Fire Damage Restoration Cincinnati
Yeti Restoration provides 24/7 fire damage restoration in Cincinnati, handling cleanup, smoke and soot removal, and full repairs to help you recover quickly and safely.
When your property has fire damage, the clean up requirements can be extensive, often needing cleaning services beyond the norm to return you to the original condition of your space. You’ll typically need fire damage restoration experts who understand the complexity of a fire damage, and who can guarantee odor removal forever. Based in Cincinnati – our team is ready to help restore your property.
Your fire damage is unique. Just like every catastrophe is. Residential and commercial properties are all built differently, and soot will travel through your building differently depending on window openings, vents, where the fire was started, what kinds of products caught fire, and much more. Because of that, you may find smoke damage in places you don’t expect, and the scope of work may vary from original expectations.
And you’ll find that the water that brought safety from the fire, may bring water damage, and it’s own cleanup needs. If not handled soon, this water damage will usually lead to mold growth that needs separate mold remediation – and suddenly the work to restore your property can become very complicated.
Water Extraction in the Greater Cincinnati Area
The fire department or insurance carrier may determine that your property is unsafe for entry, or will be under investigation for a moment. In these events, it’s often still possible to begin stabilization of your space, to help limit mold growth, and start protecting your belongings.
We recommend this step be taken as quickly as possible, after our initial assessment, because high moisture content in the structure of the building leads to secondary and even structural damage, or impossible upholstery cleaning. Quickly addressing these constraints with temporary power supply, and non-intrusive dehumidification (during the inspection and third-party investigation phase) minimizes the extent of further repair needs and mold.
Of course, considerations change in summer and winter months, from mitigating the risk of mold during summer months, to risk of burst pipes and more during winter months. Fire damage restoration experts in Cincinnati OH can educate you through the process, and protect your belongings after fires.

Restoration of Your Memories
Your grandmother’s wedding dress. The wall hanging you bought in Thailand. And the teddy your children sleep with. Any of these belongings could be more valuable to you than the business you run, or be worth more than the whole job scope of this fire.
We’ve seen it all. And it’s important for you to know that customers can profile personal items for salvage, even when they may not look valuable to others. Skilled technicians will make an assessment of everything affected by smoke and fire (and mold) to determine what is worth restoration.
Can You Remove Odors From A Dress After Fire Damage?
For example, a $400 dress may have soot all over it in the closet, but not have been touched by fire or flame. It’s not easy to find a dress to replace it with (the time and energy of full closet replacement tends to be immense for homeowners who have to do this). But an IICRC certified restoration business who specializes in fire damage contents cleaning, may only need $40 to return that garment to it’s original condition. And they may restore the broken button while they’re at it.
These services (for a customers personal items) can be expedited for primary belongings, and urgent items. A customer recently was appearing on the news, and needed a particular blouse. Another was catering a wedding and needed their uniform.
Great care is given to make sure that every piece of salvageable clothing, and your sofa, and your art work is documented in it’s current condition before removal from the fire damage property. Our fire damage clean up team uses advanced equipment and will return back to you without odor.

Soot Removal and Odor-Free Guarantee in Fire Damage Restoration
Your space has likely never smelled like this. The complex chemicals that are left in your property require more than usual cleaning services can offer. In fact, soot removal in your affected areas may require more advanced equipment than most fire damage restoration companies even own, like dry ice blasting equipment, to physically remove soot and smoke damage, rather than just mask the smoke with chemicals and Kilz.
To be able to offer homeowners like you an odor free guarantee on residential and commercial properties in the Cincinnati metro area, we first create free estimates of emergency service that we believe will remove odors in full. It’s very-very unusual that this scope would include anything to do with paint, Kilz, or other chemicals. Our fire damage cleanup scope needs to be accepted in full, and performed in full by our Yeti Restoration technicians, and we’ll stand behind it for you, knowing that once the smoke and fire is removed, there’s no more odor to be worried about. The work is complete.
You may have structural damage or water damage to deal with now, but the initial impact of the fire smoke will be gone, and your insurance company (on a covered loss) will be able to recognize and compensate you as property owners for these specialty cleaning services. After all, your insurance company is contractually obligated to pay for the restoration services necessary to return your property to the condition it was in before whatever destruction caused this event.

We recently tested our basement for radon. The levels ended up being 20 pci/l, which is really high.
Insurance Property Claims Services in Cincinnati
Assuming you have insurance, and your claim is a covered loss (most fire losses are – and we can help figure that out), the restoration services you require will be covered in full by your insurance carrier.
The damage restoration services that are required, will often be more than you perhaps can see on day one, and that’s to be expected. Your insurance company don’t expect you to understand the full scope at once. In fact, the remediation of the smoke damage may only be fully understood as restoration services are begun.
At times, your insurance adjuster may request a scope of anticipated restoration services, but should understand that residential and commercial properties are each unique, and each fire is unique. Wall cavities can pressurize during a fire, and smoke will fill the stud cavities, even where insulation is found. This insulation will never effectively be in it’s original condition, and would need to be replaced.
You should expect a service that will protect you from cut corners, and ensures restoration services are complete in full. We’re a fire damage company that provides unmatched services in Cincinnati and Dayton for property owners experiencing loss to fire; from the board up and water extraction, through to mold removal if necessary, and to take great care doing it.
We get to do this a lot, and we’ll bring our expertise to secure the best outcomes for you and your family as we engage with you and the adjuster that your insurance carrier uses.
Mold Removal During Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration companies encounter mold removal on almost every job. Truthfully, this doesn’t have to be the case.
There is no ideal scenario in fire damage cleanup. You’re always considering multiple stakeholders (at least homeowners, fire department and insurance). Sometimes delays caused by conflict of interests, or a lack of trust in the process or the insurance adjuster cause the timeline of damage restoration to be delayed. These delays (for good or bad reasons) can lead to fire damage restoration being a mold removal problem at the same time.
You’ll have to repair damage at some point, but water damage restoration may come first – and can often be facilitated without demolition to areas of the property that are under investigation or observation for structural damage.
Customers May Need Mold Remediation If They Don't Have Water Removal In Time
Mold will grow wherever it has something to eat, something to drink, and somewhere to hide. Here in Cincinnati, we have great weather for growing mold in unconditioned property after water damage, so you may have areas that the fire department were able to spray water, now being removed.
Depending on the scale of damage, it’s possible that appropriate restoration would have necessitated the removal of these porous substrates whether there was water damage or not. But either way, the cleanup will tend to be less intrusive of your property and belongings when you act quickly to avoid mold, and bring in a business who can serve you with restoration and water removal within a short number of days, not weeks.

We had a water leak and mold in our drywall around our fireplace. Yeti Restoration were available right away to come and remove all the mold related to the water damage. Mike and Aaron were very thorough and did a great job of explaining everything. They also left our house looking clean and covered up the area well. I highly recommend hiring Yeti Restoration since I would use their services again!
Mike, Aaron and Brian came by after a disaster flood from a bathroom and have been very thorough to ensure our house is fully dry and mold free def recommend to anyone needing restoration after flooding! Thanks again guys !
I used Yeti a few years ago when I had a major leak in a bathroom that caused mold all in my walls and in the floor in the next room. They were quick, informative, and made the whole process very easy which made all of it much less stressful. Recently, I was worried that their was mold in a different area because of a strange smell. It was truly making me feel crazy. The owner was the one who came out to check it out and do some tests to see, and while no signs of mold were found, he gave me a lot of good information and suggestions, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was so stressed about all of it, and Matt was so kind, courteous, and reassuring. He made sure I felt heard and that he addressed all of my concerns. Dealing with problems with my house is absolutely the most stressful thing to me, but every single staff member I have talked to there has been so kind and really helped ease a lot of the anxiety I've felt. I would recommend them to anyone, and god forbid I have another mold issue, I will absolutely be calling them again.
We loved working with Yeti! Vicki was super helpful on the phone as we got scheduled while we were out of town, and really helped with being flexible when we had a scheduling conflict. Aaron was amazing on site - super responsive, left the place nicer than he found it, and was done even faster than expected. I loved working with Yeti and would do it again!
Mike and Aaron were great. Quick and professional. They did a fantastic job. Highly recommend
Mike & Aaron did a great job explaining the scope of work, answering all my questions, and being thorough and efficient with the work
I had a fantastic experience with Yeti for mold removal in my basement. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and incredibly reassuring. Mike, the technician who handled the work at my home, was exceptional. He arrived right on time, walked me through everything with clear explanations, and demonstrated a level of knowledge that immediately put me at ease. Mike was not only thorough and efficient but also genuinely helpful—answering every question, pointing out what to watch for in the future, and making sure the space was completely safe before wrapping up. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such a friendly, customer‑focused approach. Thanks to Yeti and especially to Mike, my basement is clean, safe, and mold‑free. I’d confidently recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high‑quality mold remediation.
We had a burst pipe last week during the extreme cold in January in a house we’ve only lived in for 8 months. Yeti Restoration was onsite the next day, helping us navigate the work that needed to be done and willing to work with our insurance company. The team was Matt, Adam, Mike and Aaron. Each one of them being incredibly professional, efficient with excellent attention to detail, communicative and fun to work with through a stressful time. I can’t say enough good things about them all!
Mike and Arron are GREAT!!! Friendly and informative! They did a great job. Would definately recommend to friends and family!!!!
We moved into a 1950s home that needed some love inside the home utility room and in the garage. Yeti and the crew (Mike, Aaron, Adam and Matt) cleaned up and eliminated our mold concerns in no time. I’ll be back if we ever have any other mold issues.
Aaron was amazing. Did everthing quickly and professionally. Would recommend!
Thank you Mike! Excellent work!!! Got everything cleaned up properly. Cleaned up after he was done.
Aaron was very professional and a hard worker. He kept the area clean and left it better than he found it! He explained his work thoroughly and answered questions patiently. We totally recommend Aaron and Yeti Restoration!
Mike did our mold mitigation in our crawl space. He did an excellent job, and the communication about the process was outstanding. Highly recommended! Jeff
This was an amazing experience in a tough situation. Aaron, Mike, and Adam were a delight to have out. They made the painful process of mold removal simple. Thank you Yeti Restoration
Mike & Adam came out for mold remediation. I’m so impressed with all of Yeti restoration - Matt the owner, Vicki in the office and Mike and Adam have all been fantastic and thorough. You are in good hands with Yeti! Thank you! Edit: We needed to wait on mold removal for our basement until we figured out the water entry problems. They came out to do the basement yesterday and did a great job. It was Mike, Adam, and Aaron
I called Yeti Restoration because I was smelling some mold in my home, but I could not identify the source of the issue. I decided to schedule a visit with their professionals, and they arrived on-site with great communication and they were prompt too. I let them know everything I had seen and smelled, and they gave me an excellent consultation with some very informative recommendations! I really appreciate Matt & Adam for stopping by and working through some solutions with me. I highly recommend Yeti Restoration for their consultation and services.
Mike, Aaron, and ash did a great job at cleaning all the mold out and explaining everything they did.
Mike and Aaron were highly professional, and more so, very helpful in assisting in my understanding (when I have rather limited understanding on such things). They also cleaned up well ; ) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Mike P.
I cannot praise Yeti Restoration enough for the work they have done. This is the second time we have used Yeti Restoration and each time they have been punctual, professional, and thorough. Mike, Aaraon, and Ashton were very professional, dilligent, and efficient. They ensured all mold was removed and work areas prepped and cleaned. I highly recommend Yeti Restoration!
The contractor Mike was very helpful on explaining everything. Did a very thorough job and also found other issues that needed to be addressed. I am very pleased with his professionalism and thoroughness.
Very happy with Yeti. We used them for mold remediation. Got a competitive quote from owner Matt during a very informative consultation. Mike and Aaron came the following week, did an excellent job, and even cleaned up the basement a little bit. Very happy with Yeti. Would definitely recommend!
Mike and Aaron did a great job and were super thorough in their work!
Aaron and Mike arrived within the time frame quoted. They answered my questions and made me feel confident the remediation would solve my mold problem. They worked thoroughly and did a great job. I appreciate their five star service.
Mike and Aaron were very professional and very friendly. 5 stars for both of these guys.
Aaron was great. He clearly communicated and explained the entire process. His professionalism and expertise helped me to feel at ease with the project.
Mike and Aaron went above and beyond to leave my basement in incredible condition. It made one of the hardest parts of home ownership turn into a breeze. Thank you so much.
A big thank you to Matt, Mike, Aaron, and Tony for coming out during a holiday weekend to help us with a water emergency. It was a stressful situation, and they made things easy for us.
We had an excellent experience with Mike & Aaron from Yeti today. We had a small basement flood which necessitated professional cleanup. They came at the scheduled time, assessed the problem and immediately went about fixing it. Communication was clear and easy.
My sensitive nose panicked and thought our walls were most likely filled with moisture and mold. Not knowing anything about mold remediation I searched for a local company to help and Yeti came out for free to check the walls! Luckily, it was all good news and our walls our fine- but I have peace of mind and appreciated the free check from Matt, who was caring and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Would recommend calling Yeti if you even have any inkling somethings going on in your home!
Mike, Aaron, and Matt did a great job and explained everything they were doing. Very professional and cleaned up when they were done
Aaron and Mike was great they helped with the mold I had in my house from water damage they got it cleared up within a short time and made sure my wood was dry and up to par I would highly recommend and use them again thanks again.
Very happy with the service. Mike did a great job with the mold remediation. Quick, professional and left everything clean. Highly recommend!
Aaron came out to give us an estimate, he was punctual, professional, and went the extra mile to explore any problems. He and the young lady in the office, Vicki, went above and beyond for us. We highly recommend this company.
Aaron was extremely helpful and explained the whole process. He came out did a free inspection and told me how to safely remediate the small areas where he saw issues. 10/10 would recommend very knowledgeable and trustworthy company
Mike, Aaron, and Vicky were so great! When I first called it was a last ditch effort to get crawl space work completed. We had two other companies ghost us after having come to see the space and bid on the work. I was ready to give up when a friend recommended Yeti. I called and Vicky picked up on her mobile after hours! She coordinated the scheduling and got the team right out. They not only put on shoe covers (we have white carpet) but they also took extra care with their tools and laid down carpet protecting paper throughout the basement to keep everything clean. Mike and Aaron texted with ETAs each time they were on their way. They told us what to expect, and kept us in the loop the whole time. They were professional and courteous. Needless to say, their work was top notch. They even saw issues others had not. We've been in our home for 12 years and I can't belive we didn't do this sooner. I think they spoiled me! My standards are now ridiculously high :)
Mike and his crew were awesome. Great communication from start to finish. Matt the owner came out to look at the work that was to be completed. We were devastated that mold came up in the inspection of our home. Matt eased our mind with the plan and helped eliminate the stress that we had. Can’t recommend them enough. Hoping we don’t have a need again, but would recommend them in a heart beat. Thank you! Thank you! Casey and Richelle B.
Aaron was great! The ladder that he originally brought wasn’t tall enough, after a quick trip to Home Depot he came back with a taller ladder and inspected everything! I felt like he went well beyond helping and took care of my concerns today. From this experience alone I would recommend their services to anyone. He was friendly and after some conversation was actually one of the techs who would clean up the mold so he knew exactly what he was looking for. He showed me all the pictures he took as well. Vicki, the person I talked to in the office was also able to get Aaron out to our home by the end of the week as well. At the end I requested a report showing no issues at this time and am eager to have that peace of mind in hand. Thanks again Aaron!
