Soot & Dust Removal by Dalworth in Arlington, McKinney, Irving, & Azle

Soot, the black residue left behind after a fire, is formed when various materials, such as wood, plaster, natural fibers, synthetics, foams, and plastics, are burned. Soot sticks to any surface that's cooler than the fire, usually walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces.

Billions of tiny soot particles are toxic to humans and create an acidic reaction when they come into contact with moisture. This results in corrosion damage to almost any surface. Removing soot requires expert attention. Before we begin soot and fire damage cleanup, there are several safety and cleaning tips to remember.

Follow These Safety Protocols Before Dalworth Experts Arrive to Begin Work

• To avoid transferring soot to other surfaces, never touch anything during your initial inspection of the room.
• When working in a room with soot damage, always wear gloves, a face mask, and clothing that covers your skin.
• To avoid inhaling soot particles and dissipate smoke odors, keep the room well ventilated.
• To make cleanup easier, remove as much debris as possible from the room.

Soot and dust damage from fires can cause some of the biggest and longest-lasting problems in restoring your home or office. This is why soot and dust damage cleaning is such a vital and urgent task, even in places where soot residues may not be visible.
