How Different Fire Types Affect Your Home

Fire damage can be devastating for any home, with each type of fire resulting in a different kind of damage.

Common fire types include:

• Protein Fires: Food from the oven or stove burn and create smoky residues on contents and surfaces.
• Complex Fires: Natural and synthetic items have burned and left greasy yellow residue on contents, necessitating emergency corrosion mitigation.
• Natural Fires: Smoke from burning trees, shrubs, or bushes entering your home will leave smoke residue and smell.
• Furnace Malfunction Fires: Oil-fired furnaces malfunctioning leads to smoke spreading throughout your property.

The right fire restoration solution depends on identifying the fire type - so contact ServiceMaster DSI to schedule an appointment today!

Smoke Damage Restoration in Maple Grove

Smoke damage can manifest in various ways, and understanding the different types of smoke damage is crucial for effective restoration and cleanup efforts.

The primary smoke damage types:

1. Wet Smoke Damage: Slow, smoldering fires produce sticky, pungent residue that clings to surfaces, often requiring extensive cleaning and, in severe cases, material replacement.
2. Dry Smoke Damage: Fast-burning fires create fine, pervasive soot that can penetrate surfaces, requiring comprehensive cleaning and deodorization.
3. Protein Smoke Damage: Fires involving organic materials result in nearly invisible but highly odorous smoke, requiring specialized deodorization methods for effective odor removal.
4. Oil-Based Smoke Damage: Fires involving oils or petroleum products produce a thick, greasy residue that demands specialized cleaning techniques due to its composition and adhesion.
5. Residual Smoke Damage: Over time, smoke particles accumulate on surfaces, causing staining, discoloration, and persistent odors. Specific treatments may be necessary for removal.

Understanding the type of smoke damage is vital for determining the appropriate cleaning methods, products, and techniques. Each type of smoke damage presents unique challenges, and addressing them effectively may involve a combination of cleaning, deodorization, and, in severe cases, material replacement to fully restore the affected areas to their pre-damage condition.

What Can Be Saved From Smoke Damage?

These are the types of surfaces that can be professionally restored after a fire:

• Glass - Glass is relatively easy to return back to normal after a fire, given there was no cracking or chipping. You may be left with some etching, so it will be up to you to decide what condition is satisfactory to keep.
• Wooden Floors - With some refinishing, hardwood floors are able to be restored, as long as there was no serious charring or burn marks.
• Metal - Metal is pretty good at withstanding fires, usually left intact under a layer or soot.

There are some things you typically do not want to save after a fire due to contamination or irreparable damage, including:

• Food
• Medicines, cosmetics, or hygiene products
• Mattresses and furniture

Other items may be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

This Is Not the Time for a DIY Project

Once the flames are doused, it doesn’t mean you should go back in your home anytime soon. The residue left behind from a house fire can be hazardous to your health if not taken care of quickly and correctly. By attempting to clean your home on your own without the necessary training, you could even cause more damage to the structure than was already there in the first place. That’s because oils from your hands can permeate upholstery, walls, woodwork, and other surfaces in the aftermath. Washing the walls incorrectly can compound soot residue, and electrical accidents may also occur due to wet surfaces or faulty wiring.

Only restoration professionals like ours at ServiceMaster DSI should tackle this kind of project. Our team at ServiceMaster DSI has the necessary training and tools to work on your fire-damaged home and restore it to pre-disaster conditions.
