Soot Fire Damage

Soot damage before and after on glassware from a house fire.

No matter how big or small a house fire can be – Soot from the fire can cause more damage than the actual fire itself.  Soot is a black, powdery substance that is produced when a fire does not completely burn its fuel source. During a fire the soot often becomes ionized, which causes it to adhere to surfaces like your furniture – walls and various contents of your home. The type and temperature of a house fire and the materials burned will affect the cleanup steps needed to restore your property and your most prized possessions.
