Ohio has a large stock of older housing across its industrial cities, long heating seasons, and the electrical faults that come with original wiring carrying modern load. Those three account for most of what we see.

Emberline Restoration works statewide. Electrical fires in wall cavities and panels are small and disproportionate: burning insulation produces residues aggressive toward metal and electronics, and the corrosion damage continues for weeks after a fire that looked like almost nothing.

Why choose us for fire damage restoration

Why Ohio Owners Call Us First

Electrical fires get handled quickly on the residue side and carefully on the wiring side. Burning insulation leaves deposits aggressive toward metal and electronics, and that corrosion continues long after a fire that looked like nothing at all.

Conductor condition is an electrician's call, not ours, so we coordinate rather than guess. Containment matters here too, because the fire zone is often small and the rest of the building is undamaged.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about fire damage restoration

Common questions about fire and smoke damage in Ohio

Talk to a real person

How fast do I need to start fire cleanup in Ohio?

Within days, not weeks. Soot is acidic and begins etching chrome, brass, aluminum and polished stone almost immediately. A fire that damaged two rooms can cost you fixtures throughout the building if the residue sits through a weekend. Call (888) 773-0161 and we will get someone out.

Why does my house still smell after it was cleaned?

Almost always the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point, the system pulled smoke in and pushed it through the building, and it keeps redistributing odor every time it cycles. The rooms get cleaned and the system feeding them does not.

My furnace puffed back and there was no fire. Is that the same thing?

The cleanup is very similar. A puffback pushes oily soot through every duct run in the building, so the contamination is widespread even though nothing burned. Have the furnace serviced before it runs again, because a unit that puffed back once will do it again.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

Sometimes, depending on the extent and whether containment can separate the work area from where you live. Ozone treatment rules that out entirely for the duration. Hydroxyl generators are the occupied space alternative and we use those where people are staying.

What is different about wildfire ash?

It is alkaline rather than acidic, it travels much further than people expect, and it can carry heavy metals from whatever burned nearby. It needs HEPA vacuuming rather than sweeping or blowing, which just puts it back into the air.
