Your building can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your HVAC system.
