Did you know that there are different types of smoke? 

We are here to help you with your smoke damage and to help know the difference between the three. 

There are different types of smoke that can occur.

The main three that occur are Wet, Dry, and Protein.

  • Wet Smoke- works with plastics and rubbers that have low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, and smeary.
  • Dry Smoke- works with paper and wood that is fast burning, has high temperatures, and the heat rises therefore the smoke rises.
  • Protein Smoke- is produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire. It is virtually invisible, has discolored paints and varnishes, and also has an extreme pungent odor.

If you have any questions, give us a call today.
