Identifying Soot Before Commencing Fire Damage Cleanup

Soot clings to every surface, a stark reminder of the damage done. SERVPRO® experts identify the type of residue because not all soot is the same, and each kind requires a unique cleaning approach. Wet smoke residues that form from low-temperature, smoldering fires involving synthetic materials are sticky and smear easily. To clean, our crews use specialized degreasers and solvents.

Other types of smoke residues

• Dry
• Protein
• Fuel oil residues

Why Identifying Water Category is Crucial in Restoration      

Water damage might seem straightforward to homeowners, but it's not. SERVPRO professionals identify the type of water damage. Each category—clean, gray, and black water—demands a tailored approach to ensure proper cleanup. Blackwater from sewage backups or floodwater is highly contaminated and poses hazards. Cleanup requires a rigorous process, including biohazard protocols, material removal, and advanced sanitization techniques.
