Soot and Combustion Byproduct Services

The immediate impacts of a fire loss are often devastating, causing destruction to property and potential injury, but the lingering effects of smoke travel and soot deposition can pose additional costly challenges by contaminating unaffected areas, damaging surfaces, and requiring extensive cleaning and restoration efforts to fully remediate the damage. Whether the source is a structure fire, protein fire, or wildfire, combustion byproducts have the potential to settle onto surfaces inside homes and businesses impacting the health and quality of life of its occupants. H2M’s team of industrial hygienists has extensive knowledge and experience investigating combustion by product particulate deposition and can guide clients on the most effective strategy for identification and remediation efforts.

Fire and Soot Impact Assessment

After a fire loss, determining the extent of soot impact can be challenging. H2M’s team of industrial hygienists, led by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and Certified Fire and Smoke Damage Consultant, conducts thorough investigations that include sampling, visual assessments, and the development of tailored remediation plans. Using established industry thresholds, H2M identifies when conditions are within “typical” ranges where no action may be required, while also evaluating for secondary sources or pre-existing conditions that could contribute to soot contamination. To ensure accuracy and reliability, H2M partners exclusively with accredited laboratories for all analytical testing.

Combustion Byproduct Remediation Cost Analysis

Once H2M confirms the scope of work and develops a detailed work plan, our building consulting team utilizes it to prepare a comparative estimate. These estimates are generated using industry-standard pricing within Xactimate, ensuring clear, consistent, and supportable cost analyses for remediation projects.
