What We Actually Treat, And How

01

Protein Residue Treatment

Nearly invisible film from kitchen and grease fires, broken down with enzyme-based cleaners.

02

Synthetic Residue Removal

This residue spreads fast across smooth surfaces, so we prioritize those first.

03

Wet Smoke Cleanup

Thick, smearier residue from a smoldering fire, often needing a two-pass cleaning approach.

04

Dry Smoke Cleanup

Powdery residue from a fast, hot fire, lifted with dry-chemical sponges rather than solvents.

05

HVAC Residue Decontamination

Ductwork often carries residue into rooms that never saw visible smoke.

06

Textile & Upholstery Treatment

Wiping upholstery just moves residue around instead of removing it.
