How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your AC.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to push out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture with a cloth.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
