Smoke spreads much further than flames. It travels through vents, settles into drywall, ceilings, cabinets and fabrics, and leaves an acidic residue that stains and corrodes within hours.

Air fresheners and paint cover the problem for a while, but the smell comes back on warm days. Our team cleans residue from every affected surface, cleans the ductwork, then deodorizes so the odour is gone for good.

Smoke Damage FAQ

What is smoke damage restoration?

Smoke damage restoration is the cleaning and deodorizing of a building and its contents after smoke from a fire, furnace puff-back or wildfire. It includes removing soot from walls, ceilings and ducts, cleaning belongings, scrubbing the air with HEPA filters, and removing smoke odour at the source.

Can smoke damage happen without a fire in my home?

Yes. Furnace puff-backs, candles, kitchen flare-ups, a fire in a neighbouring unit and northern BC wildfire smoke can all leave soot and odour in a home that never caught fire.

How long does smoke smell last?

Without professional cleaning, smoke odour can linger for months and returns on warm or humid days. After source cleaning and deodorization, most homes are odour-free within days.

Is smoke damage covered by insurance?

Most BC home insurance policies cover sudden smoke damage, including smoke from a nearby fire. Check your policy, and we will document the damage for your adjuster.
