How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Fire can cause significant damage to a building. However, many people are unaware of the other harmful elements of a fire. Your building materials and personal belongings can be overtaken by smoke odor, while smoke soot can seriously stain walls that weren't burned by flames. Fires can have damaging effects on both to your family and your home. Damages to your cherished keepsakes can be devastating. That's why our fire restoration technicians are here to help restore your damaged possessions. At Paul Davis, each of our franchises offers 24/7 emergency smoke restoration services. Contact us immediately, so we can reduce the cost of fire and smoke damage to your home.

Repairing Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don't start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Shut off your AC so smoke won't spread.
  • Position large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
