Amazing company, with amazing employees. Our basement flooded and these guys responded promptly, kept us updated on the progress throughout the process, and communicated thoroughly. We've used them before in the…
Fostoria's century-old homes carry a hidden fire risk in their dated, knob-and-tube-era wiring, and when a fire does break out near Downtown Fostoria or the West End, the smoke and soot that follow can damage as much as the flames themselves. Residue pushes into walls, ductwork, and contents, and the odor lingers in old plaster and wood long after the last hose is rolled up.
Our team stabilizes the property, identifies the soot conditions, and packs out belongings for detailed cleaning while we treat structural surfaces and remove smoke odor at its source instead of covering it over. When reconstruction is needed, from North Fostoria to the neighborhoods near Portage Park, we rebuild the damaged areas so the home is genuinely restored, not just patched and repainted over the loss.

Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Fostoria and Seneca County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Fostoria's early-1900s housing stock can carry dated, knob-and-tube-era wiring that raises electrical fire exposure. When a fire does occur, the aging materials in these homes absorb smoke and soot readily. Millers Restoration responds day or night to remove soot and smoke residue before it permanently stains surfaces and contents.
Smoke particles are very fine and settle into plaster, old wood trim, and insulation common in Fostoria's older homes. Wiping surfaces does not reach residue trapped inside porous materials, so the odor returns. We clean, treat, and deodorize affected materials and air pathways to eliminate the source of the smell.
We assess and secure the structure, remove soot and smoke residue, dry any firefighting water, and deodorize throughout. Because Fostoria homes often have deep basements, firefighting water frequently collects there and needs drying. We document the loss for insurance and rebuild affected areas so your home is fully restored.
Yes. Fire suppression almost always leaves water behind, and in Fostoria's deep basements that water can sit and spread. We coordinate soot cleanup, deodorization, and water extraction and drying as one project. Handling both together keeps the moisture from feeding mold during restoration.
