Fire Damage Restoration is what we do every day, and in Citrus Heights that means reading the house first before touching anything. Written price before work. Shoe covers at the door. Drop cloths down before the first piece of equipment comes in. The damage is not your fault and the fix should not feel like a second disaster.

Why Tidemark Water Damage Sacramento Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred Fire Damage Restoration Company

We are an independently owned and operated location of the Cedarwell Care Promise, working to one standard in Citrus Heights: a written price first, pet-safe products, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that national franchises simply do not match. Rick Sumner leads our team, and he has walked more Citrus Heights slab homes than we can count. Fire restoration here is not like other cities. The same cast-iron drain lines that corrode for decades under Citrus Heights ranches can crack from fire heat, and suddenly what looked like clean firefighting water is something else entirely.

Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and credentialed through IICRC, RIA, and IFA. We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment, the same machines used by leading fire restoration specialists. And when the job is done, we take photos of the clean-up before we leave so you see exactly what was done and how the house was left.

Smoke Odor Removal in Citrus Heights

Smoke Odor Removal in Citrus Heights homes typically runs $1,200 to $3,400, and it starts with understanding why the smell lingers in the first place. The 1960s – 80s ranch homes across Citrus Heights share a problem: open-plan layouts with vaulted ceilings and thin interior walls that let smoke travel fast and settle deep. Smoke does not just sit on surfaces here. It moves through ductwork, into closets, behind baseboards, and into the porous gypsum that lines every bedroom wall.

Thermal Fogging and Sealing

After a kitchen fire near Rusch Park or a garage fire off Old Auburn Road, we contain the affected rooms first, because running standard air movers in an open ranch pulls soot back into cleaned spaces and undoes the work. Then we run thermal fogging to neutralize odor particles and seal the stud cavities with an odor-blocking primer before paint ever goes on. That step gets skipped by less careful crews, and the homeowner repaints and still smells smoke every time the heater kicks on.

Duct and Content Cleaning

Smoke odor also lives in your HVAC ducts and in the clothes, books, and furniture that absorbed it. We clean or replace duct runs where needed and coordinate pack-out of smoke-damaged contents for off-site cleaning. The goal is not masking the smell. It is removing the particles that carry it.

Fire and Water Damage Restoration in Citrus Heights

Fire and Water Damage Restoration in Citrus Heights often means dealing with two problems at once, because slab-on-grade homes have no crawlspace for firefighting water to escape into. That water sits on the concrete pad, wicks into drywall, and soaks into anything touching the floor. On 1960s – 80s ranches with original cast-iron drain lines, we routinely find that fire heat cracked a pipe under the slab, and what looked like clean fire hose water is actually contaminated. Ranges for combined fire and water restoration in Citrus Heights typically fall between $4,500 and $12,000 depending on how far the water traveled.

Classification Before Extraction

We classify the water before we extract it. In Citrus Heights, that means checking whether heat from the fire compromised the cast-iron lines below the slab. If cat 2 or cat 3 contamination is present, extraction and antimicrobial treatment happen before drying equipment ever goes down. A technician who skips this step leaves contamination sealed under the new flooring.

Drying the Slab, Not Just the Air

Concrete holds water longer than people expect. We place Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers directly on the slab and log moisture readings daily until the pad returns to pre-loss condition. Rushing this step is how you get mold under the new laminate six months later.

Common Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes

• Firefighting water pooling on slab foundations. No crawlspace means the water has nowhere to go. It sits against drywall and baseplates, and if the heat cracked the cast-iron drains, the water is contaminated before anyone mops a floor.
• Smoke odor buried in open-plan ranch layouts. Vaulted ceilings and shared wall cavities send smoke through the whole house fast. If containment is not set before drying starts, soot and odor get pulled back into rooms that were already cleaned.
• Secondary water intrusion through damaged shake roofs. A fire-damaged shake roof lets rain straight into the house after the fire trucks leave. Without a storm damage assessment, the interior gets re-wet right after restoration started.
• Original galvanized and cast-iron plumbing failing after heat exposure. Decades of hard-water corrosion in Citrus Heights supply and drain lines means a fire can be the final stress that cracks a pipe under the slab, weeks before it would have failed on its own.
