A.You've mentioned most of the things that smoke leaves it smell on permanently. It could take some years to free up your house from the effects of smoke. Its the same with flood water, the house is never back to square one, if ever.
Next door to me Asians cook a lot of curries and barbeque meals, and the smells come into my house. I have to make sure all the windows are closed to lessen the onslaught.
If there are a lot of cigarette smokers in a house, the walls turn yellow which is a dead give away with the nicotine effect.
Smoke can get into drawers and cub-boards, take some things out and smell them you'll see.

1.00How can i get compensation for smoke damage ?
Q.I have a lot of smoke damage in my apartment form a burned house next to me how can I get compensation to the smoke damage I have in my apartment and who should I call to get compensation . I live in Philadelphia .pa
A.You call your renter's insurance company, and file a claim.
If you don't have any renter's insurance, you don't get any compensation.
But if you don't run out and BUY some renters insurance now, you'll deserve the headache if it happens a second time and you're uninsured.
Just because something bad happens, it does NOT mean you're entitled to reimbursement/money/compensation from someone. That's what insurance is for - IF You buy it.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke removal is a major part of the fire damage restoration process. Because of the strange behavior of smoke, it's easier to get rid of traces of soot and ash in the structure and in your possessions, than it is to remove all traces of smoke from your property. The smoke not properly dealt with by a fire damage company can linger in the air for months after the disaster, spreading in the air and contaminating it with toxins. If left unchecked, these toxins from the smoke can cause allergies, and throat irritations in occupants of the property.
A professional smoke damage repair company will be equipped with knowledge of the methods used to identified and isolate the various types of smoke and the best methods for their removal. A hot smoke produced by a raging fire for instance, will migrate to the upper parts of the house, making it harder to eliminate because it will find a way to the rest of the house through pipes. Other types of fire include the slow ones that produce wet smoke with a deep pungent odor, and fast burning fires that produce wet smoke. A smoke removal company makes use of special techniques to identify these types and eliminate all traces from the structure.
Once all types of smoke are identified, your smoke reamer company will begin the process of smoke removal. A process called thermal fogging is used to eliminate smoke orders. If the walls have insulation, this might have to be removed in order to eradicate the odor. The insulation cannot be retained because it will still have the odor and will have to be replaced instead. Only a professional smoke removal company can help you with such specialized processes. We can help you hook up with such experienced smoke repair company in San Jose.

Tenant had grease fire on stove. Smoke and soot went throughout the 1000 sq ft house. Need estimate to clean.
Mark R
I would like to schedule an assessment and cleaning estimate for a unit in a fourplex that I own. The tenants that vacated the unit were heavy smokers. The property manager had the unit professionally cleaned, new carpet installed, and new paint on the walls, ceilings, and trim. However, the cigarette smell is still noticeable. The painter did not wash the walls or ceilings before painting and did not apply any primer. We used a chlorine dioxide fogger which reduced the smell. Thanks.
