Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Catahoula technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 70582 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Catahoula code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
Documentation built to match what Catahoula, LA carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Catahoula job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Catahoula, LA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Catahoula loss from spreading further.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
