Kent City – Soot Isn’t Just Dirty—It’s Toxic! What Every Fire Survivor Needs to Know 2

When a fire occurs, the flames might be extinguished, but the danger doesn’t stop there. Soot and smoke residue from burnt plastics, wood, and chemicals continue to affect your health and property long after the fire is out.

🔥 What makes soot dangerous?

  • Acidic Composition – Soot from burnt materials creates corrosive residue that permanently stains walls, ceilings, and furniture if not removed properly.
  • Airborne Particles – Fine soot particles can be inhaled, leading to respiratory issues, eye irritation, and long-term lung damage.
  • Lingering Odors – Smoke odor embeds into fabrics, insulation, and HVAC systems, requiring specialized treatment to remove.

🛠 How IICRC-Certified Professionals Restore Fire Damage

✔ HEPA Vacuuming & Dry Sponge Cleaning – Prevents soot from smearing and staining surfaces permanently

✔ Thermal Fogging & Ozone Treatment – Breaks down smoke odors at a molecular level.

✔ Air Filtration & HVAC Cleaning – Removes lingering smoke residue from vents to improve indoor air quality.

📌 Soot lingers, but you don’t have to live with it!
