Fire damage can affect different areas of a property in unique ways. Understanding these types helps determine the right approach to repair and restoration.
Faulty wiring or overloaded circuits can cause fires, damaging the electrical system. Restoration requires inspecting and repairing to ensure safety.
Fires can significantly harm property contents, including furniture and electronics. The damage level varies with the fire’s intensity and its duration.
Fire can weaken building materials, leading to compromised walls, roofs, and foundations. The severity can range from minor warping to complete collapse.

Post-fire, the primary threat to your home is smoke damage. Acidic smoke residues can lead to permanent damage, such as corrosion, staining, and discoloration of materials.
The type of residue varies depending on the fire’s nature and materials burned:
Sticky and odorous, this residue forms during smoldering, low-heat fires and clings stubbornly to surfaces. It is often accompanied by a strong smell, difficult to remove without specialized cleaning.
Powdery and lighter, this residue forms from high-temperature, fast-burning fires and spreads easily. It is often easier to clean but can cause significant damage if left untreated.
Virtually invisible but odorous, this residue results from burning organic materials like food. It coats surfaces with a sticky film that is challenging to clean and leaves a persistent smell.
Varied in composition, these residues arise from burning synthetic materials and contain toxic substances. They can be sticky, powdery, or greasy, requiring tailored cleaning methods.
