Cleaning Smoke and Soot Damage in McKay Landing

4/29/2021 (Permalink)

Let SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada make your fire damage in McKay Landing “Like it never even happened.”

Smoke is a mixture of gases and small particles. The small particles are also called ash, and they include soot. Soot is the collection of particles left from incomplete burning of products that contain carbon. These products include wood and coal. Smoke and soot do not destroy materials the way fire does. They leave behind greasy films and have an unpleasant odor. SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada can clean up damage from smoke and soot in your McKay Landing home.

Smoke moves from warmer areas to cooler areas. You will find smoke and soot damage on the ceiling above where the fire started, but you will also find damage in other places. Our SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada team looks for damage in/on:

• Closed-off spaces: Smoke and soot settle in cooler areas, including dresser drawers, closed closets, and wall cavities
• Drapes and blinds. The drapes and blinds are cooler than other parts of the house. During a fire, the areas behind the drapes and blinds are cooler than the rest of the room. Remember that smoke travels to the cooler areas, leaving behind smoke and soot.
• Outside walls and windows: Even if the fire was in the center of the room, smoke travels to the cooler areas
• Air ducts: smoke and soot travel throughout the house

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada investigates these areas to get a good idea of what kind of damage is in your McKay Landing property.

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada is independently owned and operated.
