Your Local Fire Restoration Company

Trusted Fire Damage Restoration in California, MD

When a fire hits your home or business in California, MD, it doesn’t just leave behind ashes—it upends your sense of safety. That’s where SERVPRO steps in. We’ve spent nearly 40 years helping St. Mary’s County neighbors recover after the smoke clears, and we do it with compassion, speed, and skill.

Our process starts when the fire department gives the all-clear. Then, our IICRC-certified pros assess structural damage, board up broken windows, and stabilize the building. It’s like putting up a safety net before the real cleanup begins.

  • Water Extraction (yep, fire often brings water damage too)
  • Debris & Unsalvageable Material Removal
  • Full-Service Cleaning & Deodorizing – ceiling to floor, contents included
  • Item Evaluation – you help us decide what’s worth restoring

From smoke-stained ceilings to charred drywall, we scrub, clean, and deodorize using air scrubbers and thermal foggers. Think of it like pressing the reset button on your home.

We’re also synced up with most insurance companies, which makes handling the paperwork as easy as pie. Our crew is fast, precise, and local—folks you can trust when things feel upside down.

When fire turns your world inside out, SERVPRO helps turn it right-side up. Let us help restore more than your property—let us help restore your peace of mind.

What our
customers are saying

Dear Ms. Dorr: 

My wife and I want you to know of our appreciation for the tremendous service offered by members of your Company.

Earlier this year we had the misfortune of having the interior of our house and its contents covered with soot from a malfunctioning fuel oil furnace. SERVPRO cleaned the walls, ceilings, floors, doors and some of the contents May 7-9. SERVPRO members involved in the cleanup were:

Todd,

Frank, 

Jon, 

Tommy and

Eddie.

All five of them were very professional. They reviewed with us in detail the work to be done and were proactive in suggesting that painting certain parts of the house are necessary when they were doing the remediation. All five of the employees seemed to know what to do and when to do it. They were thorough in their cleaning, while, at the same time being courteous and pleasant. My wife and I were amazed at how meticulous and helpful they were in the cleaning process. 

This is our first major experience with SERVPRO. (We had used SERVPRO years ago {Eddie} to clean our HVAC ducts, which was also a favorable experience.) We are happily relating to our friends how SERVPRO came to our rescue in dealing with the soot issue. 

Sencerely yours,

Michael J. Korin

I have to say that dealing with SERVPRO was absolutely seamless. From the initial call, to the site visit, and through the three days of cleaning, I couldn't have asked for a better crew. Robby was outstanding, and made sure all of our needs were met with ease. Thanks again for the great work everyone!

I could go on and on how wonderful SERVPRO is and has been for my family and I. You all made a hectic, crazy time due to an accident in our home SOOOO much better and easier to deal with. From Frank who took care of us so very well after the accident to Eddie who finished up in our home! Tracy in the office was also so very helpful, professional and kind. Thank you so much to all who came to our rescue, worked crazy hours, answered a ton of questions, offered advice and gave professional care and kindness to every detail. We appreciate you and thank you so much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We are so thankful for SERVPRO, we called them needing our AC units cleaned for summer time- it was a new house and they had black mold in them. Within 24 hours they sent out Eddie who gave a thorough check of the AC Units and educated us on the situation before ultimately suggesting to get new ones. I wouldn’t contact anyone else other than SERVPRO to give me an opinion. I appreciate their honesty and professional opinion when it comes to the air quality in my home. If you need a cleaning service these guys are top notch. Thanks Eddie and SERVPRO team for coming out so fast and helping us determine the best option for our home!
