Q: What is the most common cause of kitchen fires?

• <div><p>The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop. </p></div>

Q: How long does fire damage recovery take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.</p></div>

Q: Can smoke damage be completely removed?

• <div><p>In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smoke-damage-types.htm">types of smoke damage</a> from walls and ceilings, but it&rsquo;s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Is food cooked in a smoking oven safe to eat?

• <div><p>It depends. For new ovens, it&rsquo;s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won&rsquo;t hurt to eat it. If there&rsquo;s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won&rsquo;t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.</p></div>

Q: Can I restore fire or smoke damage myself?

• <div><p>DIY restoration for small areas is possible with proper safety gear and equipment, though comprehensive damage benefits from professional restoration.</p></div>

"Rob responded immediately to the Angie's list request. We made an appointment and he showed up on time. He immediately went to work and explained what he was doing when I asked him. He was very careful to put on slippers to replace his boots. He also laid a tarp to keep the dust from dirtying the fireplace hearth. He quickly assessed the ignition problem and fixed it. ($150) He then moved to rapidly clean the dryer vent ($140). He was professional throughout. I will hire him again."

"Shasha came to inspect the inside fireplace and outside chimney. A cleaning wasn’t necessary so he didn’t recommend it. He let us know about some caulking that needed to be done outside. My husband goes on the roof regularly so he didn’t push that service either. We ended up getting a free inspection. Very thankful to Noble Air for their service call!
