"He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Told us about the insert we had from purchase of the house. Explained about chimneys and their upkeep. Showed us pictures he took of his inspection of the chimney, explained the cause and how to mitigate. He’s coming back to do repairs of the chimney. The flew and pipe are fine and now clean."
"Sam was very professional. I had to cancel our first appointment and he worked with me and was very accommodating. He cleaned (there was NO mess), saved the ashes for my garden, and repairs our chimney. Since the chimney was not too damaged, he just fixed it at not additional cost. It would have been easy for him to just fix it and charged us. I highly recommend this service for any chimney and stove cleanings and repairs. He has integrity."

"Bryan and his team have been cleaning my house for several months. They come every two weeks, and my house is shining when they're done. I have hardwood floors throughout the first floor, and they vacuum/sweep and then use a hardwood floor mop on it. For some reason my house gets *REALLY REALLY* dusty, but after they've come it's GONE!"

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more.

Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive and unstable gas that effectively neutralizes smoke odors through a process called oxidation. It 'donates' its extra oxygen molecule to the organic compounds causing the smell, altering their structure and eliminating the odor, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. This method can be effective on building materials and furniture. However, because improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health, this treatment is best left to a professional.
It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.
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 things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.
