How a Small Kitchen Fire Can Lead to Big Water Damage – And How Heritage Restoration Can Help

It’s easy to imagine a kitchen fire as just a "fire" problem—but often, the flames are just the beginning.

Even a small stovetop flare-up can result in significant damage, not only from the fire itself but from the water used to extinguish it. Whether it’s the fire department's high-powered hoses or a home fire suppression system, gallons of water can soak into floors, cabinets, drywall, and insulation in just minutes. The result? Warped wood, mold growth, electrical hazards, and structural instability—sometimes in areas the fire never touched.

That’s where Heritage Restoration steps in.

We understand the full scope of damage a fire can cause—not just from smoke and flames, but also from the water and chemicals used in the aftermath. Our experienced restoration team handles everything: water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, smoke odor removal, and complete rebuilding if needed.

A kitchen fire may start small, but the damage can escalate quickly. Let Heritage Restoration handle the cleanup, so you can focus on getting back to normal.

24/7 emergency services available. One call takes care of it all.
