An old outlet behind a window air conditioner overheated in this 1963 ranch, less than a mile from Cypress Lake High School, while the house sat empty before a sale. Smoke drifted through the separate living, dining and family rooms and settled on the tile floors. A licensed electrician replaced the outlet and the circuit feeding it, and our crew cut out the scorched wall section, cleaned every room and repainted. The owners were relieved to put the house on the market right on schedule, new 2025 roof and all.

A cutting board left on a hot electric cooktop caught fire in this unit at The Cypress, a 1984 elevator building near Cypress Lake Golf Club. Smoke filled the 1,430-square-foot condo and slipped into the shared hallway before the alarm brought help. Our technicians cleaned the unit, degreased the granite counters and repainted the kitchen ceiling. For the association, the crew also cleaned the hallway carpet and elevator lobby, so neighbors never had to live with the smell.

An air fryer overheated on the counter of this Cypress Lake Country Club condo and scorched the underside of the hickory cabinets above it. Solid hickory is worth saving, so our technicians cleaned and lightly sanded the scorched faces, then refinished them to match the rest of the kitchen. The engineered hardwood got a pH-neutral cleaning with no soaking, which kept the planks from cupping. The owner was thrilled to keep the cabinets and floors that sold them on the unit, golf course view included.

A string of holiday lights overheated on an artificial tree in this 1978 attached home at Myerlee Esquire Courts, burning the tree, the carpet beneath it and the curtains nearby. Because the unit shares a wall with the next home, our crew scanned that wall with a thermal camera before cleaning anything. It came back cool, so work moved to the living room, where the burned carpet and pad came out and new ones went down. Soot cleaning and upholstery treatment finished the job.
