Handling Smoke Damage after a   
Fire – Getting Soot and Smoke Out

You may be anxious to clean your home after a fire, but unless you
take the time to get professional advice, you may be wasting your
efforts or creating further damage. Contact your insurance agency
immediately once the fire is out. He or she can provide advice on
restoration or replacement of damaged items. If you rent, notify the
owner so both of you can assess the damage.
Your insurance agent may be able to recommend a professional
fire restorer. Fire restorers can provide hints to prevent further
damage, help determine which items can or cannot be refurbished,
and provide estimates and services for thoroughly cleaning and
deodorizing your home. Their services can be expensive, but the
cost may be substantially less than the cost of replacing damaged
furnishings and floors. You can find the names of fire restorers in
the yellow pages of the phone directory under “Carpet and
Upholstery Cleaners” or “Fire and Water Damage Restoration.”
