Service Solutions

Every Surface Type, One Trip

Non-Porous Surface Treatment

Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.

Metal Corrosion Prevention

We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.

Ceiling & Wall Soot Removal

Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.

Soot pulled into HVAC returns circulates through the whole Ottumwa, IA property if left alone.
