Who We Are

Why Portsmouth Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

We opened in the Portsmouth area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Working the 45662 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Portsmouth code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Portsmouth, OH, and our Portsmouth jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.

Don't Wait On These

Signs A Portsmouth Property Needs Fire Damage Removal Today, Not Next Week

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

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

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

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

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

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Portsmouth homes.

Our Guarantee

Our Written Guarantee, Not Just A Sales Line

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.

Single Point Of Contact

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 Portsmouth inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
