Who We Are

A Fire Damage Referral Line Run by People Who Know Burned Kitchens

Shree Sainath Fire Safety is a no-cost referral line that connects homeowners, landlords and business owners in Montgomery County with independent fire damage restoration contractors. We are not the contractor. Our job is narrower than that, and on the worst night of your year it counts: we answer the phone, listen to what happened, and route your call to a licensed and insured local professional whose crews take on fire, smoke and soot jobs week in, week out.

Most people calling us have never dealt with a fire before. They are standing in a driveway that smells like burned plastic, phone in hand, with caution tape still across the front door. The questions come fast: Is it safe to go back in? Should I open the windows? Who pays for this? Can the couch be saved? A good restoration contractor answers all of those on the first walkthrough, and getting you to that person quickly is the entire point of this line.

The contractors in the network working throughout Montgomery County run their own businesses. They hold their own licenses and insurance where required, set their own pricing, and answer for their own workmanship. Plenty of fire restoration crews train under IICRC standards, including the Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT) course, and you are welcome to ask any contractor about their training.

A single kitchen fire can call for board-up, extraction, soot cleaning, odor treatment and new drywall. When you call, tell us what you can see and smell, and we will route you to a contractor whose crew handles that mix. Anywhere in Montgomery County, that usually means a crew based within the county or just over the line.

Services Available Through the Network

Emergency Fire Board Up Services in Montgomery County County, IL

Every call is different, but most fire losses fall into the categories below.

01

24/7 Emergency Response, Board-Up and Roof Tarping

The first visit is about stopping things from getting worse. To fight a fire, crews often break windows and cut roof vents, and that leaves the property open to weather, animals and trespassers. Emergency crews cover openings with plywood or OSB, tarp the roof, and put up temporary fencing if the site is exposed.

  • Board-up of broken windows and doors
  • Roof tarping over ventilation cuts and burn-through
  • Water extraction from firefighting runoff
  • Initial photo documentation for your insurer
02

Home Fire Damage Cleanup and Removal

In a house, fire damage is rarely confined to one room. Heat cracks drywall, smoke travels through return ducts into bedrooms, and soot lands on everything from hanging clothes to the top of the fridge. Residential crews map damage room by room, decide what can be cleaned versus replaced, and tear out charred material until they reach sound framing.

Charred studs and joists are typically cleaned back by wire brushing, sanding or soda blasting and then sealed with a shellac-based primer that locks in odor. If the char runs deep enough to weaken a board, the contractor marks it for sistering or replacement before new drywall goes on. This is the step that keeps a smoke smell from returning two summers later.

03

Commercial Fire Damage Removal

For a business, every closed day costs money. Commercial restoration is mostly about phasing the work so part of the space reopens while crews keep going behind plastic containment. Contractors set up for commercial work can run night shifts, coordinate with property managers and adjusters, and document everything for business interruption coverage.

  • Restaurants and commercial kitchens with grease and protein residue
  • Retail, office and warehouse spaces
  • Multi-unit residential and rental properties
  • Sprinkler discharge cleanup alongside smoke damage

04

Soot Cleaning and Smoke Residue Removal

Not all soot is the same, and using the wrong method can make a cleanable wall unrecoverable. Dry soot from fast, hot fires of wood and paper vacuums and sponges off reasonably well. Wet soot from slow, smoldering plastics is greasy and smears. Protein residue from burned food is nearly invisible. Puff-back soot from an oil furnace is thick, black and oily.

A good crew tests a small area first, identifies the residue, and picks the cleaning chemistry to match. That might mean dry chemical sponges on flat paint, alkaline degreasers on kitchen cabinets, or dry ice blasting on exposed framing in an attic. Anything that will not come clean gets sealed or replaced.

05

Smoke Odor Elimination and Air Quality Restoration

Of everything a fire leaves behind, the smell is what homeowners underestimate most. Smoke particles are small enough to work into insulation, carpet pad, upholstery and duct interiors. Real deodorization happens in order: remove the source, clean what remains, then treat the air and structure.

  • HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne soot during work
  • Thermal fogging that mimics how smoke penetrated
  • Hydroxyl generators, which can run in occupied spaces
  • Ozone treatment in unoccupied rooms when appropriate
  • HVAC and duct cleaning so the system stops recirculating odor

Ozone is effective, but it is not safe for people, pets or plants, and it can degrade rubber and some fabrics. Ask the contractor which method they plan to use and why. If they give you a clear answer, that is a good sign.

How It Works

From Your First Call to a Clean, Livable Space

The sequence below is standard for fire restoration; the timeline depends on how big the loss is.

Call the Dispatch Line

Call +1-866-475-2701 any time. We ask what burned, whether the fire department has cleared the building, and whether there is standing water, then route you to an independent contractor who covers your area.

Secure and Stabilize

The contractor boards openings, tarps the roof, extracts water and starts air scrubbers to stop secondary damage.

Walkthrough and Written Estimate

A lead technician walks the property, identifies soot types, reads moisture levels and photographs each room. You get a written scope and price before cleaning or demolition starts.

Soot Removal and Odor Treatment

Damaged materials come out, salvageable surfaces get cleaned, and the structure and air are treated for odor. Contents can be packed out and cleaned off site.

Rebuild and Sign-Off

Drywall, paint, flooring and cabinets are replaced as needed, and you walk the space with the contractor before you sign off.

What to Know About Your Insurance Claim

The choice of contractor is usually yours, not your insurance company's. Your adjuster may recommend a preferred vendor; you can use them, though in most cases you are not obligated to. Ask any contractor whether they write estimates in Xactimate, the software most carriers use, because it tends to speed up approvals.

Customer Stories

Real Stories From People Who Called After a Fire

Some feedback from homeowners and business owners who used the referral line. Each one hired an independent contractor, and outcomes vary with the property and the contractor.

Our kitchen fire started with a pan of oil. The fire department was gone by midnight and I called this number at 12:30. A crew had plywood on the back door and two air scrubbers running before 3 a.m.. They saved the cabinets with a degreaser I had never heard of, and you would not know there was a fire.

Renee D.Homeowner, Montgomery County, IL

What got to me was the smell. A smoldering garage fire pushed odor through the ducts into every bedroom. The contractor walked me through why the ducts came first and the fogging came second. Three weeks later the house smells like a house again.

Marcus T.Homeowner, Montgomery County, IL

I manage a strip of retail units. A fire in one tenant space pushed smoke into the two neighboring units. The contractor I was connected with worked nights so the other tenants could stay open, and the paperwork they gave our carrier was thorough.

Priya S.Property manager, Montgomery County, IL

My father's house had an oil furnace puff-back. There was black film on every wall, every lampshade and every curtain. I honestly thought he would lose everything inside. The crew packed out his contents, cleaned most of it, and gave me a list of what could not be saved for the insurance claim.

Dana W.Family of homeowner, Montgomery County, IL

A hood fire shut down our small restaurant. The contractor phased the cleanup so the dining room reopened while the kitchen stayed under containment. That probably saved us more than a week of sales.

Common Questions

What People Ask Us After a Fire

How fast can a Emergency Fire Board Up crew arrive in Montgomery County?

Response time depends on the time of day, the size of the loss and how busy local contractors are. For emergency work, network contractors generally aim for same-day response and often arrive within a few hours. Dispatch can give you a realistic estimate on the call, before you agree to anything.

Do you provide upfront pricing?

The referral itself costs you nothing. After inspecting the damage, the independent contractor gives you a written estimate before starting work. Emergency services like board-up and extraction are sometimes priced on their own because they happen immediately.

What emergency services are available?

Contractors in the network commonly handle emergency board-up, roof tarping, extraction of firefighting water, temporary power and lighting, and air scrubbing to control airborne soot. Mention the specific services you need when you call.

Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage removal?

Standard homeowners policies usually cover sudden and accidental fire damage, including cleanup, deodorization and repairs, subject to deductibles and terms. Read your declarations page or call your agent to confirm. We are not an insurer and cannot interpret your specific policy.

How long does fire damage removal take?

A contained kitchen fire might take three to seven days of cleaning and deodorization. Larger fires needing demolition, drying and reconstruction can run from several weeks to several months. Your written scope should list an estimated timeline.

Can smoke-damaged clothes and furniture be saved?

Often, yes. Fabrics and clothing often respond well to restoration laundering plus odor treatment. Upholstered furniture depends on the fabric and how far the smoke penetrated. The contractor will tell you what is worth cleaning versus replacing.

Should I clean the soot myself before the crew arrives?

Better not. Damp cloths and household cleaners tend to smear soot further into paint and grout. Take photos, keep your hands off, and let the crew test the residue. You can change HVAC filters and keep pets and kids out of affected rooms.

Will the smoke smell come back?

It should not, as long as the source was removed and the structure was cleaned and sealed properly. Smell usually returns when charred wood was painted without a sealer, contaminated insulation stayed in a wall, or the ducts were never cleaned. It is worth asking the contractor how they will deal with each of those.

Is Shree Sainath Fire Safety the company that does the work?

No, and we want that to be clear. Shree Sainath Fire Safety is a free referral line that connects you with independent local restoration contractors. The contractor you choose is responsible for the work, the price, and their own licensing and insurance, and you should verify their credentials before work begins.
