Fire 801 handles one kind of loss: fire. Soot, smoke odor, board-up, contents, firefighting water, and the insurance paperwork that follows — for homes from Ogden to Provo.
The first days decide what is savable. Soot sets, odor migrates, water sits.
Every step in the sequence, from board-up to the last trace of odor.
The full sequence after a house fire: assessment, board-up, removal of charred material, structural cleaning, and handoff to rebuild — managed alongside your claim.
Learn more →Dry, wet, and protein soot each need different chemistry. We identify the residue first, then clean walls, ceilings, and surfaces in the correct order.
Learn more →Smoke odor hides in porous materials and returns with warm weather. Source removal comes first; ozone, hydroxyl, or thermal fog treatment follows — never the reverse.
Learn more →A room-by-room inventory, photographed and listed for your insurer. Salvageable items are packed out, cleaned, deodorized, and stored until your home is ready.
Learn more →Broken windows, burned doors, and open roofs invite weather, animals, and liability. Board-up and tarping secure the house and satisfy your policy's mitigation duty.
Learn more →Three steps, and no obligation at any point.
Call 801-515-0640 once the fire department releases the scene. We ask what burned, where the utilities stand, and if the house is open to weather, then schedule the visit and tell you what not to touch in the meantime.
On site, we walk the damage, photograph everything before it moves, board up openings, tarp the roof if it burned through, and map where soot and smoke traveled — which is usually much farther than the fire itself.
Extraction of firefighting water, soot removal, odor treatment, and contents pack-out follow in sequence. We share our documentation and line-item scope with your adjuster so the claim reflects what the work actually requires.

Often no, at least at first. Even a small fire can leave soot particles, lingering gases, and compromised wiring behind, and firefighting water can make floors and ceilings unsafe. Let the fire department's guidance stand until the structure and air have been evaluated. Many homeowners policies pay for temporary lodging while the house is uninhabitable.
Fire is a core covered peril on standard homeowners policies, and smoke damage from that fire is generally covered with it. Deductibles, limits, and exclusions vary by policy, so read yours and ask your agent. We document the damage thoroughly so the claim reflects the real scope, but the coverage decision always belongs to your insurer.
Untreated, it can linger indefinitely. Smoke odor comes from residues embedded in porous materials, not from air that needs time to clear. It often fades, then returns with heat or humidity. Once the sources are removed and the structure is properly cleaned and deodorized, the odor should be gone for good — not masked, gone.
Yes. We photograph and document the loss, prepare a line-item scope of work, and communicate directly with your adjuster so technical questions get answered without you stuck in the middle. The policy is a contract between you and your insurer — we do not negotiate your claim, but we make sure the damage is fully recorded.
It matters as much as the burn. Firefighting can put a large volume of water into a structure, where it soaks insulation, drywall, and subfloors. Extraction and structural drying start early in the job, because wet material grows mold and holds smoke odor. Water damage from firefighting is treated as part of the fire loss.
No. Far more survives a fire than most homeowners expect. Hard goods, many textiles, and some electronics and documents can be professionally cleaned and deodorized. Items that were charred, melted, or heavily coated in greasy residue usually cannot. Everything gets inventoried either way, because non-salvageable contents belong on your claim too.
