Fires can be particularly destructive in their own right, but so too can the resulting smoke and soot. In fact, it is the latter that typically causes the most damage. This may sound counterintuitive, but the main factors at play are the airborne nature of the elements in question, and the extensive damage they can cause to sensitive materials in your home or office space.
At Water Damage Drying Services, we specifically target smoke, soot, and similar results of fires to prevent additional damage, and return your property in Providence, RI, to normal.
Airborne Elements Following a Fire
While smoke and soot are the most easily recognizable results of a fire, there are other corrosive byproducts to be wary of. When certain synthetic materials in buildings are burned, they release dangerous chemicals that combine with standard smoke and soot to cause damage. Once in the air, these byproducts spread to areas of your property that were seemingly unaffected by the fire. If this situation is not tackled swiftly, then permanent damage can result.
Smoke and Soot Damage
As smoke travels and soot settles, extensive and permanent damage can occur to your building and belongings. Understanding the process by which this happens goes a long way in learning how to treat it.
When it comes to smoke, your primary concern should be porous materials (this could include drywall and paint, or even fabrics in your furniture). These porous materials can absorb smoke to cause a variety of problems. Odors are obvious, but physical damage can take place, as well.
The consequences of soot damage tend to be more visual than those of smoke. This is because soot can lead to tarnishing and etching of unprotected surfaces. Additionally, there are a variety of materials commonly found within residential and commercial buildings that can sustain further damage if cleaned improperly.
