A small kitchen fire can cause damage to several rooms and personal items without you even calling the Fire Department. No matter how big or small the fire was – the damage is done. Smoke damage is a health risk and should not be taken lightly. The smoke may clean quickly but its most likely found it way in your HVAC vents, walls, and your furnishings. Soot damage is common after a fire – it's black and it can cling to surfaces such as walls and ceilings and the contents of your home. Being proactive and quick on the removal of soot and smoke damage is imperative. This task is not an easy one and having your home professional cleaned is your best alternative to making sure your home is clean and safe for your family.
