Fire Damage Restoration in Ramsey
We Handle Smoke, Soot, and Rebuilding So Ramsey Families Can Come Home
Fire Damage Goes Way Beyond the Flames
A fire in your Ramsey home or business happens in minutes. The damage takes much, much longer to fix. Even small fires leave thick, sticky soot on walls and ceilings. The smell gets into everything—your furniture, clothes, carpet, and even the air you breathe.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Ramsey families and business owners near the train station, Finch Park, and beyond have trusted us to clean up after fire for years. We show up fast, handle the mess, and get your property back to normal. That's what we do.
Why Speed Matters After a Fire
Smoke and soot stick to everything. Every day that passes, the damage gets harder to fix. Soot bonds to walls and can ruin paint forever. Smoke smell soaks into wood and insulation. The faster we start, the better we can protect your home or business and belongings.
Our Fire Cleanup Process
We handle everything from the moment you call until your property is clean, safe, and rebuilt.
We Arrive & Check Everything (30-45 minutes)
Our team gets to your Ramsey property fast. We check what burned and what was damaged by smoke or water from the fire trucks. We make sure the building is safe to go inside. We take pictures for your insurance company.
Board Up & Secure (Same Day)
We put boards on broken windows and doors. We make sure your property is locked up and protected from weather and people looking to steal. Then we drain any water left behind from firefighting. This keeps damage from getting worse.
Clean Away Soot & Smoke (3-7 Days)
We scrub every wall, ceiling, and surface with special cleaners. Different kinds of soot need different cleaning methods. We know the right way to do this without making it worse. We don't just paint over the damage—we actually clean it.
Remove the Smoke Smell (Day 4-5)
This is what most people care about. We use special machines to get rid of smoke smell from the air, walls, and belongings. Some things can be cleaned and brought back. Others need to be packed up and cleaned outside the building. We'll be honest about what can be saved.
Repair & Rebuild (1-4 Weeks)
We fix walls, repaint, replace flooring, and rebuild whatever was damaged. We work with your insurance company so the costs are covered. When we're done, your property looks like the fire never happened.
Types of Fires We See in Ramsey
Kitchen Fires (Most Common)
A pan gets too hot. Oil catches fire. You grab it and flames spread to curtains and cabinets. It happens fast. Even if you put it out quickly, the smoke gets into everything—cabinets, walls, upstairs bedrooms. We've seen this in homes all around Ramsey.
Our response: Remove smoke, clean all surfaces, restore cabinets and kitchen completely.
Commercial Fires (Business District)
Ramsey's business district sees fires from electrical issues, cooking equipment, and heating systems. Restaurants, offices, and retail shops need fast cleanup so they can reopen. Every day closed means lost income. We understand that urgency.
Our response: Fast turnaround, working nights if needed, full documentation for insurance and health department.
Bedroom Fires (Candles, Heaters, Charging Devices)
A candle tips over. A space heater gets too close to bedding. A phone charger shorts out. Fire starts and spreads before anyone notices. Smoke travels through your whole house. It's scary because it often happens at night when people are sleeping.
Our response: Carefully remove burned items, clean and deodorize entire home, check HVAC system for smoke spread.
Electrical Fires (Outlets, Appliances, Wiring)
Old wiring catches fire. An appliance fails. An outlet overloads. These fires can be small but they create thick, chemical-smelling smoke. Your home smells like burning plastic for weeks after. Ramsey has a mix of older and newer homes—both can have electrical problems.
Our response: Special cleaning for chemical residue, deep deodorization, HVAC cleaning, electrical inspection coordination.
Garage & Basement Fires
Gasoline, paint, tools catch fire. Furnaces and water heaters malfunction. The smoke seeps into your living space through walls and vents. Even if the fire stays in the garage or basement, smoke damage spreads throughout the whole home.
Our response: Full property cleaning, smoke damage assessment, structural inspection, HVAC system decontamination.

Questions About Fire Damage?
What should I do right after a fire in Ramsey?
First, make sure everyone is safe and out of the building. Call 911 if you haven't already. Once the fire department says it's OK, call us right away at (551) 751-1288. We'll come out and secure your property, start cleaning up, and help with insurance. Don't touch anything or try to clean it yourself—improper cleaning can make smoke damage much worse.
How do you get rid of the smoke smell?
Smoke smell is hard because it gets into everything—walls, furniture, carpet, clothes, everything. We don't just spray perfume or open windows. We use special machines that pull smoke particles out of the air. We clean walls and ceilings with chemical sponges. We treat the HVAC system so it doesn't blow smoke smell around. Some items can be cleaned with ozone machines. Some items can't be saved. We'll be honest about what can and can't be fixed.
Will my insurance pay for fire damage cleanup?
Yes. Most homeowners and business insurance covers fire damage and cleanup. We work directly with all major insurance companies. We take photos, fill out forms, and bill your insurance. You usually won't pay anything out of pocket except your deductible. We'll explain what your policy covers and what you might need to pay for.
How long does it take to restore a property after a fire?
It depends on how bad the fire was. Small fires might take 1-2 weeks. Bigger fires take 3-4 weeks or longer. Cleanup and deodorization usually take 1-2 weeks. Repairs and rebuilding take longer. We'll give you a timeline so you know what to expect and when you can return.
Can I stay in my Ramsey home during cleanup?
It depends on the damage. If the fire was contained to one room and you can't smell heavy smoke throughout the house, maybe. If the whole house smells like smoke or if utilities are damaged, you'll need to stay somewhere else for safety. We'll help you figure it out and might be able to recommend temporary housing options.
Do you help Ramsey businesses too?
Yes. We work with businesses in Ramsey's business district all the time. We know every day closed means lost income. We work fast and can work nights or weekends if needed. We handle all documentation for insurance companies and health department inspections. We'll get you back open as quickly as possible.
