5 Scary Long-Term Effects of Mishandled Smoke Damage
Smoke particles are packed with chemicals and toxins, and many of them – like carbon monoxide, ammonia and formaldehyde – can be very hazardous to your health. The problem is that when the fire goes out, smoke particles stick around. They settle into all the items in your home that can absorb them (including upholstery, clothing, floors and walls, and even food containers). They can even get into your HVAC system and settle in locations far from where the actual fire was located.
And smoke damage can remain dangerous to you and your family for months – or longer – after the fire.
