Why Homeowners Call Us for Fire Damage Cleanup
Clearing a burned room is not a job for a rented shop vac and a free afternoon. Wet ash is caustic, the drywall is heavy and full of nails, and every bag you carry out is a piece of evidence for your claim. Here is what you get when you dial our line.
Licensed & Insured Independent Pros
Every crew we refer is an independent, licensed and insured contractor, not a day-labor outfit with a pickup. Before anyone swings a flat bar, ask for proof of license and a certificate of insurance, and ask whether they follow IICRC S700 guidance for fire and smoke work.
A Written Estimate Before Tear-Out
Nobody should start ripping out cabinets on a handshake. The contractor walks the loss, measures square feet of drywall and carpet, counts linear feet of base cabinet and estimates dumpster loads. You get a written, line-item estimate before work starts, and you can send a copy straight to your adjuster.
Rapid Local Dispatch
Someone picks up at any hour, and the dispatch process begins during that first call. Our dispatchers look for crews already working close to Naranja. Arrival depends on crew availability and distance, and it is often the same day.
The Right Gear for a Burned Room
A burned room calls for real protective and containment equipment. Expect half-face or full-face respirators with P100 cartridges, Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves, HEPA vacuums, negative air machines, 6-mil poly sheeting with zipper doors, flat bars, and heavy contractor bags rated for nails and broken glass.
Do not start shoveling before the fire marshal releases the property and the power company confirms the service is safe. Wet ash is alkaline enough to irritate skin and eyes, so keep kids and pets out of the burned rooms.
Dedicated Fire Damage Cleanup Solutions
The job comes down to this: remove what is ruined, save what can be cleaned, and leave a room that no longer reeks of smoke. These are the jobs the independent crews in our network handle most.
Labor and dump fees drive most of the bill, which is why a careful sort at the start can save a lot on the claim. A pile of cabinet doors that only needed a degreaser wash should never end up in the dumpster. Ask the contractor to walk you through what stays and what goes before the first bag is filled.
Debris and Ash Removal
The crew bags wet ash, fallen ceiling board, burned furniture and charred trim, then moves it out along a protected route.
- Roll-off dumpster sized to the job (10, 20 or 30 yard)
- Plywood under the dumpster to protect the driveway
- Floor runners from the burned room to the door
Selective Demolition
Charred and soaked drywall gets cut back to a clean line, typically at the nearest stud or seam. Insulation, carpet and pad, vinyl plank and ruined base cabinets come out with it.
- Cut lines measured and photographed
- Electrical left untouched for the electrician
- Fasteners pulled so the framing is ready to inspect
Salvage Sorting and Photo Records
Before anything goes in the dumpster, items are split into salvageable and non-salvageable piles and photographed. Ask for wide shots of each room, close-ups with a tape measure for scale, and a written list your adjuster can match to the photos.
- Carpet and pad samples held until the adjuster signs off
- Brand and model labels photographed on appliances
- Disposal receipts kept for the file
Poly Walls, HEPA Vacuuming and Wipe-Down
The work area is sealed with 6-mil poly and a zipper door, and a negative air machine pulls ash away from the rooms you still use. Loose ash is HEPA vacuumed first, because wiping dry soot just smears it, then surfaces get a dry chemical sponge and a damp wipe, ceiling first and floor last.
Kitchen Grease Fire Cleanup
Grease fires coat the kitchen in a tacky brown residue and usually wreck the range hood and the uppers over the stove. The contractor removes charred upper cabinets, ruined appliances and spoiled food, then degreases every surface that is staying.
- Hood and duct checked for grease buildup
- Pantry and fridge contents photographed and bagged
Garage Fire Cleanup
A garage fire mixes melted plastic and burned tools with gas cans, paint, pool chemicals and sometimes a ruined car. Chemicals are separated and sent to a household hazardous waste facility, not thrown in the dumpster, and the vehicle is left for your auto insurer to inspect and tow.
- Tools photographed for the contents claim
- Slab swept and HEPA vacuumed when cleared

What Naranja Callers Told Us Afterward
We follow up after every dispatch, and these are a few of the notes we got back.
The pan caught, the hood went up, and by the time it was out the uppers were black and the whole kitchen was sticky. The crew pulled the uppers, bagged the pantry and degreased everything else. The lower cabinets were saved, which my adjuster was glad to see.
After a bedroom fire in one of my rentals, the unit was a black, wet mess. The crew photographed every piece of furniture before it went out and gave me a list my insurer accepted without a single question. Three days later it was bare studs and a clean slab.
Our garage fire melted my husband's entire tool wall and left paint cans and pool chlorine everywhere. The crew set the chemicals aside for hazardous disposal instead of tossing them, and they left the car alone until the auto adjuster came.
Hose water had soaked the carpet and pad, and the smell was in every room. They sealed the room off with plastic, ran an air machine and pulled the carpet and pad the same afternoon. The written estimate matched the final bill.
Fire Damage Cleanup Questions We Hear Every Week
Should I throw out burned things before the adjuster sees them?
No. Photograph everything first and keep it until the adjuster says it can go. If something is a safety hazard or spoiling, like food or wet mattresses, photograph it with a tape measure in the shot and note the brand, then let the crew remove it. A small square of carpet and pad saved in a bag proves the grade you had.
How big a dumpster does a fire cleanup usually need?
A single burned bedroom often fits in a 10 or 20 yard roll-off, while a kitchen fire with cabinets, appliances and wet drywall usually needs a 20 or 30 yard. Wet drywall and plaster are heavy, so weight limits matter as much as volume. Ask the contractor to list dumpster size and expected loads on the written estimate.
Why do crews cut the drywall higher than the burn marks?
Two reasons: water and smoke. Fire hose water climbs the gypsum above the visible stain, and smoke gets into the paper and the wall cavity. A moisture meter shows where the wet stops, and the cut is made at a stud or seam so new board goes up cleanly.
Is it safe to stay in the house while the tear-out is happening?
It depends on how much of the house burned and whether the power and HVAC are safe to run. A single-room job with proper poly walls and negative air often lets a family keep using the rest of the house. Keep the HVAC off until the ducts have been checked, and ask the crew lead before you decide.
What happens to paint cans and chemicals after a garage fire?
Those containers do not belong in the dumpster. Heat-damaged gas cans, paint, solvents, pool chlorine and pesticides can leak, react or flare, so crews separate them and send them to a household hazardous waste site or a licensed hauler. Ask the contractor to explain their disposal plan up front.
Will my insurance pay for debris removal and tear-out?
Many policies cover debris removal under dwelling coverage, though each policy sets its own limits, so check with your agent. The thing that moves a claim along is good paperwork: photos, an itemized list, measurements and a line-item estimate. You decide what to sign and how the claim is handled.
