A structure fire changes a Como property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Como roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Como job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Como, WI insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Como properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

One coordinator manages your Como job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
