The Damage Done When Smoke Gets In Your Chaska Home

11/18/2020 (Permalink)

When your Chaska or Chanhassen home suffers fire damage it can be a traumatic event. Many people tend to overlook the fact that smoke can do a great deal of damage all by itself, and its circle of influence often extends far beyond the area impacted by the actual fire. At SERVPRO of Chaska Chanhassen, we know that smoke can ride air currents for miles, leaving damage in its wake. 

The Damage Smoke Does

Smoke can slither in through the smallest cracks in your home's building envelope, bringing with it noxious odors, tiny particles of soot and ash, and acidic tendencies. Once inside, it settles into furnishings, personal possessions, decor, and the materials that make up a home. In many cases, it seeps into small, hidden spaces where it can go undetected, and that's a significant problem. When smoke and the residues that it carries are allowed to linger on a surface, they can cause extensive damage. In some cases, this involves saturating the item with a pungent, smoky odor. Fabrics, carpets, upholstery, clothing, and even wooden flooring or furniture can fall victim to this fate. Other materials fare worse as the smoke acts as an acid, eating away at them. Smoke can etch glass surfaces, tarnish or corrode metal ones, and stain or discolor plastics and finishes.
