Protein residue tends to yellow surfaces over time if untreated — we address it before that staining sets.
This residue type spreads fast across smooth surfaces, so we prioritize hard surfaces first.
Residue from a smoldering, low-oxygen fire — thicker, smearier, and harder to remove than dry smoke.
Dry-chemical sponges lift this residue type without smearing it further into porous surfaces.
Ducts often carry residue into rooms that never saw visible smoke — we test and treat accordingly.
Textiles absorb smoke residue differently than hard surfaces and need their own treatment protocol.
