Your Northwood Hills Fire Damage Restoration Crew
WPB Fire Damage Restoration in Northwood Hills is the fire and smoke restoration service that handles board-up, soot removal, structural repair, and rebuild for homes and businesses from Broadway south to the Palm Beach Lakes corridor. We know this neighborhood block by block: the 1920s wood-frame bungalows near the Northwood Hills Historic District, the mid-century block homes off 45th Street, and the small commercial buildings along the Australian Avenue industrial edge. Fire behaves differently in each. Old heart-pine framing chars deep and holds smoke odor for months; concrete block wicks soot into the pores and needs chemical sponges, not just a wipe-down. We bring thermal imaging cameras to find hidden fire damage behind walls, moisture meters to catch water from firefighting, and HEPA vacuums to pull fine soot out of ductwork before it recirculates. Our IICRC FSRT and OCT certified technicians write Xactimate-compatible scopes so your adjuster sees line items they recognize. If you have had a kitchen fire, an electrical fire, or a roof fire, call and we will be on your street today.
Explore Northwood Hills services
WPB Fire Damage RestorationNorthwood Hills sits in a pocket of West Palm Beach where the housing stock is older than most of the county. That means more knob-and-tube wiring, more original plaster, and more wood framing that burns hot and fast. We serve this neighborhood because the demand is real and the work is specific. A fire in a 1940s bungalow is not the same job as a fire in a 2005 townhouse, and the crews that treat them the same leave smoke odor behind. We also serve the small businesses along the Northwood Road commercial strip and the multi-family buildings near the Palm Beach Lakes corridor, where a single kitchen fire can push smoke through shared HVAC into a dozen units.

If you are searching for a fire damage restoration company in Northwood Hills that can take a job from the first phone call to the last coat of paint, we do that under one roof.
01
Emergency Fire Damage Restoration
When a fire breaks out in Northwood Hills, we roll within the hour. Our crew secures the property, shuts off utilities if needed, and starts emergency stabilization so the damage stops spreading. We work the older wood-frame homes near the historic district and the block homes off 45th Street with the same urgency, because smoke keeps moving through a house long after the flames are out.
0224/7 Fire Damage Cleanup
Fires do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Northwood Hills crews answer calls at 2 a.m. for kitchen fires, electrical fires, and roof fires. We arrive with board-up materials, extraction equipment, and air scrubbers so the cleanup starts the same night. That first night of work is what keeps smoke odor from settling into drywall and insulation.
03Residential Fire Damage Restoration
Most of our Northwood Hills work is residential, and most of it is in homes built between 1925 and 1975. Those houses have plaster walls, original framing, and attic spaces that trap smoke. We restore them room by room, from the charred framing in the wall cavity to the contents in the closet. You get a full scope, a clean house, and a rebuild that matches what was there before.
04Commercial Fire Damage Restoration
A fire in a Northwood Road storefront or an Australian Avenue warehouse costs more than the structure. It costs revenue. We work commercial fire losses in Northwood Hills on a schedule that gets you back open, handling board-up, soot removal, HVAC cleaning, and rebuild. We coordinate with your property manager and your insurer so the paperwork does not slow the work down.
05Smoke Damage Removal
Smoke travels through a Northwood Hills house faster than the fire does. It pushes into closets, cabinets, and the cold-air returns of your HVAC system. We remove smoke residue from every surface it touched, using soot sponges on walls and ceilings, HEPA vacuums on soft goods, and air scrubbers to pull particles out of the air. If smoke got into the ductwork, we clean that too.
06Soot Removal and Cleaning
Soot is oily, and it stains anything porous it lands on. In Northwood Hills homes with original plaster, soot sinks into the surface and needs chemical sponges and dry-cleaning methods, not a wet rag. We match the cleaning method to the surface, whether that is painted drywall, unpainted brick, or wood trim. Get it wrong and you smear the stain deeper.

How We Execute Fire Damage Restoration in Northwood Hills
Northwood Hills is a neighborhood of older homes, narrow streets, and mature trees, and that shapes how we run a fire damage restoration job here. Most of the housing stock was built before 1970, which means original wir
Older wood-frame homes with original wiring
Electrical fires in pre-1960 Northwood Hills homes often start inside walls, so the damage is hidden until we open the cavity. That means more exploratory demolition and a longer assessment phase. It also means the fire has more fuel to work with, so the char is usually deeper than it looks from the outside. How we help: We run thermal imaging cameras across every wall of the affected area before we cut. That tells us where the heat traveled and where the char actually is, so we open only what needs opening. We then repair the wiring to current code and rebuild the wall with new drywall and insulation.
Narrow streets and tight driveways limit equipment access
Some Northwood Hills blocks have driveways that will not fit a box truck, and street parking is limited. That slows down equipment staging and can add time to the setup. It also means we have to plan hose runs and power access before we arrive. How we help: We stage on the street and run equipment by hand when we have to. Our crews carry long hose runs and extension cords for exactly this situation. If a job needs a dumpster, we coordinate with the City of West Palm Beach for a right-of-way permit so it does not block the street.
Summer humidity slows structural drying
Palm Beach County humidity runs high from May through October, and a fire leaves a Northwood Hills home full of water from firefighting. In that climate, wet drywall and framing can grow mold in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Drying has to start the same day. How we help: We extract standing water immediately, then set dehumidifiers and air movers to pull moisture out of the structure. We monitor with moisture meters daily and do not stop until the readings match a dry standard. If mold has already started, we remediate it before the rebuild.
Smoke spreads through shared HVAC in multi-family buildings
Several Northwood Hills properties near the Palm Beach Lakes corridor are multi-family buildings with shared ductwork. A single kitchen fire can push smoke into a dozen units through the HVAC system, turning a one-unit loss into a building-wide odor problem. How we help: We shut down the system, clean the ductwork, replace filters, and treat each affected unit. We use hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment to neutralize odor in the air and on surfaces. We also document the spread for the property owner's insurance claim.

FAQs About WPB Fire Damage Restoration in Northwood Hills
A real dispatcher is available if your question is not answered here.
Call +15615627610How much does fire damage restoration cost in Northwood Hills?
Most small kitchen fires in Northwood Hills run $3,500 to $8,000 for cleanup and minor repair. A whole-house fire with structural damage can run $40,000 to $120,000 or more. The biggest cost drivers are how far the smoke traveled, how much water the fire department used, and whether the framing needs repair. We write Xactimate-compatible scopes and bill your insurance directly whenever possible.
How fast can you get to my Northwood Hills home after a fire?
We can be on-site within 30 to 60 minutes for most Northwood Hills addresses. We answer calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The first thing we do is secure the property with board-up and roof tarping, then start water extraction and soot removal. Getting there fast is what keeps a small fire from becoming a mold problem.
Do you handle insurance claims for fire damage in Northwood Hills?
Yes. We document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and air quality tests, then write an Xactimate-compatible estimate your adjuster will recognize. We communicate directly with your carrier and handle the back and forth so you do not have to. That usually means fewer delays and fewer denied line items on your claim.
Can you remove smoke odor from my Northwood Hills home?
Yes, and we do it by removing the source, not masking it. Smoke residue is trapped in drywall, insulation, and framing. We clean those surfaces with soot sponges and specialized cleaners, then run hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment to neutralize what is left. We also clean the HVAC ductwork so the system does not blow the smell back into your house.
What should I do right after a fire in my Northwood Hills home?
Get everyone out and call 911 first. Once the fire department clears the scene, call us at +15615627610. Do not run your HVAC system, because it will spread soot through the house. Do not wipe soot off walls with a wet rag, because it smears the stain deeper. We will handle the rest, starting with board-up and water extraction.
