We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Dunnavant 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 Dunnavant roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 35094 regularly, they already understand which Dunnavant permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Dunnavant, AL, and our Dunnavant jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.
Full coverage on every job we run in Dunnavant, AL.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

We also keep a running photo log for every Dunnavant 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.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
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.
Dunnavant, AL insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Dunnavant 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.

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.
One coordinator manages your Dunnavant job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
