Handling Smoke and Soot

You may have heard the saying that wherever there is smoke, there is fire. The two go hand-in-hand, so any fire restoration project must address every element to achieve the best results. Our technicians are trained to deal with varying kinds of soot, including:

• Protein smoke residues
• Dry smoke residues
• Wet smoke residues
• Fuel oil smoke residues
• And more

When called to assess fire damaged homes, some of the factors that dictate whether we use dry or wet cleaning methods include:

• The kinds of materials or substances that burned
• The amount of oxygen present
• The overall rate of combustion

Natural materials usually produce dry smoke that calls for mild cleaning procedures because stains and particles are not embedded. Wet smoke residues often contain solvents or aerosols, becoming more challenging and calling for detailed restoration procedures.

No matter the level of fire damage or the materials burned, SERVPRO of Little Rock will formulate an action plan to restore your home to its pre-fire condition. Call (501) 803-9700 to mobilize a crew for restoration.
