Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Fort Meade technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 20755 regularly, they already understand which Fort Meade permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

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