Who We Are

A Licensed Iota Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

Every technician on our Iota roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Working the 70543 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Iota code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Iota scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Licensed & Insured

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Iota line, any hour.

III

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

We also keep a running photo log for every Iota job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Iota Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Iota, LA fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Iota 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.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Iota

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Structural Rebuild

Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Iota inspectors.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
