Common Types of Smoke Damage

Smoke is an insidious element of fire incidents that can cause widespread damage even after the flames have been extinguished. Smoke particles can travel far beyond the fire’s point of origin, infiltrating every nook and cranny of a property. That is why having a preliminary deodorization and detoxification program is important. 

With 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, this is always part of the emergency mitigation services we provide during a fire restoration job. With 24/7 emergency services, we can offer support swiftly and reliably. This kind of rapid, responsive fire damage restoration is essential to minimizing the scope of smoke damage around your property. 

Wet Smoke

Wet smoke results from fires that burn at a lower temperature, creating a smoldering, slow-burning fire with thick, sticky smoke residues. This type of smoke damage is particularly common in fires involving synthetic materials and plastics. The sticky residue created by wet smoke can be challenging to clean. These smoke particles are small and tightly packed, making them harder to dislodge from surfaces.

Dry Smoke

Dry smoke results from fast-burning, high-temperature fires that consume natural materials like wood and paper. Dry smoke leaves behind a powdery residue that is easier to clean compared to wet smoke. However, the high heat of the fire can cause more significant damage to surfaces and materials.

Protein Smoke

Fires involving food or kitchen-related incidents often produce protein smoke. While it may not appear as visibly thick as wet or dry smoke, protein smoke is highly pungent and leaves behind challenging odors.

Steps in the Fire Damage
Restoration Process

Property restoration after fire and smoke damage is a complex and multi-faceted process that requires meticulous planning, specialized equipment, and skilled professionals. Each fire incident is unique, and the extent of damage can vary widely, necessitating a tailored restoration approach. 

With 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, here’s what you can expect from the fire damage restoration process. 

Safety Measures and Site Inspection

• Safety First. Ensuring the safety of the property and all individuals involved is the top priority. Before any fire damage restoration work begins, our team will assess potential hazards, such as structural instability, electrical issues, and compromised air quality.
• Damage Assessment. We then inspect the property to determine the extent of fire, smoke, and water damage. This assessment helps in formulating a comprehensive specialty cleaning and restoration plan.

Water Extraction and Drying

• Excess Water Removal. If firefighting efforts result in water accumulation, it must be promptly extracted to prevent additional damage. Specialized procedures with commercial-grade industry-standard extraction equipment are used for efficient water removal cleanup.
• Drying and Dehumidification. Commercial-grade restoration air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry out the affected areas thoroughly. Moisture can lead to mold growth and further structural deterioration if left unchecked.

Cleaning Soot and Smoke Residue

• Smoke Residue Identification. Depending on the type of smoke (wet, dry, or protein), appropriate cleaning methods are chosen. Dry smoke residues can be powdery and easily cleaned, while wet smoke residues may require more aggressive cleaning agents.
• Surface Cleaning. Fire damage restoration professionals use specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to remove smoke residues from walls, ceilings, floors, and personal belongings.

Deodorizing and Odor Removal

• Odor Neutralization. Lingering smoke odors can persist even after cleaning the visible residues. Deodorizing agents are applied to neutralize odors and facilitate a fresh-smelling environment.
• Air Purification. Industry specific HEPA air scrubbers are used to further improve indoor air quality by capturing and eliminating airborne particles and odors.

Repairs and Rebuilding

• Structural Repair. Damaged structural components, such as walls, ceilings, and flooring, are repaired or replaced to restore the property’s stability and integrity to its pre-loss condition.

Final Inspection and Handover

• Thorough Inspection. Before concluding any fire damage restoration process, a comprehensive inspection is conducted to ensure that all fire and smoke damage has been addressed.
• Certification and Handover. Once the property is deemed fully restored, our fire damage restoration company provides certification of completion. The property is then handed back to the owner.
