Smoke and soot can penetrate the smallest crevices and its odors can permeate your home causing irreversible damage to your home, so it's important to hire professional fire damage restoration contractors. 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.  

Important Smoke and soot damage facts:

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas including upper levels of the structure.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes and travels from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke may greatly affect the entire 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 the East End and Hamptons 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.
