Fire Damage Restoration in Crofton, MD
Because of the significant damage, they can cause in such a short time, fires continue to be one of the most feared natural disasters. Whether a fire occurs in your home or business, you, your property, and your work are in severe danger.
Clearing out the building and contacting the fire department are the most essential tasks to execute, but it’s important to remember that simply extinguishing the fire only stops the initial and primary cause of damage. As a result of the fire, corrosive byproducts, smoke, and soot linger and may lead to secondary damage until restoration occurs.
For this reason, it’s important to reach out to a disaster restoration team experienced with fire damage repairs.
After the fire department has extinguished the fire in your home or building in Crofton or the surrounding areas, contact Top To Bottom Renovation to get in touch with our experts for professional fire damage restoration and smoke mitigation services.
Our fire restoration experts will fix the damage caused by the flames and will contain and restore what has been damaged by any lingering byproducts.
Why Fire Damage Restoration Needs to Happen Fast
Spotting a fire in your home or building is a frightening sight, so for it to be extinguished is a relief.
However, most people are unaware that, even after the fire is out, your property is still susceptible to harm from corrosive byproducts, smoke, and soot.
The high temperatures from the fire cause synthetic materials to form corrosive byproducts that terribly burn and discolor all materials and surfaces they affect.
Smoke and soot are just as damaging. Smoke can be absorbed by several building materials and leave behind an ever-present odor.
Meanwhile, soot’s damage is similar to that of corrosive byproducts in that it can result in etching and tarnishing.
If smoke- and soot-affected materials are not immediately cleaned correctly and restored, they can become permanently damaged.

Our fire restoration technicians at Top To Bottom Renovation are thoroughly trained and qualified to handle all fire damage scenarios in commercial and residential settings.

Our fire damage repair services in Crofton, MD consist of four simple steps:

Fire Damage Repair — What to Do:
- Once the fire department leaves your home or building, contact Top To Bottom Renovation to start the cleanup, repairs, and restoration immediately.
- If the temperature is above 60 degrees, air out your property by opening all windows and doors.
- Wipe away any soot on aluminum, chrome, Formica, and porcelain surfaces.
- If your furnace uses forced hot air, change its air filter.
- Using a dampened cheesecloth, cover every return and supply register to help filter soot from the air.
- Throw away all exposed food.
- If your home has lost power, clean the inside of your refrigerator.
Set aside any clothing items and other fabrics that have been affected by smoke, so they can be clean using specialized dry-cleaning services.
Fire Damage Repair — What NOT to Do:
- Do not come into contact with drywall, upholstery, wood, and other porous materials; your hands have natural oils that can worsen any damage.
- Do not try to clean soot or remove any soot damage from walls; unsuitable cleaning techniques can worsen the damage.
- Do not clean any carpeting or upholstery.
- Do not use your electrical appliances unless they are deemed safe to use.
If your home or building’s ceiling is wet, do not use ceiling fixtures.

“Great restoration company!!! This is an exceptionally professional, knowledgeable company. I was frantic and completely lost when my husband discovered that our basement was flooded. I called at lease six restoration companies. The average appointment was a week out or more. My insurance company told me to do everything to prevent further damage but they could not authorize a contractor payment until I was assigned an adjuster. I found this company on my insurance’s website and they were able to be at my house in a very short period of time. They came prepared and ready to work. Mr. Johnson told me exactly what to expect through the entire process from his company. I signed a contract to get the water extracted immediately. The insurance inspector came while this company was working on the first day. Mr. Johnson and the adjuster worked independently in harmony for each of their respective areas of expertise. I highly recommend this company. I can’t say enough about the high quality of service that was provided. All of the workers were professional and focused as well as easy to approach. The pink van showed intentional branding and purposeful direct advertising. All the Best. Mrs. M Upper Marlboro”Delcine Conway, Happy Customer
- “I have had nothing but a great experience with Top to Bottom. Fred and his team came in on an holiday and quickly addressed my water issues.

- “Phenomenal! Top To Bottom is highly exceptional from the quality of work to professionalism. The water heater went up in my house and flooded the entire basement. I called the company, the first thing Mr. Fred did was walked me through the insurance process, as this was my first time dealing with a flood and filing an insurance claim, his assistance put me at ease. The team arrived at 1am for the water damage restoration. Mr. Fred and his son went above and beyond to make a difficult situation extremely easy. They were available and responsive with the insurance company requests and needs. The renovation for the basement took about 3 weeks as there were 4 rooms that needed to be restored. They were in consistent communication with me every step of the way either by phone or email. After every room was complete Mr. Fred’s son would come, review what the contractors completed to ensure we were satisfied with the job. You can’t ask for better quality and professionalism. The basement looks better now than it did before the water damage. Again this company and works are Phenomenal! I will definitely refer there services to family and friends. Look out for the Pink van and Pink sheets!”
