Do not wipe. Do not paint.
- Stay out until the scene is released and the structure is safe.
- Photograph rooms as they are. Residue is evidence and a clock.
- Do not wipe soot with water or dry rags — that etches finishes.
- Do not run HVAC until we inspect the system. It will spread odor.
- Call (239) 688-2880 for board-up if openings are unsecured.
What does the crew do on site?
Board-up, HEPA and chemical soot cleaning, extraction and drying of firefighting water, HVAC wipe-down, and odor work with hydroxyl or ozone only in unoccupied spaces after residue is gone. If a protein fire etched cabinets, they come out.

Common questions
Fire restoration questions
What do I do right after a house fire?
Do not re-enter until the fire department says the scene is safe. Call your insurance company, photograph the damage, and call Aftermath Restoration Group at (239) 688-2880 for board-up and soot stabilization. Do not wipe walls. Soot is acidic and etches finishes if it sits.
Can smoke odor be fully removed?
Only if the residue is removed, not masked. The process is structural cleaning, HVAC cleaning, HEPA filtration, and odor treatment such as thermal fogging or ozone in unoccupied spaces after the source is gone.
Do you clean up the water from firefighting?
Yes. Water from fire hoses soaks drywall, insulation, and floors. We extract it and dry the structure along with the soot and odor work, so the fire loss does not turn into a mold problem.
Does insurance cover fire and smoke damage?
Fire, smoke, and soot from a sudden fire are often covered, and board-up is part of making the property safe. Coverage depends on your policy. We document the loss with photos and a written scope, and you keep the claim.
Do you handle commercial fire damage?
Yes. We clean soot and smoke, remove odor, dry firefighting water, and board up openings for homes and businesses, 24/7. Call (239) 688-2880.
