Fire damage restoration requires an immediate, coordinated response — smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, water extraction from firefighting efforts, and full structural rebuild. Our IICRC-certified team responds 24/7 and manages every phase under one roof, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Our IICRC-certified team responds fast across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County — with board-up, water extraction, smoke and soot removal, and full odor elimination.
📞 Call (877) 557-4005Fire damage restoration in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County has to move fast on two fronts at once: the fire damage itself, and the water damage left behind from putting it out. Smoke and soot spread into materials within minutes, and standing firefighting water can cause secondary damage and mold growth if it isn't extracted quickly. Our expert team provides full smoke and soot cleanup, odor removal, emergency board-up and tarping, and complete disaster recovery across all three counties, all under Water Floods Restoration.

Your safety comes first. Do not re-enter your property until the fire department has officially cleared it — smoke-weakened structures, live electrical hazards, and lingering carbon monoxide can all be present even after flames are out. Once you're cleared to return, call WFR immediately. Our team secures the property, coordinates directly with your insurance company, and begins mitigation before smoke and soot have a chance to cause further damage.
Smoke and soot behave differently depending on what burned and how hot the fire was. Protein fires from cooking leave a nearly invisible residue with a strong odor, while dense smoke from synthetic materials leaves thick, acidic soot that etches into surfaces the longer it sits. Our team identifies the type of residue on your property and applies the correct cleaning method for each surface — walls, ceilings, flooring, HVAC systems, and personal belongings.
Soot is acidic and corrosive. Left untreated, it continues to damage metals, plastics, and fabrics for weeks after the fire — which is why timing matters as much as technique. We use HEPA vacuuming, dry chemical sponges, and specialized cleaning agents suited to each surface type, following IICRC fire and smoke restoration standards on every job.
Smoke odor doesn't sit on the surface — it embeds itself into drywall, insulation, fabric, and wood, which is why masking it with air fresheners never actually works. Complete odor removal requires reaching the source of the smell, not covering it up. Our team uses thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators depending on the severity and the materials affected, paired with deep cleaning of soft goods, carpeting, and upholstery.
We test the air before closing out a fire damage restoration job — not just so it smells clean, but so it's actually safe to breathe. This step is especially important before children, elderly family members, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities move back in.
Most fire damage jobs are also water damage jobs. Extinguishing a structure fire can mean hundreds or thousands of gallons of water soaking into floors, walls, and ceilings — and if that water isn't extracted and dried properly within 24 to 48 hours, mold growth becomes the next problem on top of the fire damage. This is where WFR's water damage restoration background becomes a real advantage: we're not just handling smoke and soot, we're equipped to extract standing water, run infrared moisture detection, and dry the structure completely as part of the same job.
A fire often leaves a property open to the elements and to unauthorized entry — broken windows, burned-through roof sections, and damaged doors all need to be secured immediately. WFR provides emergency roof tarp installation and board-up services right after the fire is out, protecting your property from rain, wind, and vandalism while the restoration plan comes together.
For more extensive roof damage, we also offer shrink-wrap roof tarping — a stronger, longer-lasting alternative that holds up if a storm follows before permanent repairs are made. All board-up and tarping work is fully photographed and documented for your insurance claim.
Not everything affected by smoke and soot needs to be thrown away. Furniture, clothing, electronics, documents, and personal belongings can often be cleaned, deodorized, and restored rather than replaced. Our team inventories and packs out salvageable contents, cleans them off-site using specialized equipment, and stores them safely until your property is ready for move-back.
Every item is documented before pack-out — both for your peace of mind and for your insurance claim, so nothing gets lost in the process.
Fire damage restoration is rarely just about smoke and soot — it almost always involves water damage from firefighting efforts too, and a restoration company that only handles one half of that equation leaves you coordinating two separate contractors. WFR has been restoring fire- and water-damaged properties across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County since 2003, with certifications covering both sides of the job under one team.
We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage restoration across all three South Florida counties, dispatched from our Hollywood, FL office for rapid tri-county response. Dedicated county hotlines ensure the nearest available team is dispatched to your property immediately.

From the moment we arrive, every step is designed to secure your property, remove smoke and soot, extract firefighting water, eliminate odor, and fully restore your Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County property to its pre-loss condition.
Once the fire department clears your property, our certified team responds immediately across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County to begin securing and assessing the damage.
Broken windows, damaged doors, and compromised roof sections are boarded and tarped immediately to protect the property from weather and unauthorized entry.
Standing water from suppression efforts is extracted with high-powered pumps, and infrared imaging confirms no hidden moisture remains behind walls or under flooring.
We identify the soot type on each surface and apply the correct cleaning method for walls, ceilings, flooring, HVAC systems, and fixtures.
Thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generators are used depending on severity, reaching odor embedded in drywall, insulation, and fabric — not just masking it.
Salvageable furniture, electronics, and belongings are inventoried, packed out, cleaned off-site, and stored safely until your property is ready.
Every step is documented — photos, moisture readings, and an itemized Xactimate scope of work — so your adjuster has everything needed to process your claim.
Once the property is fully dry, deodorized, and cleaned, we manage repairs and reconstruction under one certified team, from minor fixes to full-scale rebuilds.
When fire damages your home or business in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County, you need one certified team that handles smoke, soot, firefighting water, and reconstruction together, not separate contractors for each piece.

Call (877) 557-4005Everything homeowners and businesses in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County ask before calling us after a fire — answered.
Our fire damage restoration teams are on call 24/7 — including weekends, holidays, and immediately after the fire department clears your property. Every hour the property sits open increases the risk of further smoke and soot damage, weather intrusion, and secondary water damage from firefighting efforts, so we prioritize getting certified technicians on-site as quickly as possible.
We have dedicated county hotlines to dispatch the nearest available team immediately: Miami-Dade (305) 967-7509, Broward (954) 380-8655, and Palm Beach (561) 771-9512.

Smoke damage refers to the odor and airborne residue that spreads through a property during a fire, while soot is the acidic, corrosive particulate that settles on and etches into surfaces the longer it sits. Protein fires from cooking leave a nearly invisible residue with a strong odor, while dense smoke from synthetic materials leaves thick, acidic soot.
Both require different cleaning approaches, which is why we identify the type of residue on your property — wet smoke, dry smoke, protein, or fuel oil — before cleanup begins.
Yes, in most cases. Smoke odor doesn't sit on the surface — it embeds itself into drywall, insulation, fabric, and wood, which is why masking it with air fresheners never actually works. Complete removal requires thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generation depending on severity, paired with deep cleaning of soft goods, carpeting, and upholstery.
We test the air before closing out a job — not just so it smells clean, but so it's actually safe to breathe, especially before children, elderly family members, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities move back in.
Yes. Most fire damage jobs are also water damage jobs — extinguishing a structure fire can mean hundreds or thousands of gallons of water soaking into floors, walls, and ceilings. Firefighting water extraction, infrared moisture detection, and structural drying are built into every fire damage restoration job we handle, since untreated water left behind after a fire leads to mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
This is where our water damage restoration background becomes a real advantage — we're equipped to catch and dry out the water damage that fire-only companies often miss.
Most homeowners and commercial policies cover sudden, accidental fire damage, including smoke, soot, and the water damage from firefighting efforts, though coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the fire. We coordinate directly with your insurer and provide Xactimate-formatted documentation to support your claim.
Cost depends on the extent of the fire, smoke, and water damage, and the size of the property. WFR provides a free on-site assessment and a complete Xactimate-formatted estimate before any work begins, so you know what to expect before committing.
