Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Tempe, AZ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration removes soot, neutralizes smoke odor, seals porous surfaces, and dries structural cavities after residential or commercial fires, preventing permanent staining and air-quality hazards in Tempe homes.

Most single-room kitchen fires are cleaned, sealed, and odor-treated in two to three days.

Whole-home smoke infiltration from an attic or garage fire takes five to seven days, including content pack-out, HVAC duct cleaning, and 72-hour hydroxyl treatment. Timeline depends on the number of affected rooms, the type of soot, and whether fire-suppression water is present. Tempe Emergency Water Damage provides a written completion date in the initial quote, and we update you daily if scope changes.

Single-room kitchen fires with localized soot typically cost $1,800 to $3,500, covering HEPA vacuuming, surface cleaning, and odor sealing.

Whole-home smoke damage from an attic or electrical fire ranges from $8,000 to $22,000, depending on square footage, the extent of content pack-out, and whether HVAC ducts require cleaning or replacement. Factors that increase cost include porous surfaces like unsealed wood paneling, cathedral ceilings that require scaffolding, and synthetic-soot residue from burned plastics that needs solvent cleaning. Every Tempe Emergency Water Damage quote is delivered in writing after the on-site inspection, with no hidden fees.

HEPA vacuuming and surface cleaning use EPA-registered, low-VOC cleaners that are safe once dry—typically within two hours.

Hydroxyl generators produce no residual byproducts and can run while the home is occupied. Ozone shock treatment requires the property to be vacant for 24 to 48 hours and fully ventilated before re-entry. Tempe Emergency Water Damage always discloses which treatment method we're using, provides Material Safety Data Sheets on request, and schedules ozone treatments when you can stay elsewhere. Pets and plants are removed during ozone cycles.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration is an emergency service booked after a fire event, not a routine maintenance task.

Once completed, the work is permanent—soot is removed, odor is neutralized, and surfaces are sealed. No repeat treatment is needed unless another fire occurs. Tempe Emergency Water Damage provides a 12-month workmanship warranty covering reappearing odors or missed soot, so if any issue resurfaces within a year, we return at no charge to re-treat the affected area.

Yes. Every job carries a written 12-month workmanship warranty covering reappearing smoke odor, soot bleed-through on sealed surfaces, and any cleaning or sealing defects. If odor returns or new stains appear within the warranty period, Tempe Emergency Water Damage returns at no charge to re-treat the area, extend the warranty six months, and verify air quality with a particle counter. The guarantee is void if you paint over unsealed surfaces or introduce new smoke sources.

Surface wiping of light soot on non-porous materials—glass, metal appliances, sealed countertops—can be done with a pH-neutral cleaner and microfiber cloth, but any soot on drywall, wood, fabric, or porous tile should be left to professionals.

DIY cleaning with the wrong product sets stains permanently, spreads soot into textures, and voids most homeowners Professional restoration coverage. Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration requires HEPA vacuums, thermal imaging to locate hidden damage, surface-specific cleaners, odor-sealing primer, and hydroxyl or ozone generators—equipment that costs more to rent than hiring a professional team, and misuse can worsen damage or create health hazards.
