A Guide to the Hidden Dangers of Smoke & Soot in Cornwall, PA


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 Cornwall, PA 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.

Cornwall, PA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

Cornwall was initially settled by Peter Grubb in 1734. Peter was a Chester County stonemason who came to, what was then Lancaster County, in search of high quality stone for quarrying. First building his house and then a store, he discovered magnetite iron ore nearby and decided to test its quality, he found the ore to be exceedingly pure. Grubb wrote to Philadelphia and in 1734 was granted a warrant to purchase 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land. For three years Peter followed veins of ore until he found a large deposit that was easily accessible; however, this ore was not within the bounds of his property. So in 1737 he purchased an additional 142.5 acres (0.577 km2) of land. In 1742 Peter built a cold blast furnace and named it Cornwall, after his father's birthplace in England. The Cornwall Iron Mine was, at one time, the largest open-pit mining operation in the world. They were mined continuously until June 30, 1973, totaling 236 years of production.
