Q: What happens to stucco in a fire?

• <div><p>All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won&rsquo;t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.</p></div>

Q: How long does fire damage recovery take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.</p></div>

Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </p></div>

Q: Can I repair major damage myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.</p></div>

Q: Do services include smoke odor removal?

We needed a cleaning service that could clean our home every other week. We found Clean Sweep, and are happy to have them come. They split the work that needs to be done, and have it done in about an hour and 15 minutes, once they were accomodated to the tasks we needed done. We would recommend...

He did all the points of the inspection, but basically told us "sorry but we can't help you". We have a north side chimney that sticks out of our house. He said even if we would totally air tight seal the chimney the empty space around the curvature of the tube (?) would still be drafty. We...
