Chemical sponges lift soot instead of smearing it further into the surface.
Porous drywall gets different treatment than glass, tile, or metal.
Local crews mean faster arrival before damage compounds.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.
