Smoke Damage Cleanup in Clinton Township, MI

Quick answer

Cleaning smoke residue through Clinton Township homes, ducts and finished basements included, sequenced by residue type.

Smoke damage cleanup in Clinton Township is whole house work by default: the subdivision stock's forced air systems and open ranch and colonial plans move smoke far beyond the room of origin. Cleaning is sequenced by residue type and surface, the duct system is cleaned as part of the house, and attached garages, a common origin here, get their own residue read because vehicle and fuel fires write a different smoke.

Signs you need smoke damage cleanup

Walls and ceilings carry a gray or black film, worst near the ceiling line
A smoke smell returns every time the house warms up or the air runs
Rooms far from the fire smell as strong as the room that burned
Light colored paint, blinds, and fabrics have yellowed or grayed

What the job involves

1. Do not wipe walls or run the heating and air system before the assessment; both spread and set smoke residue.

2. The crew tests residue type, because greasy protein smoke and dry wood smoke clean differently.

3. Surfaces are dry cleaned first with chemical sponges, then wet cleaned where the material allows.

4. Soft goods and contents are sorted into cleanable and not cleanable, and you decide on anything with sentimental value.

5. Ducts and the air handler are checked, since a system that ran during the fire can distribute soot through the whole house.

What affects the price

How much of the home the smoke reached, which is usually more than the fire did
Type of smoke: protein (kitchen) smoke is nearly invisible but far more corrosive to finishes
Whether ducts and the HVAC system need cleaning
How much contents cleaning is involved versus wall and ceiling work
Whether repainting with a sealant primer is needed after cleaning

When it is an emergency

Smoke damage is not an emergency tonight unless the fire just happened, but do not run the furnace or air conditioning, and do not start wiping walls. Soot is acidic and starts permanently damaging metals, fixtures, and finishes within 24 to 48 hours, so the assessment should happen in the first day or two.
