We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Addis 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 Addis roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Working the 70710 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Addis code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Addis scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
Documentation built to match what Addis, LA carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Addis job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Addis, LA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Addis inspectors.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
+1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live dispatcher, not a script.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the Addis job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Addis.
Paperwork built to match what Addis, LA carriers actually ask for.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

Every Addis job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Addis inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
A freezer fire in our garage started around 2am, and the crew had the side door boarded up before the fire department even wrapped up their report. — Homeowner, Addis

Job size doesn't matter — the same process applies whether it's one room or the whole structure.

If your address falls just outside this radius, call anyway — we can often still arrange coverage through a nearby Addis, LA crew.
