Fire and smoke damage.

5/10/2021 (Permalink)

Fire and smoke damage can cause major damage to your personal property and structures. Reacting quickly can help you minimize the impact of the damage. You should consider hiring a professional to help you manage the damage in the correct manner. If left untreated, smoke and fire damage can be more devastating than the fire in many ways, including:

Cost increases

When smoke damage goes untreated for a long period, the odors become more persistent and more difficult to neutralize. This can make the treatment process more time consuming and ultimately more expensive.

Soot deposits

Neutralizing residual soot and deposits is an effective first step. If left, soot can easily travel into other rooms that weren't affected by the fire, staining the paint, carpet, furniture, drapes, clothing and any other household items.

Corrosive damage

Smoke and ash can mix with water to produce a very corrosive element. If not cleaned quickly, this corrosive substance begins to slowly eat away walls, floors, ceilings and other surfaces in your home. Just cleaning with soap and water isn't enough. This substance requires the appropriate chemicals to completely remove it and lessen the damages.
