Signs of chimney fire damage in the home

A chimney fire can push heat, soot, and smoke into the living space around the fireplace. These signs point to damage that needs cleanup.

  • Soot staining around the firebox

    Dark residue fans out onto the surround, mantel, and nearby walls after the fire pushed smoke into the room.

  • A strong burnt or creosote odor

    A sharp, tarry smell lingers near the fireplace and drifts into connected rooms long after the fire is out.

  • Scorching or heat marks near the hearth

    Discoloration, blistered paint, or heat damage appears on surfaces close to the firebox and flue-adjacent walls.

  • Soot on nearby contents and floors

    Fine residue settles on furniture, the hearth, flooring, and decor around the fireplace.

  • Smoke haze on walls and ceiling

    A dull film or discoloration spreads across the wall and ceiling above and around the fireplace.

  • Debris or fallen residue in the firebox

    Chunks of scorched creosote or debris drop into the firebox during or after the event.

Seeing any of these in Fort Myers? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What chimney fire cleanup includes

We focus on the smoke and soot damage the fire left in the living space, cleaning the residue and clearing the odor around the fireplace.

  • Assessment and containment

    We evaluate how far soot and smoke traveled from the firebox and protect the surrounding room before cleaning.

  • Soot and residue removal

    The firebox surround, hearth, mantel, and affected walls are cleaned of soot and scorched residue.

  • Contents and surface cleaning

    Nearby furnishings, floors, and hard contents coated by the smoke are cleaned so residue is not left behind.

  • Deodorization

    We treat the air and affected materials to neutralize the burnt, tarry odor at its source.

How Our Process Works

Every job in Fort Myers, FL follows the same reliable four-step restoration process.

  1. Emergency Assessment

    A qualified technician evaluates the fire loss on arrival and walks you through what happens next.

  2. Soot & Smoke Removal

    We work room by room, hauling out the debris and wiping down the acidic soot so it can't keep corroding your property.

  3. Deodorize & Treat

    Our team uses systems to reach smoke odor trapped in walls, ducts, and contents until the space is fresh.

  4. Restore to Pre-Loss

    The final step rebuilds everything the fire touched and returns your contents and property to normal.

Why chimney fire residue should not wait

The soot and smoke a chimney fire leaves behind keep affecting the home, and the fireplace should not be used again until it is checked.

  • Acidic soot staining

    Creosote and soot are acidic and can etch and permanently stain the surround, hearth, and nearby walls.

  • Lingering burnt odor

    The tarry smoke smell settles into porous materials and soft goods, returning even after surfaces are wiped.

  • Spreading residue

    Soot tracked or circulated from the fireplace area can reach rooms well beyond the hearth.

  • Do not relight until inspected

    A chimney fire can damage the flue, so the fireplace should be inspected by a qualified professional before it is used again.

Fire Damage in Fort Myers: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Fort Myers

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Smoke Damage Cleanup

    Greasy smoke film settles onto walls and ceilings fast, staining the longer it sits untreated. Pre-1960s interiors in Edison Park, Dean Park, and the Downtown core hold residue in older plaster and painted wood trim. Our crew clears the film before it sets in.

    See Smoke Damage Cleanup details

  • Soot Removal

    Left untreated, acidic soot starts pitting metal and etching glass within a matter of hours. The historic core's original fixtures and window glass show that damage first. Our process starts with dry sponging, then shifts to wet soot cleaning wherever dry methods fall short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire is out, the structure is still left holding char, ash, and the water crews used to put it out. Our crews clear and stabilize sites from Downtown and Dunbar out to Iona and Harlem Heights so repairs can start without delay.

    How our Fire Damage Cleanup works

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Covering up smoke odor never lasts, the smell finds its way back. Our crew breaks it down at the source using thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. Southwest Florida's year-round humidity keeps odor alive in porous framing, so surface cleaning alone never finishes the job.

    How our Smoke Odor Removal works

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Rebuilding to pre-loss condition here means full reframing, re-drywalling, and refinishing work, not a quick patch-and-paint fix. Matching a pre-1960s Edison Park or Dean Park finish takes real trim work, and a Gateway build needs an entirely different match. A single licensed crew sees the rebuild through to the end.

    See Structural Repair & Rebuild details

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while your Lee County home is repaired. Nothing goes out the door without being logged first, and everything comes back once the repair and odor work are fully wrapped up.

    More about Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

  • Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

    We close up openings and tarp a damaged roof the same visit, not on a multi-day schedule. A roof left exposed through a Southwest Florida rain band can turn a fire loss into a water and mold loss by morning, so this step never waits.

    How our Emergency Board-Up & Tarping works

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Firefighting water left sitting in this climate grows mold fast. Our crew extracts water and runs structural drying first, then moves into soot and smoke cleanup, one team handling both stages instead of two separate schedules to manage.

    See Fire & Water Damage Restoration details

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size is matched to the scope of the loss, which keeps downtime as short as it can be. First Street and Downtown Fort Myers storefronts, plus the US-41 and Colonial Boulevard corridor near Edison Mall, get priority scheduling and after-hours work.

    More about Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    A malfunctioning furnace can send a puff-back of oily black soot over walls, ceilings, and ductwork in seconds. Oil-fired furnaces are uncommon in Southwest Florida homes, but when a puff-back happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning methods.

    See Puff-Back Cleaning details

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Wildfire smoke remediation is a service we offer as a genuine capability for Lee County properties. Exterior ash removal, HEPA filtration, and deodorization treat any smoke residue a structure picks up, handled the same way regardless of where the smoke originated.

    How our Wildfire Smoke Remediation works

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Near-universal central air in Fort Myers homes means smoke and soot recirculate through the duct system regardless of what caused the fire. Left alone, that residue compounds into a moisture and mold problem fast in this humidity. We clean ducts and vents, then run HEPA filtration.

    How our Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning works
