Residential Fire Damage

Florida Soot, Smoke, and Odor Removal Services

Soot, Smoke, and Odor Removal Shouldn’t Be Your Problem; It’s Ours!

After a fire inside your home or business in Florida is extinguished, soot build-up leaves a distasteful odor behind and can cause potentially serious health-related issues. Soot can smear and be pushed into surfaces when attempting to brush or wipe away, causing permanent staining that could have been avoided and pushing chlorides deeper into materials. Some soot-covered surfaces cannot even be effectively vacuumed to remove all residue without staining.

There is a misconception that smoke and soot damage are absent if the fire does not precisely impact an area. Far from the case, smoke will roam to cooler and upper areas of a structure during a fire. Even if there is a fire in the living room on the first floor of a building, the upper levels of the property may also require smoke damage restoration.

Smoke and soot damage can be acutely destructive to your home or business. Smoke damage occurs in many different types. Each type comes with individual levels of effect on your property and necessitates different restoration methods, and that is where ServiceMaster DSI Florida comes in.

5 types of Smoke Damage

Dry Smoke Residue – This type of residue occurs during fast-burning fires that burn at a high temperature. The residue is dry, powdery, and does not smear much.

Wet Smoke Residue – This type of residue occurs from slow smoldering fires with low heat. This residue is typically sticky with strong odors and can smear and be difficult to clean.

Protein Residue – This type of residue is invisible, and it can discolor paints, varnishes, and other finishes. It has a very strong odor.

Fuel and Oil Residue – This type of residue rarely comes from fires unless petroleum products have been stored on-site. Most commonly, fuel and oil residue comes from furnace puff backs that cause a fuel oil soot. This is sticky and difficult to clean.

Fire Extinguisher Residue – This residue is also sometimes a necessity. Some types of fire extinguishers do not require clean-up after use, but chemical fire extinguishers do. Clean up can vary by the type of fire extinguisher used.
