Commercial fire & smoke · Charleston, SC
Commercial fire & smoke damage restoration in Charleston.
A kitchen flare-up, an electrical fire, smoke pulled through the HVAC into every suite. We secure the building, clear soot and odor, clean contents and inventory, and document it all, so you protect tenants and get back to business.
Every hour closed is revenue lost. We get you reopened.
Acidic soot keeps etching equipment and finishes after the fire's out, and smoke odor spreads building-wide. Early cleanup saves far more of the space.
How we handle it

Commercial fire & smoke questions
- Can you secure the building and inventory right away?
- Yes. Emergency board-up, fencing, and roof tarping are part of the first response, so the property and any salvageable inventory are protected from weather and access while restoration proceeds.
- Smoke got into other tenants' spaces. Can you handle that?
- Smoke travels through shared HVAC and wall cavities, so we assess and treat affected adjacent spaces too, documenting each area separately for the right policy. We coordinate access through your property manager.
- Can damaged equipment and inventory be saved?
- Some can, depending on material and exposure. We evaluate item by item and document what's restorable versus a total loss for your claim. Specialized electronics restoration is handled through vetted partners, and we'll confirm scope before committing.
