Managing Smoke and Soot Damage
Soot contains an electrostatic charge that causes it to latch tightly to surfaces, including granite, wood, ceramic, and metal, making it difficult to remove through standard cleaning methods. Closed cabinet doors are no match against smoke and soot. We recommend emptying cabinets, drawers, and pantries and tossing all packaged food, including refrigerated food. Our crews offer specialized cleaning methods, and some items take multiple treatments.
Effective soot cleanup techniques
- HEPA vacuuming
- Dry cleaning
- Wet cleaning
- Ultrasonic cleaning
Typically, our crews employ dry cleaning methods during the initial stages of soot removal. For example, we use vacuums with HEPA filters to capture loose soot particles without redistributing them. Another effective dry-cleaning method is using chemical sponges. These are designed to lift soot from surfaces such as walls and ceilings without smearing.
Tackling Residues from Wet Smoke
Typically, soot from a kitchen fire leaves stubborn deposits; therefore, the most effective technique is wet cleaning. Enzyme-based cleaners are effective at breaking down protein-based soot residues, while alkaline cleaners are suitable for tackling oily soot soiling. For extremely resistant soot on sturdy surfaces, we employ abrasive cleaning methods such as media blasting and soda blasting.Master Restoration handles a wide range of restoration projects, from in-depth soot cleaning to comprehensive restoration of water and fire damage.
