Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Arlington area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Arlington, TN insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
