Georgia's fire losses concentrate in cooking and heating equipment, with a rural and small town housing stock that includes a lot of supplemental heat through the cold months. Kitchen fires are the single most common call we take here.

Emberline Restoration treats protein fires as whole structure jobs across the state. Burned cooking oil leaves an amber residue that is nearly invisible, coats surfaces two rooms away, and produces the worst odor of any residue type. Owners routinely wipe the visible area and call us three weeks later about the smell.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about fire damage restoration

Common questions about fire and smoke damage in Georgia

Talk to a real person

Why does my house still smell after it was cleaned?

Almost always the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point, the system pulled smoke in and pushed it through the building, and it keeps redistributing odor every time it cycles. The rooms get cleaned and the system feeding them does not.

Will painting over the smell work?

Not on its own. Odor is particulate driven into porous material by heat and pressure, so paint traps it briefly and it returns on the first humid day. Source removal and cleaning come first, then a shellac based sealing primer where framing has absorbed odor, then finish.

Do you handle the insurance side?

We document it properly, which is the part that decides claims. Photographs before anything moves, residue type and affected areas by room, equipment logs, and a written scope. We bill many carriers directly. We will not tell you your claim is covered, because that depends on your policy.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

Sometimes, depending on the extent and whether containment can separate the work area from where you live. Ozone treatment rules that out entirely for the duration. Hydroxyl generators are the occupied space alternative and we use those where people are staying.

How long does the whole job take?

A contained single room fire with light smoke can be days. A structure fire with heavy soot, contents pack out and duct cleaning runs weeks. We give you a scope and a sequence up front rather than an open ended job, and we tell you which parts have to happen before others.
