Beware of Massachusetts area Soot Removal Companies that Offer Soot Removal Services Explaining How to do it Yourself on Their Websites
Now why would a company in business to remove soot tell you that you can do it yourself and offer up some advice on just what to use for chemicals, equipment, tools and processes to do it yourself…Think about it, does that make any sense at all? No.
Of course there are products at the hardware store that claim to remove soot, and yes you can read a list of instructions and follow them, but what they aren’t telling you is the outcome is almost always a disaster, one that leads to bigger soot removal projects. Sure if the damage is very localized in a small area that is out of sight, perhaps something less than what it was before would be acceptable, but anywhere else you simply can’t tolerate soot staining after the cleanup.
It is almost a guarantee that if you try and remove the soot yourself you will have permanent damage that will require additional restoration to remedy. Why else would they tell you how to remove the soot damage, but then tell you in the same breath to call them if you need help, because they know you will need help, and more of it if you attempt to do it yourself. Oh, and one more thing, if you try and remove the soot damage and you wind up with a much worse situation with permanent damage needing additional remedy, your insurance company may not cover the loss, or at least there is the risk they won’t cover the loss created by you, the homeowner, by improperly handling the soot.
Soot is Dangerous to Both Property and People, It’s Removal is Critical
Soot is comprised of extremely fine particles that are the result of an incomplete combustion process. Soot may also have included PCB’s, metal particles and other chemicals from a variety of materials such as plastic, wood and other materials, many of which may be considered carcinogens. Due to the fine particles soot can easily get into your lungs as well as your belongings, just another reason why you need professionals to undertake it’s removal.
Soot Can Travel to Remote Areas in Your MA Home or Business
When it comes to soot removal, it’s often what you can’t see that poses the greatest risk. Because soot particles are so small, they can travel into area’s beneath floors, behind walls, inside of insulation and more. Getting to those areas if necessary with minimal impact to your home or building requires deep experience and training.
