Expert Soot Removal in Portland, OR

Soot removal is one of the most time-sensitive steps after a fire in your Portland home. Soot is chemically acidic. Left on walls, ceilings, wood trim, and metal fixtures, it etches and stains surfaces that could otherwise be saved. Portland has a large stock of older Craftsman and Victorian homes with original woodwork and plaster. These porous materials absorb soot faster than modern drywall, which makes professional cleaning especially important here. ClearSky Restoration LLC serves homeowners, tenants, and property managers across Portland, Clackamas, Hillsboro, Gresham, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Fairview, Salem, Troutdale, Wilsonville, Tigard, and Tualatin. Our team cleans soot from walls, ceilings, cabinets, flooring, fixtures, and HVAC pathways. We also address soot that has settled inside closed rooms and on electronics. If you smell smoke or see dark residue after a fire, contact ClearSky Restoration LLC to get a clear picture of the damage and a plan to fix it.

What's included

  • Acidic soot is removed before it permanently etches wood trim, metal fixtures, or wall finishes
  • Surfaces in older Portland homes, including original plaster and woodwork, are cleaned without causing additional damage
  • Soot inside HVAC pathways is cleared so the system does not spread residue to unaffected rooms
  • Electronics and cabinets in rooms away from the fire are inspected and cleaned before corrosion sets in
  • Property managers and tenants across the Portland metro get a documented scope of soot damage for insurance purposes
  • Odor-causing soot particles are extracted at the source, not masked, so smoke smell does not return

ClearSky came out so quickly to help us with a biohazard cleanup and removal, and I would definitely recommend them! I work for a property management company, and their team was incredibly responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They provided us with a very reasonable quote and were able to schedule the cleanup for the very next day. We couldn’t be happier with the work they did for us. They were truly a lifesaver during a difficult situation. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth T Google review · September 2026

I had a great experience with ClearSky Restoration. They were responsive, professional, and thorough from start to finish. The team took the time to explain what needed to be done, documented the work clearly, and made sure everything was completed properly. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and communication throughout the process. They showed up when they said they would, treated the property with respect, and genuinely cared about the quality of their work rather than just getting the job done quickly. I would highly recommend ClearSky Restoration to anyone dealing with water damage, mold, fire or smoke damage, or other restoration needs. Reliable, knowledgeable, and professional it’s definitely a company I would call again.
