Fire can be very destructive to a building. However, many people don’t know that fire has other harmful elements.

Repairing Smoke Damage
Your home can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. If you don’t act quickly, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
- Shut off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
- Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
- Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
- Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean every household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
- Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
