Smoke/soot cleanup checklist: what to do first
If the Fire Department has cleared the property and it’s safe:
1. Do not touch soot on walls/ceilings—incorrect cleaning can smear or set staining.
2. Don’t turn on HVAC (smoke particles can spread through the system).
3. Open windows only if it won’t spread soot into clean areas (avoid strong cross-breezes).
4. Take photos/videos of affected rooms and contents for your records and insurance claim (if applicable).
5. Avoid DIY odor “masking.” Deodorizing without proper source removal often fails.
6. Call for smoke cleanup to stabilize residues and plan cleaning and deodorization.

The fire & smoke cleanup process
Assessment + safety planning
We assess affected rooms, soot type/extent, odor severity, and what materials are impacted (including contents)
Stabilize + protect clean areas
When needed, we set containment approaches and protect unaffected spaces to reduce cross-contamination.
HEPA filtration / air scrubbing
We use HEPA filtration to help manage airborne particles during cleaning and cleanup.
Soot and smoke residue removal
We clean surfaces using methods appropriate to the material type and residue severity.
Contents evaluation + cleaning
We evaluate what may be restorable and outline cleaning steps for salvageable contents when possible.
Odor removal plan
We address smoke odor with an approach based on what was burned, where odor migrated, and what materials absorbed residues.
Final review + next steps
We confirm what was cleaned, what may still need repair/replacement, and outline next steps if rebuild/restoration is required.
Equipment & verification
Smoke cleanup commonly involves HEPA filtration, specialized cleaning methods, and documentation to guide scope and next steps.
What can be cleaned vs. what may need replacement
Not everything impacted by smoke and soot is automatically a total loss. In many cases:
- Some hard surfaces can be cleaned effectively
- Some contents can be restored depending on exposure and material type
- Heavily impacted porous materials may need removal if residues are deep or widespread
We’ll explain the reasoning clearly after assessment.
Insurance documentation for smoke and soot cleanup (when applicable)
Coverage depends on your policy and cause of loss. When applicable, we provide documentation and help communicate scope—so the claim process is better supported.
What we can provide (when applicable)
Photos of affected areas and contents - Notes on soot/smoke impact zones and affected materials - Documentation of cleaning steps performed - Next-step recommendations (repair/rebuild if needed) - Support communicating needed information for the claim process
