Fire Damage
Fire damage to your walls and ceilings can be a problem that is extremely unpleasant to clean. This is one of those jobs that requires the experience of professionals. If you are willing to tackle the problem yourself then be prepared for some hard work. Depending on the extent and type of damage done.
Soot and Charring
Fire damage causes black marks and discolouration to your walls and ceiling. Soot is the residue left by smoke. Charring is the actual burning of the paint. It may be impossible to clean heavy soot and charring from flat-painted walls.
Soot Isn't Just Soot
You must also understand what kind of soot you’re playing with. The ability to wash walls and ceilings will be determined on the amount of heat after fire damage. Different material types may require specialized chemicals for cleaning. A decision must be made to choose whether to remove gyprock, clean and paint or just wash. Similar to a protein fire residue, plastic flame soot is much larger and visible. The soot’s micron size can be very small so it’s not all obvious. It is important to understand that the most likely pollution will occur in your property and will affect most of the contents.
