Lightspeed Restoration of Twin Cities East Metro Cleans Up the Mess

A stove fire can show its damage in surprising ways, and even when the flames are contained, much of the kitchen can be affected. Smoke, soot, and odors from the fire penetrate cabinets, walls, and even ceiling spaces. Fully understanding the extent of the potential damage a stove fire can cause illustrates the need for fast and reliable restoration services.

How a Stove Fire Affects the Kitchen

The focus of fire damage restoration for Lakeville kitchens has much more to do with indirect damage than apparent harm. Here are a few ways that an unexpected fire might impact the heart of your home on the stove:

  • Cabinets and Drawers: The cabinets are prone to smoke and soot seeping in, thus leaving a sticky residue that could discolor surfaces and give off strong, unpleasant odors. Cabinets directly above or near the stovetop are the most vulnerable.

  • Walls and Ceilings: The nature of heat is to rise, which is why these are often marked by smoke and soot stains. Heavy scrubbing will do little to remove the residual soot that may compromise paint or wallpaper, requiring advanced cleaning.

  • Appliances and Fixtures: Particles of soot and smoke can settle in the crevices of your refrigerator, microwave, and stove hood. If left unrestored, buildup can damage an appliance's finish or impact how it functions.

  • Counters/Floors: A smoky smell infiltrates many countertops and floors. Most have a coating of soot from the fire, making them appear gritty and ruined. Since soot is corrosive, this can cause permanent damage; swift action is needed.
