Certified Fire Restoration | Smoke & Soot Removal | 24/7 Emergency Response
When Fire Strikes Waldwick, You Need Real Help
A house fire is one of the worst moments a Waldwick family can go through. The flames may be out, but your home still needs emergency care. Soot gets into every room. Smoke smell won't go away on its own. Water from the fire trucks soaks through walls. That's where we come in.
Call for Cleanup serves all of Waldwick, including Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. Our team arrives in 30-45 minutes with the tools and training to handle fire damage the right way. We're IICRC certified, we work directly with insurance companies, and we care about helping families get back to normal.
You shouldn't have to figure this out alone. We'll handle the cleanup. You can focus on your family.
Why Calling Right Away Matters
After a fire, every hour counts. Here's what happens if you wait:
- Soot keeps falling. Those particles keep settling on your belongings, deeper into furniture, into cracks in the walls.
- Smoke smell gets worse. The smell soaks into walls, carpets, and even items that weren't directly burned. The longer it sits, the harder it is to remove.
- Acidic residue causes damage. Different types of fire create different kinds of soot. Some contain acidic material that starts corroding metals and eating away at surfaces within hours.
- Mold can start growing. Water from firefighting sits in walls and floors, creating the perfect environment for mold to start growing in just 24-48 hours.
That's why we respond in 30-45 minutes. Quick action stops the damage from getting worse and saves you money on repairs.
How We Help You Recover
We Secure Your Home
First thing: we make sure your home is safe. We check for structural damage, turn off utilities if needed, and board up windows and doors. This protects your family and your remaining belongings.
We Remove the Water
Water from the fire truck hoses needs to come out quickly. We use industrial pumps and equipment to extract water from every room. This step is critical for preventing mold growth.
We Clean the Soot and Smoke
This is where the real skill comes in. Different types of fire create different kinds of soot. We use the right cleaning methods for each type. We clean walls, ceilings, floors, and everything in them. We use special chemical sponges for delicate items and powerful equipment for structural cleaning.
We Get Rid of the Smell
Smoke smell won't disappear with air fresheners. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generators to neutralize the odor at the source. We also clean HVAC systems so you're not breathing that smell anymore.
We Save What We Can
Many of your belongings can be saved. We carefully pack out items that survived the fire and take them to our facility where we can clean them with ultrasonic equipment and specialized cleaners. These items get deodorized too.
We Coordinate Repairs
If your home needs structural repairs, we connect you with licensed contractors we trust. We make sure everything gets rebuilt to code and the repairs match the rest of your home.
Insurance and Cost Questions
Is Fire Damage Covered by Insurance?
In most cases, yes. Homeowners insurance covers fire damage and the cleanup that follows. Some policies are better than others, which is why we help you understand what your coverage includes.
Will You Work with My Insurance?
Absolutely. We bill your insurance company directly. You shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for emergency cleanup. We handle all the paperwork and communicate with your adjuster, so you can focus on your family.
What if Insurance Doesn't Cover Everything?
We'll tell you upfront what's covered and what isn't. If there are costs your insurance won't cover, we can work out a payment plan that works for your situation. We're here to help, not add stress to an already difficult time.
