"I interviewed several pros to remove mold in my basement and asked copious questions. Only Mark could answer all my questions. He also took my concerns and what I wanted seriously. Mark’s team were professional young gentlemen that respected my home. I trusted them to do the work while I was out of the house to avoid the mold and the chemicals since I have asthma. I will be hiring them again for ongoing projects as we now have a trusted relationship. Thank you Mark for putting my worries to rest and doing the job right to eradicate the mold/mildew in my basement. "

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.

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.
