Who We Are

A Licensed Columbus Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

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

Because our crews work 55025 regularly, they already understand which Columbus permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

Homeowners, landlords, and Columbus, MN adjusters trust our paperwork because it's consistent: photo logs, moisture readings, and a written scope on every single Columbus job.

Licensed & Insured

Full coverage on every job we run in Columbus, MN.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

Every Columbus job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Columbus Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

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

Columbus, MN insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Columbus properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Core Services

The Full Fire Damage Removal Scope We Run In Columbus, Start To Finish

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Columbus loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

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

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Columbus permitting.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
