Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Plumas Lake technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 95961 regularly, they already understand which Plumas Lake permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
