"I truly can’t say enough good things about Liam from Best Garage Door! He came out to tackle a couple of issues at my house, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. First, he installed a new open-air system for my garage door and finally put an end to that annoying, creaky noise that had been driving me up the wall. The difference is night and day—smooth, quiet, and perfect. On top of that, Liam went above and beyond by sweeping my chimney while he was here. Talk about a multi-talented technician! He was professional, friendly, and clearly knew his stuff. If you need any work done, Liam’s your guy—hands down the best service I’ve had in a long time. Thanks, Best Garage Door, for sending such a gem! You guys are five stars in my book!"

Chimney Sweep FAQs, answered by experts

The first step is removing water or chemical residue, if applicable, after extinguishing. Next, your professional will clean up soot, remove damaged materials, treat the smoke damage, and complete any necessary structural repairs. After that, your pro will begin the build-back process and install finishes to restore your home to its previous condition.

If untreated, smoke damage is definitely toxic. Carbon and tar are two types of toxic chemicals in smoke that can damage your lungs and other parts of your body if you breathe them in for long periods of time. If you still smell smoke after the fire, it’s important that you call your restoration team for support.

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Professionals remove soot, restore structural integrity, and eliminate smoke odors safely.

In many cases, homeowners insurance covers smoke damage remediation, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the specifics of your policy. Typically, damage from a house fire, wildfire, or even a fire in a neighboring home is covered. However, damage from cigarette smoke is generally not covered.

Before filing a claim, review your policy to understand what is covered, such as restoration costs, replacement of damaged items, and temporary relocation. It's crucial to document all damage thoroughly, including to furniture and personal belongings. Contact your insurance provider promptly to start the claim process and get an evaluation before hiring professionals. Your insurer may also provide a list of approved smoke remediation companies to streamline the process.
