Fire Damage Restoration & Rebuilds in Las Vegas

Wind can carry ash from regional wildfires across the entire valley, coating roofs, pools, patio furniture, and vehicles. Wildfire ash is fine and slightly caustic, so avoid blowing it with a leaf blower, which puts it back in the air and pushes it into vents and window tracks. Turn off evaporative coolers and set your AC to recirculate until the air clears.

Gently mist and rinse hard surfaces, wear an N95 mask and gloves while cleaning, and change your HVAC filter afterward. If ash or a smoky odor has made its way indoors, we can clean surfaces, fabrics, and ductwork and deodorize the home.

Rain falling on soot and ash creates an acidic slurry that soaks into porous stucco, grout, pavers, and unsealed stone, leaving dark streaks that are difficult to remove. Inside, water from firefighting or a storm-damaged roof can carry soot deeper into drywall and carpet.

Do not scrub soot with water or household cleaners, which can smear and set stains. We start with dry methods such as chemical sponges and HEPA vacuuming, then use cleaners matched to the type of residue, whether protein, synthetic, or wood smoke, and the surface it is on.

Extended stretches above 110 degrees put heavy loads on AC compressors, extension cords, and older wiring. Dryer lint buildup, grills and smokers on patios, garages full of stored fuel and chemicals that reach extreme temperatures, and fireworks around the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve are also common causes.

Clean dryer vents at least once a year, have your AC serviced before summer, avoid running high-wattage appliances on extension cords, and store flammable products in a cool, ventilated space. If a fire happens, get out, call 911, and contact us once the fire department says the property is safe to enter.

Yes. Fire hoses and sprinklers can put hundreds or thousands of gallons into a home, soaking insulation, drywall, flooring, and contents. That water mixes with soot and ash, making it dirty and corrosive. While the desert air dries exterior surfaces quickly, water trapped inside walls and floors can lead to mold within days.

We handle fire and water damage together: extracting water, drying the structure, and cleaning smoke residue at the same time, so one problem does not make the other worse.

Often, yes, if they are handled quickly. Soot is acidic and can corrode metal contacts and circuit boards within days, so do not power on electronics that were exposed to heavy smoke. Photographs, documents, and textiles can sometimes be cleaned or freeze-dried if they were also wet.

We inventory and pack out contents, clean what can be saved, and work with specialists for electronics, artwork, and important papers. Detailed photos and lists also help with your contents insurance claim.

A small kitchen fire with smoke damage may take a few days of cleaning and deodorizing. A larger fire that requires removing drywall, insulation, and framing can take several weeks to months, depending on permits, insurance approvals, and material availability.

We provide a timeline after the initial inspection, update you at each stage, and work directly with your adjuster so approvals do not hold up the project longer than necessary.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Even a small fire can leave smoke residue and odors that irritate the lungs, and the home may be unsafe if electrical, gas, or structural systems were affected. In summer, a home without working AC can also be unsafe in the desert heat.

Many homeowners and renters policies include additional living expense coverage for hotels, rentals, and meals while the home is being repaired. Keep receipts, and ask your insurer about coverage. We provide documentation about the home’s condition to support the claim.

Broken windows, burned-through roofs, and forced-open doors leave a property exposed to theft, animals, and weather. Desert winds can blow soot and ash through openings and spread it into undamaged rooms, and a monsoon storm can add water damage to a fire loss.

Boarding up and tarping secure the property and are usually required by insurers to prevent further damage. We provide 24/7 board-up services and document the conditions before and after.
