Call (855) 915-0646

We know the homes in 95610, 95611, and 95621. We know the single-story ranchers along Old Auburn Road, the tract houses near Sylvan Corners, the ones with original 1960s popcorn ceilings and carports that were never sealed right. That matters more than you’d think when smoke has worked its way into places you can’t see.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company

The homes here were mostly built between 1955 and 1980. That’s not trivia. It changes how a fire job gets done, and it’s why our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration crew approaches a Citrus Heights job differently than one in a newer subdivision. Before we cut into any wall or pull up any floor, we’re testing for asbestos. Popcorn ceilings from the 1960s, floor tile buried under three generations of vinyl, aluminum branch wiring that heat degrades, galvanized pipes that corrode after fire suppression water hits them. We anticipate all of it because we’ve seen it on nearly every tract home we’ve worked in this city.

Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still answers his own phone. That’s not a marketing line. When you call (855) 915-0646 at 2 a.m. because a kitchen fire left your home in 95621 unlivable, Wade is the one who picks up. He lives where accountability means running into you at the Bel Air on Sunrise. He publishes his name and license number. He puts the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every fire job: if it’s not done right, he makes it right. One call brings him back.

Customers across Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and Orangevale will tell you the same thing: Wade’s crew showed up in uniform, background-checked, with Dri-Eaz air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators, and they didn’t leave until the smoke smell was gone. Not masked. Gone. We document everything with photos, we log moisture readings daily, and we talk to your insurance adjuster directly so you never have to play messenger.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Citrus Heights

Fire Damage Cleanup

Fire cleanup in Citrus Heights means dealing with what the flames left and what the water left. Structure fires here often burn through the kitchen into the original mid-century wall cavities, where drywall from that era crumbles differently than modern board. We remove charred materials, cart off debris, and stabilize the structure so secondary damage doesn’t spread through your 1960s rancher while you wait for rebuild. In Citrus Heights, fire damage cleanup usually runs $1,200 to $4,800 before any structural repair.

Smoke & Soot Removal

Soot from a house fire in Citrus Heights doesn’t just sit on surfaces. It gets pulled into ductwork, pushed into insulation, and baked onto the low-pitch roof framing common in these older homes. Our smoke and soot removal process includes HEPA vacuuming, dry sponge cleaning on every horizontal surface, and air scrubbing with professional-grade negative air machines. Expect $1,500 to $5,500 for a full smoke and soot removal job in a typical Citrus Heights single-story home, depending on how far the soot traveled.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

This is the step most homeowners care about most, and it’s where shortcuts show. Smoke odor in Citrus Heights homes often hides in original post-and-beam carport cavities that were never sealed, in the gap behind 1970s paneling, in the attic insulation layered over decades. We use hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, and ozone treatment (when the home is empty) to neutralize odor at the source, not cover it with fragrance. Odor removal alone typically costs $800 to $2,800, and when it’s done right it stays done.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Your grandmother’s china, the photo albums from 1972, the furniture that’s been in the family since the house was built. We inventory, pack out, clean, and store contents at our Sacramento facility, then return them when the home is ready. Fire and smoke damage restoration in Citrus Heights means coordinating contents cleaning with your adjuster so the claim pays what it should. Contents cleaning and pack-out typically adds $1,000 to $4,000 depending on volume.

Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Heights

We restore fire and smoke damage in homes with every major builder name from the mid-century boom: Streng Brothers, Del Dayo, Signature, and the tract builders who put up thousands of homes across the Sunrise corridor in the 1960s and 1970s. We also run equipment you’ll recognize if you’ve done your research: Dri-Eaz for drying and air movement, hydroxyl generators for odor, thermal foggers for deep deodorization. Wade keeps parts and supplies in stock for Citrus Heights jobs so we’re not waiting on a truck from out of town when your home is open to the weather.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes

• Asbestos hidden under newer materials. The 1960s tract homes around 95610 and 95621 almost always have original floor tile or popcorn ceiling texture under what looks like modern surfaces. When fire damage forces demolition, that layer gets exposed, and we have to stop, test, and coordinate with a certified abatement team before structural work continues. Skipping this step spreads friable fibers through the whole house.
• Smoke odor trapped in original carport cavities. Post-and-beam carports built in the 1960s were rarely sealed at the connection points. After a fire, smoke gets pulled into those cavities and keeps releasing odor for weeks. We find this on nearly every fire job near Auburn Boulevard and along the older streets west of Sunrise.
• Aluminum branch wiring compromised by heat. Homes built between 1965 and 1972 in Citrus Heights often have aluminum branch circuits. Fire heat can degrade the connections even in rooms that never saw flame. When we’re doing smoke and soot removal, we flag this to the homeowner and adjuster because it’s a fire risk on its own.
• Galvanized supply lines failing after fire suppression. Fire hoses and sprinklers dump hundreds of gallons into a home. In Citrus Heights’s slab-on-grade ranchers, the plumbing runs under the slab. What starts as a fire job often becomes a slab leak job within weeks. We document everything so your adjuster sees the full picture.
