Smoke Damage? We’ll Clear It Out for Good.
Smoke in Your Home Right Now? Do This First.
Four steps while our crew is on the way.
Wait for the all clear.
Don’t go back inside until the fire department says it’s safe.
Shut off your HVAC.
Running it pulls soot through the ducts and into clean rooms.
Don’t wipe the soot.
Wiping grinds it into paint and fabric and sets the stain for good.
Call Bloque.
We’ll guide you through the rest and get a crew moving. Don’t wait to see if the smell fades on its own.
Smoke Damage Gets Worse Every Hour It Sits.
Within Minutes
Soot settles into carpet, drapes, and upholstery. Porous surfaces start absorbing the odor.
Within Hours
Soot is acidic. Appliances and bathroom fixtures start to yellow. Grout and countertops stain.
Within Days
Walls yellow permanently. Metal corrodes. Wood and vinyl discolor past the point of cleaning.
Within Weeks
Etching in glass and chrome sets in for good. A cleaning job turns into a replacement job.
Smoke Damage Services We Handle
Emergency Smoke Damage Cleanup
Soot keeps working the longer it sits. We get on site fast and stop the damage from setting in.
Soot and Residue Removal
Different fires leave different residues, and each one cleans differently. We identify what we’re dealing with and remove it without grinding it deeper.
Smoke Odor Removal
Masking the smell isn’t removing it. We treat the source in the walls, carpet, and framing so the odor doesn’t come back in a month.
Smoke Damage Cleaning for Contents
Furniture, clothing, electronics, and keepsakes absorb smoke. We clean what can be saved and document what can’t.
HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning
Your air system pulls smoke into every room in the house. We clean the ducts so your home stops re-circulating the smell.
Smoke Damage Repair and Rebuild
We don’t stop at clean. We seal, prime, paint, and rebuild the drywall, flooring, and finishes the smoke damaged.
How Our Smoke Damage Restoration Works
Four steps, one team, one project manager the whole way through.
Rapid Response and Assessment
We dispatch same-day. On arrival we test the residue and map how far the smoke traveled, including the rooms that look clean.
Soot and Residue Removal
We remove the soot with the method that matches the residue. Wrong method, permanent stain. We get this right the first time.
Cleaning and Odor Removal
We clean surfaces and contents, clear the duct system, and treat the odor at the source until the smell is gone.
Repair and Rebuild
We put your home back together. Same crew, same project manager, no subcontractor handoffs, no strangers finishing what we started.
Understanding Smoke Damage
What Is Considered Smoke Damage?
Smoke damage is any damage caused by smoke, soot, and the odor they leave behind. It counts as smoke damage even when the flames never reached the room. Smoke travels, and it damages what it settles on.
Smoke damage shows up in four ways:
- Soot residue on walls, ceilings, and surfaces
- Odor absorbed into carpet, drywall, insulation, and framing
- Staining and discoloration on paint, grout, fixtures, and appliances
- Corrosion and etching on metal, glass, and electronics
Common causes of smoke damage in the Phoenix Valley:
- Kitchen fires, including grease and oven fires
- Electrical fires inside walls, panels, or outlets
- Furnace puff backs and HVAC system failures
- Candles, fireplaces, and space heaters
- A fire in a neighboring unit or nearby home
- Wildfire smoke pulled in through the air system
Smoke damage vs. fire damage
These get used interchangeably, but they’re different problems.
Fire damage is what the flames destroyed. It’s visible and it stops where the fire stopped.
Smoke damage is what the smoke and soot reached. It spreads through the whole house, including rooms that look untouched.
Smoke damage is usually the bigger job. A small kitchen fire can leave soot and odor in every room. Bloque handles both, with one team and one project manager from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Insurance
Does Insurance Cover Smoke Damage?
Most homeowners policies cover smoke damage, but what’s covered depends on the cause and the terms of your policy. Smoke damage from a sudden accidental fire is typically covered. Damage from long-term exposure, like years of cigarette smoke, usually isn’t.
We can’t tell you what your policy covers. Your adjuster does that. What we do is document the damage from the moment we arrive and communicate directly with your insurer, so you aren’t managing the claim alone.
What to do before you clean anything:
- Photograph every room, including the ones that look fine
- Don’t throw anything away until it’s documented
- Get a professional assessment of how far the smoke traveled
- Keep receipts for lodging, meals, and anything you replace
Cleaning before you document can cost you on the claim. Call us first and we’ll document it with you.
