Are you struggling with the aftermath of a fire?
Call STOP Restoration of Chicago-West for smoke damage cleaning services.
Regardless of the nature of your property – office or home – the disruption and trauma caused by a fire cannot be underestimated. Seeing your prized possessions gone in seconds is one of the most severe losses a property owner can experience. Smoke damage can be divided into two broad categories; driven and free-floating. Driven smoke is most likely to affect vertical surfaces as it is propelled and pressurized by the energy generated from the fire. However, once the driven smoke settles and cools down, it becomes floating smoke. This is heavier than air, so the floating smoke ends up settling down on the horizontal surfaces and destroying them. At STOP Restoration of Chicago-West, our highly skilled and experienced team of professionals can deal with all types of smoke damage with ease and efficiency. Read on to learn more about the smoke damage cleanup services offered at STOP Restoration of Chicago-West.

- Yellowing of countertops.
- The persistent and smoky smell within your property- furniture, clothing and upholstery.
- Visible soot on the surfaces and walls.
- Discoloring of the shiny surfaces such as marble countertops, dinnerware, wood cabinets and fine china.
