A typical fire damage cleanup in Campbell runs $1,800 – $4,500, while full structural fire repair can range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on how far the heat, smoke, and water traveled.

Why Dryden Restoration San Jose Is Campbell’s Preferred Fire Damage Restoration Company
Campbell homeowners have enough to manage after a fire without double-checking whether a restoration crew actually understands mid-century construction. Our Fire Damage Restoration team walks into every job knowing what to look for in a 1960s ranch with original galvanized plumbing, because we see those homes every week. We’re an independently owned and operated Kingswell company, which means we answer to homeowners in Campbell, not a distant corporate office.
Every technician who enters your home is background-checked and arrives in a Dryden uniform, so when you open the door at 2 a.m. after a kitchen fire, you know exactly who you’re letting in. We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment, the same professional-grade machines used on large commercial restoration jobs, because your wall cavities deserve better than a rental fan from a big-box store. And before any tool is touched, you get a written price. Not an estimate in the air, not a number that changes when the crew walks inside. The figure on that paper is what you pay.
Carl Brandt leads our restoration work across the South Bay, and he holds every crew to The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, and put the guarantee in writing. That guarantee is our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a repair we made fails within a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge. It’s in writing on every job, not a verbal promise you have to remember.
Restoration work we handle






Smoke Odor Removal in Campbell
Smoke odor removal in Campbell homes typically runs $900 – $2,300 for a single affected room and $3,000 – $6,500 for whole-house treatment, including HVAC cleaning. Smoke particles don’t just float in the air; they bond to drywall, carpet fibers, window sills, and the inside of your ductwork. That’s why air fresheners and repainting won’t solve the problem. The source has to be neutralized. We use thermal fogging and ozone treatment, then seal affected surfaces with an odor-blocking primer. In many Campbell homes, the hidden challenge is that smoke traveled through wall cavities connected to unpermitted additions from the 1970s, so the odor keeps coming back until we trace and treat those paths.
Thermal Fogging and Surface Sealing
Thermal fogging works by reheating smoke particles’ solvent base and chemically neutralizing the odor, reaching the same places smoke traveled. After fogging, we apply a hard-shell sealant to painted surfaces. That seal does what paint alone cannot: it locks in residual particles so they can’t off-gas for months after the fire.
HVAC Duct and Filter Remediation
Your forced-air furnace pushed smoke through every vent in the house while the fire burned. If we don’t clean the ducts and replace the return filters, the first time you run the heat in November you’ll smell that fire again. In Campbell’s older ranch homes with original galvanized ductwork, we scope the inside of the ducts with a camera before we quote, because rusted seams hold smoke particles aggressively.
Fire and Water Damage Restoration in Campbell
Fire and water damage restoration in Campbell is the intersection of two emergencies: the fire itself, then the thousands of gallons of fire-hose water soaked into your flooring, subfloor, and wall cavities. In Campbell’s market, combined fire and water restoration typically ranges from $5,000 to $22,000. The water is what surprises most homeowners, because it migrates downward and sideways. We bring in Dri-Eaz air movers, Phoenix dehumidifiers, and Injectidry systems to pull moisture from enclosed cavities that visible inspection misses. In tightly-sealed newer townhomes near downtown Campbell, that trapped moisture won’t evaporate on its own, even in our summer heat.
Post-Fire Moisture Mapping
Before we touch a wall, we map it by measuring RH (relative humidity) behind every affected surface. The goal is to find water that isn’t visible, because Campbell’s clay-heavy soils mean firefighting water can pool against the foundation and seep into a slab. We locate it before mold has a chance to establish itself, usually within 24 to 48 hours of the fire.
Structural Drying and Containment
In the older neighborhoods west of downtown Campbell, our techs responded to an attic fire in a 1960s ranch home. During mitigation, we checked the unpermitted addition’s roof valley and found a poorly flashed transition that had been leaking rainwater into the wall cavity, separate from the fire damage. Using moisture mapping and air movers from Dri-Eaz, we set up containment, removed affected drywall, and placed structural drying equipment to prevent mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. That’s the kind of hidden issue we specifically hunt for in Campbell houses.
Trusted Brands We Service in Campbell
You shouldn’t have to replace every piece of equipment in your home just because the parts are hard to find. We stock and order components for the brands Campbell homeowners already have in their homes, including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Rinnai, and Navien. If a fire damaged your furnace or water heater, our parts suppliers in the South Bay can usually source what we need within a day or two, which keeps your restoration timeline moving. For high-efficiency tankless units like Rinnai and Navien, we verify the gas supply line and venting are intact before we recommend a replacement, because fire damage to a vent connection is a carbon monoxide risk we won’t sign off on.

AfterCommon Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Campbell Homes
- Hidden roof valleys on unpermitted 1970s additions: Many homes west of downtown Campbell have additions that were built without permits, and their roof transitions were never flashed correctly. After a fire, those valleys become water intrusion points that reactivate smoke odor and cause new damage months later. We check them on every single job.
- Trapped moisture in tightly-sealed townhomes: Newer townhomes near the Pruneyard are built tight to meet energy codes, which means water from firefighting has nowhere to go. Skipping moisture mapping in these units lets mold grow inside wall cavities within days. We map every cavity before we close up.
- Clay-heavy soil and slab seepage: Campbell sits on clay soils that expand and contract with moisture, and a foundation crack becomes a water path when hundreds of gallons of fire-hose water pool against the house. We check slab penetrations and expansion joints as part of every fire restoration in your city.
- Galvanized plumbing incompatibility: In homes built between 1950 and 1980 with original galvanized supply lines, fire and water damage often means replacing a section of pipe. Modern copper doesn’t always mate cleanly with old galvanized, and a sloppy connection leaks. We plan for that before we cut.

FAQs About Fire Damage Restoration in Campbell
Older ranch homes in Campbell often have more open wall cavities from unpermitted additions, which means smoke travels farther and we spend more time tracing and treating hidden paths. Newer townhomes are tighter and hold moisture longer, which extends the drying phase. Expect a full restoration in Campbell to take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on which type of home you have and how far the smoke and water traveled. Call (669) 770-7417 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific house.
Yes, you should check them, because the roof valleys and flashings on those additions are often where water gets into wall cavities after a fire. We specifically look for those transitions on every west Campbell job. If we find a problem, we’ll show you photos and give you a written scope for the fix before we do anything.
Water from a fire hose is hundreds of gallons delivered in minutes and it pools fast, pushing into slab penetrations and wall cavities. A plumbing leak is usually slower and more localized. The fire-hose water often carries soot and debris, which means it’s contaminated and has to be extracted and treated as more than just water. We address both sources in a combined restoration plan.
Yes, and we see this every summer when the hills around the South Bay burn. Smoke particles enter through attic vents, crawlspace vents, and window gaps, then bond to surfaces. A thorough cleaning of walls, carpets, and HVAC ducts plus an ozone treatment usually resolves it for $1,500 – $4,000 depending on square footage. Call (669) 770-7417 and we’ll assess it honestly, not upsell you into work you don’t need.
