Housing and fire aftermath

In Ottawa, detached houses, condos, mid-rises and older brick walk-ups respond differently to heat, soot and smoke. Independent local crews assess what can be cleaned versus replaced — we do not invent scopes or certificates.

Climate and authorities

During an active incident, follow municipal fire services, OFMEM and provincial wildfire guidance where relevant. This site only helps with contractor referrals after the scene is released.

Wildfire / bushfire smoke can affect interiors even when flames did not enter the building.

Referral

Important: this is a referral service. Your enquiry is passed to an independent local contractor. We do not carry out restoration work and we do not invent licences, reviews or prices.
