Pay for professional cleaning

After documenting any smoke damages from a fire and speaking with your insurance agency, you should pay for professional cleaners or remediation experts to enter your home. Most insurance policies will cover professional cleaning costs (check to make sure).

It’s unsafe for you to clean your home after a fire. Soot and ash can have lifelong effects on your health. Professional cleaners and remediation teams have specialized equipment and personal protection devices to safeguard them against smoke damage in your home.

They can immediately get to work with industrial vacuum cleaners and carpet cleaners to clean up the smoke damage.
Many homeowners will try to clean up smoke damage themselves, only to realize that water-based cleaners only make the stains worse.

In more extreme cases, you may also have to pay to deodorize the house or replace insulation in the walls or attic. However, professional cleaning or remediation is a good start.
