Plantation Island is a small waterfront community just south of Everglades City along the Barron River. The median year of construction is about 1988, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. About 43% of housing units are mobile or manufactured homes (ACS 2018–2022). Low ground near the water in Plantation Island has taken storm surge in recent hurricanes. Much of Plantation Island is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.
What the Census says about Plantation Island housing
Plantation Island is about 33 miles southeast of Naples. Roughly 80% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; owners are often out of state when a neighbor's fire sends smoke into a unit. Median year built: 1988. That matters because older homes often have older wiring and more layers of paint and finish for soot to bond to. About 43% of housing units in Plantation Island are mobile or manufactured homes, where smoke moves quickly through compact floor plans.
Who pays, and who keeps the 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
- Wait for the fire department to release the scene.
- Leave soot alone. Wiping pushes it into surfaces.
- Do not run the AC; it carries soot through the ducts.
Our fire and smoke process
- Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
- Pull out the water from the hoses and dry walls, floors, and insulation.
- Remove soot with HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning chemistry for each surface.
- Take out burned or heavily smoked materials that will keep smelling.
- Deodorize at the end, never as a cover for residue, and only in empty spaces when ozone is used.

Common questions
Fire and smoke damage restoration questions in Plantation Island
What happens after a fire in Plantation Island?
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.
Why does soot need to be cleaned quickly?
Soot is acidic. On metal, stone, grout, and paint it starts to etch and stain, and the longer it sits the more has to be replaced instead of cleaned.
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.
