Great company, I highly recommend
We had an emergency situation at a rental property that occurred early on a Saturday morning when I was out of town - hours away. I called Miller's and they had someone onsite at the property...

A fire changes a Findlay home in minutes, and the smoke and soot that follow keep working long after the flames are out. In older houses along the East Sandusky Street corridor and through the University District, smoke pushes into wall cavities, ductwork, and contents, leaving acidic residue and an odor that ordinary cleaning cannot lift. Reaching the scene quickly and stabilizing the property is what limits how far the damage spreads.
We assess the soot type, protect what can be saved, and pack out contents for detailed off-site cleaning while we address structural surfaces, HVAC lines, and the deep smoke odor that settles into a home. When reconstruction is called for, from Downtown Findlay to the Tell Avenue area, we rebuild the affected rooms so the finished house looks the way it did before the fire, not far from the Hancock County Courthouse.
Millers has been family-owned since 1974, serving families across Hancock County through good years and hard ones. The crew that responds to fire and smoke calls here is Millers Restoration of Bowling Green, and we treat a burned home, and everyone unsettled by it, with the care they deserve.

Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Findlay and Hancock County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Call as soon as the fire department clears the scene, because smoke residue and soot begin etching surfaces and settling into materials within hours. Millers Restoration responds to Findlay fire losses day or night from our Bowling Green base. Early cleanup of soot and acidic residue protects finishes, contents, and structural surfaces from permanent staining.
Smoke particles are extremely fine and work their way into plaster, wood trim, insulation, and HVAC systems common in Findlay's older housing stock. Surface cleaning alone rarely removes the odor because the residue hides inside porous materials. We clean, treat, and deodorize affected areas and air-handling components so the smell does not keep resurfacing.
We start by assessing the structure and securing the property, then remove soot and smoke residue, address any water left by firefighting, and deodorize throughout. Because firefighting water often ends up in Findlay basements, drying is frequently part of a fire job here. We document everything for your insurance and rebuild affected areas so your home is restored, not just cleaned.
Yes. Nearly every fire leaves behind water and moisture from suppression efforts, and in Findlay that water often settles into full basements. We handle soot cleanup, deodorization, and water extraction and drying as one coordinated project. Treating both together prevents the moisture from seeding mold while the smoke damage is being restored.
