How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Your building can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Turn off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to fan out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • 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.
