WHY-US

Why We Classify Surfaces Before Cleaning Anything

Porous Vs. Non-Porous Testing

Treating both classes the same way is the most common soot-cleanup mistake.

Correct Tool Per Class

Dry-chemical sponges for porous materials, solvent agents for non-porous ones.

Racing The Corrosion Window

Metal fixtures get attention early since acidic residue starts pitting fast.

Contained HEPA Extraction

Fine particulate captured rather than recirculated back into the air.

SERVICES

What Soot Cleanup Actually Does, By Surface Type

SVC-01

Porous Surface Track: Drywall & Trim

Dry-chemical sponge work lifts embedded particulate without pushing it deeper.

SVC-02

Porous Surface Track: Carpet & Textiles

HEPA extraction pulls particulate before any wet cleaning ever touches the fiber.

SVC-03

Non-Porous Surface Track: Tile & Glass

Solvent-based agents lift residue that a dry sponge would just smear across a hard surface.

SVC-04

Non-Porous Surface Track: Metal Fixtures

Acidic residue neutralized on faucets, hinges, and hardware before pitting starts.

SVC-05

Overhead Surface Sequencing

Sequencing matters as much as the cleaning technique itself.

SVC-06

HVAC Return Decontamination

A property can look clean and still be recirculating particulate through the ducts.

FAQ

Soot Cleanup FAQ

Porous materials absorb soot into the surface itself; non-porous ones just hold it on top.

We test each surface individually rather than assuming one method works everywhere.

That window is a major reason response speed matters here.

Particulate removal and odor treatment are related but distinct services.

Yes, as long as HEPA extraction happens before any wet cleaning step.
