What We Do — Full-Service Fire Damage Restoration

We provide end-to-end restoration — from emergency response to full recovery.
Our team handles not only fire cleanup and restoration,
but also water damage restoration after firefighting and
mold cleanup and remediation to prevent future issues.

Our Proven Fire Damage Restoration Process

Fire Damage Cleanup

We remove debris, charred materials, and damaged surfaces to prepare your property for safe restoration. Every job begins with a detailed assessment and photo documentation for insurance.

Smoke & Odor Removal

Lingering smoke odors and soot can spread fast through HVAC systems. We use HEPA air scrubbers, ozone treatment, and thermal fogging to neutralize odor — not just mask it.

Soot Removal & Surface Restoration

Our specialists clean walls, ceilings, furniture, and vents using specialized tools and pH-balanced agents to prevent staining and secondary contamination.

Water Extraction & Drying

Firefighting often leaves behind water damage. We perform full water extraction and dehumidification to prevent mold growth and structural issues.

Insurance Support

We document every step and coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster.
Learn more about how we simplify the process on our insurance support page.

We just had a sewer back up that made our house uninhabitable. We were connected to Project manager Jade Puia who came right out and did a quick evaluation of our situation and handled all the details professionally, getting the resources lined up to remediate the problem. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and gave us great confidence that the issues will be resolved soon! Thanks for reassuring this very stressed out homeowner!

They were recommended by our plumber after a clogged sewer line with it backing up and emptying out into our backyard through a vent in the foundation. They cleaned up the mess outside beautifully, and cleaned, disinfected, and dried out the basement from having the plumber in. The crew that came in were friendly, did everything quickly and professionally. Dan was amazing to work with, he was very responsive and helped us with everything, down to dealing with our homeowners insurance. I cannot reccomend Kraus enough, they definitely made the whole process so much easier! Thank you so much, if we ever have another issue we will be calling!
