The hours after a fire are disorienting. Your property is open to the weather, soot is actively etching into surfaces, and the smell seems to be everywhere at once. The most important thing you can do is stabilize the situation quickly, because smoke and soot damage compounds by the day. HMF provides emergency response to secure the property and stop the damage from spreading.
Soot is acidic and corrosive. Left untreated, it permanently stains walls, tarnishes metals, and destroys finishes that survived the fire itself. Our crews clean smoke and soot residue from every affected surface using methods matched to the material, from structural framing down to contents and keepsakes. Odor is treated at the molecular level, not masked, so your property smells clean because it is clean.
Fires also leave behind water. Whatever firefighting saved your structure also soaked it, and untreated moisture invites mold within days. We handle extraction, drying, and dehumidification as part of the same project, then move into repair and restoration. One team, one point of contact, from the first board-up to the final walkthrough.
From kitchen fires to major losses, we secure your home, protect what survived, and restore what can be saved.
Fast stabilization and restoration that protects the asset and shortens vacancy after a unit fire.
Commercial fire cleanup planned around getting you operational again as quickly as safety allows.
Detailed scopes, photos, and documentation that keep claims clean and projects moving.
Board-up, tarping, and stabilization to secure the property and stop secondary damage immediately.
Cleaning methods matched to each surface, because the wrong method sets stains instead of removing them.
We eliminate smoke odor at its source rather than covering it with fragrance that fades in a week.
Extraction and drying are built into the project, preventing the mold problem that often follows a fire.
Salvageable belongings are cleaned, deodorized, and stored securely until your property is ready.
