Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal Services in Norwood, MA

Even after a fire has been extinguished, smoke and soot can remain in the air and cause havoc in your home.

Types of Smoke Damage

Smoke damage comes in various forms, and recognizing these types is crucial for effective restoration and cleanup.

Here are the primary smoke damage categories:

• Wet Smoke Damage: Slow, smoldering fires produce sticky, pungent residue that clings to surfaces and materials. Thorough cleaning and, in some cases, material replacement may be required.
• Dry Smoke Damage: Fast, high-temperature fires create fine, pervasive soot that can discolor and penetrate surfaces. Comprehensive cleaning and deodorization are necessary.
• Protein Smoke Damage: Fires involving organic materials, like meat or beans, produce nearly invisible but highly odorous smoke. Specialized deodorization methods are vital for odor removal.
• Oil-Based Smoke Damage: Fires with oils or petroleum products result in a thick, greasy residue that necessitates specialized cleaning techniques.
• Residual Smoke Damage: Over time, smoke particles can accumulate on surfaces, leading to staining, discoloration, and persistent odors. Specific treatments may be needed for removal.

Recognizing the type of smoke damage is essential for restoration experts to select the right methods and products, ensuring thorough cleanup and deodorization to restore the affected areas.
