Wet Smoke Effects After Fire Damage In Bristol Homes

Wet smoke can be a challenging situation for Bristol homeowners to overcome after a fire loss incident. Knowing all of the ways that this can affect your property can help you to understand how many residents might require professional assistance. Wet smoke is an effect generated from fires that burn at a lower heat, so instead of combusting quickly and devastating substantial areas of the house, the fire smolders and releases a thick and clammy residue across nearby surfaces, contents, and materials. 

Ultimately, there are two ways in which wet smoke can become insurmountable fire damage for Bristol homeowners. The first of these is the process needed to eliminate and clean the thick residue these situations can leave behind. Wet smoke is also more notorious for widespread odors, which also require specialized equipment and products to remove entirely. Both of these are effects that the average homeowner has not prepared to face. 

The risk of wet smoke residue is the effect that it can have on the surfaces surrounding your home. With a thick coating, conventional cleaning approaches cannot address these concerns, and most often, make them considerably worse. Smearing is a severe concern when cleaning up residues, and staining can result even days later from inadequately cleaned surfaces, contents, and materials. Many have entrusted our SERVPRO team with employing our advanced techniques to remove this harmful effect without widespread damages to your property in the process. 

Odors during these slower and lower heat exchanges can get trapped in surfaces and materials throughout the home, even those not directly in the fire’s path. To remove these odors entirely, professionals like our SERVPRO team have advanced products and cleaning agents, as well as intricate equipment that can address the neutralize odors encountered at a molecular level. 

Combating the damage to your home after a fire loss incident often requires at least partial assistance from dedicated and certified restoration specialists like our SERVPRO of Kingsport / Bristol team.
