"Leo arrived promptly and proceeded to clean the vents. He replaced the vent tubbing on my dryer and connected my dryer to the outside vent. He was very efficient and clean in doing his work. He was very pleasant in his demeanor. After four days, I was finally able to use my dryer."
"Texted 30 minutes before arriving to let me know he was on his way. Wore a mask for COVID protection which I appreciated since he was going to be in my house. I wore one also. Thorough job of cleaning the firebox and sweeping the chimney. Prepped the area with drop cloths and barrier around fireplace beforehand. Took pictures and showed me what he saw. Got on the roof to inspect the chimney. Explained everything he was noticing and what needed attention. Took pictures and videos of where the roof meets the chimney. Roofers did not apply flashing when the roof was replaced several years ago causing water to be directed towards the chimney instead of away and off of the roof. Rain seeping into the chimney and dripping into the fireplace from this morning’s rain. Very professional. I felt confident to hire the same company to do the needed repairs. Detailed estimate was very clear. Repair scheduled for the same week. Ray went into the attic to make sure there were no leaks from chimney. Would definitely recommend to others and in fact have already done so."
"I love the fact that they were upfront about the initial cost before coming out. They came out quickly and when we had a problem, they set the expectation of what happens next, what was emergent and what could wait. They offered advice on how we could prolong the usable life of our chimney. I highly recommend them."

It depends. For new ovens, it’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’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.
The timeline for fire damage restoration varies significantly, from a day or two to over a year, depending on the extent of the damage. For minor incidents like a small cooking fire, cleaning up soot and removing smoke odors may only take a day or two. Repairing minor damage might take about one to two weeks. However, a major fire requiring structural repairs, full property renovation, and replacement of materials can take anywhere from six to 12 months to over a year. This longer timeline often includes waiting for insurance approvals and contractor scheduling. It's best to consult with your insurance provider and restoration team to get an accurate timeline for your specific situation.
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.
Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.
Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.
