Heat, soot, and debris from home fires are attracted to cooler objects and will migrate towards them like a magnetic attraction.  It is very common for even a small fire to produce a heavy build-up of soot on the bathroom fixtures because of their cooler temperatures.  This Magnolia area home experienced a small kitchen fire which spread a layer of soot and debris throughout the entire home and a heavy layer of soot in the bathroom.  Quick action is imperative to prevent the soot and debris from causing secondary damage.  If you have experienced a fire in your home or business you can count on the Professional Fire Restoration Technicians at SERVPRO® of Lake Conroe, Magnolia and Cleveland.

A strange characteristic of smoke is when plastic burns it creates clusters of cobweb-looking shapes in the corners of the room, called Smoke Webs.  Smoke Webs actually happen in many home and business fires and is not uncommon to the Professional Technicians at SERVPRO® of Lake Conroe, Magnolia & Cleveland.  A common misconception that many business and home owners have is that smoke and soot has settled onto actual cobwebs making them thicker and darker in appearance.

After using a soldering iron while working in the garage, this homeowner turned off and unplugged the soldering iron, thinking he had taken all of the necessary precautions.
