Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Behavior of Smoke A fire loss is very complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. It is important to have trained technicians at the loss location. We at SERVPRO of Greater Boulder know smoke and fire loss conditions.
- Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
- Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor.
- The type of smoke will greatly affect the restoration process.

Type of Smoke The first step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. Next, we test the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.
Wet Smoke - Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
Dry Smoke - Fast burning at high temperatures.
Protein - Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
