East Baton Rouge Fire Clean-Up

Soot and smoke from all types of fires can cause significant and profound damage to your home, office or property. Smoke and soot damage is a real challenge to clean up and remediate from all of the various nooks and crannies that those little black spiderwebs can hide in. The phenomenon of Soot webs looks like maybe a Fire Spiderman came through your house and shot some crazy webs but in reality those soot webs are from an accumulation of heavy smoke that can gradually cause these unique spiderweb looking soot webs in the corners and far reaches of your property.

What in the world are these Black Spiderwebs otherwise know as soot webs?

Well in all reality it is not a Spiderman character shooting those webs but instead it is caused when the fire consumes oxygen and then the particles in the air from soot cling to that oxygen and make long smoke/soot strands that float around the room through the air until the are blown into the corners of the room and make what looks like spiderwebs. These crazy soot webs actually rise due to the heat and the HVAC systems will push them to joists, corners, and different places in small spots. These are not burned spiderwebs and they are not damagerous but they do require someone well trained to clean them up properly so they don’t cause any secondary damage by spreading chemicals and soot throughout the area.

How to get Soot Webs, Smoke and Fire Cleaned Up

Many people suffer from fires throughout the year or their neighbor suffers from fire and the smoke from their event can even transition into your home or property and it can be crucial to find a professional fire damage expert to clean it up. When building materials like wood, plastic, drywall, metal nails and personal objects burn they release smoke, soot and odor throughout the property and those things travel through the air and can land on anything and the chemical reaction from that soot and smoke can damage areas of the property that were not even near the fire. It is crucial to not try and wipe anything off without calling a professional to clean the smoke and soot up properly.
