Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don't start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
  • To suck out smokey air, position large fans towards open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
