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

A standard shop vacuum does the opposite of what's needed here.

SERVICES

Two Surface Classes, Handled On Two Separate Tracks

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

This track gets prioritized first because the corrosion clock doesn't pause for anything else.

SVC-05

Overhead Surface Sequencing

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

SVC-06

HVAC Return Decontamination

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Soot Cleanup In Loretto, PA
