The fire is out, but the damage is still working. Soot keeps etching surfaces and the smell keeps spreading into walls, ducts, and fabric. Mr. Damage Rescue handles smoke damage restoration with IICRC-certified crews who identify the residue type first, then match the right cleaning and deodorizing method to it. We are on site the same day you call.

Who It's For
Smoke damage is the residue and odor left behind after combustion. Soot particles settle on every surface while airborne compounds soak into porous materials like drywall, insulation, carpet, and upholstery. It is chemically active, which means it keeps damaging what it touches long after the flames are gone.
You need smoke damage restoration after any fire, however small. A kitchen flare-up, an overheated appliance, a furnace puffback, a fireplace backdraft, or heavy wildfire smoke pulled through an open window all leave the same problem behind. Damage often extends far past the room where the fire started.
Left alone, soot etches glass and permanently stains grout, paint, and plastic. Acidic residue corrodes metal fixtures, wiring, and electronics within days. Odor migrates deeper into building materials and your HVAC system, which is exactly why the smell returns weeks after surface cleaning.

If any of these sound familiar, the damage is still active.

Most soot damage becomes permanent inside 48 to 72 hours. Etched glass, corroded wiring, and stained grout cannot be cleaned back once the reaction finishes. Calling early is the difference between cleaning and replacing.

If smoke odor returns within 30 days of completion, we come back and re-treat at no cost to you. Written into every scope.
Photo logs, moisture readings, itemized scopes, and adjuster-ready reports. We handle the paperwork side so your claim moves without delays.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and describe what happened. We dispatch immediately and give you containment steps to follow before we arrive.
We map affected areas, test residue type, check ductwork, and identify hidden migration behind walls and cabinets. You get a written scope.
Soot removal, HVAC decontamination, contents treatment, then odor neutralization in sequence. Air scrubbers run throughout to control airborne particulate.
We re-inspect surfaces, confirm odor elimination, deliver your documentation package, and activate your 30-day odor-free guarantee.
Pricing
We quote in writing before work starts, and the number does not move mid-project. No surprise line items.
Cost depends on four things: the square footage affected, residue type (protein and fuel oil residue take more labor than dry soot), whether HVAC decontamination is required, and how many contents need off-site treatment.
Typical single-room smoke damage restoration runs $1,200 to $3,500. Multi-room or whole-home jobs with duct decontamination and contents restoration generally fall between $4,000 and $12,000. Most smoke damage is a covered peril, and we bill insurance directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
We dispatch 24/7 and are typically on site within a few hours of your call, including weekends and holidays.
Most drywall is cleanable and sealable. Replacement is only necessary when residue has fully saturated the material or wet cleaning compromised it.
Almost always untreated ductwork or porous materials. Surface cleaning alone leaves odor sources active, which is why professional deodorization matters.
Ozone is stronger but requires an unoccupied sealed space. Hydroxyl is safer and can run while you remain in the property.
Yes. We document everything to carrier standards, bill directly, and communicate with adjusters throughout the claim.
Yes, when firefighting water was involved. If we detect moisture, our mold remediation service covers containment and removal so you don't end up with a second problem after the smoke work finishes.
Single rooms usually finish in one to three days. Whole-home restoration with contents and duct work typically runs one to two weeks.
