 What To Do After a Fire: Fire Damage Restoration in Nixa, Missouri and Surrounding Areas

Experiencing a fire in your home is overwhelming — but you're not alone. At Clean Green Restoration, we specialize in helping homeowners in Nixa, Missouri and the surrounding areas recover from fire damage quickly, safely, and with compassion.

In this blog, we'll walk you through what to do after a house fire, how smoke and soot can affect your home and health, and what professional fire damage restoration looks like from start to finish.


Step One: Safety First

If you’ve recently experienced a fire:

  • Wait until fire officials say it's safe to re-enter your home.
  • Avoid touching soot-covered surfaces (oils from your skin can cause further damage).
  • Call your insurance company to start a claim.
  • Take photos of visible damage, but avoid disturbing the scene too much.

Once you're ready, call a trusted fire damage restoration company like Clean Green Restoration to begin the recovery process.


Why Smoke and Soot Removal Is Urgent

Smoke and soot don’t stop damaging your home once the fire is out. Here's why:

  • Soot is acidic and continues to deteriorate walls, ceilings, furniture, and electronics.
  • Smoke particles settle into fabrics, HVAC systems, and porous surfaces, causing ongoing odor and air quality issues.
  • Prolonged exposure can trigger asthma, headaches, eye irritation, or even long-term respiratory problems.

At Clean Green Restoration, our team is trained in professional smoke and soot removal, using industry-grade tools to clean, purify, and deodorize every affected area — including your air ducts.


What Fire Damage Restoration Includes

In Nixa and the surrounding 417 area, our fire damage services include:

  • Inspection and damage assessment
    We identify how far the fire, smoke, and soot have traveled and what can be salvaged.
  • Emergency board-up and structural stabilization
    To protect your home from further damage due to weather or vandalism.
  • Water extraction and drying (if sprinklers or hoses were used)
    Water damage is common after a fire — we handle both.
  • Smoke and soot removal
    Walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings are thoroughly cleaned with specialized equipment.
  • Odor removal and air purification
    We don’t mask odors — we eliminate them using ozone and HEPA air scrubbers.
  • Reconstruction and rebuild
    Whether it’s a small room or a full home restoration, we can handle the rebuild too.

What Our Clients Are Saying


"I was so stressed when we had a housefire because my husband travels for work and I was home alone with the kids. I called CGR and Miles came so quickly and walked me through my options and plan of action. His crew came in the next morning and got everything cleaned up and fixed. They honestly left it cleaner and better than before the fire! And even helped me with things they didn’t even have to do! I could go on and on about how amazing this company is! We are so grateful to Miles and CGR for helping us with this extremely stressful situation!"
