Why Matthews homes take this damage
Shared-wall unit fires

Older in-town Matthews wiring is a real ignition source and carries heat past the visible burn.Kitchen fires

Board-up & utility shutoff
Once the fire department releases the structure, the company secures it — boarding openings and tarping the roof — and confirms utilities are safely off.
Suppression-water extraction & drying
The water used to fight the fire is extracted and the structure is dried before it drives mold, which happens fast in Charlotte’s humid climate.
Soot & smoke cleaning
Surfaces, contents and the HVAC are cleaned by residue type — dry, wet or protein soot each need a different method.
Deodorization & rebuild
Odor is neutralized at the source with thermal fog, hydroxyl or ozone, then damaged materials are rebuilt.
