Repairing Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups 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 seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your HVAC system.
  • Move large fans towards open windows and doors to push out the smoke.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a rag to clean hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
