The Smoke May Be Out, But It Sticks Around
Once the fire trucks leave, it might seem like the worst is over. But long after the flames are out, smoke has a way of lingering—clinging to furniture, creeping into air ducts, and settling into surfaces. In Germantown’s humid climate, that odor doesn’t just hang in the air—it soaks in.
Our team uses advanced cleaning systems to neutralize and remove smoke particles that homeowners can’t reach on their own. We don’t just mask the smell—we eliminate it. We also clean HVAC systems, attics, and crawlspaces to make sure no trace of smoke continues to circulate through your home.
Why DIY Cleanup Can Actually Make Things Worse
It’s natural to want to roll up your sleeves and start cleaning right away. But with fire damage, the wrong approach can backfire. Household cleaners may react with soot or residue in ways that cause permanent staining or push contaminants deeper into wood and fabric.
What looks like a simple wipe-down job can actually require specialized tools and chemical knowledge. At ServiceMaster Restoration by Cornerstone, we use restoration-grade equipment that safely removes soot without causing more harm. Even a small grease fire in your Germantown kitchen can leave behind corrosive residue—and that’s not something to tackle with a sponge and hope.
Speed Matters—But So Does Precision
Fire damage restoration isn’t a race, but it is time-sensitive. The longer soot and water sit, the more they damage your structure and belongings. But rushing without a plan can be just as harmful. That’s why our team prioritizes both fast response and detailed inspection.
From the moment you call us, we map out the full extent of the damage—seen and unseen. We tailor the process based on what your home is made of, the type of fire involved, and what can be saved. That means fewer mistakes, less disruption, and better outcomes in the long run.
Local to Germantown, Loyal to You
There’s a big difference between hiring a national brand and working with a team that actually knows your neighborhood. At ServiceMaster Restoration by Cornerstone, we live and work in the same region you do. That gives us the edge when it comes to knowing local building materials, weather patterns, and even insurance policies common in the area.
Whether your home is near Riverdale Park or tucked into a cul-de-sac off Poplar Pike, we approach your fire restoration project with local knowledge and long-standing relationships that national providers just can’t replicate.
Smoke, Soot, and Structural Damage? We Can Help.
Our certified Germantown team is ready to restore your home or business after a fire.
Not All Fires Are the Same—And Neither Is the Cleanup
A candle that tips over in your living room doesn’t leave behind the same damage as an electrical fire in your garage or a stovetop blaze in your kitchen. That’s why cookie-cutter cleanup plans won’t cut it.
Different materials burn differently. Plastics leave behind oily residue. Protein fires (like burned meat) smell particularly foul and cling to every surface. Our technicians are trained to identify the specific type of fire you experienced so they can apply the right cleaning agents, processes, and odor treatments for your exact situation.
What Happens to Your Stuff?
After the fire is out and the structure is secure, most homeowners ask the same question: “What about our things?” We get it—your home isn’t just made of walls and windows. It’s family photos, furniture, heirlooms, and electronics. That’s why we include content cleaning and restoration as part of our services.
We’ll help you determine what’s salvageable, what can be cleaned, and what might need to be replaced. If needed, we offer pack-out services to safely remove and store your belongings while your home is being restored. You’ll always know where things are, what condition they’re in, and what steps we’re taking to preserve them.
Your Insurance Adjuster Isn’t a Mind Reader
Dealing with insurance after a fire is confusing—and the stakes are high. Your policy may cover more than you think, but only if the damage is properly documented. That’s where we come in.
ServiceMaster Restoration by Cornerstone works directly with homeowners and their insurance companies to make sure every aspect of the fire damage is accounted for. From photographs and itemized lists to expert assessments and cost breakdowns, we handle the red tape so you can focus on getting your life back together.
