Payson & Rim CountryFire damage is not one event - it is four. Flames are only the first. Soot, smoke odor, and suppression water continue to damage your home for days after the fire department leaves. Ekwall responds 24/7 across Payson, Star Valley, Pine, Strawberry, and the rest of Rim Country - securing the property, mitigating the damage, and rebuilding it - all under one licensed general contractor.
Emergency Fire And Smoke Damage Response
Because Ekwall is a licensed general contractor, one team handles every phase from emergency board-up through finished rebuild. You are not coordinating four different contractors during the worst week of your year.
- 24/7 emergency board-up and tarping
- Structural and safety assessment
- Water extraction and structural drying
- HEPA vacuuming, chemical sponges, dry-ice cleaning
- HVAC duct cleaning and air scrubbing
- Thermal fogging, hydroxyl, or ozone deodorization
- Full structural repairs and finished rebuild
Why The First 24 Hours Matter
Soot is acidic and bonds to surfaces within hours - it can permanently etch glass, metal, marble, and finished wood if left untreated. Smoke penetrates drywall, insulation, framing cavities, HVAC ducts, and even concrete. Suppression water settles in subfloors and wall cavities where mold can begin within 48 hours.
Acting in the first 24 hours is what keeps a small kitchen fire from becoming a six-month rebuild. We dispatch emergency crews around the clock, including holidays and middle-of-the-night calls.
