Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our New Ulm technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 56073 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of New Ulm code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
New Ulm, MN insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
