North Carolina's fire causes run to heating equipment and cooking, across a housing stock that spans coastal, Piedmont and mountain construction. Wood stoves carry more of the winter in the west than they do elsewhere in the state.

Emberline Restoration works statewide. Crawl space construction changes how suppression water behaves after a fire: it collects underneath rather than draining away, and a crawl space holding water under a smoke damaged house is a mold problem within days.

Frequently asked questions about fire damage restoration

Common questions about fire and smoke damage in North Carolina

Talk to a real person

How fast do I need to start fire cleanup in North Carolina?

Within days, not weeks. Soot is acidic and begins etching chrome, brass, aluminum and polished stone almost immediately. A fire that damaged two rooms can cost you fixtures throughout the building if the residue sits through a weekend. Call (888) 773-0161 and we will get someone out.

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.

My furnace puffed back and there was no fire. Is that the same thing?

The cleanup is very similar. A puffback pushes oily soot through every duct run in the building, so the contamination is widespread even though nothing burned. Have the furnace serviced before it runs again, because a unit that puffed back once will do it again.

Is the water damage covered too?

Suppression water is generally handled as part of the same fire claim rather than as a separate water claim, though policies vary. What matters practically is that drying and soot cleanup run together, since water sitting in a soot loaded building grows mold within a couple of days.

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.
