Q: Can a smoking oven lead to a fire?

• <div><p>As with any smoking appliance, a smoking oven is a concerning fire risk. It also negatively impacts your indoor air quality, which can put vulnerable people at risk of breathing problems. A dirty oven can catch fire if you don&rsquo;t stay on top of regular maintenance, so remember to check your oven for signs that it&rsquo;s time for a cleaning and remove buildup every three months to stay on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Does a seller have to disclose fire damage when selling a house?

• <div><p>Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect restoration costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on stone type, surface condition, labor, and whether sealing or deep cleaning is required.</p></div>

Q: Will smoke smell or odors go away on their own?

• <div><p>Smoke smell and odors typically will not go away completely on their own, especially once the particles have penetrated porous materials like walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. While airing out affected items can help the smell subside over time, it often lingers for months or even years. To effectively remove stubborn smoke odors, you should combine several methods. Start with a thorough deep cleaning and deodorizing using substances like baking soda or activated charcoal. Air purifiers can also help capture airborne particles. In severe cases, you may need to replace heavily damaged materials. If the smell persists after repeated treatments, consider hiring a professional smoke damage restoration company for assistance.</p></div>

Q: How do you get a smoke smell out of your house?

• <div><p>Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.</p></div>

Eli is a joy to work with. Communicated well. He did the job for 1/3 of the cost of the company that discovered the problem. I will continue to use him for cleaning services. He replaced a rusted chimney cap for us, and caulked some cracks in the firewall of our fire place. Highly recommend him.

"Eric and Riley did a great job for a very fair price, diagnosing and fixing of several problems that popped up. For anyone worried about price gouging, they showed a lot of integrity by replacing parts at no extra cost when they easily could have gotten by keeping mismatched but functioning accessories. Also, it is not cost-effective to dig into the gas lines and the firebox just to sell an upgrade. Outside work such as installing a color-coordinated chimney cap might yield a profit. Chimney Sweeps are very busy. I recommend getting on the books early or doing an off-season inspection. My fireplace is up and running, but I plan to get a level 2 inspection to have more knowledge and peace of mind about the house. In hindsight, I should have gotten a nicer log set, but I wanted to keep costs down in case I had to spend more on repairs."
