We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Dover properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Dover roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Dover, OH fire claims get partially denied.
