A fire in Van Wert's older housing stock rarely stays put. In homes near the Downtown Historic District and Pleasant Township, aging systems can start a fire that pushes smoke and soot into plaster, trim, and belongings across the whole home, often far from the ignition point.
The Millers Restoration of Bowling Green crew responds throughout Van Wert County, securing the structure with board-up and tarping, then cleaning soot from surfaces, deodorizing to remove smoke odor at its source, and packing out contents for careful off-site restoration.
Family-owned since 1974, Millers knows the older homes near the Brumback Library and the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. Old plaster and woodwork call for a careful, material-specific cleaning approach, and once surfaces and air are clean, we rebuild the fire-damaged areas back to pre-loss condition.

Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Van Wert and Van Wert County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Van Wert's older housing stock, including the downtown historic district, often retains outdated wiring that struggles with modern electrical demand, raising the risk of electrical fires. Heavy heating loads through the cold winters add furnace and space-heater fires to the causes we respond to here.
We respond around the clock and aim to reach Van Wert within a few hours, because soot becomes acidic and starts etching surfaces within the first day. Prompt cleaning and boarding-up prevent smoke residue from becoming permanent in the home.
Homeowners policies generally cover fire along with the resulting smoke, soot, and firefighting water. We document the full loss and coordinate directly with your adjuster so the property owner can focus on recovery rather than paperwork.
Don't wipe soot from walls or upholstery, since improper cleaning grinds residue in and makes it permanent, and keep the HVAC off so smoke isn't drawn through the house. Wait for our crew to secure the property and begin proper cleaning.
