We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Drew properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Drew roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Local experience in 38737 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Drew's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Drew scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Drew job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Drew, MS fire claims get partially denied.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Drew properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
We rebuild to Drew, MS code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Nothing gets closed out until you've confirmed the work in person.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Trucks staged near 38737 mean faster arrival than a crew driving in from another city.
Paperwork built to match what Drew, MS carriers actually ask for.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Drew inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
A freezer fire in our garage started around 2am, and the crew had the side door boarded up before the fire department even wrapped up their report. — Homeowner, Drew
We'd tried two other cleaning companies on the smoke smell in our rental with no luck. Meridian Smoke Damage's fogging treatment actually solved it. — Landlord, Drew
They dealt with our adjuster directly so we didn't have to play messenger between two companies. Reconstruction took about five weeks and the trim work came out better than the original. — Homeowner, Drew, MS
Our Drew bakery had a fire in the back kitchen on a Sunday morning. Meridian Smoke Damage phased the rebuild so the front counter reopened within ten days. — Business Owner, Drew
What stood out most was that the invoice matched the original written scope down to the dollar, with nothing added along the way. — Homeowner, Drew, MS
We never had an actual fire, just smoke migration from a neighboring unit, but the crew still fully treated our space and eliminated the odor. — Tenant, Drew
Usually within the hour in Drew, since our trucks are staged near 38737 rather than dispatched from another region.
Always. No work starts on your Drew property until you've approved a written number.
Emergency stabilization services run 24/7, including holidays.
We can speak with your adjuster directly and answer their questions on your behalf.
Light odor can clear in a day; whole-house fogging with HVAC treatment often runs two to four days.
It depends on the material — we inspect item by item before deciding what's salvageable.
We're bonded and licensed to perform this work in Drew and across Drew, MS.
Depends on the scope; we'll give you an honest answer once we've inspected the Drew property.
Ideally within a few hours; both soot damage and water damage compound quickly.
Mitigation stabilizes the property — extraction, board-up, soot removal — while reconstruction rebuilds what's damaged.
Job size doesn't matter — the same process applies whether it's one room or the whole structure.
Absolutely — a neighboring fire can still leave your unit needing odor and soot treatment.
We back reconstruction work with a one-year workmanship guarantee, in writing, on every Drew job.
Our Drew coverage extends into the surrounding zip codes, and we can call in additional Drew, MS crews during major storm or fire events that stretch local capacity.
If your address falls just outside this radius, call anyway — we can often still arrange coverage through a nearby Drew, MS crew.
