Fire & Smoke Damage Remediation.
After a fire, the damage doesn’t stop when the flames do. Smoke, soot, and water from firefighting efforts continue to deteriorate your home every day restoration is delayed. Develeko handles every phase of smoke and soot removal, structural assessment, demolition, and full rebuild under one roof with owner-led oversight, in-house materials, and transparent documentation for your insurance claim.
Trusted & Award-Winning
Your Home Had a Fire. Here's What You Need to Know Before Anything Else.
The aftermath of a fire is overwhelming. Between dealing with your insurance company, figuring out what’s salvageable, and finding a contractor you can trust, most homeowners feel completely lost. The decisions you make in the first few days directly affect how much of your home you can save, how quickly you can return, and how much the entire process will cost. We’ve put together a free resource that walks you through exactly what to do, what to ask your insurer, and how to protect yourself from contractors who take advantage of disaster situations.
OUR HOME CAN BE RESTORED, BUT THE RIGHT STEPS MATTER.
TYPES OF FIRE DAMAGE WE HANDLE
Comprehensive Restoration for Every Type of Fire & Smoke Damage
Not two fires are the same. The type of fire, the materials that burned, and how long the smoke lingered all affect the remediation approach. We’ve handled them all in homes across Ottawa.
Grease and cooking fires cause intense localized damage while smoke and soot spread through ductwork into every room. We rebuild the kitchen and remediate smoke damage throughout.
Faulty wiring and aging panels often burn inside walls before becoming visible. We assess the full extent of the hidden issues and rebuild on the current code.
Common in Ottawa winters. Soot and smoke contaminate entire duct systems. We remediate HVAC, replace ductwork, and restore all affected areas.
Creosote buildup can send fire into surrounding walls, attics, and roofing. Damage is often far more extensive than it appears from inside the home.
Even a small, contained fire can leave pervasive soot that corrodes surfaces, embeds in materials, and creates persistent odours. We remediate the surfaces, ductwork, and air quality completely.
Suppression efforts can leave thousands of litres of water in areas the fire never reached. We address fire and water damage as one coordinated restoration.
Why Develeko for Fire & Smoke Remediation
Remediation and Rebuild Under One Roof
Most fire restorations involve two or three separate companies: cleanup, structural work, finishing and every handoff introduces delays and cost overruns. Develeko manages the entire process from smoke removal through full reconstruction and final finishes. One team. One owner-led point of contact. One fixed-price contract.
In-House Materials Mean a Faster Return Home
When your family is displaced, every week matters. Because we own Ottawa Millhouse, Ottawa Granite Shop, and Canadian Flooring, we produce and install cabinets, countertops, flooring, and millwork directly on our schedule, not a supplier’s. That’s the difference between a rebuild that drags on for months and one that gets you home sooner.
Every Dollar Documented for You and Your Insurer
Vague contractor estimates are among the most common reasons fire claims are delayed or underpaid. We provide a complete, line-by-line itemized scope covering every element of damage and every component of the rebuild. Your adjuster gets exactly what they need. You get complete clarity on what’s being done and what it costs.
What Ottawa Homeowners Are Saying
When it comes to renovation companies in Ottawa, trust is everything, and our clients’ words say it better than we ever could. From first-time renovators to whole-home transformations, homeowners across Ottawa consistently tell us the same thing: finally, a contractor who delivered exactly what they promised.
