The situation

After a tactical deployment, CS powder settles into every surface, fabric, and duct in the building. The property is not habitable until it is properly decontaminated.

Why this is not a cleaning job

CS is a fine crystalline powder, not a gas. It resists water, migrates through HVAC into rooms that were never entered, and re-aerosolizes for months when disturbed. Ventilating the building does not remove it.

The one question worth asking any contractor: do you remove contaminated porous material, or clean it in place? Removal is the difference between remediation and a job that fails two weeks later. We remove it.

How we handle tear gas residue cleanup

The same documented process every time, whether it is a single room or an entire building.

  1. Assess migration

    We map how far powder travelled through the HVAC system and into adjoining spaces.

  2. HEPA capture

    Surfaces and air are HEPA-vacuumed and scrubbed before any wet cleaning.

  3. Solvent treatment

    CS requires specific solvent chemistry — water alone spreads it.

  4. Contents and textiles

    Soft goods are treated or documented for the insurance claim if not salvageable.

  5. HVAC decontamination

    The full system is cleaned; filters are replaced and disposed of as contaminated.

  6. Clear the property

    Verified and documented before re-occupancy.

What you get with us

We answer, and we come out

Every call reaches a person on our team at any hour. We dispatch immediately and typically reach addresses in our service area within 30 minutes.

Certified and documented

OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 trained. Every job ends with verification testing and a written report you keep for insurance, compliance, or disclosure.

Insurance billed directly

We bill homeowners and commercial insurance directly. Our estimates are written to carrier standards, so they get approved without argument and you are not paying while a claim is open.

Discreet by default

Unmarked vehicles and plain uniforms. No signage, no logos, no conversation with neighbors. Your situation stays yours.

Removed, not painted over

Contaminated porous material comes out. We do not clean and seal saturated subfloor and call it finished — that is why our odor results hold.

Handled with care

Our technicians are trained to work around families. We take direction from one point of contact and never ask you to look at or handle anything.

Tear Gas Residue Cleanup — questions we get asked

Is my home safe after tear gas?

Not until it is decontaminated. CS residue re-aerosolizes when disturbed and causes ongoing respiratory and skin irritation, particularly for children. Airing out the building does not remove the powder.

Does insurance cover tear gas cleanup?

Usually yes, under the dwelling and contents provisions, even when the deployment related to another occupant. We document the loss for the carrier.

Can furniture and clothing be saved?

Some can be treated successfully. Heavily contaminated soft goods are often better documented as a contents loss for your claim, and we handle that documentation.
