When fire and water take control of your life, we help you take it back. Our goal is to make it…”Like it never even happened.” #608-497-3331

Believe it or not, those are not spider webs but soot webs from fire damage. Soot webs, also known as "soot tags" and "smoke cobwebs," are strings of carbon released from a fire. As the heat circulates into colder spaces, soot particles follow in chain-like formations and create these webbed structures. Soot webs are completely new formations created by soot from a fire, not neglected dust or spider webs.

A fire can leave behind soot, smoke odor damage, and other problems. As fire restoration and remediation specialists, SERVPRO® of Dane County West professionals are used to seeing the unique and often spooky appearance of soot tags. Smoke and soot can be toxic, creating a hazardous situation for your property.
