Why Are Malden Ceilings Heavily Damaged By Smoke After a Fire?

5/11/2021 (Permalink)

Smoke and soot can travel to even the smallest of areas, call SERVPRO of Malden / Melrose for help as soon as a fire arises.

Ceilings and upper wall sections can contend with high concentrations of smoke and soot in Malden homes.

The transfer of heat and the movement of the fire is greatly influenced by convection which allows lighter, warm air to rise. This also forces smoke towards the ceiling of the property during the fire. When extinguishment completes, the upper portions of the wall and ceiling materials can be heavily impacted by:

• Smoke
• Ash
• Soot
• Debris

How Does SERVPRO Manage High Vault Ceiling Damages?

There are several hazards to cleaning up after smoke damage and beginning fire restoration in Malden properties. Removing soils and smoke residues from high vault ceilings typically requires machines like scissor lifts, scaffolding, or ladders to safely clean. A sampling of the residue is necessary to identify the ideal removal approach. We can utilize filtration equipment during abrasive or aggressive cleaning tactics to capture any dislodged and recirculating soot and smoke particles.
