No matter if you live in the Golden State, the Buckeye State, or the Mountain West, fire damage is one of the most debilitating experiences a homeowner can face. Besides the initial burn damage to your walls, home foundation, and personal items, the smoky odor can linger and seep into everything it touches. Restorerz is a professional offering fire damage restoration services. We arrive quickly, taking all necessary safety precautions, and work to restore and mitigate any home damage, giving our customers peace of mind.
Common Causes of Fire Damage
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, the three main causes of fire damage in the United States are cooking, appliances and electrical, and exposure.
Cooking
Cooking has been the leading cause of home fires in the United States for several years, with Thanksgiving Day ranking as the top day in 2025. Cooking fires can be caused by frying, grilling, grease fires, and leaving cooking food unattended. A kitchen or outdoor grill fire can quickly spread, causing extensive fire damage.
Appliances and electrical
Electrical fires, caused by overloaded circuits, frayed wiring, and outdated electrical systems, can quickly start within a wall and spread to other areas of the home. Appliances like dryers with excess lint, space heaters too close to flammable materials, ovens, and TV cords are also causes of home fires.
Exposure
Exposure fires in Las Vegas, Ohio, and California are all rarer than cooking and electrical fires, but they do happen. During wildfire season in California, strong winds can carry sparks and ignite dry grass outside homes. Smoke and soot can also get trapped within a home’s walls and foundation.
Rural homes in Ohio and Nevada are also susceptible to agricultural fires that burn acres of land and can spread quickly under dry conditions.
Understanding Smoke and Soot Damage
Smoke and soot damage is a part of fire damage mitigation that requires immediate attention, as acidic smoke particles can quickly cause discoloration in walls, severe staining in housing materials, and strong smoky odors that spread from the initial affected area and move throughout the house.
Smoke and soot also negatively affect a home’s air quality and can cause health concerns, especially for household members with already compromised respiratory systems.
Restorerz will professionally clean all smoke and soot damage to ensure there is no lingering smoky odor and that your home’s air quality returns to pre-loss conditions.
Why Professional Fire Damage Cleanup Matters
Restorerz is a professional fire remediation contractor that has seen thousands of fire-damaged homes and buildings in Las Vegas, California, and Ohio. We know exactly which steps to take and how to search for and identify hidden areas of smoke and soot damage.
While it can be tempting to handle the cleaning yourself, improper DIY fire damage cleanup can spread dangerous, toxic airborne smoke particles throughout a home. We use industrial-grade cleaners and techniques to safely remove soot and smoke from walls and furnishings.
Fire damage also compromises building supports. Restorerz will check the condition of every support to ensure that a wall or roof doesn’t collapse or cave in after the initial fire damage.
