Residential Fire & Smoke Investigation

Fire and Smoke Damage Isn’t Always Visible

Hidden Soot Can Linger Long After the Flames Are Out

After a fire, smoke event, or furnace puff back, damage can extend far beyond what’s obvious. Soot and smoke residues often settle in hidden cavities—behind walls, above ceilings, inside HVAC ductwork—posing ongoing health risks and odor issues. Our fire and smoke inspection services in Indianapolis and surrounding areas identify these contaminants using specialized sampling and laboratory analysis, providing a full picture of what truly needs to be cleaned or removed.

A Smarter Way to Scope Fire and Smoke Losses

Targeted Testing, Protocols That Prevent Over-Remediation

Our inspections don’t just identify damage—they guide the recovery process. We develop customized remediation protocols that outline exactly where cleaning and removal is required, helping property owners and insurers avoid unnecessary demolition. This evidence-based approach streamlines restoration, ensures health and safety standards are met, and prevents costly over-scoping—saving both time and money during fire or smoke loss recovery.

When Should You Schedule Fire and Smoke Testing?

Know the Right Time to Act—and Why It Matters

Fire and smoke testing is critical any time your property has been affected by visible smoke, odor, or soot—even if the damage seems minor. Testing is especially important before restoration work begins, to ensure you’re not overlooking contamination in concealed spaces. It’s also valuable after remediation to verify that cleaning was successful and that no harmful particulates remain. Whether you’re dealing with a recent incident or persistent odors from a past event, our testing brings clarity and confidence to the recovery process.

What Is Smoke and Soot Testing?

A Scientific Approach to Post-Fire Assessment

Smoke and soot residue testing goes beyond what the eye can see. After a fire, smoke event, or furnace puff back, microscopic contaminants can settle deep into structural materials, contents, and air systems. Our smoke and fire residue assessments in the Indianapolis area use surface swabs, bulk material sampling, and air monitoring to pinpoint where harmful particles have spread. This testing provides the data needed to determine both the extent of contamination and the areas that require targeted cleaning or removal.
