Determining the cause of fire

12/1/2020 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO before restoration begins we will test the area where soot got on the artifact, then we will determine the 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 caused by plastic or rubber, can produce a pungent odor usually a sticky smeary soot results. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean. Now dry smoke from paper or wood is fast burning high temperatures heat rise so smoke also rises. Protein fire residue produced by evaporation of material rather than from fire is virtually invisible, discolors paint and varnishes, and has a extremely foul odor. SERVPRO fire damage restoration services are ready to tackle the problem with equipment and knowledge to bring your property back to it's original state.
