Fire is one of the most destructive disasters we face. No matter how a fire starts in your home, the only thing that matters is everyone you hold dear makes it out alive. A fire is one of the most traumatizing scenarios a household could face. Worse yet, it has the potential to destroy or cause long-term damage to a property and be detrimental to its contents.
Even small fires can cause extensive hidden damage throughout your property. Persistent smoke smell throughout the property, even after cleaning; Dark staining on walls, ceilings, or belongings from smoke and soot; Water damage from firefighting efforts requires immediate drying; Electrical systems affected by heat, smoke, or water exposure; Weakened structural elements, damaged drywall, compromised flooring, all these are the dangerous effects of a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do immediately after a fire?
First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the scene. Contact your insurance company to report the claim, then call Oak Bridge for emergency stabilization services. Do not enter the property until it's deemed safe, and take photos of damage for insurance documentation.
How long does fire restoration take?
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential fire restorations take 4-12 weeks from start to finish. Emergency cleanup and stabilization typically begin within hours, while reconstruction timing depends on permits, insurance approval, and the scope of rebuilding required.
What does insurance typically cover for fire damage?
Most homeowner policies cover fire damage, including structural repairs, content replacement, and additional living expenses. However, initial estimates often miss items that become apparent during restoration. We help navigate the claims process and identify all covered damages.
Can smoke damage affect the entire house?
Yes, smoke and soot can travel throughout a property, affecting areas far from the actual fire. Professional assessment is crucial in order to identify all affected areas, including HVAC systems, insulation, and contents that may need cleaning or replacement.
Should I try to clean smoke damage myself?
Professional restoration is recommended for fire and smoke damage. Improper cleaning can actually set stains permanently, and smoke particles can pose health risks. Professional equipment and techniques ensure thorough cleaning and proper air quality restoration.
Do you handle both cleaning and reconstruction?
Yes, ACI provides complete fire restoration services from emergency cleanup through final reconstruction. This eliminates coordination between multiple contractors and ensures consistent quality throughout your restoration project.

We provide professional content inventory, removal, and storage services. Salvageable items receive specialized cleaning and restoration at our facility. Items that cannot be restored are documented for insurance replacement claims.
How do you handle insurance claims?
Our team works directly with your insurance adjuster throughout the process. We provide detailed documentation, help identify all covered damages, and often secure additional coverage for items missed in initial estimates, sometimes adding tens of thousands to settlements.
