Manchester's 19th-century downtown packs old buildings close together, and its aging housing stock means a fire near the Goodyear Block or the M-52 corridor can push smoke and soot through walls that predate modern fire-stops. Odor settles deep into century-old materials fast.
The team dispatched by Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor secures the structure, removes soot, and filters the air before packing out contents for off-site cleaning. Near the River Raisin waterfront and the historic Fountain-Bessac House, smoke odor is chased to its source and neutralized while charred framing is removed and rebuilt.

Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Manchester and Washtenaw County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Once the fire department clears the scene and everyone is safe, call 1-800-645-5377 and leave soot-covered surfaces alone. In 19th-century homes near downtown, smoke works into original woodwork and plaster. We secure the property and begin soot removal and deodorization.
Smoke travels through ductwork and settles into porous materials well beyond the fire, common in the town's historic homes with original wood and plaster. Soot and odor can reach upper floors, closets, and wall cavities. We clean affected surfaces, treat ductwork, and deodorize.
Often yes. Many homes near the Goodyear Block and downtown have original trim and built-ins we can clean and deodorize rather than replace by default. We assess each element to see what is salvageable. Materials beyond saving are documented for insurance.
We clean soot from surfaces, treat porous structural materials, and deodorize with equipment that neutralizes odor at its source. Older homes hold odor in wood and plaster, so we treat those areas directly. The goal is a home that no longer smells of smoke.
