“FastPro was at my house within the hour after a pipe burst in my basement. Their team was professional, quick, and kept me updated throughout the process. The cleanup was spotless and they even handled the insurance paperwork for me!”
“I recently had smoke damage in my home. Fastpro came out and dealt with my insurance company to get approval to clean and paint the entire house. Keith, Nick and Pat were a pleasure to work with. They were professional, responsive and reliable. And they all answer their own phones! My house now looks clean and fresh and is odor free.”
“Cannot speak highly enough of the Fastpro team. From their support of our multiple remediation projects to working on restoration they were extremely responsive, timely, diligent, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them on both fronts. Thanks to Anthony and Nick there for their help.”
“FastPro is a great company that not only does great work, he has a team that really delivers. I have had Nick Dema work on my home for a number of projects. He and his teammate Bill have done everything from remodeling my closet, finishing my basement, breaking out a wall in my bedroom, bathroom remodeling, and plumbing and heating work. Not only do they do exemplary work, but they are clean and reliable, and offer suggestions if my idea doesn’t work. Nick was involved in every aspect of the job from design, to making sure the workers were there, checking on clean up, stepping in when changes had to be made, as well as helping me pick out items that work into the remodel. All of the work always fell within the proposed time frame and price quoted. Bill was great asset to the team as well. He solved issues with obtaining supplies if the parts were missing or did not work, and on the fly could correct any flaws. He managed the team well when Nick was not on site.
Overall, the entire team from the workers to management did a fantastic job. I am proud to show off all of the remodel work that has been done as well as all the fixes they have done for me. I plan to have the team back to do further updates on my home..
I would recommend this team for any job you have. Five-Star service!!!!!!”

Once the fire department clears the property, make two calls: your insurance carrier to open the claim, and a certified restoration contractor to begin emergency services like tarping, board-up, stabilization, and initial loss documentation.
Do not throw anything away and do not start cleaning. Your adjuster may request to inspect any damaged content, and improper cleaning can drive soot deeper into surfaces. FastPro’s 24/7 hotline in Phoenixville, PA dispatches certified professionals who can be on-site within 90 minutes, depending on where you live.
FastPro dispatches a crew of certified professionals within about an hour and is typically on-site within 90 minutes across Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. Our hotline rings directly to our own Phoenixville call center, not a national franchise routing service, so there is no handoff between your call and your crew.
Because damage keeps compounding after the flames are out. Soot is acidic, and combined with firefighting water and dry chemical residue, it corrodes metal, etches glass and appliance finishes, and permanently stains porous materials within hours to days. Emergency board-up, tarping, water extraction, and dehumidification in the first few days determine how much of your home and belongings you can save.
Securing the structure against weather, intrusion, and further loss: boarding windows and doors, tarping damaged roofing and siding, containing affected areas to prevent cross-contamination, and eliminating safety hazards throughout the property.
Standard homeowners and commercial property policies may cover fire damage, including the smoke and water damage caused by fighting the fire. What varies is your deductible, contents limits, and whether the policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value. Your adjuster is ultimately the person who makes the coverage decision and approves any mitigation, contents, reconstruction or other restoration-related costs. FastPro writes estimates with an insurance-approved pricing software (Xactimate) and works daily with all major carriers, so the claim documentation we submit is in a format your adjuster is used to.
Yes. We document the entire restoration from the first insurance document through the day you walk back through your front door, photos, moisture and residue readings, scope of work, and contents inventory. We coordinate directly with your adjuster so you are not translating between contractors and carriers, and you stay the decision-maker throughout.
Timelines for fire damage mitigation are dependent on the extent of damage and insurance approvals. Minor losses generally run one to two weeks. Moderate damage with water intrusion and significant smoke penetration typically runs three to five weeks. Major structural losses requiring reconstruction can run six to twelve weeks or longer, depending on permitting and material lead times. These estimated timelines apply to mitigation, the first step in the restoration process. Insurance approvals can also affect this timeline, which is why we typically walk through the loss with your adjuster.
Far more is salvageable than most homeowners expect. We triage contents item by item, then route them to the right method: cleaning for hard goods, dry cleaning for clothing, specialized treatment for upholstery, and off-site storage while the structure is restored. Items we cannot restore are inventoried and documented for your claim before they are discarded.

Smoke travels where flames never reach. Residue moves through wall cavities and around door frames, settling in rooms and adjacent units that look completely untouched. A small, contained fire can still produce smoke and odor damage across an entire floor or building.
Usually not until the property has been assessed and cleaned. Smoke residue carries fine particulates and combustion byproducts that irritate the airways, and children, older adults, and anyone with asthma or heart or lung conditions are at highest risk. Treat any persistent smoke smell as an active exposure, not a nuisance, and get the property evaluated before reoccupying.
It can but it’s case by case depending on your coverage and the cause of loss. Your adjuster will review photos of the loss and may ask you how the fire started. They ultimately make coverage decisions and you should ask them if your loss would be covered under your insurance policy.
Because surface cleaning was done without source removal or deodorization. Odor molecules stay embedded in porous materials like drywall, insulation, carpet pad, upholstery, wood framing and in HVAC ductwork that redistributes them every time the system cycles. Real odor elimination requires removing or sealing the source and treating the air and contents, not masking with fragrance.
Four, and each demands a different cleaning method. Dry smoke from fast, high-temperature fires leaves a powdery residue. Wet smoke from slow, smoldering fires leaves a sticky, heavily smelling film. Protein residue from kitchen fires is nearly invisible but intensely odorous. Fuel oil soot from furnace failures is greasy and staining. Using the wrong method sets the residue permanently; the ANSI/IICRC S700 standard governs this classification.
A puff-back is a delayed ignition in an oil furnace or boiler that blasts oily soot through your ductwork and across every surface in the home. It is greasy, black, and spreads everywhere. Cleanup requires full HVAC and duct decontamination, specialized degreasing agents on hard surfaces, contents cleaning, and deodorization, plus service on the heating system itself so it does not recur.
The correct approach depends on the type of smoke residue, affected materials, extent of contamination, and occupancy conditions. Effective odor removal comes from cleaning the source first and using deodorization technology as part of the overall restoration process—not as a replacement for cleaning.
Yes, and often after the visible cleanup is finished. Soot is acidic and conductive, so it corrodes circuit boards, contacts, and wiring and can cause failures weeks or months later. Do not power on affected electronics. We document and evaluate them during contents triage and specify professional decontamination or replacement for your claim.
Most can. Smoke-affected clothing responds to specialized dry cleaning and upholstered furniture to controlled cleaning and deodorization. Ordinary home laundering usually fails; it sets odor and can fix staining permanently. Bring items to us before washing them, and we will triage what is restorable and document what is not.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to the FastPro team!
