The first 24–48 hours after a fire are the most critical — acidic soot begins permanently etching surfaces within hours, and water from firefighting must be dried before mold develops. This LA guide covers the full fire damage restoration process: emergency board-up, soot cleanup, water extraction, odor neutralization, structural rebuild, and how to document the loss for your insurance claim from start to finish. 24/7 response: (818) 336-1800.

Cleaning soot off walls is a two-stage process — first remove loose particles with a dry-cleaning sponge or HEPA vacuum, then wash the greasy residual stain. Using a wet rag first drives soot into paint and drywall, turning a manageable cleanup into a permanent stain. This LA guide covers the correct step-by-step method for each wall surface and when soot coverage requires professional fire damage restoration. Call (818) 336-1800.
