Even small fires can generate a significant amount of smoke, leaving behind soot and odors that seep into your carpets, upholstery, clothing, and other porous materials. If you’re planning on selling your Arnold and Festus, MO, and surrounding areas, home or renting out your office space, it’s essential to eliminate any traces of past smoke damage.
Fire and smoke damage is considered one of the most devastating and harmful types of disasters that can wreak havoc on a home. However, many people fail to realize that it’s not the flames themselves that result in the most damage—it’s often the smoke and soot residue that linger after the fire that create lasting harm. These corrosive byproducts settle into affected materials, severely compromising their structural integrity over time. As a result, fire damage restoration becomes crucial in preventing further or even permanent damage.

"Nick was absolutely amazing! He was the only company to come in my home and respectfully bid the job in a matter of minutes. He thoroughly broke down the important factors that needed addressed and answered all of my questions I had the day of the initial bid. The crew and himself used all proper containment needed to ensure my home was not damaged further by any demo they had to perform. After the job was complete, he has since returned correspondence and double checked to ensure I was happy with the completed work they had performed. They are the most professional and customer appreciative company I have come in contact with. I RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE CLEANING AND RESTORATION LLC. TO EVERYONE WITH A 5 ☆ RATING. they are great!"
Review by Matthew Bales
"Nick and his worker were fantastic in finding my burst pipes in the dry wall, cleaning the water damaged areas, and going above and beyond to take care of what needed to be done. He went to multiple stores to get needed parts and lit my pilot light in my water heater (which I didn’t even think of as a necessary fix). Highly recommend their services."
