How it works
Four steps from smoky to clean air
Here is exactly what happens after you enter your email — no surprises, no pressure, and no one committing you to anything without your say-so.
From smoky to clean air
Assess
Clean soot
Deodorize
Seal
Clear air
01Step one
Tell us what happened
Share one email address and, when you're ready, a few basics — the source of the smoke, how much of the property smells, and what surfaces are affected. That's the whole ask on this page. Nothing sensitive.
02Step two
We connect you fast
We help connect you with an independent, certified smoke-restoration company that serves your area. ClearVeil doesn't clean soot or remove odor itself — we make the introduction.
03Step three
Get an assessment and scope
The company identifies the soot type and odor sources, documents it for your claim, and gives you a scope. Pricing, timelines and methods vary by company, damage and market.
04Step four
You choose and they restore
Pick the company that fits and hire them directly, on terms you agree to in writing. Any contract, claim coordination and payment is arranged between you and the independent company.
ClearVeil is an independent information and referral service. We do not clean soot or remove odor ourselves — we help connect you with independent, certified companies. Any company you choose is independently responsible for the work it provides. Methods, pricing and outcomes vary, and nothing is guaranteed.
What we help with
Every part of smoke & odor recovery, one starting point
Whatever the source, we aim to connect you with certified companies that handle it. Descriptions below are general information — scope and pricing come from the company you choose.
Soot & smoke film removal
Walls & ceilings
Removal of smoke film and soot from walls, ceilings and surfaces using the right method for dry, wet, protein or fuel-oil soot.
Method varies by soot type.
Odor removal
At the source
Thermal fogging, hydroxyl and ozone treatment, and sealing that neutralize smoke odor instead of masking it with fragrance.
Approach varies by damage.
Air scrubbing & HVAC
Clean the air
HEPA air scrubbing and cleaning of ductwork so your HVAC stops recirculating soot and odor through the building.
Scope varies by system.
Content cleaning
Belongings
Careful cleaning and deodorizing of salvageable furniture, textiles, electronics and documents — and honest guidance on what's beyond saving.
Restorable items vary.
Surface & wall treatment
Prime & seal
Cleaning, sealing and priming of surfaces so odor and staining don't bleed back through fresh paint later.
Scope varies by surface.
Protein & grease smoke
Kitchen fires
Specialized cleaning for the invisible, pungent film left by protein (cooking) fires that ordinary cleaning can't touch.
Requires specialized methods.
Contents pack-out
Off-site restore
Inventory, pack-out and off-site cleaning of belongings while the property is deodorized and restored.
Availability varies by company.
Post-cleaning verification
Confirm it's gone
A final walk-through to confirm surfaces are clean and odor is resolved before the job is called done.
Process varies by company.
Insurance documentation
Photos & scope
Photos, inventories and scope documentation that support your smoke-and-soot insurance claim.
Coverage decisions are your insurer's.
The services above are general information only. ClearVeil does not clean, deodorize or restore anything itself — we connect you with independent, certified restoration companies. Methods, pricing and outcomes vary by company, damage and market, and no specific result is guaranteed. Ask any company for a written scope before you commit.
Don’t just mask it
Signs you need a pro, not another candle
Smoke odor and soot don’t clean up with air freshener and elbow grease. These are the moments to bring in a certified crew.
The smell won't go away
You've cleaned and aired it out, but the smoke odor keeps coming back — because it's embedded in surfaces, contents and the HVAC.
Soot has spread beyond the source
A small fire or puff-back can send soot through the whole building, coating surfaces and contents far from where it started.
Your HVAC ran during the fire
If the system was on, it likely pulled smoke and soot into the ducts and is now recirculating it room to room.
You need to file an insurance claim
Smoke and odor damage is real and claimable — documented scope from a certified pro makes the claim go far more smoothly.
Whoever you consider, do a little homework first: confirm certification and insurance, and ask how they treat odor at the source. You can also look up a company at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
Why ClearVeil
We connect you. We don’t do the restoration ourselves.
That is the whole model, and we say it plainly. ClearVeil is an independent information and referral service — the certified company you choose does the actual soot cleaning, deodorizing and sealing, on terms you agree to directly with them.
We connect — we don't do the restoration
ClearVeil is an independent information and referral service. Soot cleaning, deodorizing and sealing are handled by the certified company you choose, never by us.
Certified, independent companies
We help connect you with independent restoration companies that hold industry certification. Each is separately responsible for the work it provides to you.
Insurance-claim friendly
Certified companies document smoke and odor damage the way insurers expect, which can make your claim smoother. We don't file or decide claims — your insurer does.
Honest about odor — no guarantees
Odor removal depends on the smoke type, materials and severity, and outcomes vary. We don't promise a price, a timeline or that every smell disappears — you compare and decide.
Composite stories
What clean air again can feel like
Honest, non-hype accounts of what the referral experience can be like.
A neighbor's fire left our unit reeking of smoke through the shared wall. I'd tried everything. The company ClearVeil connected me with found the odor sources, sealed them, and it finally smells normal again.
DDenise R. Aurora, Colorado
What I appreciated was that they didn't just spray fragrance over it. They explained the soot type, cleaned it properly, and documented everything so my claim actually went through.
OOmar S. Frisco, Texas
A puff-back from the furnace put oily soot on everything. The crew they pointed me to cleaned contents I thought were ruined and got the smell out of the ductwork. Huge relief.
GGail M. Dearborn, Michigan
Composite, illustrative examples, not statements from identified clients; individual results vary. Nothing here predicts or promises a result. Methods, pricing and outcomes vary by company, damage and market.
Hire smart
What to check before you hire anyone
A few minutes of homework protects your property and your claim. These are genuinely useful habits — and a free public resource — that apply no matter who you choose.
How to choose a smoke-restoration company
Whether you work with someone we connect you to or find on your own, run through this short checklist first:
Confirm certification & insurance. Certification signals they follow proper cleaning and deodorizing methods; insurance protects you.
Ask how they treat odor. The right answer is treating the source (fogging, sealing, duct cleaning) — not just spraying fragrance.
Get the scope in writing. Understand what surfaces and contents are treated — and be wary of anyone pressuring you to sign on the spot.
Check references & the BBB. A quick look at reviews and track record at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org) is worth the minute.
