Melbourne Water Restoration Pros provides professional fire & smoke damage restoration in Melbourne, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Space Coast. Central Florida sits in the most lightning-prone corridor in the country, and the attic is where it lands. A strike that finds a gable vent, a plumbing vent or a roof-mounted antenna starts the fire above the ceiling, in the same assembly a roof leak would use.
Then the fire department puts water into it. By the time the truck leaves you have a fire loss and a water loss stacked in one place: charred rafters, soaked blown insulation, a ceiling that has taken hundreds of gallons from above, and smoke everywhere the attic breathes.
So the sequence runs both jobs at once. The structure gets stabilised and the roof opening gets tarped. Extraction and drying start immediately, because wet char grows mold as happily as wet drywall does. Soot cleanup waits until the assembly is stable enough to work inside safely.
Smoke behaves according to what burned. Protein smoke off a kitchen fire leaves a thin varnish that laughs at ordinary detergent and needs a solvent. A wiring or plastics fire leaves acidic residue that etches metal and glass within days, so appliance faces, window frames and fixtures get treated early rather than last.
Odour is the final stage and it is not a candle. Sealing cleaned framing, replacing the insulation the smoke lived in, and running a hydroxyl or ozone treatment in an unoccupied house is what actually ends it. Anything promising to remove smoke odour without removing the material holding it is a rental fee.
Contents get separated early on a fire job and the sorting is unforgiving. Porous items that held smoke — mattresses, pillows, open food, cosmetics — go out. Hard goods, framed art and metal get cleaned. Electronics that took soot go to a specialist rather than a rag, because the residue is conductive and the damage carries on long after the fire is out.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — neoprene pipe boots, OSB and plywood roof sheathing, blown fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation, self-adhered secondary water barrier, ridge and off-ridge vent flashing, penetrating pin moisture meters — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Melbourne and nearby communities including Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Indialantic.

Materials, equipment and how we do fire & smoke damage restoration
The difference between fire & smoke damage restoration that lasts and fire & smoke damage restoration that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with neoprene pipe boots, OSB and plywood roof sheathing, blown fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation, self-adhered secondary water barrier, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Melbourne job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of water damage work in the Space Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
