The smoke damage caused by a kitchen fire can be challenging to deal with and the odor can be very hard to remove. In the event of an oven or stove fire in your Cameron Park kitchen, you may have a mess that requires the help of professionals. A professional restoration company like SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville will know how to deal with the residue and odor left behind. The acidity of smoke and soot can make it difficult to remove in certain materials, so it is essential to clean the smoke damage entirely out of your kitchen as soon as possible. 

Are there steps to take to alleviate smoke damage in the kitchen?

• Alleviate smoke damage by opening all the windows, ventilation is essential
• Turn off the HVAC system to prevent the spread of smoke and soot throughout the home
