Smoke Damage Cleanup

Our local smoke damage cleanup professionals handle complete soot removal from walls, ceilings, and surfaces, HVAC system decontamination, content cleaning and restoration, odor neutralization using industrial-grade equipment — ozone generators, thermal foggers, hydroxyl units — and air quality restoration services. Smoke cleanup is available for residential fire events, kitchen fires, and wildfire smoke exposure across our nationwide professional network.

Not effectively, no. Soot from residential fires permanently damages surfaces if handled incorrectly, and standard cleaning products aren't designed for it. Smoke odors embed into drywall, insulation, soft furnishings, and HVAC ductwork in ways that surface cleaning can't reach. Attempting DIY smoke cleanup without the right equipment typically spreads soot further and doesn't address odors at their source. Professional smoke damage cleanup is the only reliable path to a fully restored property.

Smoke damage cleanup costs depend on how far smoke spread through the property, how many rooms are affected, and what materials require professional treatment. Light smoke damage in a contained area can run $2,000 to $5,000, while more extensive events where smoke traveled through multiple rooms and HVAC systems can cost $8,000 to $20,000 or more. Most homeowners insurance policies cover smoke damage from a covered fire event — and our professionals document the full scope to support your claim.
