Wisconsin runs a long heating season, and heating equipment is the dominant residential fire cause. Supplemental heaters through cold snaps, furnaces that fail mid winter, and chimney fires following heavy wood stove use are the recurring pattern.

Emberline Restoration works around the cold statewide. Deodorization slows at low temperatures and thermal fogging needs a heated space, so a January loss follows a different sequence than the same job in summer. We plan that up front rather than adjusting on site.

Why choose us for fire damage restoration

Why Wisconsin Owners Call Us First

Wisconsin winter losses get planned around the temperature. Deodorization slows in the cold and thermal fogging needs a heated space, so a January job runs in a different order than the same work in July, and we state that sequence before starting.

Heating equipment losses begin with the mechanical system, since the ductwork had already distributed the residue through the house before anyone noticed a smell.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about fire damage restoration

Common questions about fire and smoke damage in Wisconsin

Talk to a real person

Can I go back in and start cleaning myself?

We would rather you did not, and not only for safety. Wiping soot with a damp cloth drives it into porous surfaces and turns a cleanable wall into a replaceable one. Dry soot and wet soot need opposite methods, and getting it wrong is usually permanent.

Why does my house still smell after it was cleaned?

Almost always the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point, the system pulled smoke in and pushed it through the building, and it keeps redistributing odor every time it cycles. The rooms get cleaned and the system feeding them does not.

Will painting over the smell work?

Not on its own. Odor is particulate driven into porous material by heat and pressure, so paint traps it briefly and it returns on the first humid day. Source removal and cleaning come first, then a shellac based sealing primer where framing has absorbed odor, then finish.

Do you work on commercial buildings?

Yes, and we phase it so parts of the building reopen while the heavily affected zones stay under containment. Offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and multi-unit residential. Restaurant work includes hood and grease duct systems. Call (888) 773-0161.

How long does the whole job take?

A contained single room fire with light smoke can be days. A structure fire with heavy soot, contents pack out and duct cleaning runs weeks. We give you a scope and a sequence up front rather than an open ended job, and we tell you which parts have to happen before others.
