Knowing what type of fire / smoke occurred is crucial to determining our cleaning method:
- Dry Smoke Residue – High-Oxygen, fast burning fires at a high temperature. Produces a dry, powdery residue. Paper & Wood
- Wet Smoke Residue – Low-Oxygen, smoldering fire with low heat. Produces a greasy, wet, sticky residue which can cause discolorations and corrosion of metals. Candles (synthetics) give of a soot that is attracted to metals such as screw heads. Plastics & Synthetics
- Protein Residue – Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.
- Petroleum (Fuel Oil) Residue – Commonly referred to as a furnace “puff back” causes a fuel oil soot. This can be relatively sticky and difficult to clean.
- Fire Extinguisher Residue
