Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Shut off your air conditioning so smoke won't spread.
  • Move large fans towards open windows and doors to push out the smokey air.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
