Residential Fire Damage Restoration Services in Jenison, MI

Getting your home back after fire damage

House fires leave more than just burned walls and smoke damage. Your furniture smells like smoke. Water from firefighting soaks into floors. Soot covers everything the flames didn't touch.

The problems don't stop when the fire department leaves. Smoke works its way deeper into carpets and walls. Standing water creates mold risks. Insurance paperwork piles up while you're trying to figure out what can be saved.

Common Causes of House Fires

Most house fires start from everyday activities and household items that families use without thinking twice about safety.

• Cooking accidents and kitchen fires
• Electrical problems and overloaded outlets
• Space heaters placed too close to furniture
• Candles left unattended
• Faulty wiring in older homes
• Dryer lint buildup
• Fireplaces and wood stoves
• Extension cords and damaged electrical cords
• Smoking materials
• Christmas trees and holiday decorations

Kitchen fires top the list. Unattended cooking, grease fires, and appliance malfunctions cause more house fires than anything else.

Electrical issues come second. Older homes in Jenison with outdated wiring face higher risks, especially when outlets get overloaded with modern electronics.

Simple Fire Prevention Tip! Install smoke detectors on every floor. Check them twice a year. Keep space heaters three feet away from anything that can burn. Never leave cooking unattended. Have your electrical system inspected if your home is over 20 years old.

Most house fires are preventable — but when they happen, fast restoration saves more of what matters to your family.

House fires create chaos. Smoke everywhere, water damage from firefighting, and belongings scattered by emergency crews. Our process brings order back to the mess and saves what can be saved.

Here's How We Restore Your Home:

5. Water extraction and structural drying
6. Content cleaning and pack-out services
7. Odor elimination throughout the home
8. Structural repairs and reconstruction
9. Final cleaning and move-in preparation

We work in phases. Secure the house first, then tackle smoke damage before it gets worse. Water extraction prevents mold problems.

Content restoration means sorting through everything. Some items get special cleaning offsite. Others can't be saved.

Rebuilding happens last, with proper permits and inspections.
