Fire Ash Cleaning & Post-Fire Pressure Washing

Exterior Cleaning for Homes Affected by Southern California Wildfires

Wildfires across Los Angeles and Orange County leave behind fine ash, soot, and smoke residue that settle on siding, driveways, patios, and windows — often even miles from the burn area. This buildup is abrasive, unhealthy to breathe, and can stain surfaces if left untreated.

We respond quickly and use safe, professional methods designed specifically for fire ash removal.

Why Fire Ash Needs Safe Exterior Cleaning

After a wildfire, exterior surfaces commonly show:

  • Ash buildup on siding and trim

  • Soot film on stucco and windows

  • Slippery patios and walkways

  • Roofline debris

  • Smoke discoloration

Ash is more abrasive than normal dust, so improper cleaning can scratch paint, stucco, and glass. Our method uses low-pressure soft washing and controlled rinsing to remove contamination safely.
