Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Gateway so a technician can be walking your property within the hour, not scheduling you in for next week.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Gateway roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 33913 regularly, they already understand which Gateway permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Gateway scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Gateway, FL fire claims get partially denied.
