Fire Damage to home office

This home experienced a small fire that started due to an electrical issue.  The smoke and soot traveled throughout the home.  

Smoke from any type of fire is comprised of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and soot. Depending on what’s burning, many other harmful chemicals also enter the air, and are inhaled into your lungs or latch onto walls, furniture, clothing, ductwork, and other areas.  

When it comes to your property, knowing how temperature, the surrounding environment, particle ionization, and airflow patterns affect smoke distribution can help you better restore your property to normal. To better understand how smoke behaves during a fire, review this information from the experts at SERVPRO of Arlington Heights/Prospect Heights.  Give us a call at 847-637-3445.
