24/7 fire & smoke damage across Canby and Clackamas County. A crew is on site fast to stop the damage.
Call 503-966-3749A fire leaves two problems, the damage from the flames and the smoke, and often the water damage from putting it out. Soot is acidic and keeps etching surfaces the longer it sits, and smoke odor works its way into drywall, insulation and fabric if it is not treated properly.
We board up and secure the property first, then work through soot and smoke cleaning, structural cleaning, and odor removal, alongside the water extraction and drying a fire response usually needs. Contents that can be cleaned are documented and cleaned rather than thrown out.

- Debris removal and disposal of materials that cannot be restored
How fire damage restoration works
We secure the building. Board-up and tarping so the property is closed off while work begins.
We clean soot and address water. Surfaces are cleaned before soot etches further, and any firefighting water is extracted and dried.
We treat odor and clean contents. Affected materials are sealed or treated for smoke odor, and salvageable contents are cleaned and documented.
What a fire loss usually needs
Visible soot on walls, ceilings and contents after any size of fire.
Smoke odor that lingers well beyond the burned area.
Water damage from the fire department's hoses, on top of the fire itself.
Where we work
Fire calls come in at every scale, a kitchen fire in one town, a larger loss in another, across the service area.

How soon after a fire should I call?
As soon as it is safe to re-enter. Soot is acidic and keeps damaging surfaces the longer it sits, and firefighting water needs to be extracted quickly.
Can smoke odor really be removed?
In most cases, yes, with proper cleaning and sealing of the materials it soaked into. Odor that is just masked instead of treated tends to come back.
Do you handle small fires too, like a kitchen fire?
Yes. Fire and smoke jobs range from a small kitchen fire to a full structure loss, and the cleanup approach scales to the damage.
Can my belongings be saved?
Many items can be cleaned rather than replaced, we document and clean what is salvageable and let you know what is not.
Do you also deal with the water from the fire department?
Yes, extraction and drying after firefighting is part of a fire response, it is usually the fastest-moving part of the damage.
Do you document the loss for insurance?
Yes, photos, a damage scope and a record of the work, so you have what an adjuster needs. What the policy pays is between you and the carrier.
