If you live in Valdosta there is some good news regarding public safety and your home. The Valdosta Fire Department is fortunate to have an ISO Class 1 rating, the highest in the nation, and is responsible for providing Fire, Rescue, EMS and Haz-Mat services. If you do have a fire in your home or business there are some things to consider after the fire.


Smoke and soot is very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor.


Smoke and soot facts:


Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.


Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.


The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.


Different Types of Smoke


There are two different types of smoke, wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire.

Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Valdosta will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting.

Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.


Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.


Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.
