How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

We all know how damaging fire can be in a building. However, many people don’t realize that fire has other harmful elements. Smoke odor can overwhelm building materials and personal belongings and smoke soot can seriously damage walls that weren’t burned by flames.

When an emergency strikes, every Paul Davis franchise provides 24/7 emergency smoke restoration services. Contact us immediately. We’ll be able to lessen the cost of fire and smoke damages to your house.

Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Your building can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

Turn off your HVAC system to stop smoke from spreading.
Position large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
Clean countertops and furniture with a cloth.
Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
Clean every item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
