Every fire loss is different, but our standard scope covers the work most Gilbert homes need after a fire. If your job requires something outside this list, we write it into the same estimate so you are not surprised later.
We secure windows, doors, and roof openings with plywood and plastic sheeting. This keeps rain, wind, and pests out while the claim is processed. In Gilbert, that matters most during monsoon season, when a storm can follow a fire within hours.
We HEPA vacuum ceilings, walls, and floors, then remove charred framing and debris. Soot is acidic and stains within 72 hours, so this stage runs the same day we arrive. We bag everything and haul it to a licensed disposal site.
A thermal fogger treats porous materials, a hydroxyl generator runs in occupied spaces, and air scrubber filters with carbon clean the air. Most homes need 24 to 72 hours. We do not stop until the odor is gone at the source, not just covered up.
Smoke travels through your ductwork and coats the air handler, evaporator coil, and registers. We clean the system so you are not breathing soot every time the AC kicks on. This is one of the most overlooked parts of fire damage repair Gilbert.
We photograph, inventory, and clean salvageable furniture, clothing, and electronics with ultrasonic cleaning and ozone treatment. Items that cannot be saved are documented for your insurance claim so you get reimbursed for replacement.
Drywall, paint, trim, flooring, and cabinetry go back in after the structure is dry and odor-free. We test with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera before closing walls. One crew handles the whole rebuild, so you are not managing subcontractors.
Fire and smoke damage restoration Gilbert AZ is the process of stabilizing a fire-damaged home, removing soot and char, and deodorizing every surface smoke touched. It is not just wiping walls. Smoke pushes into wall cavities, attic insulation, and HVAC ducts, so we use a thermal imaging camera and borescope to find hidden heat and soot pockets before we clean. We HEPA vacuum, apply antimicrobial solution, seal charred framing, and run air scrubbers until the air tests clean.
Gilbert homes burn differently than most people expect. A small stovetop fire in a Power Ranch kitchen can push smoke through an open floor plan in under two minutes, staining cabinets and leaving a bitter odor in the carpet pad. Monsoon-season power surges and aging appliance wiring are two of the most common ignition sources we see. If you search fire damage restoration near me Gilbert AZ after a fire, you need a crew that understands how far smoke travels through Arizona homes.
Every fire job follows the same five stages, whether it started in a garage in Ashland Ranch or a restaurant kitchen in the Heritage District. Here is exactly what happens from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.
Diagnose
Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Thermal imaging camera
Finds hidden hot spots and moisture behind walls after a fire. It shows us where soot and water traveled without cutting open every surface.
Borescope
Lets us look inside wall cavities and ductwork to confirm soot and moisture are gone before we close the walls. It is how we avoid callbacks.
HEPA vacuum
Removes fine soot particles from ceilings, walls, and floors without spreading them into the air. Standard shop vacuums push soot back into the room.
Thermal fogger
Pushes deodorizing fog into porous materials like drywall, carpet pad, and wood framing. It reaches odor molecules that sprays cannot touch.
Hydroxyl generator
Neutralizes smoke odor in occupied spaces without the evacuation that ozone requires. Safe for pets and plants, and effective over 24 to 72 hours.
Air scrubber filters
HEPA and carbon filters run continuously to pull soot and odor particles out of the air. We keep them running until the air tests clean.
Moisture meter
Confirms the structure is dry after firefighting water. We log readings daily so your insurance adjuster can see the drying progress.
IICRC FSRT fire and smoke restoration standard
Our technicians follow the IICRC FSRT protocol for soot removal, deodorization, and structural cleaning. It is the industry standard your insurance carrier recognizes, and it is why our scopes get approved without argument.
Xactimate estimating
We write every scope in Xactimate, the same platform most carriers use. That means line items match what your adjuster expects, which shortens the approval timeline and reduces the chance of a disputed estimate.
Negative air containment
During soot removal and mold remediation, we seal the work area with plastic sheeting and run a negative air machine. That keeps soot and spores from spreading into clean rooms while we work.
Antimicrobial application
After cleaning, we apply an antimicrobial solution to framing and subfloor. Firefighting water plus Gilbert heat creates ideal mold conditions, and this step stops mold before it starts.
01
What we do: We board up the broken window, HEPA vacuum every surface, clean the cabinets and ductwork, and run hydroxyl generators for 48 hours. The kitchen is rebuilt with matching paint and trim.
→ The family moves back in nine days with no smoke odor and an insurance-approved scope.
02
What we do: We use a thermal imaging camera and borescope to find hidden hot spots, remove the affected insulation, seal the charred framing, and fog the attic. The HVAC system gets a full duct cleaning.
→ The attic passes a smoke odor check, and the homeowner avoids a full insulation replacement.
03
What we do: We tarp the roof and board the garage opening the same night. The next morning we extract firefighting water, dry the framing, and begin soot removal inside the house.
→ The storm passes with no additional water damage, and the claim stays a single fire loss.
04
What we do: We work after closing hours, extract the water, clean the ductwork, and deodorize the dining room with a thermal fogger. We document everything for the commercial carrier.
→ The restaurant reopens in six days instead of the three weeks a full rebuild would have taken.
Gilbert's building stock ranges from 1970s ranch homes near the Heritage District to new-build two-stories in Morrison Ranch, and each one burns differently. Older homes often have aluminum wiring and original ductwork, which means smoke travels farther and soot settles deeper. Newer homes are tighter, so smoke has fewer places to escape and odor lingers longer. Monsoon season adds a second risk: a fire that opens the roof can be followed by rain within hours, so board-up and tarping have to happen the same night. We also work with HOA rules in communities like Power Ranch and Seville, where exterior board-up may need approval before we start. If you need 24/7 fire and smoke damage cleanup Gilbert AZ, we answer the phone and dispatch a crew regardless of the hour. Our trucks carry plywood, plastic sheeting, and air scrubbers so we can stabilize the property on the first visit.
Heritage District
Older ranch homes with original wiring and ductwork. Smoke travels farther, and we often find soot in attic insulation that a visual inspection would miss.
Power Ranch
Open floor plans and HOA rules on exterior board-up. We coordinate with the HOA so the property is secured without a violation.
Morrison Ranch
Newer construction with tight envelopes. Smoke has fewer escape routes, so odor lingers and we run hydroxyl generators longer.
Val Vista Lakes
Two-story homes where smoke rises into second-floor bedrooms and the attic. We check the upper floor and attic on every fire job here.
Agritopia
A mix of older and newer homes with mature trees. Roof damage from fire plus falling limbs is a common combination after a monsoon storm.
Monsoon season from June through September
A fire that opens a roof can be followed by heavy rain within hours. We tarp and board up the same night to prevent a second water loss.
Summer heat above 105 degrees
Heat speeds up soot etching on cabinets and countertops. We prioritize soot removal within the first 72 hours to save surfaces.
Older housing stock near the Heritage District
Aluminum wiring and original ductwork mean smoke travels farther. We use a borescope and thermal imaging camera to find hidden soot pockets.
HOA requirements in planned communities
Exterior board-up may need approval. We handle the paperwork so the property is secured without a violation notice.
Smoke damage does not stop when the flames go out. These are the three problems we see most often in Gilbert homes, and what happens if they are ignored.
Problem
Odor molecules sit inside drywall, carpet pad, and ductwork. When Gilbert humidity climbs during monsoon season, those molecules release again and the house smells like a campfire. Masking sprays do nothing to fix it.
Our Fix
We use a thermal fogger for porous materials, a hydroxyl generator for occupied rooms, and carbon-filtered air scrubbers for 24 to 72 hours. That combination reaches the source. If the odor returns after rebuild, we come back and treat it again at no charge.
Problem
Soot is acidic. Left on a kitchen cabinet or quartz countertop for more than 72 hours, it etches the finish and the surface has to be refinished or replaced. That turns a cleaning job into a remodeling job.
Our Fix
We HEPA vacuum first, then clean with a dry-chemical sponge and antimicrobial solution. We photograph every surface before and after so your adjuster can see the condition. Most cabinets and counters come back without refinishing if we get there within three days.
Problem
A fire that takes 20 minutes to knock down can leave hundreds of gallons of water in your subfloor, walls, and ceiling. Within 48 hours, mold growth starts. Now you have a fire claim and a mold claim on the same house.
Our Fix
We extract standing water with a truck-mounted water extractor, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor with a moisture meter until the structure is dry. We treat the fire and the water as one job, so nothing gets missed between two contractors.
A house fire leaves behind three problems at once: structural damage, soot residue, and smoke odor that comes back when humidity rises. We handle all three in one mobilization so you are not juggling three contractors.
Board-Up Within Hours
We secure broken windows, doors, and roof openings with plywood and plastic sheeting so rain and monsoon wind cannot get in behind the fire damage. In Gilbert, a summer storm can hit the same afternoon as a fire, so we treat board-up as an emergency, not a follow-up visit.
Smoke Odor Removed at the Source
Smoke odor removal Gilbert Arizona is not a spray-and-go job. We use a thermal fogger for porous materials and a hydroxyl generator for occupied spaces, then run air scrubber filters for 24 to 72 hours. That combination reaches the odor molecules inside drywall, subfloor, and ductwork instead of masking them.
Contents Cleaned, Not Tossed
Most furniture, clothing, and electronics can be saved with ultrasonic cleaning and ozone treatment. We inventory every item, photograph it, and clean what is salvageable. Replacing a full living room set costs far more than the cleaning, and we would rather save your grandmother's dining table than write it off.
Insurance Paperwork Handled
We document the loss with moisture meter readings, thermal images, and room-by-room photos, then build the scope in Xactimate, the same estimating platform most carriers use. That means fewer back-and-forth calls and a repair estimate your adjuster can approve without a second inspection.

They boarded up our kitchen window the same night as the fire and had air scrubbers running by morning. The smoke smell was gone in three days. Our adjuster approved the Xactimate scope without a second visit. Highly recommend for any Gilbert homeowner.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
An attic fire in our 1978 ranch house left soot in the insulation. They used a thermal imaging camera to find hot spots we did not know about and replaced the insulation. Six months later, no odor and no mold. Worth every penny.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
Called at 11 p.m. after a garage fire and a real person answered. They tarped the roof before the monsoon rain hit the next afternoon, which saved us from a second claim. The rebuild matched our paint and trim perfectly.
Google ★★★★★5.0
Our restaurant in the Heritage District had a small fire and smoke damage in the dining room. They worked after hours, cleaned the ductwork, and had us back open in six days. Professional crew, clear communication, no surprises on the bill.
Real experiences from customers who chose our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration services.
“A grease fire in our kitchen sent smoke through the whole first floor. The crew boarded up the broken window that night and had air scrubbers running by morning. They cleaned every cabinet and the ductwork, and the smell was gone in three days. Our adjuster approved the Xactimate scope without a second visit.”

“An electrical fire in the attic of our 1978 ranch house left soot in the insulation and a smell we could not get rid of. They used a thermal imaging camera to find hot spots we did not know about, replaced the insulation, and fogged the attic. Six months later, no odor and no mold.”

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
Firefighting water often does more damage than the flames. After the fire department leaves, standing water sits in your subfloor and walls. We extract it fast so you do not trade a fire loss for a mold problem in the same week.
View Emergency Water RemovalA truck-mounted water extractor pulls hundreds of gallons out of carpet, pad, and hardwood after a fire. We follow with a moisture meter to confirm the subfloor is dry before we rebuild. Skipping this step is how floors warp two months later.
View Water ExtractionAfter a fire, the structure is wet from hose water and open to the weather. We set air movers and dehumidifiers to dry framing and wood subfloor. Drying before rebuild prevents mold growth behind new drywall, which is expensive to fix later.
View Structural Drying & DehumidificationGilbert monsoon storms can dump two inches of rain in an hour. If your roof was opened by a fire, that water goes straight into the house. We tarp, extract, and dry so the fire repair is not delayed by a second loss.
View Monsoon Flood CleanupFire heat can weaken supply lines and solder joints. A burst pipe after a fire adds water damage on top of smoke damage. We locate the break, repair it, and dry the affected cavity before we close the walls.
View Burst Pipe Water DamageSoot pulled into your HVAC system coats the evaporator coil and drain pan. That can clog the condensate line and cause a leak. We clean the air handler and check the drain as part of the smoke restoration.
