Caused by fast-burning, high-temperature fires, dry smoke leaves behind a fine, powdery residue. While easier to clean than other types, it can still settle deeply into porous materials, requiring professional cleaning to fully remove.
Resulting from slower, low-heat fires, wet smoke is thick, sticky, and smells strongly. Its greasy residue clings to surfaces, making it more difficult to clean and often causing more extensive damage to walls, ceilings, and fabrics.
Produced from the burning of organic materials, such as food or plants, protein smoke is nearly invisible but leaves strong, lingering odors. This type of smoke can discolor paint and finishes, requiring detailed cleaning to eliminate both the smell and damage.
To effectively address smoke and soot damage, it’s crucial to follow a systematic cleaning process. Our detailed approach ensures the thorough removal of residues and odors, restoring your property to its original condition. Here’s how we tackle smoke and soot damage:
At Willard’s Restoration, we provide comprehensive fire damage restoration services to help you recover from the devastating effects of a fire. Our expert team handles every aspect of the restoration process, from emergency board-up and tarping to thorough cleanup and repair.

Here are some water damage tips to help you navigate the situation while waiting for us to arrive:
Open windows and doors to increase airflow and help disperse smoke odors. This can reduce the concentration of smoke particles and make the environment less harmful.
Do not touch or clean surfaces affected by smoke until professional cleaning can be done. Oils from your hands can spread soot and make it more difficult to remove later.
Cover furniture, carpets, and other items with clean sheets or plastic to protect them from additional soot and smoke damage. This helps minimize further contamination until our team arrives.
Switch off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to prevent smoke from spreading through the ductwork. This helps limit the spread of smoke residues and odors throughout the property.
Document the extent of the smoke damage by taking clear photos of affected areas and items. This visual record will be useful for insurance claims and for our team to better assess the situation when we arrive.
