Some Tips on What You Should & Shouldn’t Do to Minimize Soot and Smoke Damage
With a legacy of over 65 years in the field, ServiceMaster by Elite Restoration brings unparalleled experience and expertise to aid in your recovery from soot and smoke damage. While it is crucial to engage our services for the restoration of your home, there are also specific steps you can take to help limit the damage to your property:
- Ventilate your home by opening windows and doors, weather permitting, to diminish the presence of smoke odors.
- If your heating system utilizes forced hot air, replace the air filter.
- Refrain from making contact with affected surfaces using your bare hands, as oils from your skin can penetrate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, exacerbating the damage.
- Resist the temptation to wash the walls as it may intensify the soot residue.
In essence, it is crucial to avoid attempting to clean your home post-fire by yourself. This specialized cleanup demands the skills of a professional team with expertise in fire and smoke restoration. We stand ready, 24/7/365, to aid in the restoration of your home and provide peace of mind.
