Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Emergency Contact & Board-Up
Call 888-742-3085 any time. We secure your property with board-up services, tarps, and temporary fencing to prevent further damage and unauthorized entry.
Fire Damage Assessment
Our certified technicians assess the full extent of fire, smoke, and soot damage. We create a detailed restoration plan and work with your insurance adjuster.
Water Removal & Drying
Fire-fighting efforts often leave significant water damage. We extract water, deploy drying equipment, and prevent secondary water damage and mold growth.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Professional-grade equipment removes smoke residue, soot, and odor from all surfaces — walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, contents, and structural elements.
Cleaning & Sanitization
All salvageable contents and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, deodorized, and sanitized using specialized restoration techniques.
Complete Reconstruction
We rebuild and restore your home to its pre-fire condition or better — drywall, flooring, paint, electrical, plumbing, and finishing touches.

Common Causes of Fire Damage in Columbia, SC
Understanding common fire causes helps with prevention and knowing when to call for professional restoration.
Kitchen Fires
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Grease fires, unattended stoves, and appliance malfunctions can cause significant damage to kitchens and adjacent rooms.
Electrical Fires
Aging wiring in older Columbia homes, overloaded circuits, and faulty electrical components cause fires that can spread through walls before detection.
HVAC & Dryer Fires
Clogged dryer vents and malfunctioning HVAC systems are major fire risks. Regular maintenance is essential for prevention.
Lightning Strikes
Columbia's severe thunderstorm season brings lightning that can ignite roof materials, attic insulation, and electrical systems.
Candle & Space Heater Fires
Open flames and portable heating devices cause numerous residential fires, especially during cooler months.
Smoke & Soot Damage
Even small fires produce smoke that permeates the entire structure. Soot particles damage surfaces, fabrics, electronics, and HVAC systems far from the fire origin.
