What is Soot?
Soot is a black or dark gray powdery or flaky substance consisting primarily of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete combustion of coarse organic materials such as coal, wood, and other oils. In nature, soot is found in smoky air streams caused by burning materials like dried leaves, grass, and charcoal grills. Soot is a major air pollutant with numerous health complications, including increased risks of cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer-related illnesses.
Dry Soot
Because this type of soot typically accompanies a very hot fire, it is highly rich in oxygen. It is composed of natural substances and inflicts increased damage to surfaces as compared to other types of soot. Also, it is extremely difficult to clean because the particles are so small that they aren’t visible on various walls, surfaces, furniture and belongings.
Wet Soot
This type of soot is produced when low-heat fires run out of oxygen. It is high in moisture and consists of rubbers, plastics, and oils. It has a strong, noticeable odor and can be easily smudged. A good rule of thumb; if you run your finger along a soot-covered surface and it smudges, you have wet soot.
Oily Soot
Oil furnace puff backs emit oily soot, which can adhere to any surface, regardless of the material. A puff back is a small explosion that occurs inside your furnace’s burner chamber when there is an excess of fuel that ignites – this transmits smoke and soot into your home. If your gas or oil furnace is not maintained properly, an expensive and hazardous puff back can potentially occur.
Protein Soot
Protein soot can form during cooking and is nearly unnoticeable to the naked eye. It’s commonly a consequence of kitchen fires, and because it is tough to see, the nasty smell is the only reliable indicator of its existence. This type of soot can result in paint or wallpaper discoloration and can be very difficult to remove.
Is Smoke and Soot Damage Dangerous?
Soot is not always evident to the naked eye, but it can cause a variety of health problems. Soot particles as small as a grain of sand can enter the lungs. These particles are toxic and can trigger a variety of respiratory problems, including bronchitis, COPD, asthma, and other serious illnesses.
Smoke and soot exposure can also result in cancer and carbon monoxide poisoning. Ammonia, tar, formaldehyde, ketones, hydrogen chloride, sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carboxylic acids, and numerous other chemicals can be found in smoke and soot. Eliminating all signs of smoke and soot damage on your property is critical to ensuring the safety and health of your family and friends.
The Significance of Smoke & Soot Damage Repair
Smoke damage restoration following a fire is critical for a variety of reasons, none as important as the health and security of our customers. If there has been a fire on your property, you should not attempt to clean up or remove any residue without the assistance of professionals as it can be dangerous.
Our smoke and soot damage restoration specialists have vast expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, allowing us to resolve any type of smoke and soot damage and bring you peace of mind. Before you move back in, we make certain that your home is a secure and safe environment for you and your family.
Here are some of the major reasons why we recommend immediate smoke and soot damage restoration by a professional following a fire or furnace puff back:
Health & Safety Risks
Smoke and soot contain substances that are hazardous to one’s health. Carcinogenic substances such as benzene and formaldehyde, for example, are emitted by combusting materials such as carpets and furniture. If your home has been exposed to smoke, carbon monoxide gas may be present. Asbestos is another regular household material that, if disturbed, can cause serious disease and illness. Ultimately, bacteria and mold can develop in your home after it has been exposed to a fire, also as a result of the water and chemicals used to extinguish the fire (if they were not cleaned up properly).
Avoiding Further Damage to Your Property
Restoring and mitigating smoke or soot affected areas is imperative following a fire to reduce further environmental impact on nearby areas. The longer these smoke deposits are left in place, the more difficult it becomes to eradicate them. As a result, you or your restoration company must act quickly to remove soot and smoke damage from the walls, floors, air, and insides of your home or property.
Prohibiting Future Fires
Smoke damage can harm electronics by interfering with the device’s heat-producing component. Short-circuiting can occur when smoke is present in electronic devices that can lead to another fire. Different types of soot and smoke necessitate different cleanup procedures.
