In commercial structures, smoke and soot contamination can travel well beyond the visibly damaged area—often penetrating ceilings, wall cavities, insulation, ductwork, and porous surfaces. These residues don’t just stain surfaces—they can release toxic particles and gases long after the fire is extinguished. Our assessments focus on identifying harmful combustion byproducts, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and acid gases—all of which can pose serious health risks to occupants and workers.
Exposure to these contaminants can cause respiratory irritation, skin sensitivity, neurological symptoms, and long-term health complications—especially in healthcare settings, schools, or properties with vulnerable populations. That’s why surface testing, air sampling, and targeted inspection are critical after a fire or smoke event—not just for cleanup, but for occupant safety.
Our commercial fire, soot, and smoke assessments combine visual inspection with lab-based analysis of air and surface samples to confirm contamination levels and define exact areas requiring remediation. We test for combustion residues like elemental carbon, char, ash, and VOCs to determine the extent of impact and ensure no affected areas are overlooked.
Because we perform testing only, our findings are unbiased and solely focused on health and safety—not on selling cleanup services. We work closely with insurance professionals, contractors, and facility managers to provide defensible, science-based remediation protocols that reduce liability and avoid unnecessary demolition. Whether it’s a localized incident or a large-loss event, our assessments give you the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Smoke and soot can leave behind invisible but dangerous residues. Our certified testing identifies hidden combustion byproducts and provides clear, defensible remediation protocols—no remediation bias, just objective answers.
