House on Fire Oh Soot!

Smoke and soot can infiltrate your home, causing hidden damage and odors. . Here are some important facts:

  • Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas.
  • Smoke flows around plumbing systems.
  • The type of smoke affects restoration.
 SERVPRO of Roslindale/Hyde Park will test the soot to determine the type of smoke damage and customize our cleaning accordingly. Here’s more detail: 
  • Wet Smoke (Plastic and Rubber): Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary, and creates difficult-to-clean smoke webs.
  • Dry Smoke (Paper and Wood): Fast burning, high temperatures, and rises.
  • Protein Fire Residue: Produced by evaporation, nearly invisible, discolors, and has a pungent odor.
 Each situation is unique, requiring a tailored solution. SERVPRO of Roslindale/Hyde Park has the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your property.  If you have any questions about fire, smoke, or soot damage, please call us at (857) 399-9797.
