The fire may be out. The damage is not. Smoke and soot move through rooms that never saw a flame, and firefighting water soaks floors, walls, and insulation. Emrick stabilizes the property, cleans the residue, removes the odor, and rebuilds.
Flames are only the start.
We handle fire, smoke, water, and the rebuild as one project.
Collapsed water damaged bedroom rebuilt - new ceilings, walls, and flooring.
Commercial space taken to bare slab, then dried and re-carpeted.
Water-damaged bathroom demoed and fully restored with new tile and fixtures.
We evaluate fire, smoke, soot, water, and structural damage.
Board-up, temporary coverings, or other stabilization measures.
Extract water and remove debris.
Professional odor-control.
Reconstruct damaged areas to restore the property.
Do not wipe soot with household cleaners. That often grinds it in. Do not run HVAC if it may push smoke through the rest of the house. Call us. We will tell you what to shut off and what to leave alone until we arrive.
A large share of local fire calls start small: a kitchen on the Highlands or Crescent Hill, a dryer, a space heater, an electrical short in an older house. Even a "small" fire can smoke the whole floor. If you can still smell it, the residue is still there.
Fire claims need a clear record of what burned, what smoked, and what got wet. We document as we go and coordinate with your adjuster.
Water from suppression often leads to water damage restoration and, if it sits, mold remediation. Storms that start electrical fires may also need storm damage board-up.
Yes, if the source residue is cleaned, not just masked. Odor treatment works after soot cleanup, not instead of it.
Not always. We separate what can be cleaned from what cannot, so you are not throwing away items that can be saved.
Cleanup can start immediately. Rebuild timing depends on structural repairs, contents, and insurance approval.
After a fire in the Louisville metro, call, and we will secure the building and start smoke damage restoration.
