Fire damage is complex. You have the charring from the flames, the water damage from the hoses, and the pervasive smoke damage. We specialize in smoke damage cleaning and soot removal from walls and ceilings. Different types of fires (protein, wood, plastic) create different types of smoke webs. We match the cleaning chemical to the type of soot to prevent smearing and permanent staining.
Masking the smell with air fresheners doesn't work. The smoke odor particles are embedded in the pores of your wood and drywall. We use ozone treatment for smoke odor and thermal fogging to penetrate these materials. This process breaks down the odor-causing molecules, ensuring that "smokey smell" doesn't return on hot, humid days months later.

"The kitchen fire was small, but the smoke ruined the whole downstairs. DCUC cleaned the walls, the carpets, and the ducts. It smells like a new house."
"They arrived while the fire department was still rolling up hoses to board up our windows. That peace of mind was priceless."
"Incredible attention to detail. They cleaned soot off my collection of porcelain figurines without breaking a single one."
Carrier Mills, formerly Carrier's Mills and Morrilsville, also known as Catskin, is a village in Saline County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,672 at the 2020 census. Carrier Mills was named after George Washington Carrier's saw and grist mills, and was one of the early Cairo and Vincennes Railroad boomtowns. Founded as a mill town and then a coal mining community, Carrier Mills has slowly lost 44% of its population since the 1920 census high of 3,000, due to the decline of the local coal industry. The village has primarily become a bedroom community, located seven miles (11 km) southwest of Harrisburg, which is the village's main source of employment, entertainment, and shopping. It is the third largest community in the Harrisburg Micropolitan Statistical Area outside of Eldorado and Harrisburg, and included in the Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky Tri-State Area. Carrier Mills also has a large African American population at 15%, compared to its neighbors, due to migration from the nearby community of Lakeview, the oldest African American settlement in the state of Illinois.
