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 Minneapolis? 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

From emergency board-up to the final rebuild, here's exactly how your chimney fire cleanup unfolds.

  1. Emergency Assessment

    We answer 24/7 and arrive quickly to board up the property and scope the fire loss.

  2. Soot & Smoke Removal

    We remove the residue immediately, then deodorize with thermal fogging and air scrubbing.

  3. Deodorize & Treat

    Surface cleaning alone won't cut it, so we deodorize the air and materials until the smoke smell is gone for good.

  4. Restore to Pre-Loss

    From framing to the final coat of paint, our crew puts your property back together and walks the finished job with you.

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 Minneapolis: 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 Minneapolis

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, and it stains the longer it sits untreated. Pre-1940 interiors across Kenwood, Longfellow, Seward, Camden, and Northeast hold that residue deep in plaster and original wood trim. Our crew clears it before it sets permanently.

    More about Smoke Damage Cleanup

  • Soot Removal

    Soot is acidic, and within hours it etches glass, stains paint, and pits metal fixtures. Minneapolis's pre-1940 housing stock still carries original glass, hardware, and painted trim that show the damage fastest. We start with dry sponging, then move to wet soot cleaning where needed.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire is out, the structure still holds char, ash, and leftover suppression water that has to come out first. In a hard freeze, that water and slush can refreeze before other work starts. Our crew clears debris and stabilizes the site fast.

    How our Fire Damage Cleanup works

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Spraying air freshener over a smoke smell buys a day or two before it comes right back. We go after the source instead, using thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. A house sealed tight for a Minnesota winter holds that odor far longer than most homes.

    See Smoke Odor Removal details

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    We reframe, re-drywall, and refinish back to pre-loss condition, not just patch and paint over damage. Matching the original trim profile and plaster texture in a 1920s bungalow or a Northeast four-square takes real skill. The same licensed crew stays on site from the first repair to the final walkthrough.

    How our Structural Repair & Rebuild works

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    Everything gets inventoried, packed out, and cleaned off-site in secure storage while repairs happen at your home. Every item is itemized before it leaves the property, and nothing returns until odor treatment is fully verified done. Keepsakes and furniture get handled carefully throughout.

    See Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out details

  • Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

    Our crew boards up and tarps the roof the same day, never on a delay. An open wall or roof in subzero Minnesota weather can turn into frozen pipes and secondary water damage by morning. Securing the property fast keeps a bad situation from getting worse overnight, whatever the neighborhood.

    More about Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Standing water from firefighting efforts turns into a mold problem fast if it is not pulled out right away. Cold-weather suppression water reaches basements and sill plates fast in Minneapolis's older foundations. Our crew extracts water and runs structural drying first, then moves into soot and smoke cleanup.

    How our Fire & Water Damage Restoration works

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size adjusts to the size of the loss, keeping downtime as short as the job allows. North Loop warehouse conversions and storefronts along Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue get priority scheduling, insurer coordination, and after-hours work so a business can reopen sooner than waiting on one small crew.

    How our Commercial Fire Damage Restoration works

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    A furnace puff-back can throw oily black soot across walls, ceilings, and ductwork before anyone notices smoke. Oil-fired furnaces have historically been more common in older Upper Midwest housing. We treat that residue with degreasing agents made for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning.

    How our Puff-Back Cleaning works

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Regional wildfire smoke can reach the Twin Cities during summer air-quality events, distinct from a house fire. Homes can pick up a smoky smell and ash outside with no flame ever touching the structure. We remove the exterior residue and treat the air inside.

    See Wildfire Smoke Remediation details

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Once smoke gets pulled into forced-air ductwork, it keeps recirculating soot and odor long after the rooms themselves look clean. Minneapolis homes run mostly forced-air heating and cooling, so duct and vent cleaning paired with HEPA filtration is often the step other crews skip. We never skip it.

    How our Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning works
