Fire Restoration Can Help Voorhees Properties Recover After Fire Damage

After a fire happens within a structure, it is not uncommon to find multiple black cobweb-like formations located on the ceiling up around the room's corners. Removing these can be tricky for a novice and lead to further damage if done incorrectly.

When SERVPRO handles the fire restoration services for Voorhees properties, the techs see smoke webs regularly. The webs are not cobwebs but rather a result of the ionization process that occurs when synthetic materials burn, such as 

• Plastics
• Rubber items
• Polymer-containing articles 

The charged smoke particles rise and get attracted to the ceiling, particularly in rooms' corner areas, leaving a web-like formation. Because these are wet smoke, they cannot get simply lifted away and require a cleaning agent with a solvent base to release the grip on the wall or ceiling. This type of smoke damage is also highly pungent. It often creates the need for odor control treatments to eliminate the odor.
