After a fire, physical debris can be left in the house that must be removed immediately. Even after the noticeable damage has been picked up, there still can be lingering fire and smoke debris that you are living in without notice. Over time, living in a home that has been damaged by a fire can cause severe health issues to you and your family. Inhaling carbon monoxide and other toxic chemicals from smoke damage can make breathing hard. If not treated, more serious issues can arise such as lung infections and diseases. Skin irritation is another issue that can come from fire and smoke damage. Small, toxic particles can stick to your furniture, walls, and floors that irritate the skin when touched. Your eyes can also become itchy and watery since these particles are air bourne. Living in a house with fire and smoke damage is dangerous and symptoms in your health can worsen over time if not treated properly. This is why it is important to get a full disaster restoration cleaning after a fire to ensure all damage, visual or not, is cleaned up.
