Porous drywall gets different treatment than glass, tile, or metal.

✓

Fast Sterling Response

Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.

✓

HEPA-Filtered Equipment

Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Service Solutions

What Soot Cleanup Actually Covers

Dry-Chemical Sponge Cleaning

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.

HEPA Vacuum Extraction

Fine soot pulled from carpet, upholstery, and HVAC returns before any wet cleaning begins.

Non-Porous Surface Treatment

Tile, glass, and metal respond well to solvent cleaners that would stain something more absorbent.

Metal Corrosion Prevention

We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.

Ceiling & Wall Soot Removal

Overhead surfaces carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique.

Vent & Return Cleaning

Soot pulled into HVAC returns circulates through the whole Sterling, IL property if left alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
