Home · Services · Soot Removal
Removing soot from walls, ceilings, appliances, and fixtures before its acidity etches and permanently stains surfaces.
Soot removal here is separated by source. Wood and furnace soot, plastic and protein soot, and the fine residue of an electrical fire each take different chemistry, and Troy's heating season adds the puff-back variant, where the soot arrived through the ducts rather than from an open flame. Porous and nonporous surfaces are scoped on different lines, and metals and fixtures are treated early: acidic soot starts permanent damage to finishes within 24 to 48 hours, which is the honest urgency in this service.
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.
