Home · Services · Kitchen Fire Cleanup
Cleanup after a cooking or grease fire, where the flames may be small but the protein smoke coats the whole home.
Kitchen fires are the commonest residential fire here as everywhere: a stovetop event, little flame spread, and protein smoke through the whole home. The visible damage understates the job. Protein residue is nearly invisible, corrosive to finishes, and its odor survives casual cleaning for months. The cleanup tests residue before wiping anything, because the wrong first wipe sets protein smoke into painted surfaces, and the soot and odor phases run house-wide even when the burn fits on the stove.
A kitchen fire that looks minor can be the most deceptive fire loss: protein smoke is nearly invisible and its odor is the hardest to remove. If the smell is strong in rooms the fire never reached, the cleanup scope is the whole home, not the kitchen. Do not run the range hood or HVAC before the assessment; both spread it.
