Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Burlingame technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
