What Does Smoke Damage do to a House?

Your homeowners insurance covers all types of fires and smoke damage. Coverage includes smoke and soot, ash, protein smoke, furnace soot, wet or dry smoke, plastic or rubber smoke, candle smoke, and removal, replacement, or repair of that smell of smoke, residue, and damaged property.

Wet Smoke Creeps into Crevices

Wet smoke damage needs quick action. It has a pungent odor and causes discoloration. It is thick, sticky, and smeary, which makes it hard to clean because it works into tiny crevices around the home. You will need specialized products and methods, but since your insurance will most likely pay, we recommend hiring a professional remediation service.

 Dry Smoke Odor Lasts

Imagine the smoke residue that you can blow away. That is dry smoke, and it is relatively easy to clean. It has smaller, non-smeary particles. The odor is more bearable than wet smoke, yet it is lasting.
