Boone Smoke and Soot Cleanup

Smoke and Soot Damage Can Cause a Pervasive Odor in Your Boone Home.

Smoke and soot is very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allows us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.  

Smoke and soot facts:

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Boone will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

• Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

• Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

• Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.

Tips for Emergency Fire Damage

12/16/2020 (Permalink)

Whether you have fire damage in your home or your business, SERVPRO of Boone is here to help restore your property "Like it never even happened."

In the unfortunate case that a fire takes place at your home or business, keep these tips in mind:

1. Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into carpet and avoid tracking. 

2. Keep hands clean. Soot on hands can further soil upholstery walls, and woodwork. 

3. If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open to help prevent odor. 

4. Wipe soot from metal kitchen and bathroom faucets, trim, and appliances. 

5. Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces without first contacting your SERVPRO of Boone Professional. 

6. Don't attempt to shampoo carpet, rugs, or upholstered furniture without first consulting with your SERVPRO of Boone Professional. 

7. Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances (TV sets, radios, etc.) that may have been close to fire, heat, or water without first consulting an authorized repair service.
