Smoke Damage Restoration in Los Angeles

Smoke travels further than flames. Residue settles on walls, ceilings, ductwork and belongings, and the smell works its way into drywall and fabric. NTOE cleans the residue, removes the odor at its source, and repairs what can't be cleaned.

What smoke damage restoration includes

Smoke damage is usually bigger than it looks. We trace where the residue went and clean all of it, not just the rooms where you can smell it.

Damage assessment

We check every affected room, the attic and the heating and cooling system to find how far smoke and soot have spread.

Soot and residue cleaning

Different fires leave different residue. We match the cleaning method to the residue and the surface so stains are not smeared deeper.

Heating and cooling system

Smoke gets pulled through vents and ductwork. We check the system so it does not keep blowing residue and odor back into clean rooms.

Odor removal

We clean the surfaces that hold the residue and treat the structure, so the smell is removed rather than covered up.

Belongings and contents

Furniture, fabrics and household items that can be cleaned are cleaned. We tell you plainly which ones cannot, before any work starts.

Repairs and repainting

Drywall, insulation, paint and finishes too damaged to clean are removed and rebuilt by our own construction crew.

FAQ

Smoke damage questions

Without proper cleaning it can linger for months and often comes back on warm or humid days. Removing the residue that holds the odor is what makes it go away.

A small, light patch of soot can sometimes be handled with care. Wider damage needs the right methods — the wrong product or wiping technique can push soot deeper into surfaces.

It often is under homeowners policies, but coverage depends on your policy. We document the damage and prepare a scope your adjuster can review.

Soot can irritate eyes, skin and lungs, especially for children, older adults and anyone with breathing problems. Limit time in affected rooms until they have been cleaned.

Not on its own. Residue left under new paint can bleed through and keep the smell. Surfaces need to be cleaned and sealed before they are repainted.

Yes. NTOE is a restoration and construction company, so the same team that cleans up also repairs and repaints — drywall, insulation, flooring and finishes.
