Fire Damage Restoration in Edmond: Smoke, Soot and the Water Left Behind

Fires Here Don't Only Start in Kitchens

Cooking and heating fires happen everywhere, but Oklahoma storms add another cause. During the June 2026 derecho, Edmond's emergency management reported three structure fires started by lightning strikes in a single night.

The Water Damage Nobody Expects

Hoses deliver a lot of water in a short time. It runs through floors, down walls and into insulation and subfloors, often in rooms with little fire damage. Left alone, that water does as much harm as the smoke. We extract it, map the moisture and dry the structure the same way we would after a flood.

Our Fire Restoration Process

1. Secure the property: board up openings and tarp the roof if needed.
2. Remove water: extraction and drying of areas soaked during firefighting.
3. Clear debris: remove charred materials and items that can't be saved, with a photo record for your claim.
4. Clean soot and smoke residue: walls, ceilings, cabinets and contents, using methods matched to each surface.
5. Treat odor: air scrubbing and deodorization once residue is gone.
6. Rebuild: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint and trim.

We keep a detailed inventory and photographs throughout, because fire claims involve more line items than almost any other kind of loss.

Free Smoke Alarms From the City

The Edmond Fire Department runs a smoke alarm program for residents within city limits: it will deliver and install alarms free of charge, and it loans alarms with strobe lights to residents with hearing impairments. If you're rebuilding, it's a good moment to make sure every bedroom is covered.

If storm winds also damaged the roof, our storm damage cleanup page explains how we stop rain getting in. To see our water work, visit the Edmond water damage crew's main page.
