Tips for Minimizing Soot and Smoke Damage
Backed by a national brand with over 65 years of experience, ServiceMaster by T.A. Russell has the expertise to guide you through recovery. While our team handles the restoration, there are a few steps you can take to help reduce the damage:
- If weather permits, air out your home to lessen smoke odor.
- Replace the air filter in your furnace if you use forced hot air.
- Avoid touching damaged areas with your hands, as the oils from your skin can cause further damage to walls, woodwork, and upholstery.
- Refrain from washing the walls, as this can exacerbate soot residue.
In short, leave the post-fire cleanup to the professionals. Fire and smoke restoration requires specialized knowledge and equipment, and our team is ready to restore your home and your peace of mind 24/7/365.
