What else can happen after a fire?
In addition to soot and smoke damage, your home is exposed to other dangers you might not have considered. Mould is one of those concerns, even though home fires are not normally linked to it.
Yet, a large quantity of warmth and moisture will be present if wet substances or chemicals put out the fire. This makes your home the ideal environment for mould to thrive, potentially causing severe damage.
Mould may not be as harmful to humans as soot is, but it still has the potential to cause symptoms and accelerate the degradation of your property. You must air your property and set a dehumidifier in moist places since mould might start developing 48 hours after a fire.
Does soot cause carbon monoxide poisoning?
While burning organic fuels like wood or coal, you may notice black smoke emerging from the flames — which is carbon produced from incomplete combustion. The particles remain in the air when this smoke collects in a clogged chimney or a house fire. These particles finally reach a surface, accumulating into what we know as soot.
Tar, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are a few of the chemicals that carbon produces. Carbon monoxide gets trapped in the home during a chimney or house fire and is undetectable without a carbon monoxide monitor. Exposure to carbon monoxide by touching or interacting with the soot might potentially result in severe symptoms such as:
- Stomach pains
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of consciousness

Does your house smell of smoke?
Before smoke odour removal cleaners arrive, you should follow these steps to reduce the strong smell of smoke in your home. Firstly, you must not try to clean any soot or smoke residue using DIY solutions. These may only exacerbate the soot residue and result in staining. You can take the following steps to help ease the odour in the meantime:
Remove smoke-damaged items
Organics and personal objects exposed to smoke or heat are dangerous to keep. Do not ingest affected food, drink, medicine, or use cosmetics. Upholstery may be unsalvageable, but some fabric items require cleaning by professional cleaners.
Avoid burning oils, candles, or incense
It is tempting to burn some scented candles, oils, or incense to drown out the odours of smoke, but you must avoid doing this. This could only further increase the presence of carbon in the air and will only dull the smell for a time.
Ventilate affected rooms
You must begin to circulate air around the property. You can do this by opening all doors and windows and using indoor fans to help push the odour out of the property.
