Understanding Kitchen Fire
Kitchen fires are the leading cause of home fires nationwide, and they're particularly common during holiday cooking seasons. Even a small kitchen fire can cause extensive damage beyond the immediate burn area—smoke and soot travel throughout the home, contaminating surfaces, damaging electronics, and leaving persistent odors that require professional remediation.
The damage from a kitchen fire extends well beyond scorched cabinets and walls. Grease fires produce thick, oily smoke that coats every surface. The heat can warp countertops, damage appliances, and compromise structural elements. Firefighting efforts often add water damage to the equation. And the smell—that acrid mix of burned food, melted plastic, and smoke—permeates soft furnishings, clothing, and HVAC systems.
Kitchen fire restoration requires addressing multiple damage types simultaneously: fire damage to structures and contents, smoke and soot contamination throughout the home, water damage from firefighting, and the ever-present risk of mold from that water. Our comprehensive approach addresses all of these interconnected issues.
Our fire damage specialists have extensive experience with kitchen fire restoration, from small stovetop incidents to major grease fires that spread beyond the kitchen.
Why You Need to Act Fast
Smoke and soot are acidic and continue damaging surfaces after the fire is out. Within hours, soot begins etching into painted surfaces, metals, and fabrics. Within days, corrosion and permanent staining occur. Quick professional cleaning prevents secondary damage and reduces restoration costs.
