Why Homeowners Call Us for Fire Damage Cleanup
A burned room is not a weekend project with a shop vac. Wet ash is caustic, the drywall is heavy and full of nails, and every bag you carry out is a piece of evidence for your claim. Here is what you get when you dial our line.
Licensed & Insured Independent Pros
The contractors in our network are independent, licensed and insured local businesses, not guys with a pickup and a flyer. Ask for the license and a certificate of insurance before tear-out begins, and ask if they work to the IICRC S700 fire and smoke standard.
A Written Estimate Before Tear-Out
No one should be pulling cabinets off your wall on a verbal number. The contractor walks the loss, measures square feet of drywall and carpet, counts linear feet of base cabinet and estimates dumpster loads. Ask for a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, then forward it to your adjuster.
Rapid Local Dispatch
The line is answered 24/7, and dispatch starts while you are still on the phone. We reach for crews working near Farm Loop first. Arrival depends on crew availability and distance, and it is often the same day.
The Right Gear for a Burned Room
A burned room calls for real protective and containment equipment. Expect half-face or full-face respirators with P100 cartridges, Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves, HEPA vacuums, negative air machines, 6-mil poly sheeting with zipper doors, flat bars, and heavy contractor bags rated for nails and broken glass.
Do not start shoveling before the fire marshal releases the property and the power company confirms the service is safe. Wet ash is alkaline enough to irritate skin and eyes, so keep kids and pets out of the burned rooms.
Dedicated Fire Damage Cleanup Solutions
The job comes down to this: remove what is ruined, save what can be cleaned, and leave a room that no longer reeks of smoke. These are the jobs the independent crews in our network handle most.
Labor and dump fees drive most of the bill, which is why a careful sort at the start can save a lot on the claim. A pile of cabinet doors that only needed a degreaser wash should never end up in the dumpster. Ask the contractor to walk you through what stays and what goes before the first bag is filled.
Debris and Ash Removal
Crews shovel and bag the wet ash, collapsed ceiling, burned furniture and charred trim, then carry it out on a protected path.
- Roll-off dumpster sized to the job (10, 20 or 30 yard)
- Plywood under the dumpster to protect the driveway
- Floor runners from the burned room to the door
Selective Demolition
Charred and soaked drywall gets cut back to a clean line, typically at the nearest stud or seam. Insulation, carpet and pad, vinyl plank and ruined base cabinets come out with it.
- Cut lines measured and photographed
- Electrical left untouched for the electrician
- Fasteners pulled so the framing is ready to inspect
Salvage Sorting and Photo Records
Every item is sorted into keep and toss piles and photographed before it leaves the house. Ask for wide shots of each room, close-ups with a tape measure for scale, and a written list your adjuster can match to the photos.
- Carpet and pad samples held until the adjuster signs off
- Brand and model labels photographed on appliances
- Disposal receipts kept for the file
Poly Walls, HEPA Vacuuming and Wipe-Down
The work area is sealed with 6-mil poly and a zipper door, and a negative air machine pulls ash away from the rooms you still use. Loose ash is HEPA vacuumed first, because wiping dry soot just smears it, then surfaces get a dry chemical sponge and a damp wipe, ceiling first and floor last.
Kitchen Grease Fire Cleanup
Grease fires coat the kitchen in a tacky brown residue and usually wreck the range hood and the uppers over the stove. Crews pull the burned uppers, haul out ruined appliances and spoiled food, and degrease what stays.
- Hood and duct checked for grease buildup
- Pantry and fridge contents photographed and bagged
Garage Fire Cleanup
Garage fires are their own animal: gas cans, paint, pool chlorine, pesticides, a burned vehicle and a wall of melted tools. Hazardous containers are pulled aside for proper disposal, and any vehicle stays put until the auto adjuster has seen it.
- Tools photographed for the contents claim
- Slab swept and HEPA vacuumed when cleared

What Farm Loop Callers Told Us Afterward
Our dispatchers check in after each job, and these are some of the replies.
The pan caught, the hood went up, and by the time it was out the uppers were black and the whole kitchen was sticky. The contractor took out the burned uppers, bagged every can in the pantry and scrubbed the rest. The lower cabinets were saved, which my adjuster was glad to see.
After a bedroom fire in one of my rentals, the unit was a black, wet mess. The crew photographed every piece of furniture before it went out and gave me a list my insurer accepted without a single question. Three days later it was bare studs and a clean slab.
Our garage fire melted my husband's entire tool wall and left paint cans and pool chlorine everywhere. They kept the chemicals out of the dumpster and did not touch the car until our auto insurer had looked at it.
The living room carpet was soaked from the hoses and the whole house smelled like a campfire. The crew hung plastic, set up an air scrubber and had the carpet and pad out that afternoon. The written estimate matched the final bill.
Fire Damage Cleanup Questions We Hear Every Week
Should I throw out burned things before the adjuster sees them?
Hold off. Take photos of everything and keep the damaged items until your adjuster releases them. If something is a safety hazard or spoiling, like food or wet mattresses, photograph it with a tape measure in the shot and note the brand, then let the crew remove it. Keep a small cut sample of carpet and pad as proof of quality.
How big a dumpster does a fire cleanup usually need?
One bedroom typically fits in a 10 or 20 yard container, but a kitchen with cabinets, appliances and wet drywall usually calls for a 20 or 30 yard. Wet drywall and plaster are heavy, so weight limits matter as much as volume. Make sure the estimate spells out the container size and the number of hauls.
Why do crews cut the drywall higher than the burn marks?
The visible char is only part of the damage. Fire hose water climbs the gypsum above the visible stain, and smoke gets into the paper and the wall cavity. Crews check with a moisture meter and cut to a clean line at a stud or seam so the patch is easy to hang later.
Is it safe to stay in the house while the tear-out is happening?
That comes down to how widespread the damage is and whether the electrical and HVAC have been cleared. With poly containment, a zipper door and a negative air machine, many families stay in the unaffected rooms during a single-room job. Leave the system off until someone inspects the ducts, and talk it through with the crew lead.
What happens to paint cans and chemicals after a garage fire?
They should never go in the roll-off. Fire-stressed fuel, paint, solvent, chlorine and pesticide containers can leak or react, so the crew isolates them for a hazardous waste drop-off or licensed hauler. Ask how the contractor plans to handle them before work starts.
Will my insurance pay for debris removal and tear-out?
Most homeowner policies include debris removal as part of the dwelling coverage, but limits and terms vary, so read your policy or ask your agent. The thing that moves a claim along is good paperwork: photos, an itemized list, measurements and a line-item estimate. You decide what to sign and how the claim is handled.
