Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Lewiston Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Lewiston, ME insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Lewiston properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Our Guarantee

What Meridian Smoke Damage Promises Every Lewiston Customer

Coverage area map for Lewiston and nearby zips

The Lewiston area traces its roots to 1669 with the early presence of the Androscoggin tribe (the namesake of the county in which the city resides). In the late 18th century, in 1795, Lewiston was incorporated as Lewistown. The presence of the Androscoggin River and Lewistown Falls made the town an attractive area for manufacturing and hydro-power businesses. The rise of Boston rail and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates saw rapid economic growth rivaling that of Cambridge, Worcester, and Concord. Irish immigrants were recruited to build the railroad links and dig the canals for the textile mills. The Irish stayed, and worked the mills and established flourishing businesses, as evidenced by the McGillicuddy, Callahan, and other Blocks and the St.Joseph's and St.Patrick's churches. In the 1850 Census Lewiston was fully 23% Irish born. The increase in economic stimulus prompted thousands of Quebecers to migrate, causing a population boom; the populace rose from 1,801 in 1840 to 21,701 in 1890. In 1855, local preacher Oren Burbank Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the first coeducational university in New England and one of the first universities to admit black students before the Emancipation Proclamation. Lewistown quickly became associated with the liberal arts and was incorporated as "Lewiston" in 1864, a year before the college was chartered as Bates College.
