We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Nicollet properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Nicollet roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Nicollet, MN fire claims get partially denied.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Nicollet 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.
