The flames lasted minutes. Grease, soot, and odor can linger for months if you clean them the wrong way. We clean up and restore FAST.
Even a small stovetop fire can leave sticky residue on cabinets, a film on every surface, and a smell that spreads far beyond the kitchen. FastPro provides certified kitchen fire cleanup across Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. We remove the residue with the right method, eliminate the odor at its source, restore your kitchen and belongings, and document every step for your insurance claim.
Kitchen fires leave some of the hardest residues to remove, because they mix several types of contamination at once.
Each residue demands a different cleaning method. Using the wrong one, such as scrubbing protein residue with a household degreaser, can set the residue and odor permanently. That is why professional kitchen fire cleanup starts with identifying what you are dealing with.
Grease, soot, or a burnt-food smell that will not go away? Call (484) 415-0818 to schedule your free inspection. A certified crew can be dispatched within about an hour.
Great experience with this restoration company. They did a great job on my kitchen and were very easy to work with. Fernando was especially helpful, always had a great attitude, and was always willing to help whenever we had questions. Definitely recommend them!
“We had an oven fire on Christmas. The fire company responded and took care of the fire and smoke. Nick from FastPro came to make sure the house was properly aired out, and the cleaning crew did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who has had fire or smoke damage in their home.”
“I had a small kitchen fire, and they did a great job handling my situation.”
Every loss is different, so our plan starts with a full assessment of the residue types, the materials affected, and how far the smoke traveled.
We inspect the kitchen and every adjacent space, identify residue types, and record photos and residue testing for your claim. Our process follows the principles of the ANSI/IICRC S700 Standard, which covers assessing fire residues and odors affecting a building, its HVAC system, and its contents.
We clean cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, walls, and ceilings with residue-specific methods for protein, grease, and soot, inside and out.
Ranges, cooktops, microwaves, refrigerators, and range hoods are cleaned and evaluated. Appliances that cannot be safely restored are documented for your claim.
We remove dry chemical extinguisher residue from surfaces, appliances, and contents before it adds to corrosion.
If smoke entered the HVAC system, we clean and decontaminate air handlers and ductwork so odor does not keep circulating.
Odor embeds in drywall, insulation, cabinetry, upholstery, and wood framing. We clean or remove the source first, then deodorize the air, structure, and contents. We never mask odor with fragrance.
Dishes, cookware, small appliances, linens, and other belongings are triaged item by item: cleaning for hard goods, specialized dry cleaning for textiles, and off-site storage while the kitchen is restored. Items we cannot restore are inventoried and documented before they are discarded.
If the fire department used water, we extract it and dry the structure to limit further damage.
When cabinets, drywall, flooring, or other materials must be replaced, we coordinate repairs so you are not managing multiple contractors.
Fire and smoke damage is our focus. Our crews match the cleaning method to the residue, which is what separates real restoration from surface cleaning.
The same team handles assessment, cleaning, odor removal, contents, water extraction, and repairs. You work with one accountable company from the first call to the day you cook in your kitchen again.

Kitchen fire cleanup is the professional removal of soot, grease, protein residue, extinguisher residue, and smoke odor after a cooking fire. It includes assessing the residue types, cleaning surfaces and appliances with the right methods, removing odor sources, deodorizing the property, restoring contents, and documenting the loss for insurance.
FastPro dispatches a crew of certified professionals within about an hour and is typically on-site within 90 minutes across Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.
For very light residue on a single hard surface, perhaps. For anything more, we do not recommend it. Protein residue, grease, and soot each require a different cleaning method, and household cleaners can smear soot deeper into surfaces or set odor permanently. Smoke also travels beyond the kitchen into areas you may not see.
Because protein residue from kitchen fires is nearly invisible but intensely odorous. Odor molecules embed in drywall, cabinetry, insulation, upholstery, and HVAC ductwork that redistributes them every time the system cycles. Effective kitchen fire cleanup removes or seals the source and treats the air and contents, not just the visible surfaces. Learn more about our smoke odor removal process.
Often, yes. Standard homeowners and commercial property policies may cover fire damage, including kitchen fire cleanup and the smoke and water damage caused by fighting the fire. What varies is your deductible, contents limits, and whether the policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value. Your adjuster makes the final decision. We document the damage with photos and a detailed scope so your adjuster has what they need to review the claim.
Yes. We document kitchen fire cleanup from the first assessment through the day you walk back into your kitchen, including photos, scope of work, and contents inventory. We write estimates in Xactimate and coordinate directly with your adjuster, so you stay the decision-maker.
We recommend having the property assessed before you stay there. Smoke residue carries fine particles and combustion byproducts that can irritate the eyes and airways, even when the damage looks minor. Children, older adults, and anyone with asthma or heart or lung conditions are most at risk. If the smell lingers, treat it as ongoing exposure and call us for an assessment before you reoccupy.
It depends on the extent of damage and insurance approvals. Minor losses generally run one to two weeks. Moderate damage with water intrusion and significant smoke penetration typically runs three to five weeks. Major losses requiring reconstruction can run six to twelve weeks or longer.
Often, yes. Cabinets with surface residue can usually be cleaned and deodorized. Cabinets that are charred, warped, or have absorbed odor deep into the material may need replacement. During kitchen fire cleanup, we evaluate each section and document what must be replaced for your claim.
Not until they have been evaluated. Soot is acidic and conductive, so it can corrode circuit boards, contacts, and wiring and cause failures weeks or months later. Do not power on affected electronics. We document and evaluate them and specify decontamination or replacement for your claim.
Dry chemical residue must be removed carefully because it spreads easily and adds to the corrosive load of soot. As part of kitchen fire cleanup, we remove it from counters, appliances, floors, and contents with methods matched to each surface.
Every day residue stays in your kitchen, it sets deeper into cabinets and surfaces, corrodes appliances, and keeps your home smelling of smoke. One call sends a certified local crew to assess, clean, and document the loss, typically within 90 minutes depending on your location. Then we stay with you through restoration and your insurance claim.
