We are also happy that we can help you feel good knowing that you are working with a reputable company that stands behind its products and services.

"I hired Secure Seismic to do a retrofit of my single story ranch built in the 1970s. Though I'm in the southern Willamette Valley and a ways from Portland, Daryl came down to give me a free estimate. Secure Seismic came in below their competitors and Daryl discusssd the plan with me in depth. Based upon the quality of the reviews, I hired Secure Seismic. They scheduled out within a couple of weeks. Johny the foreman kept me on the loop while they were at my house. They completed the job within a day and left the site clean. Pieces of drywall cut for access in the garage were thoughtfully replaced and will take little effort to clean up. Thanks for great work! I already sleep a little better knowing that my house will likely be okay when the big one hits."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Restoration timelines vary significantly, often taking weeks to several months, depending on the extent of the damage and the materials required.

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
