"The craftsmanship is top-notch. The custom cabinetry is flawless, the tile work is a work of art, and every detail was executed with precision. The crew was punctual, respectful of our home, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of every day. What we thought would be a stressful process was actually exciting. Our kitchen is now the heart of our home, and we find any excuse to be in it. If you are considering a kitchen remodel, look no further. We cannot recommend black water mold highly enough!"

"We had a water leak in a skylight and it caused water damage in the ceiling and adjacent walls. OCI Restoration was incredibly effective. They were at my house on short notice with a team of professionals. They were mindful of our furniture and belongings, and created barriers to protect the areas that had not been damaged. Their team was courteous, polite, and very responsive to our needs. They were able to settle everything with our insurance adjuster and made what could have been a difficult situation, very easy for me and my family. We will always be grateful to OCI."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Smoke smell can linger for months or even years and will not go away on its own once it’s penetrated into your walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. The particles that give smoke its distinctive smell can permeate every corner of your home and can take a very long time to dissipate. Your best bet to combat smoke smell is a combination of thorough cleaning, air purifying, and replacing heavily damaged materials.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.

Restoration timelines vary significantly, often taking weeks to several months, depending on the extent of the damage and the materials required.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.
