Candle Fire & Smoke Damage Cleanup

A candle fire is usually small, but the smoke and soot rarely stay in one room. We clean it up and get rid of the smell for good.
Fire & Smoke Damage

Small Fire, Surprisingly Big Cleanup

Candles cause more house fires than most people would guess, and the holidays and the long dark stretch of winter are the peak season. A candle too close to a curtain or left burning on a nightstand can catch in seconds. Even when it’s put out quickly, the room fills with smoke and a fine layer of soot lands on everything.
Quick Response Restoration handles candle fire cleanup across Saratoga County and the Capital Region, from a single scorched bedroom to fires that spread down a hallway. And there’s a wrinkle with candle fires specifically: the wax and fragrance oils burn along with the wick, leaving a greasy film that clings to walls and fabric and holds odor stubbornly. Regular cleaning won’t touch it. Our technicians use methods designed for exactly this kind of residue.

Our Restoration Process

Assess the Spread

We check burn damage and figure out how far the smoke and soot traveled, then document it for your claim.

Clean the Residue

Wax-based smoke film is removed from walls, ceilings, furniture, and belongings without spreading it.

Kill the Odor and Repair

Hydroxyl and thermal fogging remove the smell; burned drywall, flooring, and paint get repaired.

How We Restore a Home After a Candle Fire

We begin by inspecting the whole house, not just the room where it happened. Smoke rides the HVAC system, so it turns up in closets and rooms two floors away.
Then everything affected gets cleaned. Contents are restored or packed out. Odor is removed with hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, and air scrubbers. Whatever actually burned, our reconstruction crew repairs. We’ve helped Capital Region families through this for more than 25 years, and we handle the insurance paperwork so you don’t have to.
