Materials that cannot be saved are removed under containment so soot does not spread.
Step 3: Cleaning of HVAC System and Ductwork
Ducts, registers and the HVAC unit are cleaned so the system does not keep blowing smoke odor through the house.
Step 4: Final Air Quality and Surface Testing
Air and surfaces may be tested after cleaning to confirm soot and odor are gone.
