When smoke damage disrupts the comfort of your Sacramento home, reaching out to United Water Restoration Group of Sacramento Northeast is crucial for prompt and professional assistance. As soon as you call us at (916) 909-7500, our expert team will assess the situation and get to work restoring your property. Smoke damage can leave behind enduring odors and corrosive soot, compromising the integrity of your home and posing health risks. Our local expertise means we understand the specific challenges faced in areas like Roseville, Citrus Heights, and Carmichael. Whether it's a result of a kitchen mishap, electrical fire, or an unfortunate event in your neighborhood, we are here to provide responsive cleanup and restoration tailored to your needs, ensuring a return to normalcy as swiftly as possible.

Citrus Heights sits on the hinge of this territory. Southwest of here are the mid-century tract neighborhoods that run through Carmichael toward our office; north and east are the newer Placer County subdivisions of Roseville, Rocklin and Granite Bay. The two halves of that map fail in different ways and dry in different ways. A single-story home from the tract era usually hides its plumbing in a slab or a shallow crawl space and moves a leak sideways under the flooring long before a stain shows on a wall. A newer two-story build sends water down instead, from an upstairs laundry or bathroom through the ceiling. United Water Restoration Group of Sacramento Northeast works out of an Arden-Arcade office, the next neighborhood over from Carmichael, so the crew covering this corner of the county is driving a route it already knows. Call (916) 909-7500 at any hour.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Sacramento base at 2912 Edison Ave and cover all of Citrus Heights — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Citrus Heights or read more about smoke damage cleanup.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Assessment and Documentation

    We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the smoke damage, documenting affected areas and contents. This documentation is meticulous, using digital photos and written records, ensuring that you have all necessary information for your insurance company. This crucial step ensures that all damages are recorded for insurance purposes and sets a clear roadmap for restoration.

  2. 2

    Soot and Smoke Residue Removal

    Utilizing advanced cleaning methods, our team tackles wet, dry, and protein residues using chem sponges and specialized cleaners. This step is essential to prevent acidic soot etching and corrosion. Special attention is given to areas like bathrooms and kitchens where residues might mix with moisture, potentially causing secondary damage if not cleaned properly.

  3. 3

    Odor Neutralization

    Smoke odor is tackled with a combination of thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators, ensuring complete odor removal. Hydroxyl generators are particularly useful, as they allow for treatment in occupied spaces. Stain-blocking sealers are applied to prevent lingering odors, giving surfaces like walls and ceilings a fresh start.

  4. 4

    Electronics and Contents Cleaning

    Special attention is given to electronics which are evaluated for smoke damage. Through our pack-out service, items are professionally cleaned and restored in an ozone chamber, a controlled environment that helps remove smoke odor and residue, to return them to pre-damage condition. Delicate items like photos and documents receive specialized care to prevent further degradation.

  5. 5

    Structural Repairs and Final Checks

    Any structural repairs needed, such as wall and ceiling refurbishment, are completed with precision and care. We also conduct a thorough inspection post-restoration, checking for any overlooked details and ensuring a smoke-free environment. This final step includes testing air quality to verify that the home is safe and fully restored.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Citrus Heights homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
