Smoke and Soot Damage: A Silent Threat

12/16/2024 (Permalink)

Smoke and soot can silently infiltrate your home, causing significant damage that may not be immediately apparent. The type of smoke produced by a fire can greatly influence the extent of the damage and the necessary restoration process.

Understanding Smoke Damage

• Wet Smoke: Low-heat, smoldering fires produce wet smoke, which is characterized by a sticky, sooty residue.
• Dry Smoke: High-temperature, fast-burning fires produce dry smoke, resulting in a powdery soot residue.
• Protein Fire Residue: This type of damage is caused by the evaporation of materials like plastics and rubber. It's often invisible but can cause significant discoloration and odor.
