SERVPRO understands that using professional equipment makes a measurable difference in reducing claims loss expense. When time matters, technology and equipment must be counted on to perform. Certainly, the right tool for the job is vital to timely mitigation and restoration, but perhaps more important, SERVPRO fire damage professionals are thoroughly trained in fire cleanup and restoration. For instance, knowing the different types of smoke and their behavior patterns are vital to proper restoration. 

Wet Smoke - Plastics and Synthetics; Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary.

Dry Smoke - Paper and Wood; Fast burning, high temperatures, dry, nonsmeary residues.

Protein - Virtually invisible; extreme pungent odor.

Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace Puff Backs.

Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint powder and fire extinguisher residue.
