A Guide to the Hidden Dangers of Smoke & Soot in Berkeley, CA


The type of smoke and soot created in a fire depends on what materials burned. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective cleanup, which is why professional restoration by AZ Remediation in Berkeley, CA is so important.

  • Wet Smoke (From Low-Heat, Smoldering Fires): This is often from burning plastics and rubbers, leaving a sticky, smeary residue with a pungent odor that is difficult to clean without professional agents.
  • Dry Smoke (From High-Temperature, Fast-Burning Fires): This typically comes from burning natural materials like paper and wood, leaving a powdery soot that gets into every crack and crevice, including electronics and HVAC systems.
  • Protein Residue (From Kitchen Fires): This residue from evaporated proteins is often invisible but leaves a very strong, unpleasant odor that can permanently discolor paints and varnishes.
  • Fuel Oil Soot (From Furnace Puff-Backs): This is a greasy soot from malfunctioning oil-fired furnaces that requires specific cleaning methods to remove without smearing.
