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 Aledo technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 61231 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Aledo code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Aledo scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Aledo, IL insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Aledo loss from spreading further.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Aledo jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Aledo permitting.

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
