What Soot Cleanup Actually Covers

01

Dry-Chemical Sponge Cleaning

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.

02

HEPA Vacuum Extraction

Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.

03

Non-Porous Surface Treatment

Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.

04

Metal Corrosion Prevention

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

05

Ceiling & Wall Soot Removal

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

06

Vent & Return Cleaning

Soot pulled into HVAC returns circulates through the whole St. Elmo, IL property if left alone.
