Who We Are

Why Earlham Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

Every technician on our Earlham roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Because our crews work 50072 regularly, they already understand which Earlham permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Earlham scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

We also keep a running photo log for every Earlham job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Earlham Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Earlham, IA fire claims get partially denied.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Earlham

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Earlham jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Structural Rebuild

We rebuild to Earlham, IA code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Earlham property is under repair.
