Smoke Damage Restoration

There are four common types of smoke damage—dry smoke, protein residue, fuel or oil residue, and wet smoke. The type of residue left behind depends on the materials involved, the temperature of the fire, and where the fire occurred, which is why proper identification is an important part of the restoration process.

Smoke Odor Removal

Smoke odor does not disappear on its own after a fire. Odors can penetrate porous materials such as drywall, paint, carpeting, flooring, furniture, and other surfaces, making professional smoke odor removal an important part of the restoration process.

Soot Removal & Cleanup

Soot left behind after a fire can be hazardous, as it may contain chemicals, acids, plastics, and other caustic materials. Because soot can spread and cause additional damage if not handled properly, professional soot removal and cleanup by a restoration company is recommended.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

After a fire, knowing what to do — and what to avoid — can help minimize damage, protect your belongings, and keep your property safer until professional help arrives.

Taking the right steps early can help reduce smoke damage and protect your belongings.

  • Stay calm and assess the situation safely.
  • Open windows for ventilation if weather conditions allow.
  • Remove children and pets (especially birds) to a clean, safe environment.
  • Keep your hands clean to avoid spreading soot to other surfaces.
  • Close doors in affected areas to help limit the spread of smoke and odors.
  • Remove food from refrigerators and freezers if the power is off, and leave doors open.
  • Cover air registers with damp cheesecloth to help prevent soot from entering your HVAC system.
  • Call CLEAN-TEC at 831-457-8666 for immediate assistance.

Avoid these common mistakes, which can spread contamination, worsen damage, or make restoration more difficult:

  • Do not wipe or wash soot and residues from walls, ceilings, or other absorbent surfaces.
  • Do not use carpets or upholstered furniture affected by smoke residue or debris.
  • Do not consume food or canned goods exposed to heat, smoke, or fire damage.
  • Do not turn on TVs, electronics, or appliances until they have been professionally inspected.
  • Do not send smoke-affected clothing to a standard dry cleaner, as improper cleaning can permanently set smoke odors. Use a professional fabric restoration service.
  • Avoid walking on affected carpets and floors unless you place clean sheets or towels down to prevent spreading soot.

A professional fire damage restoration company helps guide you through the recovery process, from the initial assessment to final cleanup and restoration.

  • Perform a thorough inspection of fire, smoke, soot, and odor damage.
  • Identify affected areas and create a restoration plan.
  • Secure the property to help prevent additional damage.
  • Remove damaged materials and affected contents when needed.
  • Clean and restore surfaces affected by smoke and soot.
  • Perform smoke odor removal and deodorization.
  • Use specialized equipment and restoration techniques to help return your property to a safe, clean condition.
  • Communicate clearly throughout the restoration process.
