Call (855) 915-0646

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team heads out to Chino Hills the moment you call. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the way smoke behaves in a stucco tract home built on engineered hillside fill. That local knowledge is the difference between a quick wipe-down and actually getting the smell out.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Chino Hills’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company

Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his own name on it. His address is published. His license number is published. When you call the number, you get him. In a town like Chino Hills, where half your neighbors have been through a brushfire scare and the other half know someone who has, that kind of accountability matters. Ask anyone on your street about the last restoration crew they dealt with. You’ll hear stories about national outfits that quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the front door. Wade doesn’t work that way. He gives you a written scope before any work starts, and every fire, water, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. In writing.

Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. They run Dri-Eaz HEPA air scrubbers, Phoenix axial air movers, and XPOWER equipment on every job. We hold IICRC certification and stay active with RIA. But what Chino Hills homeowners tell us they value most is simpler: Wade answers his own phone at 2 a.m. and can have a crew on the road to your house inside the hour. No voicemail. No answering service. A live person, every time.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Chino Hills

Fire damage is never just one problem. It’s the burned drywall, the soot that settled into every crevice, the odor trapped in insulation and ductwork, and the contents of your home that need cleaning or pack-out. In Chino Hills, there’s an extra layer: smoke from the state park’s chaparral that gets into places a flatland crew would never think to check. Here’s what we handle.

Fire Damage Cleanup

We remove charred materials, clean structural framing, and assess what’s salvageable versus what needs to come out. In Chino Hills homes built between 1985 and 2005, that often means cutting out smoke-damaged drywall and checking the cavity behind it. Seismic cracking in older hillside homes creates paths for smoke to travel far from the original fire. A kitchen fire in a Los Serranos home can leave odor pockets three rooms away because smoke moved through cracks in the framing. We find those pockets. Most crews don’t.

Smoke & Soot Removal

Soot is acidic. It etches paint, corrodes metal surfaces, and embeds itself in porous materials like stucco and drywall. In Chino Hills, we see a specific pattern: after a brushfire pushes smoke through a neighborhood, fine ash settles on every horizontal surface and works into textured ceilings. We use HEPA filtration and chemical sponge techniques to pull soot off surfaces without grinding it deeper. For homes along the park perimeter, this is almost an annual maintenance issue during Santa Ana season.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Smoke odor doesn’t go away on its own. It lives in soft goods, inside wall cavities, and, in Chino Hills especially, inside HVAC systems. We run thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators where appropriate. But the real fix is finding the source. In one Butterfield Ranch home off Pine Avenue, our crew couldn’t fully clear a smoke odor until we pulled the blower assembly and found the evaporator coil packed with ash. Wet-washing the coil and running an air mover through the duct chase finally did it. That’s the difference between masking a smell and eliminating it.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Your furniture, clothes, dishes, and documents absorb smoke just like the structure does. We inventory, pack, and transport contents to our cleaning facility where they’re processed with ultrasonic cleaning, ozone chambers, and specialized solvents. For Chino Hills homeowners dealing with a fire claim, we photograph everything and coordinate directly with your adjuster. You shouldn’t have to be the messenger between your restoration crew and your insurance company. You won’t be with us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Chino Hills

We don’t play favorites with insurance companies or national referral networks. We work for you. That said, we service equipment from every major HVAC and appliance brand found in Chino Hills homes: Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and Bryant furnaces and air handlers. When smoke gets into a system, the fix isn’t always a cleaning. Sometimes a blower motor or control board needs replacement. We stock common parts for Chino Hills’ housing stock and can turn around repairs fast, because waiting weeks for a part while your house smells like a campfire isn’t acceptable.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Chino Hills Homes

Chino Hills has a housing stock and geography that create specific failure patterns. Here’s what we run into regularly:

• Ash-packed evaporator coils after brushfire season. Homes in the wildland-urban interface, particularly those abutting Chino Hills State Park, pull smoke through return-air vents and coat the coil. Every time the AC cycles, the whole house smells like the fire happened yesterday. Cleaning the coil is the fix most crews miss.
• Ember entry through attic vents and soffit gaps. Santa Ana winds can drive smoldering embers into attic spaces through mesh vents. If those embers smolder in insulation or dry leaves, the next wind event can reignite them. After any brushfire near Chino Hills, we check attic vents and soffits as part of every fire damage assessment in 91709.
• Smoke trapped behind stucco on hillside homes. Chino Hills sits on clay-rich expansive soils that shift with moisture. Those shifts crack stucco skins and grade beams, opening pathways for smoke to travel behind the drywall. A standard deodorizer on the surface won’t touch it. You have to find the path and treat the cavity.
• Recurring odor in homes built during the 1985-2005 boom. That era of tract construction used materials and assemblies that hold smoke differently than older or newer homes. Pressed-wood cabinets, textured ceilings, and fiberglass batt insulation all absorb and re-release odor on humid days. A proper restoration addresses all three, not just the visible surfaces.
