Fire Damage Restoration & Smoke Removal in Conyers, GA
A fire can devastate your home or business in minutes — but recovery starts with one call. Ellis Restoration Group's IICRC-certified technicians respond 24/7 to assess, secure, and fully restore your property from fire, smoke, and soot damage.
Full-Service Fire Damage Restoration You Can Count On
Fire damage goes far beyond what the flames touch. Smoke and soot travel through your entire structure, embedding into walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and belongings — and the water used to fight the fire creates its own damage. At Ellis Restoration Group, we handle every phase: emergency board-up, water extraction, soot and smoke removal, odor elimination, contents restoration, and full structural rebuild. One company. One call. Complete restoration.
Understanding Fire Damage
Not all fire damage is the same. The extent depends on the fire's source, intensity, duration, and the amount of water used to extinguish it. Our technicians categorize damage into three levels to develop the right plan of action.
Minor Fire Damage
Light to moderate smoke and soot contained to one area. Restoration includes dry/wet cleaning, deodorization, and minimal repainting. Few items need replacement.
Medium Fire Damage
Moderate smoke and soot requiring aggressive cleaning and deodorization. More surfaces need repainting. Heat has caused damage requiring repair or replacement of some materials.
Major Fire Damage
Severe damage to contents, finished surfaces, and structural framing. Smoke has infiltrated the majority of the building. Emergency board-up and roof tarping required. Contents moved off-site for cleaning.

Inspection & Assessment
We carefully inspect and test all affected areas to determine the extent of fire, smoke, and soot damage — and develop a detailed plan of action.
Board-Up & Roof Tarp
Fire often compromises windows, walls, and roofs. We board up openings and place tarps on damaged roofs to secure your property and prevent further damage.
Water Removal & Drying
Water from firefighting efforts is extracted immediately. We then use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to complete the drying process and prevent mold.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Using specialized equipment and techniques, we remove smoke and soot from all surfaces — ceilings, walls, floors, HVAC systems, and contents.
Cleaning & Sanitizing
We clean, deodorize, and sanitize all restorable surfaces and belongings. Contents are inventoried, packed out, and restored at our secure facility when needed.
Repairs & Reconstruction
We restore your property to pre-loss condition — replacing drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinetry, and painting as needed. One company handles it all.

What to Do After a Fire
Safety first. Follow these steps while waiting for our team to arrive.
What You Should Do
- Follow all guidance from fire department and first responders
- Call Ellis Restoration Group immediately — 229-299-3785
- Limit movement inside to prevent soot from spreading further
- Place clean towels on rugs and carpet traffic areas
- If electricity is off, empty the refrigerator and prop doors open

What You Should NOT Do
- Don't enter the structure until the fire department says it's safe
- Don't attempt to wash walls, painted surfaces, or shampoo carpet yourself
- Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet — wiring may be damaged
- Don't touch soot-covered items with bare hands — oils cause permanent staining
- Don't clean electrical appliances that were near fire, heat, or water
- Don't use canned or packaged food stored near the fire
- Don't send garments to a regular dry cleaner — improper cleaning sets smoke odor
