Why this happens in Birmingham
Two things drive most of our calls in Birmingham: basements and weather. Nearly every home here has one, and Michigan gives them plenty to deal with — heavy rain, frozen lines and power outages that stop a sump pump mid-storm.
Our process
What a smoke & soot job looks like from start to finish.
- Step 1
Assess residue type
Dry, wet, protein and fuel soot each need a different cleaning method.
- Step 2
HEPA and dry cleaning
Loose soot is removed first so wet cleaning does not smear it in.
- Step 3
Detail cleaning
Walls, ceilings, fixtures, contents and HVAC components.
- Step 4
Deodorize and seal
Treatment and, where needed, sealing before repainting.
Questions from Birmingham property owners
Why does the smell come back on humid days?
Because residue is still somewhere: ductwork, insulation, an attic space. Humidity reactivates it. It needs to be found and removed.
Can I wash the walls myself?
Wet cleaning soot before dry cleaning usually sets the stain. Let us dry-clean first.
Do the ducts need cleaning?
If the system ran during or after the fire, yes.
How quickly can you get to Birmingham?
We dispatch to Birmingham around the clock. Call and we will give you a straight answer on when a crew can be at the door instead of a promise we cannot keep.
Do you work with Birmingham permits and inspections?
Yes. Where the repair scope requires a permit, we pull it with the local building department and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
