Comprehensive Soot & Smoke Cleanup

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.

The Science of Deodorization

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove smoke stains from brick? Yes. We use specialized latex soot sponges and heavy-duty degreasers to pull soot out of porous brick fireplaces and walls.
What is a "board up"? If the fire broke windows or burned through the roof, we install plywood boards and tarps to secure the property against looters and weather.
How do you clean clothes that smell like smoke? We work with specialized textile restoration dry cleaners who use ozone washing processes to remove the odor from clothing and linens.
Do you handle the rebuild? We work closely with licensed fire damage repair contractors to transition seamlessly from the cleanup phase to the reconstruction phase.
Why does the smoke smell come back? If the structure wasn't sealed or if charred wood wasn't removed/encapsulated, the smell can return. We use sealants to "lock in" any remaining odor on structural framing.Call 24/7: Get an Immediate Crew On-Site

Lathrup Village, MI Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The city of Lathrup Village is an outgrowth of the development known as Lathrup Townsite, the dream of its developer Louise Lathrup Kelley. In 1923 she purchased a tract of 1,000 acres (4 km2) in Southfield Township, in southern Oakland County, and proceeded to plant a residential neighborhood that encompasses the city of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2). Lathrup Townsite was conceived as a controlled community with rigorous standards, including houses built only of masonry construction; early integration of attached garages; as well as established minimums for construction cost to ensure quality. The community also had housing covenants to prevent the sale of homes to African American families, part of a larger trend in the mid-20th century of racist white Detroiters fleeing to the suburbs to avoid living near black residents (see white flight). As the community developed, Mrs. Kelley implemented numerous innovative directives, including operating a shuttle service to local shopping areas, and allowing the financing of automobiles as part of the financing of houses, which created a stronger connection between the relatively isolated townsite and more established suburbs, as well as the city of Detroit. Mr. Charles Kelley, who had been a real estate writer for the Detroit News, assisted his wife in bringing talented architects to the community to design many of the custom homes that are features of the community. The City of Lathrup Village was incorporated in 1953 as the first incorporated community in Southfield Township. The residents thwarted an attempt by township residents to include Lathrup Townsite in their planned incorporation of the city of Southfield, resulting in Southfield's incorporation being delayed until 1958. Louise Lathrup Kelley played an active role in the new city until her death in 1963, after which her remaining real estate holdings in the city were sold and developed.
