Repairing Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues 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 soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
  • To fan out smoke, position large fans towards open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • 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 using odor counteractants.
