Smoke-Damaged Drywall Restoration in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Possible causes of smoke damage to drywall
Smoke damage to drywall often occurs after a fire incident or small household fires, such as cooking accidents or malfunctioning electrical appliances. When smoke from these events comes into contact with walls, it leaves behind soot and odor, penetrating deep into the drywall surface.
In some cases, smoke damage can happen due to wildfires or outdoor burns that drift indoors, causing discoloration and residue on your walls. Even minor smoke exposure, if untreated, can result in stubborn stains and lingering odors that compromise your home’s air quality and aesthetic appeal.
How can we fix that
Our team of experts begins each smoke-damaged drywall restoration by thoroughly inspecting the affected areas to assess the extent of damage. We then carefully remove and dispose of the soot and burnt materials, ensuring no residual odors remain. Using specialized cleaning agents, we clean the drywall surface to eliminate stains and prevent future smoke-related issues.
Once cleaned, we apply professional-grade primers and sealants designed specifically for smoke damage. These products help lock in odors and create a clean base for new paint or wall coverings. In severe cases, we may recommend drywall replacement to fully restore the integrity and appearance of your walls.
Throughout the process, our team prioritizes minimizing disruption to your home. We work efficiently to restore your walls promptly, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for you and your family. If necessary, we also provide guidance on deodorization to eliminate any lingering smoke smells completely.
