Soot & Smoke Damage

Whenever you come across soot and smoke damage, there's a certain level of time and consideration that needs to be taken to ensure additional damage is not created.

Any type of damage is hard to deal with and a significant loss to whose home it is. Soot can develop through three different methods:

• Wet soot residue—results from smoldering, low-heat fires. This residue is sticky, smeary, and has a very pungent odor.
• Dry soot residue—results from fast-burning fires with high temperatures. This residue is typically dry, powdery, and non-smeary.
• Protein residue—almost invisible but can discolor paints and varnishes in your home. This residue also has an extremely pungent odor.
