“I highly recommend this company, when looking for help with anything. My 89 year old mom had a small kitchen fire, but smoke everywhere filled her apartment. Not only were they efficient, fast and precise, the guys we dealt with were extremely nice, helpful and always available. No matter when I called them for help or questions he answered the phone, whether it was a Friday night, or Saturday or Sunday they were always available to help us. Grant you I don’t do that on a daily basis let alone a business phone. Very easy to work with, and agreeable. I just can’t say enough about them. I got their name from my sister in law who worked with them prior, she was so right. I let her know what a great recommendation she gave us and I wanted anyone to know that is looking for someone for this type of work you won’t go wrong.”

Effects of Smoke Damage

When it comes to smoke damage, don’t wait! The longer the smoke and soot stay in your home, the worse the effects could be on your home. Some of the effects of smoke damage are:

• Long-lasting odor that lingers after the smoke has been cleaned up. Smoke and soot can get inside porous and non-porous surfaces, making it nearly impossible to clean up completely without the help of professionals. If it’s not removed properly, the smell can linger for months or sometimes years.
• Stains and discoloration on a variety of surfaces. Depending on how long the soot was left in your home, you could be faced with a number of stains and discoloration on your furniture and appliances. While some stains can be removed, others may be permanent.
• Damage to walls and carpets. Even if it looks like the soot was completely removed, it’s possible that some smoke and soot got behind walls and under carpet. If this happens, the only way to completely restore the damage is to replace the contaminated item. The experts at Rapid Restoration can determine what can be restored and what needs to be replaced.
