Frequently Asked Questions
About Property Restoration
Yes. Wildfire ash often contains lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals from burned homes, vehicles, and infrastructure—posing risks even in newer buildings.
Yes. Smoke particles are microscopic and embed into walls, fabrics, and HVAC systems, causing odor, corrosion, and long-term health concerns if not professionally treated.

If you live in an area with a large burn zone and there is ongoing construction disturbing soil with lead in the ash, or if there is a lot of wind (particularly common with Santa Ana winds), new lead contaminated ash can enter your home. It is definitely reasonable to test your home multiple times to make sure that you are not being re-exposed.
Yes. Unattended deaths involve biological decomposition and bodily fluids and are legally classified as biohazard situations requiring professional remediation. These situations are considered a high biorisk because there are often vectors that spread bacterial contamination all over the home
