Attic Cleaning in Los Angeles, CA

Here is a before and after picture of a residential attic that needed to be cleaned. Visibly, soot is a dusty black powder that appears as a by-product of fire or any form of combustion. Formed from any combination of metals, soils, acids, dust and other chemicals, the most common cause of soot is from the burning of fossil fuels in industry, manufacturing and domestic fireplaces. Flue damage in a chimney that might go through the loft area could cause a number of issues. Anything that negatively affects a chimney’s ability to remove hazardous gases, drawing them up and away from the home, presents a danger.
