  • Roof and structural tarping to prevent weather-related secondary damage

Residential Fire & Smoke Damage Removal in Richmond, VA

Your home in Richmond, VA is where your life happens - and the people at Fire Damage Doption understand that removing fire damage from a home is completely different from a commercial job.

Soot is acidic and corrosive. Left untreated in your Richmond, VA home, it permanently etches into walls, corrodes metal fixtures, and destroys porous surfaces like wood and fabric. Our room-by-room approach ensures soot doesn't get tracked from damaged areas into clean spaces of your Richmond, VA home.

  • Complete charred debris clearing and EPA-compliant disposal from your Richmond, VA home
  • Industrial soot removal from all walls, ceilings, floors, and structural surfaces
  • Smoke odor elimination using industrial ozone generators, hydroxyl machines, and thermal fogging
