Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Soot Damage Removal for Napa Homes and Businesses

Soot comes in different types: dry soot from fast fires, sticky soot from burning plastics, protein residue from kitchen fires and oily soot from furnace puffbacks. Each needs a different approach, and the wrong one sets stains permanently.

We start with HEPA vacuuming and dry chemical sponges, then use cleaning agents suited to the residue and surface. Soot is acidic, so faster cleaning saves more.
