smoke damage
Charred residue stains
Smoke damage is harm caused by smoke, typically from a fire.
The term appears most often in insurance contexts, where it describes discoloration, odor, and residue left on walls, furniture, and belongings: The fire was small, but the smoke damage was extensive.
Smoke damage often proves more widespread than flame damage itself.
