Fast, Reliable Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Across Stone Mountain
Fire damage in Stone Mountain rarely stops at the flames. Our crews have worked enough house fires in 30087 and 30088 to know that the real fight often starts in the crawl space, where fire-suppression water mixed with soot and old galvanized plumbing gave way. Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta responds to Stone Mountain homes around the clock with a live dispatcher, not a recording, and our certified technicians handle everything from Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration to structural repair and rebuild. If you’re standing in a smoke-damaged house right now, call (888) 832-2758 and a person will answer.
Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is Stone Mountain’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Stone Mountain homeowners have been calling us since Curt Bowman founded this company in 2010, and the reasons don’t change much from one job to the next. We answer the phone at 2 a.m. with a live dispatcher. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians who are certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. And we put the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we pack up a single piece of equipment. That promise, our Keystone Standard, means if it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork battles.
Our reputation in Stone Mountain is built on the unglamorous work: reading moisture maps after a kitchen fire in Ridge Forest, pulling soot out of ductwork in a split-level off Rockbridge Road, and drying a crawl space in 30088 that everyone else assumed was fine because the roof never burned. We’ll be there when we say, and the line the smoke and water left is where we start.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Stone Mountain
Fire Damage Cleanup
A typical fire damage cleanup in Stone Mountain runs $2,800 to $7,500 depending on the square footage and how far soot traveled through the house. In older split-levels, smoke from a kitchen fire gets pulled through the HVAC into upstairs bedrooms within minutes, which means cleanup isn’t just the burn room. Our crew removes charred materials, HEPA-vacuums every surface, and documents the damage with photos for your carrier before a single wall is opened.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Soot is acidic and it keeps working long after the fire is out. Stone Mountain homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often have textured ceilings and porous drywall that hold soot deep in the surface, and a quick wipe-down won’t touch it. We use professional-grade Dri-Eaz and XPOWER air scrubbers and specialized soot sponges to remove particulate from walls, ceilings, and trim before sealing. Expect $1,500 to $4,200 for a single-story ranch, more if the fire was in a central room that shared air with the whole house.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Smoke odor in a Stone Mountain home is rarely a surface problem. It hides in wall cavities, behind baseboards, inside ductwork, and in insulation. Our technicians use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators sized to the space, then verify with a post-treatment air sample. For a 1,800-square-foot split-level in 30087, full odor removal typically runs $1,800 to $3,900, and yes, it can be fully removed when the source material is cleaned or replaced, not just masked.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Smoke and soot settle on everything: clothes, dishes, furniture, books, electronics. We inventory, pack out, and clean contents at our facility using B-Air filtration and ultrasonic cleaning for items that can handle it. When contents can’t be cleaned on site because the home is too damaged or the odor is too heavy in the structure, a pack-out runs roughly $3,000 to $8,000 in Stone Mountain depending on volume. Every item gets a photo log and an itemized list for your adjuster.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Stone Mountain Homes
- Burst galvanized supply lines during fire suppression. Stone Mountain’s 1960s through 1980s homes were plumbed with galvanized steel, and the heat from a fire plus water pressure from suppression can rupture those lines. Homeowners focus on the fire and miss the soot-laden water now pooling in the crawl space until mold starts, which is why we moisture-map every level, not just the burn room.
- Soot drawn through older HVAC systems into every room. Split-levels and ranches in 30087 and 30088 predate modern filtration, and a fire in the kitchen means soot in bedroom closets. If the ductwork isn’t professionally cleaned and sealed, the smoke odor will return every time the system cycles.
- Crawl space water intrusion driven by the granite dome’s runoff. Stone Mountain’s granite dome sheets stormwater and fire-suppression water downslope into 30087 and 30088 subdivisions. Two neighbors on the same street can have completely different post-fire water intrusion depending on their micro-elevation, and a contractor who assumes flat-lot drying times will under-dry the crawl space in a sheet-flow path home.
- Missing vapor barriers under original hardwood and subfloor. Many Stone Mountain homes never had a vapor barrier installed in the crawl space, so when fire-suppression water sits under the house, it wicks up into framing and flooring for weeks. We remove the water, dry to the standard with daily readings, and document everything for your carrier.
Pricing for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Stone Mountain, GA
Here’s the straight answer, because you deserve one before you commit to anything. A small kitchen fire cleanup in a Stone Mountain ranch with light smoke and no structural damage: $2,500 to $5,000. A whole-house smoke and soot job in a split-level with ductwork cleaning and odor removal: $6,000 to $14,000. A fire with structural damage to joists, roof framing, or load-bearing walls: $15,000 to $45,000 or more, though that’s reconstruction and it’s priced in writing after inspection, not over the phone. What moves the number is square footage, how far soot traveled, whether the crawl space flooded, and whether contents need pack-out. We bill your insurance carrier directly so you’re not playing messenger, and every estimate is free. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll give you an honest range after walking the property.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Stone Mountain
Fire-suppression water has to go somewhere, and in Stone Mountain’s 1960s through 1980s homes, it runs through damaged floors and walls into the crawl space. The granite dome’s impervious surface also sheets runoff toward 30087 and 30088, so during heavy rain the same week as a fire, the crawl space can flood from outside too. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll inspect the crawl space as part of the fire damage assessment, not as an afterthought.
Yes, it can be fully removed, but only if the source material is cleaned, sealed, or replaced. Thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ductwork cleaning work when done thoroughly and verified with post-treatment air testing. If someone just sprays deodorizer and paints over the char, the odor will return in humid Stone Mountain summers. We stand behind our odor removal with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Call us and we’ll check your elevation relative to sheet-flow paths off the granite dome, along with the condition of your galvanized supply lines. Those original pipes ruptured under heat and pressure are a common culprit, but the dome’s stormwater runoff into 30088 subdivisions is the other. We’ll moisture-map the space, run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, and hand you a daily log until the dry standard is met. Call (888) 832-2758 for an immediate inspection.
After a fire, galvanized pipes that ran near the heat are often compromised even if they didn’t rupture, and repairing them section by section usually costs more than replacing the affected runs with PEX or copper. Our structural fire repair team will scope the plumbing as part of the rebuild quote, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a patch job will hold. The decision is yours, and it’ll be in writing before work starts.
A typical single-story ranch in Stone Mountain with moderate smoke and soot damage takes 3 to 7 days for cleanup, odor removal, and air-quality verification, assuming no structural repairs. If the crawl space flooded or joists are charred, add another 5 to 14 days for drying and structural work. We’ll give you a written timeline before we start and update you daily while work is underway. Call (888) 832-2758 for a free estimate and a straight answer about your specific house.
