The Impact of Smoke and Soot Damage

12/5/2024 (Permalink)

Smoke and soot can penetrate deep into your home, causing significant damage to your belongings and structure. Understanding the different types of smoke damage is crucial for effective restoration.

Types of Smoke Damage:

• Wet Smoke: Produced by smoldering fires, wet smoke is characterized by a pungent odor and sticky residue.
• Dry Smoke: High-temperature fires produce dry smoke, which can result in a powdery soot residue.
• Protein Fire Residue: This type of damage is caused by the evaporation of materials like plastics or rubber. It can be difficult to detect but can cause significant damage to surfaces.
