Service Solutions

What Soot Cleanup Actually Covers

Dry-Chemical Sponge Cleaning

The primary method for lifting soot from drywall and painted trim without smearing.

HEPA Vacuum Extraction

Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.

Non-Porous Surface Treatment

Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.

Metal Corrosion Prevention

We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.

Ceiling & Wall Soot Removal

Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.

Vent & Return Cleaning

Cleaned on the same visit, not a separate appointment.
