Even the Smallest of Fires Pose a Risk

Some fires are confined to a single room. It could be from a faulty electrical outlet, lighting, space heater or cigarettes or maybe starts as a kitchen fire. While the remainder of the home is safe, there are other risks, such as structural damage, or the chance for another fire. Homeowners may not even be aware of these dangers until fire restoration services are called in to inspect and repair the damage. The best way to guarantee complete recovery is to hire a professional restoration service to thoroughly investigate and address the damage.

The Dangers of Smoke

The property damages caused by fire are more apparent and understandable, many homeowners make the mistake of assuming that smoke primarily, leaves only an odor or light discoloration behind. Some homeowners even try to clean smoke­ stained areas themselves, often making the problem worse. Actually, the oils and salts found in human skin react with smoke residue in a way that causes more significant—and even more permanent—property damage. Proper cleanup protocols and techniques are essential. Smoke damage should be a top concern for homeowners who have fallen victim to a fire. More than mere property damage, smoke also poses a health risk; it leaves behind toxic residue that can be inhaled or absorbed into the body from contact, so smoke can be detrimental to the health of all home occupants. Given it’s acidic nature and ability to travel virtually anywhere within the structure, smoke can also cause further damage to property over time. Paint and furniture finishes can slowly be eaten away, and electrical components can deteriorate, creating conditions for a future fire. Smoke damage restoration services can effectively clean an area exposed to dangerous smoke and restore property that has been damaged. Even if there aren’t any clear indications of smoke damage, it is normally wise to have an area that has been exposed to fire properly inspected and cleaned. So, in the event of a fire of any size that has occurred in your home or place of business, call in a fire or smoke restoration service company as quickly as possible.
