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.
Smoke residue circulated through ductwork gets cleaned separately from surface work.
