We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Oak Island properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Oak Island area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
