Smoke and soot are more damaging than they may appear. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) notes that smoke and soot may cause more damage than the flames themselves.
Smoke and soot:
- Frighteningly corrosive – given time, may destroy even metal and stone
- Greasy – attract debris, make items dangerous to handle
- End up in odd places where you might not know to look, therefore continuing to damage your home
- Travel on air currents and through the air ducts, spreading their damage
- Often require specialized tools and cleaners that vary according to what was burned and on which materials the smoke and soot are resting
- Have powerful odors that make it unpleasant for you to be the home
Another common hazard after a residential fire is water, which may come from:
- Burst pipes, firefighting, sprinkler systems
- Sewage, appliances, the outdoors, and other sources of contaminated water
As any Floridian knows, with excess water comes mold or other microbial growth, which:
- Develops after 24 to 48 hours of constant exposure to moisture
- Spreads rapidly, eating the structure and your belongings
- Has a musty odor
Removal of both water and microbial growth requires specialized skills and equipment, as does the mitigation of damage and subsequent restoration.
