When people think of fire damage, they might sometimes forget that smoke damage is a part of that equation. Sometimes, smoke damage can occur without the lasting effect of flames, resulting in damage that is just as difficult to clean up.

“Egg-stremely” Unusual Smoke Damage
In September 2023, our team had the opportunity to work on a unique restoration project in our community. Our client, the homeowner, reached out to us in desperation after a chaotic morning in the kitchen. A pot of eggs had been left unattended on the stovetop, resulting in a smoke-filled home and an overpowering, unpleasant odor. The damage extended beyond the kitchen as the smoke and odor permeated the entire house. It was a challenging and unanticipated problem that needed immediate attention.
When we arrived, we quickly recognized the gravity of the situation: there were smoke stains on the walls, ceilings, and even the furniture. The odor made the entire home virtually uninhabitable, and it was evident that a thorough cleanup and restoration process was needed.


We began by ventilating the home to disperse the lingering smoke. Then, we conducted a deep cleaning of the affected areas. This involved cleaning walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to remove smoke residue and odor. Our experienced technicians relied on specialized deodorizing techniques and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)-certified equipment to eliminate the stubborn smell, leaving the house smelling fresh once more. The homeowner’s kitchen, which had borne the brunt of the damage, received extra attention, including cleaning appliances and surfaces.
Thanks to our incredible efforts, we restored the home successfully. By the end of our work, the house transformed from a foul, smoky environment to a clean and inviting home once again. The homeowner was overjoyed with the results, expressing gratitude for our prompt and professional services. We knew the situation tested their resilience, but we helped them regain peace and comfort. Kudos on your outstanding work, team!
