How to Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
  • To suck out smokey air, 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.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
