Fire Damage Can Be Remediated

How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Your home can receive serious smoke damage without a major fire. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
  • To push out smokey air, move large fans towards open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
