Understanding Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Services 

What Fire and Smoke Damage Looks Like  

Even if the fire in your home or business was relatively small, the damage can be substantial. That’s because fire and smoke damage can come in a variety of forms. Here are a few to be aware of: 

  • Smoke and soot damage. The particulate matter from smoke and soot can be sticky, difficult to remove, and even corrosive. This type of damage can leave residue on surfaces and may even result in the need for cosmetic repairs after it’s been cleaned off. 
  • Fire and high temperatures. When most people think of fire damage, they think of the damage caused by direct exposure to flames. But even high temperatures can cause significant surface and structural damage to areas not directly touched by flame, resulting in corroded, warped, or melted building materials. 
  • Water damage. Unfortunately, it’s not just about the fire itself. Firefighting efforts will typically result in water buildup in affected areas. This can cause all kinds of related issues, such as mold, if not addressed immediately. 
  • Odors and air quality. In the aftermath of a fire, your property’s air quality will likely be severely compromised. Odors are also a common side effect of most fires. They may be more pungent or hazardous if you were dealing with a kitchen fire or chemical fire.
