Every surface gets classified before any tool touches it in your Flourtown, PA property.
Using the wrong tool on either class tends to make the residue worse.
Local Flourtown dispatch keeps that window from closing before we arrive.
A standard shop vacuum does the opposite of what's needed here.

Sponges get rotated out constantly since a loaded sponge starts redepositing soot.
HEPA extraction pulls particulate before any wet cleaning ever touches the fiber.
A completely different chemistry than what porous drywall responds to.
Acidic residue neutralized on faucets, hinges, and hardware before pitting starts.
Ceilings get worked before walls so falling particulate doesn't recontaminate finished surfaces below.
Vents and returns cleaned on the same visit since they keep redistributing soot otherwise.

Crews arrive carrying tools for both the porous and non-porous tracks.
You see the plan split by surface class before approving anything.
Both tracks get worked through to a final inspection you sign off on.

Classification happens before any cleaning tool comes out.
Roughly two days under typical conditions, which is why we prioritize metal early.
Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell sometimes needs a separate treatment.
Yes, as long as HEPA extraction happens before any wet cleaning step.
