Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Aurora, CO

Emergency Fire Response and Complete Restoration for Aurora Homes

A house fire is one of the most disorienting things a homeowner can experience. Even a small fire in one room leaves smoke residue, odor, and soot throughout the entire structure. Water from firefighting efforts adds another layer of damage. And the clock keeps running: soot begins to etch and stain surfaces permanently within hours, and smoke odor that is not treated correctly never fully leaves. Anatom Restoration provides fire and smoke damage restoration for homes and businesses throughout Aurora, available 24 hours a day. Call us at (720) 356-0945 as soon as the fire department clears your property.

What Fire and Smoke Damage Looks Like in an Aurora Home

Every fire is different, but the damage follows consistent patterns. Flames consume and char materials directly in the burn path. Smoke travels through every opening in the structure, depositing soot on walls, ceilings, inside HVAC ducts, inside closets and cabinets, and on personal belongings. The smoke damage often extends two or three rooms beyond where the fire actually burned. In Aurora’s ranch-style homes from the 1950s through 1970s, like those in Hoffman Heights, Morris Heights, and Del Mar Parkway, the open floor plans and shared HVAC systems mean smoke can reach every room quickly. In the newer two-story homes of southeast Aurora, the open staircase design in neighborhoods like Saddle Rock and Tallyn’s Reach allows smoke to travel rapidly to upper floors. Water from suppression, whether from sprinklers or fire department hoses, adds secondary damage on top of fire and smoke, soaking drywall, subfloors, and contents. The combination of fire, smoke, and water damage requires a coordinated restoration approach, not separate contractors working independently.

Our Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Process in Aurora

We begin with emergency stabilization. That means boarding windows and doors if the structure is open, tarping any roof breaches from fire damage or firefighting activity, and securing the property. We then conduct a full damage assessment, documenting every affected surface with photos and written notes for your insurance purposes. Soot and smoke residue require specific cleaning chemistry, not general-purpose cleaners. Different surfaces, including porous materials like drywall and wood, smooth surfaces like glass and tile, and textiles like upholstery and carpeting, each require different techniques. We work through the affected areas systematically, cleaning from the top down, treating surfaces, and removing materials that cannot be cleaned to an acceptable standard. HVAC duct cleaning is a critical step that is sometimes overlooked: smoke that enters the duct system will continue to circulate odor throughout the home until the ducts are properly cleaned. Structural drying for the water component runs concurrently. After cleaning and drying are complete, we handle the physical repairs: replacing damaged drywall, installing new flooring, painting, and completing any structural rebuilding required. We provide full documentation throughout for your insurance claim and coordinate with your adjuster if that is helpful.

Smoke Odor Removal in Aurora: Why It Matters and How We Do It

Smoke odor is the last thing many homeowners expect to be a major issue, and it is often the hardest to fully resolve. Smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials, including drywall, wood framing, insulation, subflooring, and soft furnishings. Surface cleaning removes the visible soot but does not eliminate embedded odor molecules. To properly neutralize smoke odor in an Aurora home, we use thermal fogging and ozone treatment in appropriate situations, which penetrate the same porous materials the smoke reached. Hydroxyl generation is another method we use in occupied or sensitive environments. We also seal certain surfaces with odor-blocking primer before painting, which locks in any residual odor that cleaning could not reach. In Aurora’s multi-level homes in neighborhoods like Heather Ridge and Village East, where smoke has traveled through multiple floors and into finished spaces, odor treatment has to be systematic rather than a spot application. We do not consider the job complete until the odor issue is resolved, because a home that smells like smoke is not a restored home.

The sooner professional cleaning begins, the better the outcome for both salvageable materials and final restoration costs.
Yes, and often significantly beyond it. Smoke moves through every gap in a structure, including HVAC ducts, wall penetrations, and door gaps, depositing residue throughout the home. In Aurora’s open-concept ranch homes and two-story residences with open stairwells, smoke can reach every room of the house even when the fire itself was contained to one area. A full inspection is always needed to determine the true scope of smoke damage.
No. Water damage caused by fire suppression, whether from sprinklers or fire hose application, is generally part of the same fire damage insurance claim. Your homeowner’s policy typically covers all resulting damage from a covered fire event, including the water used to extinguish it. We document both the fire and smoke damage and the water damage together in a single comprehensive report.
Yes. Smoke enters HVAC return ducts and deposits soot and residue on the interior of ductwork, coils, and blower components. If the HVAC system runs after a fire without cleaning, it recirculates smoke residue and odor throughout the home. We include HVAC duct assessment and cleaning in our scope for fire events where smoke reached the return air system.
Many items can be cleaned and restored rather than replaced. We assess contents carefully because restoration is almost always less expensive than replacement, and some items have sentimental value that cannot be replaced at all. We use professional content cleaning techniques, including ultrasonic cleaning for smaller items. Items that cannot be adequately cleaned are documented for the insurance record.
We handle the complete restoration from emergency stabilization through final repairs. That includes structural drying, smoke and soot cleanup, odor treatment, drywall replacement, flooring, painting, trim, cabinetry, and any structural rebuilding needed. You work with one company for the entire process rather than coordinating separate mitigation and construction contractors.
The timeline depends on the scope of damage. A kitchen fire with smoke spread throughout one floor might take 2 to 4 weeks. Significant structural fire damage with extensive rebuilding can take 2 to 4 months. We provide a detailed timeline and phased plan after the initial assessment so you know what to expect and can make appropriate living arrangements.
Colorado’s dry climate increases fire risk in general, particularly during low-humidity periods and in homes with older wiring. Aurora also has a mix of housing types with varying electrical system ages, from homes with original 1960s wiring in north Aurora to modern construction in southeast Aurora developments. Wildfire smoke from surrounding areas can also affect Aurora’s air quality and create smoke-related concerns even without a structure fire.
