Price

What drives the cost of smoke damage cleanup in Pontiac

  • Soot type: dry, oily or protein residue
  • Number of rooms and surface area affected
  • Ceiling height and textured surfaces
  • HVAC and ductwork cleaning
  • Contents that need cleaning or pack-out
  • Painting or sealing after cleaning
  • The age of the home: the typical Pontiac home was built around 1961, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Pontiac

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Pontiac was built around 1961. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

49% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Pontiac building department before work starts.

Smoke Damage Cleanup in Pontiac: FAQ

Price depends on soot type, how many rooms and surfaces are affected, ceiling height, duct cleaning and whether contents also need cleaning.
Light residue in a small area may be manageable, but wiping soot with water or household cleaners can smear it into surfaces. Test a small spot first, and call a pro for widespread soot.
Odor lingers in porous materials, insulation and ductwork. Deodorization after cleaning, and sometimes sealing primer, is needed to remove it.
