Frequently asked questions
What if there is smoke but no visible flame?
Smoke and soot can travel and odors can settle even without a large flame event. Call so we can assess the source and affected materials.
Is contents cleanup different from structure cleanup?
Yes. Contents may need pack-out, cleaning, deodorizing, and storage while the structure needs surface cleaning and preparation for rebuild.
What should I do before you arrive?
Do not smear soot or attempt aggressive cleaning. If safe, limit movement through affected areas and wait for professional guidance.
