Soot residue
Marks are visible on walls or ceilings.
Fire and smoke damage cleanup
Fire and smoke damage cleanup begins with deciding which surfaces can be cleaned and which materials need removal. Atlas assesses affected spaces in Montreal, Laval and our service areas to define the work.
When to call
Smoke odours
An odour remains in the affected spaces.
Affected finishes
Some finishes need assessment before cleaning.
Depending on the condition of the space, see our information on interior stripping and selective demolition.
What the service may include
- Assessment of surfaces affected by residue.
- Protection of spaces around the work area.
- Soot and smoke-residue cleaning suited to each surface.
- Odour-control work as appropriate, with selective removal when needed.
Access to the building must be authorized before work starts. Cleaning is planned around the surfaces and observed damage. A persistent odour may require reassessing its source rather than repeating the same cleaning.

Can I arrange an assessment first?
Call to discuss the property, access conditions and the assessment needed.
Is every surface cleaned the same way?
No. The material and type of residue affect the approach. The work is defined from the assessment.
Can an odour remain after an initial cleaning?
It can. The source and affected materials then need reassessment. Results vary with the conditions.
