Smoke and Soot Facts

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a building.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The specific type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke – Wet and Dry. As a result, there are different types of soot that formed based on what kind of smoke was present in your home or business. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Henry and Spalding Counties will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred and figure out their cleaning procedures from there.

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

• Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

• Fast burning, high temperatures.
