Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Boulder City, NV

After a fire in Boulder City, RemediationX handles soot cleanup, odor removal, packout and rebuild with one team from start to finish.

Older Wiring and Winter Heat

Boulder City sits higher than Las Vegas and gets colder winter nights. That means more space heaters and fireplaces in use through the winter. In older homes, some wiring and outlets were not built for the loads we put on them today. A heater on an old circuit or a chimney that has not been cleaned can start a fire. Even a small one leaves a thin layer of soot across nearby rooms. We test the soot type, then clean walls, ceilings and trim with the right method. We work carefully around original woodwork in the historic district, cleaning it rather than tearing it out when we can.

Brush Fire Smoke From the Hills

Open desert and rocky hills surround Boulder City on most sides. In hot, windy weather, brush can catch and burn fast. Homes near the edge of town may never see flames but can still fill with smoke. Soot comes in through swamp coolers, which pull outside air into the house by design. It settles in carpets, curtains, cooler ducts and the attic. The smell can linger for months. We clean the soot from surfaces, treat the fabric, and clean the ducts and cooler vents. HEPA air scrubbers run the whole time to catch fine particles. Replace the cooler pads too, since they trap smoke.

Water, Packout and Rebuild

When Boulder City firefighters put out a fire, the water they use stays in the walls, floors and ceilings. That water has to be treated as a water loss, or mold can follow. We extract it, dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers, and log moisture readings each day. At the same time, our crew does a full packout. We box up belongings, move them out, and clean what can be saved. Once the home is clean and dry, the same team frames, hangs drywall, paints and lays new flooring. You deal with one crew from the first call to the last coat of paint. In a historic home, we match old trim and doors where we can.
