If there is a fire within a home or building, most of the damage is not usually caused by the fire itself, but by the smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts the fire creates.\u00a0 These byproducts are created by the incomplete burning of materials during a fire, and they can linger long after a fire, causing damage and spreading into areas the fire didn\u2019t reach.\u00a0 It is also possible for smoke and soot to be a problem without fire as burning candles and burnt food can cause smoke.\u00a0 Smoke and soot can tarnish and etch affected surfaces and materials and this damage will become permanent without specialized cleaning.<\/p>\n

Damage Caused by Smoke and Soot<\/h2>\n

In many cases, smoke and soot cause more extensive and widespread damage than the fire.\u00a0 This is because putting out the fire does not eliminate the smoke and soot and they will keep spreading through the property until the restoration begins.\u00a0 This is why it is important to call a restoration professional once the fire is out so the damage from smoke and soot can be contained.<\/p>\n

The partial combustion of materials caused by fire is what creates corrosive byproducts like soot and oily residues.\u00a0 Soot consists of microscopic materials that travel through the air and settle throughout the property.\u00a0 It not only causes tarnishing and etching to the affected surfaces and materials, but it is also dangerous for your health.\u00a0 It takes specialized cleaning to remove soot and prevent permanent damage.\u00a0 You should always leave soot cleaning to the professionals because attempting to clean it improperly will likely make the damage worse.<\/p>\n

The other problem caused by smoke is the pungent odor it leaves behind.\u00a0 Smoke odors are so persistent because the odor particles get trapped in porous building materials and furnishings.\u00a0 The odor can only be removed with advanced deodorization methods that extract and neutralize the odor particles.\u00a0 Using air fresheners will only mask the smell, not remove it.<\/p>\n
