Fire & Water Damage Restoration Near You
Use this directory to locate restoration companies that may handle emergency water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, soot removal, odor treatment, reconstruction and related property restoration services.
Fire Damage Restoration
Fire restoration can include structural assessment, emergency board-up, debris removal, soot cleaning, smoke odor treatment, contents cleaning and reconstruction.
Water Damage Restoration
Water restoration commonly involves extraction, moisture inspection, drying, dehumidification, damaged-material removal and structural restoration.
Fire + Water Recovery
A structure affected by a fire can also experience water damage from firefighting operations. Look for companies capable of coordinating both mitigation processes.
Smoke & Soot
Smoke and soot can affect walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, furniture, contents and indoor air. Ask the contractor about containment and cleaning procedures.
Mold Prevention
Moisture left after flooding, leaks or firefighting can create conditions for microbial growth. Proper moisture control and drying should be addressed quickly.
Reconstruction
Some restoration firms also provide reconstruction, including drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing and other building repairs.
What To Do After Fire or Water Damage
Make the Property Safe
Leave unsafe areas after a fire. Do not enter areas with structural instability, electrical hazards, smoke or contaminated water.
Stop the Source If Safe
Shut off water or utilities only when it can be done safely and without entering hazardous areas.
Document the Damage
Photograph and record visible damage when safe. Keep damaged materials and contents until your insurer or restoration professional advises otherwise.
Call a Restoration Company
Ask for an emergency inspection and mitigation plan. Water extraction and drying may be especially time-sensitive.
Contact Your Insurance
Notify your insurance carrier and ask what documentation and emergency mitigation procedures are required under your policy.
Ask for a Written Scope
Request a written description of mitigation, cleaning, drying, demolition and reconstruction work before major non-emergency work begins.
What Credentials Should You Look For?
Certification should be checked rather than assumed. The IICRC publishes standards for both professional water damage restoration and fire/smoke restoration.
IICRC S500
ANSI/IICRC S500 is the professional standard associated with water damage restoration.
IICRC S700
ANSI/IICRC S700 is the professional standard for fire and smoke damage restoration.
License & Insurance
Depending on the state and scope of work, ask about contractor licensing, insurance and any permits required for reconstruction.
Restoration Cost Planning Calculator
This calculator is only a rough planning tool. Actual restoration costs depend heavily on property size, severity, materials, contamination, location and reconstruction requirements.
Important: This is not a contractor quote or insurance estimate. Obtain an on-site assessment and written estimate before authorizing significant restoration work.

Fire & Water Restoration FAQ
Why search for a company that handles both fire and water damage?
Fire events can create multiple forms of property damage. Fire suppression can introduce substantial water into the building, while smoke and soot can affect surfaces and contents. A restoration company capable of handling multiple damage types can potentially coordinate the recovery process.
Should I search for a 24/7 restoration company?
For active leaks, flooding or other emergencies, rapid response can be important. However, verify the company’s actual emergency availability rather than assuming it from a directory listing.
Does this directory show every restoration company?
No. The directory uses open mapping data and coverage varies by location. A missing company does not mean that the company does not operate in the area.
Are the ratings and certifications verified?
Not automatically. OpenStreetMap does not consistently provide ratings, review counts or professional credentials. The directory therefore avoids inventing those values. Verify licensing, insurance, certification and reviews independently before hiring.
What does IICRC certification mean?
IICRC is the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification. It develops standards and certifications covering restoration disciplines, including water damage and fire/smoke restoration.
How This Directory Works
This version is designed to avoid fabricated company records. Search results are retrieved from OpenStreetMap data around the selected location.
OpenStreetMap Data
Company locations are searched dynamically using open geographic data. Coverage differs between cities and states.
No Fabricated Ratings
If rating, review count, certification or hours are not present in the source data, the directory does not create a number or claim.
Fresh Search
Searches are performed when the user requests them rather than relying on a fixed hardcoded list of companies.
