Soot Removal in Philadelphia

Soot left behind by a fire is acidic and oily — it etches glass and metal, stains walls and ceilings, and is hazardous to breathe. Wiping it with the wrong method can grind it deeper into surfaces. Our crews remove it safely using the correct techniques for each material.

How We Handle Soot Removal

• Identification of soot type (wet, dry, protein) for correct cleaning
• Specialized dry and wet cleaning methods by surface
• Protection of HVAC and unaffected areas
• Removal of soot from walls, ceilings, contents and fixtures
• Odor neutralizing after residue removal
• Documentation for insurance
