Home repair and fire and water damage we service everyting in your home, including kitchens, roofing, siding and windows.

"I had the pleasure of working with Chris on 12/27/20. We had the unpleasant task of a major sewer line backup and overflow in an apartment building that I manage. The ceilings on the first floor had fallen in, and poo water was everywhere. He was absolutely no nonsense professional in getting a stinky situation under control. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and he wasted no time doing it in a thorough and professional manner. He was helpful through the entire project, from cleaning up the nastiness, to dealing with the insurance company, and getting the tenants back into their home. I would absolutely recommend using their services, and I am sure the situation will arise again. As a general handyman, this was way out of my realm, and I am grateful to have found Chris, and Paul Davis from Hardwick, VT."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.

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.
