Birmingham's fire-restoration market is small — 11 firms passed our gate, and every one is listed with its real review record. Mold appears thirty-four times in this corpus, extraordinary for a fire market: Alabama humidity turns firefighting water into a second emergency faster than the soot settles.
"Responsiveness" and "trustworthy" lead the themes, and ductwork inspection appears — smoke odor in HVAC is a recurring subject. With a compact market, the top three carry most of the review weight. Ask how dryness is verified before rebuild, whether mold prevention is base scope, and whether duct treatment is included.

Fire losses are priced by how far smoke, heat and firefighting water traveled — the fire itself is often the smaller part of the bill. Nearly every serious fire job includes a water job: what the hoses soaked is on a mold clock within days.
| Damage level | Typical scope | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Minor — smoke & soot | Cleaning, deodorizing, repaint; no structural work | $2,000 – $8,000 |
| Moderate — room + water | Teardown, dry-out of firefighting water, rebuild of affected rooms | $8,000 – $30,000 |
| Major — structural | Reconstruction, full contents pack-out, temporary housing | $30,000 – $100,000+ |
What to do after the fire is out — before and while a restoration crew is on the way.
Don't re-enter until the fire department clears the structure. Heat-weakened floors and damaged wiring injure more people after the fire than the fire does.
Fire is a covered core peril on essentially every homeowners policy. Ask about board-up coverage and Additional Living Expenses — the hotel tonight may be reimbursable.
Document every room before cleanup. Don't wipe soot — the wrong technique smears it permanently — and don't run the HVAC, which spreads soot through the house.
Everything the hoses soaked is on the same 24–48h mold timeline as a flood. Drying starts now, not after the adjuster's visit.
