Once the engine company leaves, you are standing in a room of wet, black wreckage: sagging drywall, soggy carpet, melted fixtures and ash coating everything. Call Unify Fire Solutions and our dispatchers connect you with an independent, licensed and insured cleanup crew in Spiro that bags the debris, tears out what cannot be saved and leaves the room a clean, documented shell ready for rebuild.

Why Homeowners Call Us for Fire Damage Cleanup
Clearing a burned room is not a job for a rented shop vac and a free afternoon. Wet ash is caustic, the drywall is heavy and full of nails, and every bag you carry out is a piece of evidence for your claim. Here is what you get when you dial our line.
Licensed & Insured Independent Pros
Every crew we refer is an independent, licensed and insured contractor, not a day-labor outfit with a pickup. Ask for the license and a certificate of insurance before tear-out begins, and ask if they work to the IICRC S700 fire and smoke standard.
A Written Estimate Before Tear-Out
Nobody should start ripping out cabinets on a handshake. The contractor walks the loss, measures square feet of drywall and carpet, counts linear feet of base cabinet and estimates dumpster loads. You get a written, line-item estimate before work starts, and you can send a copy straight to your adjuster.
Rapid Local Dispatch
The line is answered 24/7, and dispatch starts while you are still on the phone. We reach for crews working near Spiro first. Arrival depends on crew availability and distance, and it is often the same day.
The Right Gear for a Burned Room
Fire cleanup is filthy, hazardous work, and the gear shows it. Expect half-face or full-face respirators with P100 cartridges, Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves, HEPA vacuums, negative air machines, 6-mil poly sheeting with zipper doors, flat bars, and heavy contractor bags rated for nails and broken glass.
Do not start shoveling before the fire marshal releases the property and the power company confirms the service is safe. Wet ash can irritate skin, eyes and lungs, so keep children and pets well away from the burned area.
Dedicated Fire Damage Cleanup Solutions
The goal is simple: get the ruined material out, keep everything that can be cleaned, and hand you back a room that smells like nothing. These are the jobs the independent crews in our network handle most.
Labor and dump fees drive most of the bill, which is why a careful sort at the start can save a lot on the claim. Cabinet doors that only needed a wash should not be the first thing thrown on the pile. Ask the contractor to walk you through what stays and what goes before the first bag is filled.
Debris and Ash Removal
Crews shovel and bag the wet ash, collapsed ceiling, burned furniture and charred trim, then carry it out on a protected path.
- Roll-off dumpster sized to the job (10, 20 or 30 yard)
- Plywood under the dumpster to protect the driveway
- Floor runners from the burned room to the door
Selective Demolition
Drywall is cut back past the char and the wet line to a clean edge, usually to the next stud or seam. Wet insulation, carpet and pad, vinyl plank and burned base cabinets go out with it.
- Cut lines measured and photographed
- Electrical left untouched for the electrician
- Fasteners pulled so the framing is ready to inspect
Salvage Sorting and Photo Records
Before anything goes in the dumpster, items are split into salvageable and non-salvageable piles and photographed. Ask for room-wide photos, close-ups with a tape for scale, and an itemized list that lines up with the pictures.
- Carpet and pad samples held until the adjuster signs off
- Brand and model labels photographed on appliances
- Disposal receipts kept for the file
Poly Walls, HEPA Vacuuming and Wipe-Down
Poly sheeting and a zipper door seal the burned rooms off, and a negative air machine keeps ash from drifting into the clean side of the house. Dry ash comes off with a HEPA vacuum before anything gets wet, then a chemical sponge and a damp wipe, always working from ceiling down to floor.
Kitchen Grease Fire Cleanup
Grease fires coat the kitchen in a tacky brown residue and usually wreck the range hood and the uppers over the stove. Crews pull the burned uppers, haul out ruined appliances and spoiled food, and degrease what stays.
- Hood and duct checked for grease buildup
- Pantry and fridge contents photographed and bagged
Garage Fire Cleanup
Garage fires are their own animal: gas cans, paint, pool chlorine, pesticides, a burned vehicle and a wall of melted tools. Hazardous containers are pulled aside for proper disposal, and any vehicle stays put until the auto adjuster has seen it.
- Tools photographed for the contents claim
- Slab swept and HEPA vacuumed when cleared

Assessment and Written Quote
They check how high the hose water wicked with a moisture meter and read the char line to set the cut height. Before work starts, you receive a written, line-item estimate for tear-out, disposal, dumpsters and wipe-down.

What Spiro Callers Told Us Afterward
Our dispatchers check in after each job, and these are some of the replies.
The pan caught, the hood went up, and by the time it was out the uppers were black and the whole kitchen was sticky. The crew pulled the uppers, bagged the pantry and degreased everything else. They saved the lower cabinets, which made the adjuster happy.
After a bedroom fire in one of my rentals, the unit was a black, wet mess. The crew photographed every piece of furniture before it went out and gave me a list my insurer accepted without a single question. Three days later it was bare studs and a clean slab.
Our garage fire melted my husband's entire tool wall and left paint cans and pool chlorine everywhere. They kept the chemicals out of the dumpster and did not touch the car until our auto insurer had looked at it.
The living room carpet was soaked from the hoses and the whole house smelled like a campfire. They sealed the room off with plastic, ran an air machine and pulled the carpet and pad the same afternoon. The written estimate matched the final bill.
Fire Damage Cleanup Questions We Hear Every Week
Should I throw out burned things before the adjuster sees them?
Hold off. Take photos of everything and keep the damaged items until your adjuster releases them. If an item is rotting or dangerous, such as food or a soaked mattress, shoot photos with a tape for scale, write down the brand and model, then let it go. Keep a small cut sample of carpet and pad as proof of quality.
How big a dumpster does a fire cleanup usually need?
A single burned bedroom often fits in a 10 or 20 yard roll-off, while a kitchen fire with cabinets, appliances and wet drywall usually needs a 20 or 30 yard. Wet drywall and plaster are heavy, so weight limits matter as much as volume. Make sure the estimate spells out the container size and the number of hauls.
Why do crews cut the drywall higher than the burn marks?
Two reasons: water and smoke. Fire hose water climbs the gypsum above the visible stain, and smoke gets into the paper and the wall cavity. Crews check with a moisture meter and cut to a clean line at a stud or seam so the patch is easy to hang later.
Is it safe to stay in the house while the tear-out is happening?
It depends on how much of the house burned and whether the power and HVAC are safe to run. A single-room job with proper poly walls and negative air often lets a family keep using the rest of the house. Leave the system off until someone inspects the ducts, and talk it through with the crew lead.
What happens to paint cans and chemicals after a garage fire?
Those containers do not belong in the dumpster. Heat-damaged gas cans, paint, solvents, pool chlorine and pesticides can leak, react or flare, so crews separate them and send them to a household hazardous waste site or a licensed hauler. Ask the contractor to explain their disposal plan up front.
Will my insurance pay for debris removal and tear-out?
Many policies cover debris removal under dwelling coverage, though each policy sets its own limits, so check with your agent. The thing that moves a claim along is good paperwork: photos, an itemized list, measurements and a line-item estimate. You decide what to sign and how the claim is handled.
