Our emergency teams respond any time—day or night—to quickly triage your property and prevent further loss.
Our emergency stabilization services include:

Smoke, Fire Residue, & Odor Removal
Fire leaves behind smoke residue, corrosive acids, and persistent odors that penetrate both porous and non-porous materials. PHC Restoration uses HEPA filtration, negative air pressure systems, and specialized cleaning techniques to remove residue from every affected surface. We clean HVAC systems to prevent recontamination, and when necessary, apply sealants or encapsulation to protect your property.
Different fire types require specific restoration approaches. Protein fires create invisible, greasy residues with intense odors, while lithium-ion battery fires produce toxic byproducts requiring careful handling. Whether your Raleigh home features historic wood substrates or modern condo finishes, our team adapts restoration methods to protect your property’s unique materials whenever feasible.
Water Damage from Firefighting Efforts
Fire suppression often leaves behind significant water damage from hoses and sprinkler systems. PHC’s fire damage restoration services include comprehensive water damage restoration to extract standing water, dry structural materials, and prevent secondary issues like mold growth. We address both fire and water damage simultaneously, ensuring your property is fully restored with no detail overlooked.
Contents Cleaning
Your belongings deserve the same attention as your property. PHC Restoration offers specialized contents cleaning services in Raleigh to salvage furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, and sentimental items affected by smoke, residue, and water damage. We carefully inventory and photograph each damaged item, maintaining chain-of-custody protocols throughout the restoration process.
Our contents restoration includes ultrasonic cleaning for delicate items, deodorization chamber treatment to eliminate embedded odors, and secure off-site storage while your property undergoes reconstruction. When restoration is complete, we return your cleaned belongings—carefully packed and ready for you to settle back in.
Reconstruction in Raleigh
Once mitigation and cleaning are complete, PHC Restoration transitions into full reconstruction to return your property to its pre-loss condition. We confirm the project scope with you and provide a timeline for the work. Our team manages reconstruction projects of any size—from single-room repairs to complete structural rebuilds—applying consistent quality standards from start to finish. We maintain clear communication throughout each phase of the rebuild.
Our Raleigh reconstruction teams coordinate all necessary permits and inspections required by local building codes, keeping your project on schedule while meeting compliance requirements. You’ll receive regular updates on progress, and we address any questions or concerns promptly.

Josh arranged to come inspect the soot damage from our gas logs promptly. He came a second time to meet with our insurance adjuster. He sent a great team of Jeff, Ryan, Becca, Tina and Valerie. They all worked hard for several days to clean the parts of our home that had been impacted by the soot. I highly recommend PHC.
I appreciate all the hard work and expertise provided by PHC to mitigate the fire and smoke damage to my home, clean and care for its contents, and repair structural damages.
Jeremy Jones is an amazing project manager with the knowledge of home construction and reliability needed to coordinate multiple stages of mitigation and home repair. He is professional and courteous and never fails to respond to a request or inquiry. Thank you, Jeremy!
Toby Williams is a true “jack-of-all-trades” and I also appreciate his workmanship throughout the period of home repairs. I want to thank Natalie, Rebecca and Tina, and fellow crew members for their hard work and positive attitudes during the early days of mitigation, content cleaning, and setting my house back in order. Thanks, also, to the office staff at PHC for their courtesy and patience as I worked through the process of payment schedules and insurance matters.
