Commercial and Industrial Fire, Smoke and Water Damage Cleanup

Clean Metro, Inc. is a commercial and industrial fire, smoke, and water damage cleanup contractor based in West Columbia, SC, serving SC, NC, GA and TN. After a fire in a food plant maintenance room, we removed the damaged materials and cleaned the room back into service.

When a fire, smoke event, or water loss hits a plant, warehouse, or commercial building, we extract the water, dry the space, remove damaged materials, and clean it back to production-ready. We work direct for facility owners or under a restoration firm's or adjuster's scope.

What we clean

  • Water extraction
  • Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers
  • Soot and smoke residue cleaning on ceilings, walls, structure, and floors
  • Removal and disposal of fire- and water-damaged materials
  • Selective demo to the rebuild cut lines
  • HEPA vacuuming and detail cleaning of equipment and overheads
  • Final clean before rebuild or restart

How we do it

Crews work in Tyvek, respirators, and gloves, with HEPA air scrubbers running. CMI-owned extraction and drying equipment is backed by rental accounts with United Rentals, Sunbelt, and Herc for large losses and lifts. Mold remediation is not offered.

Who calls us

Plant and facility managers after a loss, restoration companies that need an industrial-capable crew with lifts and plant safety credentials, and general contractors on rebuild scopes.

Food plant maintenance room fire

At a food-grade manufacturing facility, a spontaneous combustion fire in a maintenance room left smoke and fire damage overhead and on the floor. Clean Metro removed the damaged materials and cleaned the ceiling and floor so the room could go back into service inside a food plant.
