We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Ivey 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 +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Ivey roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 31031 regularly, they already understand which Ivey permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We also keep a running photo log for every Ivey job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Ivey, GA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Ivey properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Ivey loss from spreading further.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Ivey homes.

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
