St. George Smoke Damage

When you hear the term smoke damage regarding a home in St. George, you may automatically think of the smoke damage occurring from a devastating fire or from smokers living in the home. Smoke damage can occur from simple things, such as frequent cooking without a working above stove fan, not properly vented fireplace or wood burning stove, and even wildfires close by outdoors. Of course, the damage from a home fire will be much more severe than burning a roast. Each time smoke enters your home whether from cooking, burning a fire, a common wildfire in St. George, this smoke needs to be vented immediately to avoid it penetrating the carpet, paint and drywall of your home.

Ways to avoid smoke damage in high quantities or small amounts built up over time, its good practice to keep fans running when cooking, clean and service chimneys, and have your ventilation system cleaned regularly.
