There Are Black Spider Webs In My House!

No those are not black spider webs or cobwebs you are seeing. These are actually called soot webs. After petroleum or synthetic materials burn soot forms and bonds together. You will typically see soot webs on the ceilings and in the corners of your home after a fire. Corners and ceilings usually have a cooler temperature and will collect more soot webs. As the air is seeking equilibrium, the webs will float towards higher areas with cooler temperatures. If you find soot webs in your home after fire don't attempt to remove them, as you can cause more damage to the wall or ceiling. Dealing with a fire is already stressful enough. Let SERVPRO of Pickens County handle the clean up for you. (864) 855 - 3993.
