After the fire is out

Firefighting leaves behind water and chemical residue. Both need professional handling, fast.

  • Standing water & saturation

    The water used to extinguish a fire soaks the structure and must be extracted promptly.

  • Soot & smoke residue

    Soot is acidic and keeps damaging surfaces until it's properly cleaned.

  • Lingering smoke odor

    Smoke penetrates porous materials and needs specialized deodorization to remove.

  • Weakened structure

    Heat and water together can compromise framing and finishes that need assessment.

  • Discoloration around vents

    Staining and yellowing near HVAC registers show smoke traveled through the ductwork and spread beyond the burn area.

Seeing any of these in Birmingham? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What our fire & water service includes

We handle the water left behind and the fire damage together, then rebuild.

  • Post-fire water extraction

    We remove firefighting water and dry the structure before secondary damage sets in.

  • Soot & smoke cleanup

    Surfaces and contents are cleaned of corrosive soot and smoke residue.

  • Odor removal

    Specialized deodorization neutralizes smoke odor at the source, not just masks it.

  • Structural restoration

    We repair and rebuild fire- and water-damaged areas to pre-loss condition.

How Our Process Works

No guesswork. Every Birmingham, AL fire job moves through the same trusted stages, start to finish.

  1. Call & Secure

    We answer 24/7 and arrive quickly to board up the property and scope the fire destruction.

  2. Remove Soot & Char

    We remove the residue without delay, then deodorize with thermal fogging and air scrubbing.

  3. Neutralize the Smoke

    We seal, treat, and re-clean affected areas, then verify the odor is neutralized before moving on to rebuild.

  4. Repair & Rebuild

    The final step rebuilds everything the fire touched and returns your contents and residence to normal.

Why combined damage can't wait

Fire damage and water damage compound each other, and both worsen by the hour.

  • Soot keeps corroding

    Acidic soot etches metal, glass, and finishes the longer it's left in place.

  • Mold from firefighting water

    All that water creates the same mold risk as any flood if it isn't dried quickly.

  • Set-in smoke odor

    The longer smoke sits in materials, the harder and costlier it is to remove.

Fire Damage in Birmingham: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Birmingham

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Smoke Damage Cleanup

    Smoke leaves an oily film across walls and ceilings that gets harder to lift the longer it waits. Avondale's historic bungalows and older Southside apartment buildings hold that residue in plaster and painted trim more than newer builds. We break the film down, then clear the air.

    See Smoke Damage Cleanup details

  • Soot Removal

    Soot carries acid that begins eating into glass and corroding metal within hours. Birmingham's older finishes and fixtures across West End and other pre 1970s neighborhoods take the brunt of that damage. Our crew starts with dry sponging, then moves to wet cleaning when needed.

    See Soot Removal details

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once a fire is knocked down, char, ash, and firefighting water are usually still sitting inside the structure. Our Jefferson County crew clears that debris and stabilizes the site so repair work can start without waiting on a second contractor to show up.

    How our Fire Damage Cleanup works

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    A smoke smell covered up with spray never actually leaves, it returns. We treat the source directly with thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. Alabama's humid air keeps odor alive in porous framing and soft goods longer than drier climates.

    How our Smoke Odor Removal works

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    We reframe, re drywall, and refinish back to pre loss condition, not just patch and paint. A Mountain Brook or Crestline Heights home gets matched trim and plaster texture so repaired rooms blend with the rest of the house. One team carries the job through.

    See Structural Repair & Rebuild details

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off site in secure storage while your Birmingham home is repaired. Furniture, electronics, and keepsakes are logged before anything leaves, and returned once repairs and odor work are complete.

    How our Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out works

  • Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

    Board up and roof tarping happen within hours, not days. An open roof or window invites weather damage and intruders on top of what the fire already did. Alabama storm season can turn an unsecured Birmingham home into a second loss overnight if it waits.

    How our Emergency Board-Up & Tarping works

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    We bring in more hands when a loss is bigger, so a business does not sit closed longer than necessary. Downtown Birmingham and Five Points South businesses, plus the UAB adjacent commercial corridor, get priority scheduling, insurer coordination, and after hours work so doors reopen sooner.

    How our Commercial Fire Damage Restoration works

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    A furnace puff back coats walls, ceilings, and ductwork in oily black soot fast. Oil furnaces are uncommon across the Southeast, where gas and heat pump systems dominate, but when it happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning methods.

    More about Puff-Back Cleaning

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Wildfire smoke can drift into a structure and coat surfaces in fine ash and residue without any flame ever reaching the property. We offer exterior ash removal, HEPA filtration, and deodorization as a standard capability for any home or business that needs it.

    See Wildfire Smoke Remediation details

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Smoke gets pulled into forced air ducts and keeps recirculating soot and odor long after the visible cleanup looks finished. This is a step every Birmingham ZIP needs after a fire. We run duct and vent soot cleaning, HEPA filtration, and system deodorization.

    More about Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Creosote and soot from a chimney fire often reach the firebox, hearth, mantel, and nearby walls. Larger, older Mountain Brook and Crestline Heights homes are more likely to have a working fireplace, though not every one does. Have the flue checked by a licensed chimney pro before lighting another fire.
