Our technique avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a rag.
We match the cleaning method to the material, not the other way around.
Local Newport crews mean faster arrival before damage compounds.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into your Newport, OH home's air — ours don't.
Sponges get replaced frequently during a job since a soot-saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
This step happens before any wet cleaning, since vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing when surfaces get wet.
Tile, glass, and metal get a different chemical treatment than porous drywall and wood.
Acidic soot residue on hardware, faucets, and electronics gets neutralized before pitting sets in.
Ceilings get cleaned before walls, since falling particulate would otherwise recontaminate freshly cleaned wall surfaces.
Soot pulled into return vents circulates through the whole Newport, OH property if left untreated.

Cleaning proceeds surface by surface with a final walkthrough to confirm.
"We tried wiping the soot ourselves and just smeared it worse. Meridian Smoke Damage's sponge technique actually lifted it without streaking." — Homeowner, Newport
"They caught the soot on our kitchen faucet before it started pitting, which the adjuster said saved us a hardware replacement claim." — Homeowner, Newport, OH
"I didn't expect the vacuum step to matter that much, but the carpets ended up much cleaner than our own attempt." — Homeowner, Newport
Wiping smears fine particulate deeper into porous surfaces instead of lifting it out.
Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic soot residue starts pitting metal fixtures after that.
Yes, porous surfaces like drywall and non-porous surfaces like tile get different treatments.
Soot removal reduces odor but a dedicated odor treatment may still be needed for lingering smell.
Yes, HEPA vacuum extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning begins.
Usually within the hour, with Newport crews staged locally.
We keep response times short across Newport specifically because soot corrosion is a time-sensitive problem.
