Fire Damage Restoration in Norwood
We Clean Up the Smoke and Soot So Your Family Can Come Home
Fire Damage Goes Beyond What You Can See
A fire in your Norwood home happens fast. But the cleanup takes time. Even a small kitchen fire leaves thick smoke and black soot all over your walls, ceilings, and furniture. The smell gets into everything. Your clothes, your couch, even the air in your house.
You shouldn't have to deal with this alone. Norwood families have trusted us to clean up after fires for years. We show up quickly, handle the mess, and make your home safe again. That's what we do.
Why You Need to Call Right Away
Smoke and soot are acidic. They stick to everything and cause more damage every hour. Soot eats through paint and metal. Smoke smell soaks into walls and insulation. The faster we start cleaning, the more we can save.

Types of Fires We Handle in Norwood
Kitchen Fires
The most common. Someone's cooking and a pan catches fire. Oil spills and flames spread to cabinets. It happens in seconds. Even if you put it out fast, smoke fills the whole house. It gets into upstairs bedrooms, closets, and the basement.
We remove all smoke, clean cabinets and walls, and restore your kitchen.
Electrical Fires (Outlets, Appliances)
Old wiring. A bad outlet. An appliance that fails. Electrical fires are small but they create thick, chemical smoke. Your house smells like burning plastic for weeks. The smoke is harder to clean than regular fire smoke.
We use special cleaners for chemical smoke and treat your HVAC system.
Bedroom Fires (Candles, Heaters)
A candle tips over. A space heater gets too close to blankets. The fire spreads before anyone notices. These are scary because they happen at night. Smoke travels fast through the whole house.
We remove burned items, clean everything, and check your HVAC for smoke damage.
Basement and Furnace Fires
A furnace malfunctions. Something in storage catches fire. The smoke rises up into the living areas. Your whole house smells like smoke even though the fire was downstairs.
We clean the basement and treat the whole house for smoke odor.

Questions About Fire Damage?
What should I do right after a fire?
First, make sure everyone is safe. Call 911 if you haven't already. Once the fire department says it's OK, call us at (551) 751-1288. We'll come out, secure your home, and start the cleanup. Don't touch anything or try to clean it yourself. Soot and smoke are more dangerous than they look.
Can you really get rid of the smoke smell?
Yes. Smoke smell is hard because it soaks into walls and insulation. We don't just spray air freshener. We use special machines that remove smoke at the source. We clean your HVAC system. We treat walls and ceilings. Some items go to our facility for deep cleaning. When we're done, the smell is gone—not just covered up.
Will insurance pay for fire damage cleanup?
Yes. Most homeowners insurance covers fire damage and smoke damage. We work directly with your insurance company. We take photos, write reports, and send invoices. You usually won't pay anything out of pocket. We'll help you understand what's covered.
How long does fire restoration take?
It depends on the damage. Small fires take 1-2 weeks. Bigger fires take 3-4 weeks or more. Cleanup and odor removal take about a week. Repairs and rebuilding take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline so you know when you can move back in.
Can we stay in our home during the cleanup?
Maybe. If the fire was small and limited to one room, you might be able to stay. If smoke spread through the whole house or utilities are damaged, you'll need to stay somewhere else. We'll help you figure it out and can suggest temporary housing options.
Do you talk to an owner directly?
Yes. Cadell Orr, our co-owner, answers most calls himself. When you call about fire damage, you might talk to him directly. He can answer questions, discuss your situation, and make decisions on the spot. No waiting for callbacks.
