Professional removal of soot and smoke film from walls, ceilings, floors and belongings, using methods that lift soot instead of smearing it.
Soot is fine, sticky and acidic. It floats through a house on air currents and settles on rooms that were far from the fire, and it keeps damaging surfaces the longer it sits. The right cleaning method depends on what burned.
We begin with dry cleaning techniques such as HEPA vacuuming and chemical sponges that lift soot without pushing it in. We then wet-clean surfaces as needed, clean or replace filters and check the HVAC system. Surfaces that cannot be cleaned are replaced, and we tell you which are which.
Burned wood and paper leave dry powdery soot. Plastics and rubber leave smears. Kitchen fires leave a thin residue that is nearly invisible but smells strongly. Each needs a different product and technique.
Wiping soot with a wet cloth pushes it into porous surfaces and can turn a cleanable stain into a permanent one. If you must touch things, use dry gloves and avoid rubbing.
Soot travels through ducts. If the system ran during or after the fire, it likely spread soot through the house. We inspect and clean ducts and replace filters.
Cleaning ceilings first, walls next and floors last keeps soot from falling onto cleaned surfaces. It sounds simple, but order matters a lot.

Odor lives in porous materials and ducts. If the source residue stays, the smell returns when humidity rises. Real removal means cleaning the surfaces, treating the air and addressing the HVAC.
Often that makes it worse. Dry cleaning first and the right product matter. We recommend waiting for a professional assessment.
Often yes, after cleaning. Sealing primer is used over stains and odor so smoke smell does not bleed through.
It can irritate lungs and skin. Wear gloves and a mask if you must enter, and keep children and pets away.
Soot falls and spreads. Starting at the top means you do not clean the same surface twice.
