Understanding the Destructive
Nature of Smoke & Ash
Did you know that the smoke and soot from a fire can cause as much harm as the flames? It’s crucial to act promptly and enlist professionals who specialize in comprehensive restoration services.
One key aspect of smoke damage is how quickly it can lead to issues. Within just a few minutes, smoke and soot can stain walls and leave behind unsightly marks.
Within a few hours, you may notice discoloration on your kitchen appliances, etching on glass surfaces, and corrosion on metals. Other materials in your home or property can also be susceptible to damage. Repairing this damage may require specialized cleaning methods or repairs.
Exposure to smoke from a fire can also pose significant health risks, even after the fire has been extinguished. Inhaling smoke and soot particles can cause respiratory problems, eye irritation, and skin irritation. Prolonged exposure to smoke can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.
