What is Smoke?

1/14/2020 (Permalink)

We all know smoke, we have seen it coming from our fireplaces, or even smelt it when driving past a fire. But what is smoke? When something is on fire, it begins to decompose. As it is decomposing it will release solid particles, gases and aerosols. A Fire and Water Clean up and Restoration company is immediately needed to start the cleaning process. 

SERVPRO of East Portland understands the dangerous outcomes of a fire. Our crews are IICRC trained and fast responding when it comes to fires. 

One of the items our crews look out for is soot. When the smoke settles onto surfaces, the particles become a buildup that is viewed as soot. Soot contains various types of acids that can cause staining and consumption whenever left excessively long on materials. 

At SERVPRO of East Portland our technicians are prepared to recognize and clean a wide range of smoke and their deposits.
