"Paula and her team were OUTSTANDING. It was just after the hurricanes and all water remediation services were swamped, no pun intended. She answered the call and said she could squeeze me in. 18 hours later we had a quote and 24 hours later her team started work to mitigate water intrusion in the basement. Beyond stellar work, Paula consistently communicated and even followed up after payment to ensure there were no issues. Completely satisfied and would highly recommend calling Flood and Flame."

"Do not hire this company. Save yourself the hassle. They literally messed up every bit of work after a fire restoration. Communication is horribleâ ¦very slow process. Horrible work. I do not like giving bad reviews but I felt obligated to warn others. This is by far the worst work on a house that Iâ ve ever seen. I donâ t even think they did anything by code. This company shouldnâ t be allowed to operate."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Most smoke odors will subside over time if you air out the materials holding onto them, but they often won’t completely go away on their own. If you’re dealing with stubborn smoke odors on furniture and building materials, begin by deep cleaning and deodorizing with baking soda or activated charcoal. You may need to repeat treatment. If that doesn’t work, hire a smoke damage restoration company for help.

Costs depend on the extent of damage, material restoration, labor, and emergency service requirements.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.
