Smoke and Soot Damage Can Cause a Pervasive Odor in Your Home.

Fire can cause extensive damage to your property and belongings, but the aftermath of smoke and soot can be equally devastating. Smoke and soot can leave behind harmful residues, stains, odors, and health hazards that require professional attention. That's why you need SERVPRO® of Utah County and Downtown Salt Lake, the experts in fire restoration and smoke damage cleanup.

Smoke and Soot Facts

Smoke and soot are not uniform substances. There are two main types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO® of Utah County and Downtown Salt Lake will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here are the different types of smoke:

- Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

- Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

- Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire
