Soot Removal

Expert Removal of Soot and Smoke

Even when a fire is swiftly extinguished, the aftermath is marked by ongoing harm caused by smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts. These elements not only induce discoloration, etching, and tarnishing but also impart a persistent foul odor to the affected property. Generated by the combustion of synthetic materials, these corrosive byproducts remain active long after the fire has been put out. Unless addressed promptly post-fire, these byproducts will continue to deteriorate materials, potentially leading to irreversible damage.

Soot and smoke can be difficult to remove, but most importantly, they are a hazard to your health. In fact, soot can continue causing damage to a surface long after the fire is put out. The mitigation of soot left behind after a fire requires a trained specialist, particularly if different substances were burnt in the fire. This makes soot removal a more complicated task.
