Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Redding so a technician can be walking your property within the hour, not scheduling you in for next week.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Redding area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Redding, CA fire claims get partially denied.

If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.
