Fire restoration and smoke cleanup in Flint

What fire jobs look like in Flint

Flint had 81,252 residents at the 2020 Census, down from 102,434 in 2010, and that decline shows in the housing: many rentals, some vacant houses and a lot of older homes with deferred maintenance.

That shapes the work. After a fire, the first priority is often protecting a house nobody is living in: board-up, fencing, draining the plumbing in winter and regular checks. The cleanup and rebuild follow once the owner and the insurer have decided the next step.

Flint housing and what it means after a fire

Flint's median home was built in 1954, nearly a third of its homes went up in the 1950s, and about a quarter predate 1940. Most are detached single-family houses, many with basements and older wiring.

Older materials mean testing before tear-out, and older wiring means electrical fires are a common cause. In vacant houses, cold weather and trespassing do as much damage as the fire if the house is not secured and winterized quickly.
