Fire Damage Restoration Peekskill | Zicklin Contracting
Peekskill sits up on the hill with the Hudson down below. Streets climb and drop. Houses range from old brick Victorians downtown to family homes tucked into the slopes. A fire can start in any of them – a heater in a basement on South Street, wiring in an attic off Nelson Avenue, or a cooking accident in one of the larger places near the waterfront. The flames go out. What’s left is a building full of water, soot, and that thick smell that makes every room feel wrong.

Restoration Phases
Secure the property and remove standing water
Dry the structure thoroughly with constant monitoring
Clean soot, residue, and odors completely
Repair structure and rebuild interior/exterior
The town has its own weather. Close to the river, air stays damp. Water from firefighting soaks in and stays. It finds its way into floor joists, behind plaster, down foundation walls. Mold shows up fast if drying isn’t done right. Many homes here are from the late 1800s or early 1900s – heavy plaster, original floors, detailed trim. They hold smoke deep. Renovated properties with bigger rooms let damage travel more easily.
We have been doing fire damage restoration in Peekskill for more than 38 years. The job means knowing the town’s mix of historic buildings, steep terrain, and the way moisture changes everything.
