Wall Surface Smoke Damage Repair Techniques
Smoke loves porous, patterned, and raised surfaces. Wallpaper and textured walls trap soot in ways smooth drywall never does. Using specialized smoke damage repair techniques, SERVPRO® crews address delicate wall coverings. While vinyl wallpapers can often be cleaned successfully with proper methods, paper-based coverings may require complete replacement.
Various cleaning techniques include
- Gentle dry brushing for textured surfaces
- Controlled moisture application on vinyl
- Enzyme cleaners for organic residues
- Peroxide solutions for stain removal
Fixing Water Damage on Walls
Before initiating any water damage repair, it is important to determine the extent of the damage. That is, if the damage is on the surface or has penetrated the entire wall. If the damage is on the surface, our crews dig it out with a putty knife. They scrape away any peeling or bubbling paint and general surface damage until they reach an undamaged area. Clean off any rough edges or debris from digging, patch up, and apply paint.

What our Dowell
customers are saying
My wife and I want you to know of our appreciation for the tremendous service offered by members of your Company.
Earlier this year we had a misfortune of having the interior of our house and its contents covered with soot from a malfunctioning fuel oil furnace. SERVPRO cleaned the walls, ceilings, floors, doors and some of the contents May 7-9. SERVPRO members involved in the cleanup were:
Todd, Frank, Jon, Tommy and Eddie
All five of them were very professional. They reviewed with us in detail the work to be done and were proactive in suggesting that painting certain parts of the house are necessary when they were doing the remediation. All five of the employees seemed to know what to do and when to do it. They were thorough in their cleaning, while, at the same time being courteous and pleasant. My wife and I were amazed at how meticulous and helpful they were in the cleaning process.
This is our first major experience with SERVPRO. (We had used SERVPRO years ago {Eddie} to clean our HVAC ducts, which was also a favorable experience.) We are happily relating to our friends how SERVPRO came to our rescue in dealing with the soot issue.
Sincerely yours,
Michael J.
I have to say that dealing with SERVPRO was absolutely seamless. From the initial call, to the site visit, and through the three days of cleaning, I couldn't have asked for a better crew. Robby was outstanding, and made sure all of our needs were met with ease. Thanks again for the great work everyone!
SERVPRO blasted my crawlspace when I bought the house, and it made an immediate difference with smell in the house. If you have a moldy crawlspace this is a must, really a no brainer! The wood still looks new almost 10 years later.
I could go on and on how wonderful SERVPRO is and has been for my family and I. You all made a hectic, crazy time due to an accident in our home SOOOO much better and easier to deal with. From Frank who took care of us so very well after the accident to Eddie who finished up in our home! Tracy in the office was also so very helpful, professional and kind. Thank you so much to all who came to our rescue, worked crazy hours, answered a ton of questions, offered advice and gave professional care and kindness to every detail. We appreciate you and thank you so much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
As we prepared to list our house in August 2015, we were in a time crunch to have our carpets cleaned. Chad responded quickly and personally came out to give us a quote, and they fit us into their schedule quickly. Our previous 2 carpet cleanings in 8 years were no where near the response time, and quality cleaning of SERVPRO. Thanks SERVPRO - I highly recommend you, and we will use you again!
After a few years of normal wear and tear, SERVPRO came in and did a phenomenal job steam cleaning our carpets. They were rejuvenated to look like new! The crew was efficient and friendly, and the cleaning cost very affordable. Highly recommend.
