Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Xenia roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Xenia, OH insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
