A structure fire changes a Lithonia property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Lithonia roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Working the 30058 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Lithonia code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Lithonia, GA, and our Lithonia jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Lithonia job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Lithonia, GA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Lithonia properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
We rebuild to Lithonia, GA code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Lithonia fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
