Protecting Your Home from Smoke damage

Time is crucial when dealing with smoke damage. Smoke can rapidly harm your home, discoloring walls within minutes and finishes on kitchen appliances within hours. It can cause etching in glass, tarnish metal, and corrode various materials throughout your property.

That's why it's essential to immediately reach out to a professional restoration company after experiencing a fire. ServiceMaster DSI - Chicago is available 24/7 to help minimize the damage to your home and initiate the restoration process promptly.

Our comprehensive soot and smoke damage cleaning process includes:

Cleaning any accumulated ash residue before it spreads.
Neutralizing unpleasant odors effectively.
Removing soot, odors, or stains from at-risk items, including tile, porcelain, chrome, brass, aluminum, and marble.
Cleaning carpets, fabrics, and upholstery.
Deodorizing curtains and carpeting before cleaning them.
Utilizing advanced chemicals that break down smoke molecules, effectively eliminating odors before dry cleaning your clothes.

In addition to seeking our professional services, here are some tips to help minimize soot and smoke 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 penetrate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, resulting in further damage.
Refrain from washing the walls, as this can compound the soot residue.

After a fire, it is crucial not to attempt to clean your home yourself. This type of cleanup requires the expertise of a professional team specializing in fire and smoke restoration. At ServiceMaster DSI - Chicago, we are available 24/7/365 to restore your home and provide you with peace of mind.
