How do I check a contractor in Illinois?
Licensing rules differ by state and city. Ask the company whether a license is required for this work where you live, request the license number and proof of liability insurance, and confirm both with your Illinois or local licensing office. Ask whether technicians hold IICRC fire and smoke training.
Can smoke odor be removed from a home in Millington?
In most cases yes, but the residue has to be cleaned first. Deodorizing without cleaning usually fails because the source is still on surfaces and inside materials. A company may use methods such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl treatment or air scrubbing.
