## Smoke & Soot Cleanup in Las Vegas

Las Vegas' housing stock leans older, with 68 percent of homes built before 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2023 5-year). Many of these houses run central air that was original or added later, and once a fire starts near a supply or return vent, that ductwork carries smoke and fine soot well past the room where it began. A grease fire in a 1990s kitchen can leave soot on ceiling fans and closet shelving in bedrooms nobody thinks to check first.

Because our office is inside the city on Valley View Blvd, a Las Vegas call usually gets an inspector on site quickly to map how far the smoke actually traveled, not just where the fire was, before any cleaning starts. We shut down and check the HVAC system first, since running it after a fire only pushes more soot into rooms that still look untouched. From there we clean hard surfaces, cabinetry and fixtures with methods matched to the type of residue. Every technician who responds carries moisture meters and thermal imaging equipment as standard practice, since firefighting water often needs its own drying plan alongside the smoke cleanup.

Once the HVAC has been handled, cleaning moves to surfaces, cabinetry and fixtures, matching the method to the type of residue, treating odor at its source, and cleaning or packing out belongings as needed. Either way, furniture, clothing and other belongings in the smoke's path can often be cleaned on site or packed out for specialized treatment rather than replaced outright. We treat odor at its source rather than masking it, document every room the smoke reached, and bill your insurer directly. Thermal fogging, ozone treatment or hydroxyl generators may be used depending on how severe the odor is, and we explain which approach fits your home before starting.

Process

## How we handle it in Las Vegas

- ### Inspection and odor source mapping We assess which surfaces, rooms and HVAC components were reached by smoke, since soot and odor often travel further than the visible fire damage.
- ### HVAC evaluation We check the air handler, ductwork and filters, since a system that ran during or after the fire is a common way smoke residue spreads to untouched rooms.
- ### Soot and residue removal Walls, ceilings, hard surfaces and fixtures are cleaned with methods matched to the type of residue, since different fires leave different kinds of soot.
- ### Odor treatment We treat the source of the odor rather than covering it, which can include thermal fogging, ozone or hydroxyl treatment depending on the severity.
- ### Contents cleaning coordination Furniture, clothing and belongings affected by smoke can be cleaned on site or packed out for specialized cleaning, depending on the item and the level of exposure.
- ### Board-up and security If the fire caused structural openings, we can board up and secure the property the same day to protect it while the rest of the work is scheduled.
- ### Rebuild Once cleaning and odor treatment are complete, we can repair drywall, paint and flooring to bring the affected rooms back to their condition before the fire.

Questions

Technicians from our IICRC-certified firm start every job with a free inspection and bill your insurer directly.

### My kitchen fire was small, why does smoke smell reach the bedrooms?

Most Las Vegas homes run central air, and that ductwork moves smoke through the whole house within minutes of a fire starting, regardless of the fire's size. That is why we inspect and often clean the HVAC system rather than only the room where the fire was.

### Can you clean smoke-damaged furniture instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Much of the time furniture, clothing and other belongings can be cleaned on site or packed out for specialized cleaning rather than thrown away, depending on the material and how much smoke reached it. We assess items individually and coordinate the process.
