Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Las Vegas
The fire is out. Now the cleanup begins.
Smoke and soot, water from the hose line, lingering odor, and the structure left behind. Locally owned, owner-operated, IICRC certified, available day or night.
After the fire trucks leave
The fire being out is not the end of it. You are standing in a house that smells like smoke, with soot on the walls and water on the floor from the hose line, and no clear idea where to start. That part is ours now.
We answer day or night. On the phone we tell you what to do first, which is usually stay out until the structure is checked and do not wipe the soot, because wiping it in makes it harder to remove. Then we show up, secure the property, and start the work in the order that actually protects what can be saved.
How a Fire Job Runs
Secure the Property First
A fire leaves a house open to weather and intrusion. We board up openings, tarp the roof where it burned through, and shut down the exposure so the damage stops getting worse while the rest of the work gets planned.
Water, Then Soot and Smoke
Most fires leave water behind from the hose line, so drying comes first, on the same IICRC S500 standard we use for water losses. Then we clean soot from surfaces and contents. Different soot needs different methods, and using the wrong one drives it deeper.
Odor, at the Source
Smoke odor lives in porous materials and travels through the HVAC system. We treat it at the source rather than covering it, because a masked smell comes back. This is the step that decides whether the house feels done or just looks done.
Back the Way It Was
Drywall, paint, flooring, cabinets. If you want the rebuild handled too, we manage it and coordinate the licensed trade partners who do the work. One point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We Help You Make Sense of the Claim
We handle the insurance conversation and back it with detailed Xactimate estimates, the same platform adjusters use, so everyone is working from the same numbers and your covered damage is documented clearly. We can coordinate with your adjuster, and we explain each step in plain language so you always know where your claim stands.
Fire and smoke damage from a sudden fire is typically covered by homeowners insurance, and a fire loss often involves several kinds of damage at once, from flame and soot to the water used to put it out. We document each of them from the first walkthrough, because a fire claim usually turns on showing the full scope clearly. More on how we handle insurance claims.
The Damage Under the Damage
A house fire is rarely one problem. The flames are what you see, but the soot, the odor, and the water are what take the longest to put right.
Flame and Structural Damage
Where the fire actually burned, materials have to come out and be rebuilt. We separate what is structurally sound from what only looks salvageable, so the repair is safe rather than cosmetic.
Soot on Surfaces and Contents
Soot is not just dirt. It is fine and often oily, and it settles into walls, ceilings, and belongings. The cleaning method depends on what burned, which is why we test before we wipe.
Smoke Odor Through the House
Smoke moves through the whole home and settles far from the fire, including inside the HVAC system. Treating the odor at its source is the difference between a house that is clean and one that just smells clean for a week.
Water from the Hose Line
Putting out a fire takes a lot of water, and it soaks into the same walls and floors the fire spared. We dry to a documented target so the fire does not become a mold problem a week later.
HVAC and Ductwork
The system that heats and cools the house also spread the smoke through it. If the ductwork is not addressed, the odor and soot come back every time the system runs.
Securing the Home
An open, fire-damaged house is exposed to weather and to anyone who wanders in. Board-up and tarping come first so the loss stops growing while the full plan comes together.

Savanna ChavezFire and Smoke Questions, Answered
Does homeowners insurance cover fire and smoke damage?
Fire and smoke damage from a sudden fire is typically covered by a standard homeowners policy, including the soot, the odor, and often the water used to put the fire out. Coverage details vary by policy, so we document the full scope from the first walkthrough and explain what we are seeing, which is usually what a fire claim turns on.
Can you get the smoke smell out for good?
Smoke odor is treatable, but only when it is handled at the source rather than masked. Odor settles into porous materials and travels through the HVAC system, so lasting results come from cleaning and treating those, not from spraying over the smell. We tell you honestly what can be cleaned and what needs to be replaced.
Should I try to clean the soot myself first?
It is best to wait. Soot is often fine and oily, and wiping it with a household cleaner can drive it deeper into the surface and make it permanent. Leaving it for the right method usually saves more of the wall, ceiling, or belonging than an early attempt to scrub it.
Why is there water damage after a fire?
Putting out a fire takes a large amount of water, and it soaks into the walls and floors the flames did not reach. That is why a fire job includes drying to a documented standard. Left wet, a fire loss can turn into a mold problem within a couple of days.
Do I have to move out during fire restoration?
It depends on how much of the home was affected and whether the kitchen, only bathroom, or main systems are involved. Some fire losses can be worked around while you stay, and larger ones are safer to handle while you stay elsewhere. Some policies include loss-of-use coverage in those situations, and we can help you raise that with your adjuster.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
It varies with how far the fire, smoke, and water spread, and how much has to be cleaned versus rebuilt. We walk you through the scope and the sequence up front so you know what each phase involves, and we keep you updated as the work moves.
