Smoke and soot facts:

• Hot smoke travels to cooler areas and will rise to the higher floors of a structure.
• Smoke has the ability to follow the path of plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes.
• The type of smoke plays a significant role in choosing the right restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before the restoration every begins, SERVPRO of Denton takes the time to test the soot and make sure the correct type is identified. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber
