Fire Damage Restoration for Chesterfield, MO
Also Serving St. Louis, MO, and Surrounding Areas
If you’ve experienced the catastrophic effects of a fire in your home or business, you know it can be devastating. Getting the fire extinguished is only the beginning; cleaning up afterward can be a considerable effort, one that you want to trust to professionals.
The extent of damages resulting from a fire can vary. But if the fire department was involved in putting it out, you will have several issues to deal with. Residual smoke and soot can permeate porous surfaces on furniture, carpeting and drapes. Water used to extinguish the fire can remain. If the water and moisture are not dried up completely, mold growth can occur rapidly.
Start putting your life back together after a devastating blaze by turning to the specialists at St. Louis Cleaning and Restoration for fire damage restoration. After the fire department has left, it is time to start moving forward with the process of restoring your home or business to the functional condition you once enjoyed.

Professional Equipment
Comprehensive fire restoration requires using commercial-grade equipment to purify contaminated air and neutralize odors. St. Louis Cleaning and Restoration has the following machines available for this purpose:
- HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum – A high-powered vacuum with filters that trap airborne particles like soot. It can be used on surfaces including ceilings, walls and floors.
- Air scrubber – This machine uses a suction and filtration system to eliminate odors and clean the air.
- Negative air fan – Removes contaminated air from the building through air ducts, creating negative air pressure (a vacuum effect).
- Ozone machine – This machine is used after the building is thoroughly cleaned and all contents are removed to neutralize odors.
Insurance Covers Most Fire Damage Cleanup
Unless you, as the home or business owner, intentionally set the fire yourself (arson) or the building was vacant when the fire occurred, your insurance policy should cover any restoration costs. (In the case of a vacant building, you can get a vacant home insurance policy to cover it.) Even renters insurance will cover damage to the renter’s possessions caused by an accidental fire.
St. Louis Cleaning and Restoration will work with your insurance company in the restoration process. We will provide any evidence and documentation required for submitting claims. We have been in the business for decades, so we know the process for appraising damages and what most insurance companies will and will not approve. We will work within their boundaries as much as possible to ensure your out-of-pocket expenses are minimal.
