Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in San Diego
After a fire, the damage doesn't stop when the flames go out. Soot is acidic and starts etching surfaces within hours, smoke odor works its way into drywall, insulation and HVAC, and the water used to put the fire out brings its own risk of mold. Maccraft Restoration responds 24/7 across San Diego County to secure the property, stop secondary damage, and restore it to pre-loss condition.

FAQ
Fire Damage Questions
Still need help? Get Help Now
Do you work with my insurance?
Yes. We document the loss from the first visit — photos, moisture readings, and an itemized scope — and work directly with your adjuster. Most homeowner policies cover sudden fire damage; your adjuster confirms coverage for your claim.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
Small kitchen fires with light smoke damage are often cleaned in a few days. Losses with water damage, contents pack-out, and rebuild typically take several weeks, depending on the size of the area, insurance approvals, and materials. We give you a written timeline after the inspection.
Is it safe to stay in the house after a fire?
Not always. Soot particles and smoke residue can irritate the lungs, and fire can damage wiring and structure. Until the property is assessed, keep children and pets out of affected areas and don't run the HVAC system, which can spread soot through the house.
