Kitchen fire cleanup
The most common home fire, and the smoke usually goes farther than it looks.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. A grease fire may burn only the stove area, but it can coat the whole kitchen and nearby rooms in greasy soot that is hard to clean.

Questions
Is a small kitchen fire worth calling about?
If smoke reached other rooms, the walls or ceiling are discolored, or the cabinets smell of smoke, a restoration company can assess it. Many small kitchen fires are cleaned in days.
Should I report a small kitchen fire to my insurer?
That's your decision, and it depends on your deductible and policy. A restoration company's written scope helps you decide whether a claim makes sense.
