How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Your building can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire. If you don’t act quickly, smaller kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your AC to stop spreading smoke.
  • To fan out smoke, put large fans by open windows and doors.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
