Chemical sponges lift soot instead of smearing it further into the surface.
We match method to material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.
Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.

A technician answers and mobilizes the fastest available crew.
Mobile units are equipped for both porous and non-porous surfaces.
Surfaces assessed by type before a written price is quoted.
