Smoke & Fire

Scott’s Cleaning Service has professional technician specialists that will follow inspection procedures for the site in your home or business to determine the depth of damage in which fire & smoke was impacted. Our professional technician specialists know that even the “unaffected” areas are still a danger to your home or building. Damage can seep deep within the structure cavities causing hidden damage and odor. It is very crucial that full knowledge of any damages that may or may not have occurred within the area are needed in determining how far any damage has actually spread.
