Time is of the Essence When Dealing With Smoke Damage
Smoke can rapidly damage your home. In just a few minutes, it can discolor walls, and within hours, it can tarnish finishes on kitchen appliances. Other smoke damage includes etching in glass, tarnished metal, and damage and corrosion to various materials throughout your property. That's why it's crucial to immediately reach out to a professional restoration company after experiencing a fire. ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Chico is available 24/7 to help minimize the damage to your home and promptly initiate the restoration process.

Tips to Minimize Soot and Smoke Damage
In addition to contacting ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Chico for professional assistance with your home's restoration, there are measures you can take to help minimize damage to your property:
- If the temperature permits, air out your house to reduce smoke odor.
- Change the air filter on your forced hot air furnace.
- Avoid touching any damaged areas with your hands, as the oils from your skin can further permeate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, exacerbating the damage.
- Do not attempt to wash the walls, as this will only compound the residue from soot.
