A fire's damage is rarely limited to scorch marks. DRR boards up and protects the house, cleans each surface with the method its residue calls for under IICRC S700, and takes the project through reconstruction under one contractor.
Fire restoration for Litchfield Park homes, old and new
Goodyear opened The Wigwam in 1929, originally to house its sales executives, and Litchfield Park incorporated as a city in 1987. The county's 2021 hazard plan finds the city is not affected by areas of increased wildfire hazard and does not lie near the wildland-urban interface. For most households, that puts the focus of fire prevention indoors: kitchens, electrical systems, dryers and garages.
Litchfield Park · Local Fire Risks
Fire and smoke risks in Litchfield Park homes
Kitchen fires
Grease and cooking fires leave a sticky residue on cabinets, ceilings and range hoods that carries odor through the house. Cleaning it takes degreasers matched to each surface; an all-purpose spray tends to smear it.
Electrical fires
Aging circuits, overloaded power strips and failing appliances can start fires inside walls and ceilings. After an electrical fire, an electrician should inspect the affected circuits before power is restored.
Townhouses and condos
Nearly one in five of the city's homes are attached or in small multi-unit buildings. Smoke can cross shared walls and attics, so each adjoining unit needs its own inspection and record.
Homes from before 1960 to today
Litchfield Park's housing ranges from a small number of pre-1960 homes and many 1960s and '70s houses to the hundreds built since 2010. In an older home, the wiring and building materials should be checked before reconstruction begins.
Odor in fabrics and insulation
Smoke odor settles into carpet, upholstery, insulation and the HVAC system. It has to be cleaned or removed at the source; deodorizing without removing the residue doesn't last.
Contents cleaning and pack-out
Furniture, clothing, electronics and keepsakes can often be cleaned. We inventory and photograph what's affected, move items out for cleaning when needed and document anything that can't be saved.

FAQ
Fire damage restoration Litchfield Park — FAQ
Is my home at risk from wildfire?
The county's 2021 hazard mitigation plan finds the City of Litchfield Park is not affected by areas of increased wildfire hazard. Smoke from fires elsewhere can still drift in; if you notice ash or odor indoors, replace the AC filter, and call us if it lingers.
The fire was small. Do I need a restoration company?
Often, yes. Even a small fire sends smoke and soot beyond the room where it started, into closets, ductwork and soft furnishings. We walk every room with you and show what's affected before anything is cleaned.
My townhouse shares a wall with the unit that burned. Can you help?
Yes. We inspect your unit on its own, photograph any smoke and soot, and give you documentation separate from your neighbor's so your carrier has its own record.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. DRR has worked claims with State Farm, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, USAA, American Family and Allstate, among others, and documents fire losses the way adjusters need them.
Do you also do the rebuilding?
Yes. DRR is a licensed Arizona contractor (AZ ROC #349012), so cleaning, repairs and reconstruction can be handled under one contractor.
