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.

Smoke odor compounds are volatile organic molecules that bond to porous materials throughout the structure. Fire Damage Doption uses a multi-technology approach to smoke odor that attacks the compounds on every surface and in every void. If another contractor tried to handle your Chester, PA smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.

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.
