Why Knoxville calls us for fire and smoke damage cleanup
Same-day emergency response
Call us and we come the same day, because a person answers our phone at every hour, holidays included. You get a real arrival window on that first call.
We run the Knoxville corridor from Johnson City every week, and the drive is already part of our schedule. That is why we can commit to the window we quote you.
Free estimates, and nothing to sign for one
We come out, walk the building with you, and charge nothing for the visit, and you sign nothing to get it.
You keep the written estimate afterward whether you hire us or not, so you can take it to another contractor for a comparison.
We work for you, not your insurance carrier
You are the person who hires us, so your priorities set the scope of the work. We write up what the building needs, and we walk you through the reasoning behind every line.
You may be handed a list of preferred vendors. The choice of contractor stays yours. You see every line of the paperwork we send, and you can ask us about any of it.
A named person owns your job
One person from our team runs your job, from the first call to the last walkthrough. We give you that name on the first day, and you can reach them directly.
So you tell the story once instead of repeating it for each new person. Ask for your job owner and you reach the person who walked your building.
IICRC certified, licensed and insured in Tennessee
We are IICRC certified, and we are licensed and insured in Tennessee. Those are firm credentials, and you can check every one of them before you let anyone into your house.
We work to the IICRC standard on every fire job, and the certification belongs to the company. That means it covers whoever we send to your address.
Our fire damage restoration process in Knoxville, TN
Step 1. You call and reach a person
Call at any hour and a person picks up. We ask what burned, whether the fire department has released the building, and who is still going inside.
Then we dispatch a crew, and we tell you on that first call when the truck will reach your door. We reach your Knoxville address the same day you call.
Step 2. We secure the building
A burned building is open to the weather and to anyone walking past. We board up windows and doors, and we tarp the roof where the fire crew opened it.
We also close the openings the hoses and the ventilation left behind. Then we tell you which rooms are safe to walk back into.
Step 3. A free estimate, walked with you
We go through the property with you before any work starts, and the walkthrough costs you nothing. You sign nothing, and you are free to hire anyone you like afterward.
We scope the burn first, then we chase the smoke past where you can see it. We also scope the water the hoses left behind, so you get the worst case up front and a not-to-exceed number.
Step 4. Soot removal, cleaning and odor
Soot comes off in an order, dry methods first and wet methods second, because a damp cloth drives soot deeper into the surface. We put up containment and HEPA filtration where the job calls for it.
Anything the hoses soaked gets dried and metered while the cleaning runs. Odor treatment comes last, and we treat the material that holds the smell rather than mask it.
Step 5. Your paperwork and your invoice
You get 360-degree room scans, daily moisture and humidity logs, photographs and video, and that file is yours to keep.
Your invoice is priced from a current Xactimate list, so every line traces back to a task we performed. We go over the timeline with you before the last day, so you know when the work finishes.

Knoxville fire damage questions we answer most
The ones we get on almost every job.
How soon can you get to a Knoxville address?
A person answers our phone at every hour of every day, and Knoxville gets a same-day emergency response. Our base is Johnson City, so a Knoxville call is a corridor run for us. We give you a real arrival window on the first call. While the crew is on the road, we tell you how to secure the building and which rooms to leave alone. Call as soon as the fire department releases the property.
What causes most house fires in Knoxville?
Knoxville house fires start the way they start everywhere. Cooking, heating equipment, electrical faults and smoking material are the common ones. What changes here is how far the smoke travels afterward. Old North Knoxville is on the National Register as built around 1883 to 1940, and Fourth and Gill from 1880 to 1934. Frame houses of that era were commonly balloon framed. The wall studs run the full height of the house, open from the foundation to the attic. So the cavity behind your plaster acts like a chimney. It carries soot into upstairs rooms the fire itself left alone. Newer builds out toward Bearden, Hardin Valley and Farragut are tighter, and more of the residue lands in the ductwork. That is why we meter and inspect rooms that look untouched.
How much does fire damage restoration cost in Knoxville?
It depends on how far the smoke went, and you find that out by opening the walls. So we walk the building with you first, and the walkthrough costs you nothing. We scope the burn, then the smoke, then the water the hoses left behind. We bill mitigation against the IICRC standard and price it from a current Xactimate list. You get the worst case up front and a not-to-exceed number, so you know the ceiling before we start.
Do you bill insurance directly for a Knoxville fire loss?
Yes. When your loss is covered we invoice your carrier and ask them to pay us directly. You get the same invoice, so you can read every line. We send them the room scans, the daily logs and the photographs too. You file the paperwork yourself, because the policy belongs to you.
Do you work on rentals and commercial property in Knoxville?
We do, and rentals, student housing near the university, apartment buildings and small commercial spaces are all normal work for us. On a rental we usually talk with both the tenant and the owner, and the invoice follows whoever hired us. Tell us on the call who owns the building and who is on site, and we sort the rest out when we get there.
