Fire Damage Can Be Remediated

Each Paul Davis franchise provides 24/7 emergency smoke remediation services. Contact us immediately, so we’ll be able to reduce costly fire and smoke damages to your building.

You Can Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
  • To push out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Clean hard surfaces with a cloth.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
