Home · Services · Soot Removal
Dry first soot work across stone, hardwood, and high volume drywall, with garage origin events read as their own oily zone.
Soot work sorts by the surfaces these homes actually hold: painted drywall in volume, natural stone and tile around the fireplaces that anchor the great rooms, hardwood floors, and the synthetic content of modern kitchens and garages. Dry methods first everywhere, with the acid clock respected on metals, stone, and electronics. Garage origin events deserve their own read: vehicle and storage contents produce a heavy, oily soot that behaves differently on the house side of the garage wall, and the scope should name the garage as its own zone rather than an afterthought.
Soot is the clock in a fire loss. Within 24 to 48 hours its acidity starts permanent damage to metals, grout, and finishes, and within days it can yellow plastics and set stains that cleaning cannot reverse. Do not vacuum it with a household machine and do not wet wipe it; both spread it.
