Exactly What Our Fire Damage Restoration Includes

Fire damage cleanup is only part of the job. A complete recovery addresses smoke, soot, water, odor, structural damage, and the rebuild that follows.

• Emergency board-up services to secure damaged windows, walls, and rooftops
• Structural drying using air scrubbers, air movers, and dehumidifiers
• Smoke damage restoration for walls, ceilings, and hidden surfaces
• Soot removal services across every affected area, inside and out
• Odor removal that neutralizes smoke odor at its source
• Debris removal to clear hazards safely
• Contents cleaning for clothing, furniture, and personal items
• Reconstruction to return your property to pre-loss condition

Cleanup Only vs. Full Restoration and Reconstruction

Many companies extract the water, remove the soot, then hand you off to a separate builder. That gap creates delays, mixed messages, and longer displacement. We handle the entire recovery ourselves.

Working With Your Insurance Company

Filing a fire claim shouldn’t feel like a second disaster. We liaise with your insurance carrier on your behalf, document the damage thoroughly, and meet the adjuster to explain the loss accurately.

This coordination supports a smoother, stronger claim and lifts the paperwork burden off your shoulders. You focus on your family or your business while we handle the details and keep you informed at every stage.

What to Do Right After a Fire

Your safety comes first. Follow these steps while help is on the way.

1. Get out, stay out, and call 911. Move everyone, including pets, a safe distance away.
2. Call Exact Recon at (517) 262-3770. We coordinate with responders and your insurer, then secure the property.
3. Find safe short-term housing. Smoke, fumes, and water often make a structure unsafe. The American Red Cross disaster relief services can help with immediate needs.
4. Protect important documents. Plan to replace IDs, passports, and insurance policies.
5. Leave utilities to professionals. Never disconnect electricity, gas, or water yourself.
6. Keep receipts. Save records of meals, lodging, and living expenses for your claim.
