How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Your house can receive serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
  • To push out smoke, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
