1.9 billion in 2020. Along with the property damage, 2730 people lost their lives and 13,100 had sustained fire-related injuries. Most of these losses were due to fires in structures. This data also revealed the frequency of these occurrences, with a home fire being recorded at every 89 seconds, a fire-related injury at every 46 minutes, and a fire-related death at every 3 hours and 24 minutes. One thing to know about fire damage is that after the fire has been put out, the smoke that is created as a result of the fire can cause even more damage if not dealt with immediately. It's dangerous for the structure as well as for people. Hiring professional smoke damage cleaning service providers like STOP Restoration Charlotte North can expedite the recovery and restoration process of your possessions and property. How We Remove Smoke Damage from Structures One of the ways that fire causes damage to a structure is through the soot that is left behind after the fire has been put out. Soot particles contain numerous toxins that damage surfaces after they come into contact with moisture. Soot particulates often number in the millions and often get into places where even soot residue isn't found. Your furniture and other possessions are particularly at risk of being damaged by soot and smoke. There is a strong burning smell that comes from furniture after a fire that is caused by the soot that settles in it. STOP Restoration Charlotte North has a team of professional cleaners that can sanitize your possessions and property to remove any lingering soot residue and particles and mitigate any damage that might have occurred. How We Remove Health Hazards Caused by Smoke Smoke also creates numerous health hazards for people long after the fire has been put out. Burnt wood, plastics, clothes, and other damaged things release strong odors and create waste that can damage your health. People with asthma or any allergies are particularly at risk of experiencing an attack or worsening of their conditions due to exposure to soot and smoke.
