Service Solutions

Every Surface Type, One Trip

Dry-Chemical Sponge Cleaning

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

HEPA Vacuum Extraction

Fine soot pulled from carpet, upholstery, and HVAC returns before any wet cleaning begins.

Non-Porous Surface Treatment

Tile, glass, and metal respond well to solvent cleaners that would stain something more absorbent.

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.

Wiping tends to smear fine particulate deeper into porous surfaces.

Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic residue starts pitting metal after that.

Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.

Particulate removal and odor neutralization are related but distinct services.

Carpets get vacuumed first to prevent smearing during later steps.
