How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke will soak 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 air conditioning.
  • Position large fans towards open windows and doors to push out the smokey air.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could create stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean any item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
