When is Something Considered Damaged by Smoke?

Smoke does so much more than stain walls and make your home smell bad. It contains acidic compounds that corrode metals and can etch glass. It can have serious effects you’re your physical health and damage your belongings. When is something considered damaged? In order to understand more fully how smoke effects a home and the damage it can cause, let’s consider an outline of the smoke damage process and what can happen if smoke damage isn’t taken care of properly and quickly

  • In minutes, smoke will settle into soot. Soot will cause permanent discoloration of any porous material it lands on. Discoloration can also be made on materials like marble, alabaster and most plastics found in a household.
  • Since soot is acidic, in hours it can start to corrode metal and tarnish appliances, electronics and many other belongings.
  • Painted walls will become stained as well as clothing.
  • Fiberglass bathroom fixtures will begin to yellow, along with many other appliances, such as washer, dryer or refrigerator.
  • Any carpet in the home will be permanently yellow and smoke removal will be basically impossible in a few days.

Why is Smoke Dangerous?

If you expose yourself to smoke and soot you may experience irritation of the skin and eyes. It can also cause damage through inhalation or ingestion. Since airborne soot particles aren’t visible, you may be affected and not even know you’ve been in contact with it. Once soot enters your blood stream, it can cause several health problems. A few can be, respiratory issues, shortness of breath, bronchitis, asthma, or much worse. The affects can have even more long term and severe effects on infants and toddlers who are still developing their respiratory systems.

Smoke and soot not only smell bad and look terrible, but as we are seeing, can affect your health in a negative way. Therefore, it is so important to take care of smoke damage as soon as you possibly can. Don’t delay in calling a professional restoration company. Also, this is NOT something that should be cleaned up on your own and without the proper equipment, knowledge and experience.

Odor Caused by Smoke

After a fire, a homeowner is overwhelmed to say the least. As we have discussed, smoke and soot can damage property and belongings. Can anything that can be done to fix the smell?

The good news is, there is a solution to smoke odor! Remember that the most important step is getting to the source of the smell and removing it. Below we will discuss just three deodorization techniques used to get your home smelling clean and fresh.

  • Ozone Machines
    • This method destroys bacteria molecules that produce the smoke odor. Ozone is made up of 3 oxygen atoms which allows itself to become attached to other molecules and change the actual structure of the molecules. We know, it sounds complicated, but the end result is the end to smoke odor!
  • HEPA Filtration
    • HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air, this system works at removing odors by filtering the air. Bad odor particles are filtered out to ensure clean air safe for breathing is all that is left behind.
  • Thermal Fogging
    • A thermal fogger rids air of odor by neutralizing all odor particles. This is most commonly used for after a fire to rid a home of smoke odors.
