Several variables can determine the ease of cleaning up after a fire loss incident. Knowing how the situation can change with these factors means always providing the most efficient and cost-effective restoration solution. Some variables to smoke and fire damage cleanup include:

• Amount of Heat – The heat of the fire can impact the type of smoke residue left behind, namely dry and wet smoke. 

• Air Pressure – With hot air expansion during a fire, soot, and smoke can be forced into crevices and more challenging areas. 

• Affected Surfaces – The type of affected material can affect how easy the cleanup goes. Painted surfaces can often be treated with wet cleaning approaches. At the same time, unfinished wood could be heavily damaged and require more cleaning time and supplies. 

• Moisture – The presence of moisture in a fire-damaged home (during the blaze and afterward) can impact the soils and residues. Wet smoke damage can stain surfaces and be a considerable challenge to remove without compromising the underlying substrate.
