What our emergency crews do in the first hours after a Columbus, OH fire directly determines how large or small your total restoration cost will be.

  • Roof and structural tarping to prevent weather-related secondary damage
  • Site safety assessment and hazard identification by licensed OH technicians

Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Columbus, OH

The visible soot on Columbus, OH walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. If it isn't removed from all penetrated surfaces simultaneously, the smell returns within weeks and the invisible health risk persists indefinitely.

Smoke odor in a Columbus, OH property after a fire is a chemical contamination, not just a smell. Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Columbus, OH property. If another contractor tried to handle your Columbus, OH smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.

  • Industrial ozone generator treatment for deep-penetrating smoke odor in Columbus, OH properties
  • Hydroxyl technology that works continuously in occupied spaces across Columbus, OH
  • Thermal fogging to penetrate wall voids and subfloor areas in Columbus, OH structures
  • Dry ice blasting for delicate surfaces, historic materials, and sensitive finishes

When we arrive at your Columbus, OH property, we'll give you a clear safety determination before you or your family re-enter any affected area. Until that assessment is complete, the safest choice is to stay elsewhere - preferably in accommodations your Columbus, OH insurance policy covers as part of additional living expenses.
The timeline depends heavily on the extent of the fire, the size of the Columbus, OH property, and how far the smoke and soot have penetrated. Small contained fires in Columbus, OH homes: typically 3 to 5 business days for full removal and cleanup. A larger residential fire in Columbus, OH with significant structural damage and whole-home smoke penetration typically takes 2 to 6 weeks.
