Fire smell be gone!
So you had a small kitchen fire, that you were able to put out without much structural damage. While your house smells like the Inferno, you console yourself with the fact that things were not worse. Cleaning should be easy you think. You’ll replace the kitchen cabinet above the stove, air the house out, refresh the paint, and life we’ll be back to normal. As your deductible is high, and the last thing you need is a rate increase on your homeowner policy, you decide to not even call your insurance company.
After a week of toil and trouble, things look up. For the next months, anyone waking through the door, acts like your Schnauzer when the meatloaf is in the oven – sniffing the air, questions marks in their eyes. At work, people inquire if you’ve been taking up smoking, or you’re just grillin’ every day.
At Christmas, when your in-laws visit, they ask if they have to eat whatever you’ve been cooking (or burning..). At this point, you possibly had enough.
So together with your Schnauzer, you put your olfactory detective skills to use, to uncover just where those pesky smells are hiding.
Carpets, rugs, sofas, curtains, clothes, they are all culprits. Even after washing, airing, deodorizing. You may need to get new ones! And repaint. Geez, who knows how much this will cost.
What to do?? And how about the insurance company, how can you document the damage now?
Eureka!! You can call Michigan Fire Claims! They’ll have answers for you! And appraisers, and adjusters. And they’ve help hundreds before (here’s proof!). Plus, they are really nice.
Yeah, I know you wish you’d thought of them before!
