Fire doesn’t discriminate. It moves fast, damages wide, and touches parts of your home you’d least expect. Even areas far from the blaze can end up coated in soot, soaked with water, or filled with lingering odors. Whether the fire started in the kitchen or the living room or came from a nearby wildfire, it all comes with challenges. ExpeDry is here to help guide you through those challenges with clear answers, a calm approach, and support every step of the way.

After a fire, the aftermath often feels unpredictable. What once felt familiar can shift into something uncertain. Each space reacts differently, and the full picture may take time to come into focus. Damage might appear obvious in one area but remain hidden in others. What’s important is approaching the situation with care, patience, and the right tools.
These are some of the most common issues homeowners experience following a fire:
In unexpected situations that leave you dealing with water damage, ExpeDry offers its hand to guide you through.
Fire cleanup doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Every home and situation brings different damage levels, layouts, and timelines. Still, we follow a proven process that adapts to your needs while giving you a clear picture of what’s next.
We start by inspecting the space. Our crew walks through the property, documents the damage, and identifies risks like unstable ceilings or mold-prone surfaces. We also pinpoint areas that need quick attention, like soaked floors or fire-affected support structures.
This stage also helps us guide conversations with your home insurance company. We document everything so the claims process can move forward with less stress on your end.
Once the initial assessment is complete and the immediate dangers have been identified, our next step is to secure your property. This is important to prevent further damage and to protect your belongings. If the fire has compromised the structural integrity of the roof, walls, or windows, we will implement temporary measures such as boarding up openings or placing tarps.
Securing the site also involves controlling access to prevent accidental injury, as a fire-damaged structure can contain numerous hazards. We establish safety perimeters and take steps to mitigate risks like weakened floors or unstable debris, thus creating a controlled environment where our team can work safely and methodically.
Burnt items, collapsed drywall, and soot-covered furniture all need to go. Our team carefully sorts through the space to remove debris without disrupting areas that remain structurally sound. We use protective equipment and take steps to reduce exposure to any contaminants that might still be present. This step clears the way for deeper cleaning and gives you back a space that feels a little more manageable.
Smoke doesn’t stick to one place — it finds its way into fabrics, vents, and porous surfaces. We offer complete smoke damage cleaning that targets hard-to-reach areas and breaks down soot buildup. Our smoke restoration services also tackle odors that regular cleaning can’t touch.
Our team uses advanced deodorizing methods, including thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment. These methods help refresh the space and improve indoor air quality during fire and water restoration.
Firefighting efforts, while necessary, often introduce large volumes of water into the property, leading to significant water damage. Prompt water extraction and drying are paramount to prevent secondary issues like structural weakening or mold growth. Our team utilizes powerful extraction tools to clear out standing water from your floor, carpet, and other affected areas.
Following extraction, we deploy industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry out the structure and its contents, addressing even hidden moisture in wall cavities or beneath flooring.
Once visible damage is cleared, we go deeper. Soot and moisture can create a perfect environment for mold. Our mold remediation and antimicrobial treatment services help clean affected areas and prevent future growth. We treat surfaces and air systems to reduce health risks and improve the overall safety of your home.
This part of the process supports your long-term recovery. It gives you peace of mind knowing the space isn’t just clean—it’s healthy to live in again.
Once the fire damage cleanup phase is complete, meaning debris is gone, soot and smoke are addressed, water is extracted, and the area is sanitized, the focus shifts to restoration and reconstruction.
Restoration might involve repairs like replacing drywall, painting, installing new carpet or floor coverings, and repairing or replacing damaged cabinetry, especially in areas like the kitchen. For more extensive damage, reconstruction of entire sections of your home or business might be necessary.

That depends on how extensive the damage is. A small kitchen fire might take a few days to clean up, while a multi-room fire or one with roof and water damage could take weeks. We will give you a clear estimate after our inspection and keep you updated throughout the process.
Usually, no. Fire-damaged homes often have hidden hazards like unstable flooring, poor indoor air quality, and exposed electrical components. Smoke particles and mold also create health risks. We recommend staying elsewhere until the space is cleaned and deemed safe.
In most cases, yes. We use deep-cleaning tools and deodorizing treatments to reach surfaces and materials that hold odor. Some items may be too damaged to clean, but for the rest, our smoke removal service can eliminate lingering smells from your indoor space.
Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies do provide coverage for fire damage, which typically includes the cost of fire damage cleanup, smoke remediation, water damage mitigation from firefighting efforts, and property restoration. However, the extent of coverage can vary based on your specific policy terms, limits, and deductibles.
After the fire department clears the scene, focus on safety first. Avoid re-entering the home until it’s inspected. Then, contact your insurance company to start a claim. Call ExpeDry next so we can schedule your emergency assessment and begin the fire damage cleanup as soon as possible.
