Removing soot from walls, ceilings, appliances, and fixtures before its acidity etches and permanently stains surfaces.
Soot removal is a chemistry exercise before it is a cleaning one. Wood soot, plastic soot, and protein soot each need different handling, and the wrong first wipe smears all three. Orange's older stock adds a surface problem: plaster, unfinished attic wood, and aged paint take soot differently from modern drywall and are priced and cleaned on different lines. The scope maps soot by room and by surface, so the estimate prices the house that exists, not a template.
Soot is the clock in a fire loss. Within 24 to 48 hours its acidity starts permanent damage to metals, grout, and finishes, and within days it can yellow plastics and set stains that cleaning cannot reverse. Do not vacuum it with a household machine and do not wet wipe it; both spread it.
