The residue that a fire leaves behind can be hazardous and result in health problems for anyone in your home if it is not immediately addressed by professionals. Our experienced team will quickly and thoroughly assess the smoke and soot damage and determine the cost of the restoration. We’ll also examine other areas in your home to uncover any damage caused by the firefighting process. Once we accurately assess the damage, we’ll provide you with an estimate for our cleaning and restoration services.
Time is of the Essence When Dealing With Smoke Damage
Smoke can quickly damage your home. It only takes a few minutes for it to discolor walls, and in a matter of hours, it can discolor finishes on kitchen appliances. Other smoke damage includes etching in glass, tarnished metal, and damage and corrosion to other materials throughout your property.
That's why it’s crucial to immediately reach out to a professional restoration company after experiencing a fire. ServiceMaster Cleaning & Restoration by ERS is available 24/7 to help minimize the damage to your home and get started on the restoration right away.

Tips on how to Minimize Soot and Smoke Damage
ServiceMaster Cleaning & Restoration by ERS has the expertise and training to help you recover from soot and smoke damage. In addition to calling us to assist you with your home’s restoration, there are a few measures you can take to help minimize the damage to your property:
- Air out your house to reduce smoke odor if the temperature permits
- Change the air filter on your furnace if you use forced hot air
- Avoid touching any damaged areas with your hands, as the oils from your skin can permeate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, resulting in further damage
- Do not try to wash the walls—this can only compound the soot residue
