If the wildfires reached your home, we're here to help.
We're a local mitigation team based in Savannah, helping South Georgia families recover from smoke, soot, and fire damage. No pressure, no pitch — just straightforward help from people who live and work in this region too.
What to Do First, Even Before You Call Anyone
You don't need EPR — or anyone — to do most of these. We're sharing them because they protect your home and your insurance claim. The goal is to help.
Don't Rush Back Into an Affected Home
Even if it looks intact, smoke and soot can leave the air and surfaces unsafe. Wait for an all-clear from local officials.
Keep Your HVAC System Off
Running it pulls soot through your ducts and spreads contamination into rooms that may have been spared.
Document Everything Before Cleaning
Take wide photos and close-ups of every room, surface, and damaged item. This protects your insurance claim later.
Avoid Wiping Soot With Water or Regular Cleaners
Soot smears and bonds. Wiping it the wrong way can permanently stain walls, fabrics, and finishes that could otherwise be restored.
Call Your Insurance Carrier
Open a claim and write down your claim number, adjuster name, and direct phone line. Keep it somewhere easy to find.
Then Call a Mitigation Team You Trust
That can be us, or it can be someone else. The important thing is getting trained eyes on your home before damage sets in.
What EPR Actually Does
Plain-language descriptions of the services we provide on a wildfire smoke and fire damage response. Our technicians are licensed, insured, and IICRC-certified.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Specialized cleaning for walls, ceilings, finishes, and personal belongings affected by wildfire smoke.
HVAC & Duct Cleaning
Full-system cleaning so you're not breathing soot every time the air handler kicks on.
Odor Removal
Wildfire smoke odor is stubborn. We treat the source, not just the air, with proven mitigation methods.
Structural Drying
If firefighting water reached your home, we dry the structure properly to prevent mold and warping.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Clothes, furniture, photos, keepsakes — we clean what we can on-site and carefully pack out the rest.
Insurance Documentation
Photo and video records, line-item scope, and adjuster-ready paperwork from day one.
Working With Your Insurance Adjuster
The claims process is a lot — especially while you're trying to figure out where your family is sleeping tonight. We take most of it off your plate, document everything thoroughly, and communicate with your adjuster directly so the conversation stays straightforward.
