What Happens After a Fire

The following is a timeline of the damages that often happen following a home fire. Your personal and valuable items can be severely damaged and irreparable if not cleaned as soon as possible to limit your losses.

• Within minutes: Acidic soot residue causes plastic to yellow, highly porous material such as marble and alabaster discolor permanently, and small appliances located close to the source of combustion discolor.
• Within hours: Acid residue stain grout in bathrooms, uncoated metals tarnish, furniture finishes might discolor, countertops may yellow, finishes on certain appliances such as refrigerators may yellow, and fiberglass bath fixtures may also yellow.
• Within days: Painted walls will begin to yellow, wood furniture may permanently discolor, vinyl flooring may need to be replaced, upholstery will discolor permanently, clothing also discolors permanently, and metal surfaces corrode and even rust.
