Fast, Reliable Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Across Loomis
Fire and smoke damage in Loomis hits different than it does in Rocklin or Roseville.

That’s exactly why our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team approaches every Loomis job with a foothill-specific playbook. If your home off Val Verde Road or Del Oro Boulevard just took smoke, soot, or fire damage, call us right now at (855) 915-0646. Wade answers his own phone, and he can be on the road to your place fast.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Loomis’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and he’s been working Loomis properties long enough to know that this town’s damage profile doesn’t look like anything you’d see in the flatter parts of Placer County. Loomis sits at the edge of the Sierra Nevada foothills WUI zone, so homes here get a dual threat: wildfire smoke and ember infiltration in fire season, and atmospheric-river water intrusion in winter that overwhelms hillside drainage and the seasonal creek corridors around Antelope Creek. A lot of Loomis homeowners have already been burned by a national chain that quoted one number over the phone and a different one at the door. With us, the quote is upfront, the work is documented, and the owner’s name is on the contract.
We answer our phones 24/7. No voicemail tree, no answering service. When you call at 2 a.m. because smoke just rolled through your house off a grass fire near Sierra College Boulevard, you get Wade or one of his people. Not a call center in another state. Our crews serving Loomis are background-checked and uniformed, and they run professional-grade equipment: Dri-Eaz air scrubbers, XPOWER axial fans, Phoenix dehumidifiers. Every fire and smoke job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, Wade makes it right.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Loomis
Fire Damage Cleanup
Fire cleanup in Loomis almost always involves more than the main house. Detached barns, tack rooms, workshops, and horse facilities are common on residential parcels out here, and embers don’t care which structure they land on. We assess the whole property for hidden char, smolder points, and structural compromise, then clean out the damage with the right equipment for the material, not just the fastest setting. On ranch properties, that often means board-up on outbuildings while we work the house.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Smoke and soot settle into places most crews miss. In Loomis ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, the raised crawl-space foundation is a common entry point. Smoke pushes through vent gaps, gets trapped in insulation and floor joists, and then the odor keeps coming back no matter how much you scrub the walls. We treat the crawl space as a primary surface, not an afterthought. That’s the difference between a one-time cleanup and a smell that lingers for years.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
This is the service Loomis homeowners call us about most often, even when there’s no visible fire damage. Smoke from Sierra fires 20 to 50 miles away gets pushed into foothill homes through gaps common in older rural construction. Fine particulate settles into carpet, drywall, insulation, and ductwork. We run Dri-Eaz air scrubbers and hydroxyl or ozone treatments depending on the material, and we don’t mask the odor, we remove it. For homes off King Road or Taylor Road, it’s often a near-annual service, not a rare event.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Smoke damage doesn’t stop at the walls. Clothes, furniture, documents, and horse tack all hold odor and soot. We do full contents cleaning and pack-out for Loomis homes, including detached buildings where people store saddles, blankets, feed, and equipment. Our crew inventories everything, cleans or restores what’s salvageable, and documents it all for your insurance adjuster. If you’re dealing with a claim, we work directly with the adjuster so you’re not the one relaying messages between two sides.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We run Dri-Eaz air scrubbers and dehumidifiers on smoke and water jobs across Loomis because they’re the standard the restoration industry measures itself against. On the drying and ventilation side, XPOWER axial fans move air through ranch-style homes and crawl spaces fast enough to prevent secondary damage. Our certifications through the IICRC, and our affiliation with RIA and IFA, mean the equipment gets used the way it was designed to be used, not the way a franchise manual says to use it. If you’re in the 95650 zip and you’ve got smoke damage from a grass fire or a kitchen fire, we can start the same day you call.
Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Smoke trapped in raised crawl spaces. Loomis is dominated by ranch-style homes on raised foundations, and smoke pushes through vent gaps into the crawl space, then settles into insulation and floor joists. If a crew doesn’t treat the crawl space, the odor comes back within weeks.
- Ember damage to detached buildings. Barns, workshops, and tack rooms get missed during initial assessment because they’re not attached to the main dwelling. Hidden char in a barn wall can smolder and reignite hours after the main fire is out.
- Firefighting water pooling with septic implications. When water from fire suppression pools in a crawl space on a Loomis property, it’s not simple wetness. Most homes here are on private septic systems, and Placer County Environmental Health has specific protocols for Category 3 contamination that add documentation and clearance steps no city-sewer job in Rocklin ever faces.
- Hillside drainage sending water uphill. Loomis sits around 400 feet elevation, and atmospheric-river storms channel rainfall down slopes that older French drains can’t handle. When a fire event is followed by heavy rain, water that pooled from firefighting mixes with runoff and floods crawl spaces near Antelope Creek drainages.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Loomis
Smoke travels 20 to 50 miles from Sierra fires and gets pushed into foothill homes through gaps common in older rural construction, including raised crawl-space vents, attic gaps, and older window seals. Loomis sits at the edge of the WUI zone, so this isn’t a rare event, it’s a recurring seasonal problem for many households. Fine particulate settles into carpet, drywall, insulation, and ductwork, and the odor won’t go away until you treat all of those surfaces. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk the property and tell you exactly what we’re seeing.
Yes, in many cases it does. Most Loomis properties are on private wells and septic systems, not municipal utilities. When firefighting water pools in a crawl space or a sewage backup happens during the restoration, Placer County Environmental Health protocols for septic-related Category 3 contamination require mandatory documentation and clearance steps. A crew that doesn’t know Loomis will treat it like simple wetness and miss the county requirements. We handle the paperwork and the clearance so you don’t get flagged later.
Yes, and we do it often because Loomis residential parcels commonly include barns, tack rooms, workshops, and horse facilities. Ember damage to outbuildings often gets missed during initial assessment by crews that only look at the house. We assess the entire property, board up and tarp any structure that’s exposed, and document everything for your insurance claim. On a ranch property off Val Verde Road, our crew handled emergency board-up and tarping on a detached horse barn after ember entry scorched a tack room, along with full smoke remediation in the main house.
Because repainting seals the surface but doesn’t address the crawl space, insulation, ductwork, and floor joists where smoke actually settled. Loomis ranch homes on raised foundations trap smoke in the crawl space, and every time the HVAC kicks on or the house breathes, the odor comes back up through the floor. We treat the crawl space as a primary surface, run air scrubbers, and replace contaminated insulation where needed. That’s the only way the smell actually stays gone.
Emergency board-up means covering broken windows, burnt-out door frames, roof openings, and any other entry point exposed after a fire, so embers, weather, and wildlife don’t get inside before restoration starts. For Loomis homes near the WUI zone, it also means checking detached structures and outbuildings, not just the main dwelling. We can be on site fast, secure the property, tarp the roof if needed, and start the assessment. Call (855) 915-0646 day or night and Wade will head out.
