Part 1: Smoke Damage Isn’t Just Cosmetic—It’s a Health Hazard
Many people assume that once the flames are out, the danger has passed. But smoke damage can pose serious health threats long after the fire is extinguished.
Smoke contains microscopic soot particles and toxic compounds such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. These particles can embed into walls, ceilings, furniture, and even your lungs. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory problems, eye irritation, and exacerbate conditions like asthma or bronchitis.
Because smoke damage isn’t always visible, it’s important to act quickly and call professionals to assess and mitigate the damage.
