Question: Two months ago, we had a kitchen fire. The cabinets and wall above the stove suffered extensive damage, and we also have smoke damage. We have not done any repairs yet. We are living in the home and are starting to experience headaches. What are the effects of living in a home damaged by a fire, even if contained to one room? Answer: Soot, which is left behind after a fire, is made up of microscopic particles that can be dangerous or hazardous to one’s health especially when it gets inside a person’s respiratory system. Once these particulates find their way into the person’s alveoli, they dissolve into the bloodstream and get carried into the different tissues of the body.  Don’t wait to take care of smoke damage or soot that is left in your home. Your health is dependant upon it. Call HiCaliber at 435-674-9338 or visit us online http://801website.com/hicaliber/smoke-damage.
