Smoke, Fire & Soot Restoration

Fast response secures the property, limits secondary damage, and begins recovery.

After a fire, properties may be structurally compromised and exposed to weather, smoke residue, and water used during firefighting. Penobscot Cleaning Services responds quickly to fire and smoke damage in Brewer, Bangor, and coastal communities to stabilize the site and prevent further loss. We coordinate with fire officials when needed, board up openings, secure the structure, and begin controlled cleaning and drying as soon as conditions allow. Early intervention reduces corrosion, staining, and permanent odor absorption.

When to Call for Water Damage Restoration

Call immediately after any fire, puff-back, or heavy smoke event—even if flames were small. You should also call if you notice soot residue, smoke odors, discoloration on walls or ceilings, or contamination of HVAC systems. Delayed cleanup allows acidic soot to etch surfaces and smoke odors to penetrate materials.
