We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Edisto 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 Edisto roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 29115 regularly, they already understand which Edisto permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Edisto scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
Full coverage on every job we run in Edisto, SC.
A real technician answers the Edisto line, any hour.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Edisto job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
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 Edisto, SC fire claims get partially denied.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Edisto 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.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Edisto homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Edisto permitting.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Nothing gets closed out until you've confirmed the work in person.

Paperwork built to match what Edisto, SC carriers actually ask for.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Edisto fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
