Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Chester, PA

Soot is not just a surface problem. In Chester, PA homes and businesses, soot particles penetrate deep into wall cavities, insulation batts, subfloor materials, and HVAC systems. Partial soot removal always fails - Chester, PA property owners who've had one company try and fail know this firsthand.

Smoke odor compounds are volatile organic molecules that bond to porous materials throughout the structure. Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Chester, PA property. If another contractor tried to handle your Chester, PA smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.

  • Ozone therapy that reaches smoke compounds in walls, floors, and hidden cavities of Chester, PA homes
  • Hydroxyl machine treatment - safe for occupied areas during ongoing remediation

Incorporated in 1682, Chester is the oldest city in Pennsylvania and was the location of William Penn's first arrival in the Province of Pennsylvania. It was the county seat for Chester County from 1682 to 1788 and of Delaware County from 1789 to 1851. Chester evolved over the centuries from a small town with wooden shipbuilding and textile factories into an industrial city producing steel ships for two World Wars and a myriad of consumer goods. Since the mid-twentieth century, it has lost its manufacturing base and over half of its residents and devolved into a post-industrial city struggling with pollution, poverty, and crime.
