What is soot and particle testing?
It detects microscopic soot, ash, and combustion residue on surfaces or in the air after fires, furnace issues, or heavy smoke exposure.
When should I get soot testing?
After a fire, puffback, furnace malfunction, or if you see black residue or smell lingering smoke.
Is soot harmful?
Yes. It can irritate lungs, trigger asthma, and cause long-term health issues if inhaled.
Can soot be invisible?
Yes. Many soot particles are microscopic and settle into surfaces without visible signs.
What areas can be tested?
Walls, ceilings, furniture, HVAC vents, filters, and air samples.
How is testing done?
We collect surface or air samples and send them to a lab to confirm contamination levels.
Is testing needed for insurance claims?
Often, yes. It provides proof of contamination for fire or smoke-related insurance claims.
How is soot different from dust?
Soot comes from combustion and contains harmful compounds. Dust does not.

Sampling takes about 1–2 hours. Lab results are ready in 3–5 business days.
