Fire Damage Restoration
Kitchen Fire Cleanup
Grease fires leave a unique mess. We know exactly how to clean it.
Grease fire residue bonds to every surface it touches and can't be removed with household cleaners. We use professional-grade degreasers, dry soot removal, and duct treatment to fully restore your kitchen.
Overview
Kitchen fires are the most common type of residential fire — and grease fires leave behind a particularly stubborn combination of burnt grease residue, thick black soot, and acrid smoke damage that standard cleaning cannot address. AAA Disaster Recovery specializes in kitchen fire cleanup using professional-grade degreasers, dry soot removal, and odor elimination to fully restore your kitchen and surrounding areas.
Our Process
How We Handle It
Safety & Containment
We assess structural and air quality safety, then contain the affected area to prevent soot and grease residue from spreading to adjacent rooms.
Appliance Removal & Assessment
Range, hood vent, and nearby appliances are removed for thorough cleaning. Heavily damaged units are documented for insurance replacement.
Grease & Soot Removal
Thick grease fire residue requires alkaline degreasers combined with dry chemical sponge methods — we use the right approach for each surface type.
Cabinet & Countertop Restoration
Cabinet interiors, exteriors, and countertop surfaces are degreased and cleaned. Heat-warped or burned components are documented for replacement.
HVAC & Range Hood Cleaning
Grease-laden smoke infiltrates range hoods and ductwork. We clean and deodorize the full ventilation path to prevent fire hazard recurrence.
Odor Elimination & Restoration
Thermal fogging and ozone treatment eliminate embedded grease smoke odor, followed by full kitchen rebuild and finish restoration.

Common Questions
FAQs
How is a grease fire different from other kitchen fires?
Grease fires produce a dense, sticky soot that bonds to every surface it contacts. Standard soot cleaning methods often smear rather than lift grease residue. We use specialized alkaline degreasers and dry cleaning combinations for effective removal.
Can my cabinets be saved after a kitchen fire?
Often yes, depending on the heat exposure and type of cabinet material. Surface soot and grease can usually be cleaned. We document heat-warped or structurally compromised cabinets for insurance replacement vs. restoration decisions.
My fire was small — do I still need professional cleanup?
Even small kitchen fires deposit toxic soot on surfaces and infiltrate HVAC systems. Grease residue is a fire hazard if left in range hoods and ductwork. Professional cleanup is recommended even for minor events.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a kitchen fire?
Yes — accidental kitchen fires are covered under standard homeowner policies. We document the full scope of damage including appliances, cabinets, and affected adjacent rooms for your insurance claim.
