Fire & Trauma Remediation

The fire is out.
The smoke smell remains.

Surface restoration won’t reach the molecules that re-emit the smoke smell six months later. BIOSWEEP works alongside your contractor or insurance restoration team to eliminate the odor permanently.

We were called to come out and treat this home for a fire smoke odor even after the contractor had gutted down to the studs. One overnight treatment and the smoke odor was permanently removed. This laundromat had a fire that caused the entire 9,000 sq ft structure to reek of smoke. Within 48 hours we scoped, performed our treatment, and permanently eliminated the fire smoke odor. A family reached out about a fire in their garage. The smoke smell had permeated throughout their home and caused panic among the family as they did not want to live in a fire damaged space. The homeowner also told me that he did not want to make an insurance claim to cause his premiums to go up. We performed our treatment overnight, and the family safely returned to an odor and VOC free space the next morning! A small kitchen fire caused the entirety of this beautiful home to smell like smoke. We were finished in 24 hours and guaranteed that the smell would never return!

Why surface treatments don’t hold

The smell isn’t on the surface. It’s in the structure.

After a house fire, the structural and visible damage gets repaired. The molecular process behind BIOSWEEP reaches where surface treatments cannot.

The problem
Surface restoration isn’t the whole job

After a house fire, the structural and visible damage gets repaired. The smell doesn’t. Smoke embeds into framing, drywall, HVAC ducts, insulation, and soft goods. Six months after move-back, residents are still smelling the fire. That’s the gap surface restoration leaves behind.

The fix
How BIOSWEEP closes the gap

We coordinate timing with your contractor or insurance restoration company, usually after structural and surface restoration, before move-back. Five-stage photocatalytic oxidation reaches into walls, HVAC, and remaining soft goods to destroy the embedded smoke molecules. Permanent.

How it works

From phone call to permanent result

Most Chicagoland jobs run on the same four-step path. Same-week scheduling is standard.

1
Estimate + insurance documentation
Call (630) 881-7145. We’ll provide an estimate and documentation suitable for your insurance claim or restoration coordinator.
2
Schedule after structural and surface restoration
BIOSWEEP works best after the visible damage has been repaired but before final reoccupancy. We coordinate timing with your contractor.
3
Multi-zone BIOSWEEP deployment
We treat every zone of the affected property simultaneously: living areas, attic, basement, HVAC. The molecular process reaches every surface.
4
Verification + transferable guarantee
We verify the odor is gone before sign-off. The written guarantee can transfer to a future buyer if the property is being sold post-restoration.

The BioSweep Guarantee

If the odor returns after our treatment and the original source has been resolved, we come back at no charge. No invoice, no claims process. Terms in writing before the job begins. The guarantee transfers to a buyer at closing on realtor listings. Read the full terms →

FAQ

Questions Chicagoland homeowners ask

Will my insurance cover BIOSWEEP?
Often yes. We provide written estimates and documentation suitable for insurance claim filings. Many Chicagoland restoration claims include odor remediation as a line item once the property owner raises it.
When during the restoration process should we call?
After structural and surface restoration is complete, but before final reoccupancy. Treating before the build-back finishes risks new construction materials introducing fresh smoke residue. Treating before move-back means the family doesn’t live with the smell.
Can you treat a partial home or a single room?
Yes. Smaller scopes are common: one room, one floor, the HVAC system. We size the BIOSWEEP deployment to the affected area.
Does it work for a fire in a multi-unit building?
Yes. Common-area treatment is available, and individual units can be scheduled to minimize disruption. We’ve worked with Chicagoland property managers and HOAs.
What about trauma scene or hoarding cleanup?
Yes. BIOSWEEP handles biohazard decontamination and hoarding remediation. We’re discreet, professional, and judgment-free. Coordination with cleanup crews and restoration contractors is standard.
Will the BIOSWEEP treatment itself smell?
There is a faint ozone-like scent during the treatment cycle that dissipates completely within hours of the machines shutting off. By move-back day, there is nothing to smell. That’s the point.
