We know Hollywood’s housing stock intimately - the 1950s-1970s concrete block homes in Hollywood Hills, the seasonal condos along the Hollywood Beach corridor, and the 1920s finger-canal properties in Hollywood Lakes where seawall weep holes and slab edges hold salt residue from past surge events. Our crews have restored fire-damaged properties from North 14th Avenue to the Intracoastal, and we understand how this city’s unique vacancy patterns and pre-code construction turn routine smoke jobs into complex, multi-phase restorations.

Why DryMark Restoration Fort Lauderdale Is Hollywood’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company

We’ve restored fire and smoke-damaged homes across Hollywood since 2011, and our reputation here is built on documentation that survives adjuster scrutiny. Every job receives a written price before work starts - Haven Standard, Clause 1 - plus a photo record on every visit and daily drying logs that track moisture readings, equipment placement, and vapor pressure differential. That’s not marketing language; it’s the documentation gap our founder, a former claims adjuster, built this company to close.

Our Hollywood customers find us because they read the three-star reviews. They want to know what happens when something goes wrong, and they learn that we answer with our 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by The Haven Standard - if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing. Live phone coverage runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no voicemail trees; a real person answers, dispatches to Hollywood from our Miami office, and gives you a written arrival window.

We carry a free second opinion policy on any competitor’s written estimate. Bring us another restoration company’s scope and we’ll review it at no charge. In a market where snowbird condos sit vacant for months and small kitchen fires become Category 3 mold losses, that second opinion has saved Hollywood homeowners from unnecessary demolition more than once.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Hollywood

Fire Damage Cleanup

Hollywood’s pre-1994 concrete block construction complicates fire damage cleanup in ways newer stock doesn’t. When fire burns through a kitchen wall in a 1960s Hollywood Hills home, the heat drives soot deep into unreinforced block cavities where standard surface cleaning can’t reach. Our crews use borescope inspection to map cavity contamination, then apply targeted cleaning agents and set up contained drying with Phoenix dehumidification systems. We document affected square footage, material classification by trade name, and moisture content percentage at each phase.

Smoke & Soot Removal

Smoke and soot removal in Hollywood demands more than surface wiping. The city’s high concentration of seasonal residents means fires in Intracoastal condos often go undiscovered for four to six months, letting soot residue bond chemically to cool surfaces and penetrate drywall, insulation, and HVAC ductwork. Our techs use HEPA vacuuming, dry sponging, and wet cleaning protocols matched to the smoke type - protein fires from kitchen grease behave differently from synthetic fires in a furnished seasonal unit. We test cleanability on hidden surfaces before committing to a method, and we log every decision.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Odor removal in Hollywood’s older concrete block homes fails when crews treat the surface and ignore the cavities. Original galvanized plumbing chases, electrical conduits, and unreinforced block cells act as odor reservoirs that re-emit smoke compounds for months after apparent cleanup. Our approach pairs thermal fogging with vapor-phase odor counteractants, then seals inaccessible cavities with odor-blocking encapsulants where appropriate. We verify results with olfactory testing at 24-hour intervals, not guesswork. In Hollywood Lakes properties near the Intracoastal, we also account for hygroscopic salt residue from past storm surge that keeps block surfaces damp and extends odor persistence.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Seasonal residents in Hollywood Beach and Hallandale Beach corridor condos often store personal property through fire and smoke events without knowing it. Our contents team inventories, photographs, and packs out affected items to our controlled cleaning facility, where we apply ultrasonic cleaning for hard goods, ozone treatment for odor-impacted textiles, and detailed restoration for documents and electronics. Every item is barcoded and tracked; the photo record goes to your adjuster and your file. For snowbird homeowners flying back north, we coordinate return delivery or secure storage until the property is restored to pre-loss condition.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

After fire department departure, Hollywood properties need immediate stabilization against Florida’s driving rain and high humidity. We board compromised openings, tarp damaged roofing, and establish temporary electrical safety - all documented with timestamped photos for your insurance file. Response to Hollywood averages under 90 minutes from call to on-site.

Structural Fire Repair

Structural repair on Hollywood’s pre-code buildings requires navigating non-standard wall assemblies and frequently discovering hidden moisture damage inside unreinforced concrete block cavities. We scope in writing, price in writing, and obtain written approval before demolition or reconstruction begins. No scope creep, no additions once the crew is inside - Haven Standard, Clause 1.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

Our equipment inventory includes professional-grade drying and air quality systems from Phoenix, XPOWER, and B-Air, supplemented by Injectidry cavity drying systems for Hollywood’s concrete block construction. We stock HEPA filtration, negative air machines, and dehumidification capacity sized for South Florida’s high vapor pressure - equipment that runs continuously in sealed containment while we document psychrometric data to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. For Hollywood customers, this means no waiting on rental equipment deliveries and no underpowered systems struggling with our humidity. When a Hollywood Lakes finger-canal home needs marine-grade antimicrobial treatment after salt-residue exposure, we have the chemistry on the truck, not on order.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Smoke odor re-emerging in 1950s-1970s concrete block walls. Crews clean the surface and never treat inside unreinforced block cavities. The odor compounds migrate back through porous block and failed mortar joints within weeks. We borescope every cavity and treat what we find, not what we see.
• Seasonal vacancy turning small fires into major mold losses. A stovetop fire in a snowbird’s Hollywood Beach condo goes unreported for months. Fire suppression water sits in wall cavities, and by spring the Category 1 water loss is Category 3 black water with advanced mold colonization. We test and classify on arrival, then scope accordingly.
• Skipped antimicrobial treatment near Intracoastal slab edges. Hygroscopic salt residue from past storm surge events keeps concrete damp for extended periods. Standard drying timelines fail; mold grows behind rebuilt finishes. We identify salt-affected substrates and extend drying cycles with targeted antimicrobial application.
• Galvanized plumbing chases acting as soot conduits. Original galvanized lines in pre-1970s Hollywood Hills homes corrode and create pathways for smoke and soot migration between rooms. We trace these pathways with inspection cameras and seal or treat as needed.
