Understanding Wet Smoke Damage and How to Overcome It 

Suwanee residences suffer fire damage like everywhere else in the country, often amplified by several factors in the year's colder months. Understanding the nature of the damage, specifically wet smoke damage will be necessary for homeowners who may find themselves in this unfortunate situation. 

Why Wet Smoke Damage is Common in Cooler Months

While structure fires can immediately require fire damage restoration in Suwanee homes, that is not the only way wet smoke threats are generated. As temperatures lower, many residents seek warmth from their heating systems, wood-burning stoves, or fireplaces. Here is where wet smoke damage often occurs.

When materials burn slowly and smolder, they produce wet smoke. This substance is denser and stronger-smelling than the dry smoke generated by fast-burning fires. Cooler temperatures contribute to less efficient combustion in many heating systems, leading to more persistent smoke.

Wet Smoke Damage Effects

The effects of wet smoke on your household could prove to be a considerable challenge for DIY restorers. Wet smoke leaves a sticky residue on walls, ceilings, and belongings, making cleaning more difficult. Here are some key impacts of wet smoke damage: 

  • Odor: Wet smoke produces a distinct, often lingering odor that can permeate walls and furnishings. Complete removal requires specialized deodorization techniques. 

  • Staining: Soot left from wet smoke can stain various surfaces, making them an eyesore and a common source of frustration for homeowners. 

  • Health Risks: Continued exposure to wet smoke residues can result in health hazards, especially for people with pre-existing respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other sensitivities.
