Fire and smoke damage in Fruitville

In Fruitville, kitchen and electrical fires send smoke through open floor plans and into attics and ductwork. We board up, extract firefighting water, clean soot, and treat odor after the residue is gone.

Fruitville is a community east of Sarasota along Fruitville Road, near I-75. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 15,333 residents in Fruitville. The median year of construction is about 1989, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates.

Insurance and your claim

Your policy decides what is paid. We give your adjuster photos, a written scope, and a record of board-up and cleanup. We are not a public adjuster and do not take over your claim.

Before we arrive

  • Do not wipe soot; it smears and etches.
  • Do not run the AC; it carries soot through the ducts.
  • Change your clothes and wash your hands after walking through soot.

Our fire and smoke process

  1. Board up broken windows and doors and secure the property.
  2. Remove soot with HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning chemistry for each surface.
  3. Clean HVAC components before the system runs again.
  4. Deodorize at the end, never as a cover for residue, and only in empty spaces when ozone is used.
  5. Photograph and document everything for your insurer.

Common questions

Fire and smoke damage restoration questions in Fruitville

What happens after a fire in Fruitville?

After the fire department releases the scene, call (239) 688-2880. We board up, extract firefighting water, clean soot, wipe down HVAC components, and treat odor after residue is removed.

Do you handle commercial fire damage in Fruitville?

Yes. We clean soot, remove odor, dry firefighting water, and board up openings for offices, restaurants, and retail spaces in Fruitville, 24/7.

Who cleans up fire and smoke damage in Fruitville?

Aftermath Restoration Group handles fire and smoke restoration in Fruitville and across Sarasota County, 24/7. Call (239) 688-2880 for board-up, soot cleanup, odor removal, and drying of firefighting water.

Do you clean up the water from firefighting?

Yes. Hose water soaks drywall, insulation, and floors. We extract it and dry the structure along with the soot and odor work, so the fire does not turn into a mold job.

Can smoke odor be fully removed from a Fruitville home?

Only if the residue is removed, not masked. The process is structural cleaning, HVAC cleaning, HEPA filtration, and odor treatment at the end, with ozone used only in unoccupied spaces.
