Dangers of smoke damage

Health dangers

Smoke particles pose a serious risk to human health and wellbeing. Prolongued exposure can lead to significant issues and potentially life altering illnesses:

Respiratory failure: Asthma, bronchitis, persistent coughing, and chronic lung damage.
Irritation & inflammation: Severe allergic reactions, eye and throat irritation, and skin inflammation.
Systemic distress: Headaches, nausea, dizziness (due to VOCs), and increased cardiovascular strain.
Vulnerable populations: Heightened danger for children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Dangers to your property

The corrosive nature of smoke particles poses long-term risks to your property:

Corrosion: Acidic residues attack and pitting metals, fixtures, and wiring, leading to long-term structural and electrical failure.
Material degradation: Rapid deterioration of finishes, including cracking, blistering, and discoloration of vinyl, plaster, and varnishes.
Persistent Odour: Smoke particles penetrate building materials, upholstery, and contents, resulting in pervasive, stubborn odours that require molecular neutralisation, not just surface cleaning.
