        "text": "Even without direct fire contact, smoke can cause significant damage. Smoke contains corrosive acids and particulate matter that can etch and discolor surfaces, especially plastics, metals, and fabrics, causing permanent staining and degradation. It infiltrates porous materials like drywall, upholstery, and wood, embedding odors deeply. The acidic nature of smoke can also corrode electronics and metallic components over time. Hidden smoke damage requires professional assessment to prevent long-term issues like persistent odor and material deterioration.",
