While it doesn’t always look like it, if you’ve ever been in a house or business with smoke damage, you understand how significant it can be. Because smoke is simply burnt particles that spread through the air, smoke and soot are able to reach areas that are deep and difficult to clean such as your carpets, upholstery, behind cabinets, and walls as well. This can result in corrosion, discoloration, and a smell that is difficult to remove. Operation Restoration offers professional smoke damage cleaning and deodorization services to the residents and business owners of central Ohio.

Dangers of Smoke Damage
Smoke contains harmful chemicals that are difficult to contain. When you have smoke in your home or business, your duct work will carry the smoke throughout the building. In doing so it has the ability to reach items and property that are nowhere near the source of the smoke. The smoke particles then can attach and damage a wide range of materials and objects, among them:
Appliances
Clothing
Windows
Furniture
Ducting
Electronics
Types of Smoke Damage
Smoke is a general term for the burnt particles that are lifted away from a fire, traveling through the air. This means that there are many different types of smoke that all depend on the materials that are being burned. These different types of smoke result in different types of smoke damage and require different methods of smoke damage cleaning to successfully restore the damaged property that it impacted. These types of smoke damage include:
Wet Smoke Damage
Wet smoke damage is the result of fires that burn slowly, at low temperatures. These slow burning fires generally produce lots of smoke that is smelly and difficult to remove.
Dry Smoke Damage
Dry smoke damage is the result of hot burning fires. These hot fires create smoke damage that is dry and powdery. Unlike wet smoke, the damage from dry smoke is often easier to clean.
Oily Smoke Damage
Oily smoke damage results from a fire that contains plastic or petroleum products. This type of fire creates a smoke with a very strong odor, and can cause irreparably damages to your property.
