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

Using the wrong tool on either class tends to make the residue worse.

Racing The Corrosion Window

Local Afton dispatch keeps that window from closing before we arrive.

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

Wetting a soot-loaded carpet before vacuuming just sets the stain.

SVC-03

Non-Porous Surface Track: Tile & Glass

A completely different chemistry than what porous drywall responds to.

SVC-04

Non-Porous Surface Track: Metal Fixtures

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

SVC-05

Overhead Surface Sequencing

Ceilings get worked before walls so falling particulate doesn't recontaminate finished surfaces below.

SVC-06

HVAC Return Decontamination

Vents and returns cleaned on the same visit since they keep redistributing soot otherwise.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Soot Cleanup In Afton, MN
