    The longer ash and water is left untreated after the flames are put out, the more your property continues to be damaged.

    Many items of your property, such as appliances, furniture, and walls start to develop a yellow discoloration.

    Many areas of your business or home, such as your bathrooms, are stained by acid and chemical combinations created by smoke and fire.
    Days after fire and smoke damage
