Your priority is safety. Do not re-enter your property until the fire department has declared it safe. Once you have the all-clear, follow these important dos and don'ts.





What You MUST DO:


  • Call for Professional Help Immediately: Call our 24/7 Warsaw, VA emergency line at 18335410100. Soot and smoke are acidic and will cause further damage (etching, staining) if not treated quickly.
  • Limit Movement: Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being ground into carpets and upholstery.

  • Secure Important Documents: If safe, retrieve critical documents like insurance policies, passports, and financial records.

Smoke & Soot Cleanup

What You MUST NOT DO:


  • Do NOT Attempt to Clean Soot Yourself: This is the most important rule. Soot is oily and embeds itself in surfaces. Wiping it with a standard cloth or sponge will only smear and permanently set the stain. Specialized techniques are required.
  • Do NOT Use Electronics: Do not turn on any TVs, computers, or appliances. Soot can get inside and short-circuit the electronics when powered on.
  • Do NOT Use Upholstered Furniture: Do not sit on or try to clean upholstered furniture or carpets. You will embed the soot.
  • Do NOT Eat Any Food: Dispose of all food and beverages, including canned goods, that were exposed to the fire, heat, or smoke.
  • Do NOT Turn on Your HVAC System: This will circulate soot and contaminants throughout your entire Warsaw, VA home, causing cross-contamination.Our professional team will arrive at your Warsaw, VA home, secure the property (e.g., board-up windows), assess the damage from fire, soot, and water, and begin the restoration process.
