Q: Is it safe to burn tree stumps?

• <div><p>Burning a single palm tree stump, if you&rsquo;re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you&rsquo;re burning multiple types of trees. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What should you not do after a house fire?

• <div><p>After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it&rsquo;s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs&mdash;and this is all likely covered by insurance.</p></div>

Q: What can damage a solar panel?

• <div><p>Just about anything that can damage your roof can damage a solar panel. It&rsquo;s common for panels to sustain damage from hail or falling branches. Critters can chew through the wires. Snow and heavy rainfall can cause additional wear, along with extreme temperatures, which can degrade or stress the individual components. Even the UV rays that create electricity slowly damage your panel over time.</p></div>

Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </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>

Scott did a super job on cleaning our gutters. He has also done other work for us… Replacing switch on stove, realigning a door so that it would fit securely and restarting our persnickety gas logs. He has always been on time and reasonably priced. We highly recommend him.

Incredible! The amount of detail Clean Sweep provides far exceeds expectations. They met with me the day before the service was to be provided, walked through, and let me know about everything ahead of time. They did an amazing job, cleaning corners of the house I didn't know people could clean.
