Fires are a devastating loss. Not only do they do physical damage to your dwelling, but soot will also cling to the inside of your home. Immediate action is needed to help mitigate damages. It can be difficult dealing with the aftermath of a fire.  However, if left untreated, smoke and fire damage can be even more devastating in the following ways:

• Restoration Cost Increases

Smoke and Ash is a very corrosive element. It can corrode away ceilings, walls, floors and nearly any other surfaces in your home. Cleaning quickly with soap and water is not enough. Hire an experienced remediation company like SERVPRO of Simi Valley to do proper cleaning with the appropriate chemicals to contain damages that occur.

• Deposits of Soot

Removing soot residue and deposits is a highly effective first step. Soot can travel and penetrate rooms unaffected by fire damage causing harm to both those rooms and their contents within.

• Damage Extends/Permanent Damage

Smoke damage starts to set within hours and can cause permanent harm to your property. It begins to worsen and becomes more difficult to deal with if left untreated for too long. This can make the treatment process harder and more time consuming. After a fire, make sure to treat your home immediately. This can help protect yourself from prolonged smoke exposure as well as make it easier to restore your home post fire and smoke damage.
