Smoke & Soot Cleanup in Northville, MI

Smoke travels further than the fire ever did.

We run smoke & soot jobs in Northville regularly, and most of them start the same way: someone finds water, smoke or mold hours after the damage began. What happens in the first day decides how much of the house has to come apart. Our crews work out of Commerce Township, so getting to Northville is a short drive, not a dispatch decision made in another state.

Our crews leave from Commerce Township, about 10 miles from Northville.

Why this happens in Northville

Northville sits in the same freeze-thaw cycle as the rest of southeast Michigan. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated crawl spaces fail in January, saturated ground overwhelms sump pumps in spring, and storms take shingles off in summer.

Our process

What a smoke & soot job looks like from start to finish.

  1. Step 1

    Assess residue type

    Dry, wet, protein and fuel soot each need a different cleaning method.

  2. Step 2

    HEPA and dry cleaning

    Loose soot is removed first so wet cleaning does not smear it in.

  3. Step 3

    Detail cleaning

    Walls, ceilings, fixtures, contents and HVAC components.

  4. Step 4

    Deodorize and seal

    Treatment and, where needed, sealing before repainting.

Questions from Northville 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 Northville?

We dispatch to Northville 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 Northville 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.
