Why Homeowners Call Us for Fire Damage Cleanup
Clearing a burned room is not a job for a rented shop vac and a free afternoon. Wet ash burns skin, waterlogged drywall weighs a ton, and every bag that leaves the house is part of your insurance file. Here is what you get when you dial our line.
Licensed & Insured Independent Pros
The contractors in our network are independent, licensed and insured local businesses, not guys with a pickup and a flyer. Before anyone swings a flat bar, ask for proof of license and a certificate of insurance, and ask whether they follow IICRC S700 guidance for fire and smoke work.
A Written Estimate Before Tear-Out
No one should be pulling cabinets off your wall on a verbal number. The contractor walks the loss, measures square feet of drywall and carpet, counts linear feet of base cabinet and estimates dumpster loads. Ask for a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, then forward it to your adjuster.
Rapid Local Dispatch
The line is answered 24/7, and dispatch starts while you are still on the phone. We reach for crews working near Enigma first. Arrival depends on crew availability and distance, and it is often the same day.
The Right Gear for a Burned Room
Fire cleanup is filthy, hazardous work, and the gear shows it. Expect half-face or full-face respirators with P100 cartridges, Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves, HEPA vacuums, negative air machines, 6-mil poly sheeting with zipper doors, flat bars, and heavy contractor bags rated for nails and broken glass.
Wait until the fire department releases the house and the utility confirms the power is safe before anyone starts clearing. Wet ash is alkaline enough to irritate skin and eyes, so keep kids and pets out of the burned rooms.
Dedicated Fire Damage Cleanup Solutions
The job comes down to this: remove what is ruined, save what can be cleaned, and leave a room that no longer reeks of smoke. These are the jobs the independent crews in our network handle most.
Most of the cost on a cleanup job comes from labor and disposal, so a crew that sorts carefully saves you real money on the claim. A pile of cabinet doors that only needed a degreaser wash should never end up in the dumpster. Ask the contractor to walk you through what stays and what goes before the first bag is filled.
Debris and Ash Removal
The crew bags wet ash, fallen ceiling board, burned furniture and charred trim, then moves it out along a protected route.
- Roll-off dumpster sized to the job (10, 20 or 30 yard)
- Plywood under the dumpster to protect the driveway
- Floor runners from the burned room to the door
Selective Demolition
Charred and soaked drywall gets cut back to a clean line, typically at the nearest stud or seam. Insulation, carpet and pad, vinyl plank and ruined base cabinets come out with it.
- Cut lines measured and photographed
- Electrical left untouched for the electrician
- Fasteners pulled so the framing is ready to inspect
Salvage Sorting and Photo Records
Every item is sorted into keep and toss piles and photographed before it leaves the house. Ask for wide shots of each room, close-ups with a tape measure for scale, and a written list your adjuster can match to the photos.
- Carpet and pad samples held until the adjuster signs off
- Brand and model labels photographed on appliances
- Disposal receipts kept for the file
Poly Walls, HEPA Vacuuming and Wipe-Down
The work area is sealed with 6-mil poly and a zipper door, and a negative air machine pulls ash away from the rooms you still use. Dry ash comes off with a HEPA vacuum before anything gets wet, then a chemical sponge and a damp wipe, always working from ceiling down to floor.
Kitchen Grease Fire Cleanup
A grease fire leaves a sticky, brown film that smears if you touch it, plus a charred range hood and the upper cabinets right above the stove. Crews pull the burned uppers, haul out ruined appliances and spoiled food, and degrease what stays.
- Hood and duct checked for grease buildup
- Pantry and fridge contents photographed and bagged
Garage Fire Cleanup
A garage fire mixes melted plastic and burned tools with gas cans, paint, pool chemicals and sometimes a ruined car. Hazardous containers are pulled aside for proper disposal, and any vehicle stays put until the auto adjuster has seen it.
- Tools photographed for the contents claim
- Slab swept and HEPA vacuumed when cleared

Assessment and Written Quote

What Enigma Callers Told Us Afterward
We follow up after every dispatch, and these are a few of the notes we got back.
The pan caught, the hood went up, and by the time it was out the uppers were black and the whole kitchen was sticky. The crew pulled the uppers, bagged the pantry and degreased everything else. They saved the lower cabinets, which made the adjuster happy.
After a bedroom fire in one of my rentals, the unit was a black, wet mess. The crew photographed every piece of furniture before it went out and gave me a list my insurer accepted without a single question. Three days later it was bare studs and a clean slab.
The garage fire left melted tools, bulging paint cans and pool chemicals all over the floor. They kept the chemicals out of the dumpster and did not touch the car until our auto insurer had looked at it.
Hose water had soaked the carpet and pad, and the smell was in every room. The crew hung plastic, set up an air scrubber and had the carpet and pad out that afternoon. The written estimate matched the final bill.
Fire Damage Cleanup Questions We Hear Every Week
Should I throw out burned things before the adjuster sees them?
Hold off. Take photos of everything and keep the damaged items until your adjuster releases them. If something is a safety hazard or spoiling, like food or wet mattresses, photograph it with a tape measure in the shot and note the brand, then let the crew remove it. Keep a small cut sample of carpet and pad as proof of quality.
How big a dumpster does a fire cleanup usually need?
One bedroom typically fits in a 10 or 20 yard container, but a kitchen with cabinets, appliances and wet drywall usually calls for a 20 or 30 yard. Soaked drywall and plaster add weight fast, and most dumpsters carry a tonnage cap. Ask the contractor to list dumpster size and expected loads on the written estimate.
Why do crews cut the drywall higher than the burn marks?
Two reasons: water and smoke. Fire hose water climbs the gypsum above the visible stain, and smoke gets into the paper and the wall cavity. Crews check with a moisture meter and cut to a clean line at a stud or seam so the patch is easy to hang later.
Is it safe to stay in the house while the tear-out is happening?
It depends on how much of the house burned and whether the power and HVAC are safe to run. A single-room job with proper poly walls and negative air often lets a family keep using the rest of the house. Leave the system off until someone inspects the ducts, and talk it through with the crew lead.
What happens to paint cans and chemicals after a garage fire?
Those containers do not belong in the dumpster. Fire-stressed fuel, paint, solvent, chlorine and pesticide containers can leak or react, so the crew isolates them for a hazardous waste drop-off or licensed hauler. Ask how the contractor plans to handle them before work starts.
Will my insurance pay for debris removal and tear-out?
Many policies cover debris removal under dwelling coverage, though each policy sets its own limits, so check with your agent. The thing that moves a claim along is good paperwork: photos, an itemized list, measurements and a line-item estimate. You decide what to sign and how the claim is handled.
