Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your air conditioning.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck 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 create stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture with a cloth.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
