You’ve got questions. We’ve got your back.
It’s completely normal to have a lot of questions about this. Here are a few we get the most. Have a question not listed here? Give us a call.
Can I clean up tear gas myself?We strongly recommend against DIY cleanup.
We strongly recommend against DIY cleanup. Tear gas requires special cleaning equipment, personal protection gear, and specific cleanup techniques to be thoroughly removed, and without these things, you may put yourself at risk of persistent health issues. Call us anytime to speak with a team member if you have questions.
How fast can your team come out to my home?
You can expect a team member to come to your home for an initial assessment within one day of calling us.
Will insurance cover the cleanup?
Most homeowner policies do cover tear gas remediation, but you should always check with your insurance company to be sure. We’ll provide your insurance adjuster with detailed documentation of the entire cleanup process to support your claim and communicate with them directly to ensure the process is easy for everyone.
Can you salvage my belongings?
We’ll do our best. We’ll assess each item thoroughly and let you know what can be saved and what may need replacing
What’s the difference between tear gas and CAP-STUN?
Tear gas is a powder-based agent, while CAP-STUN is aerosol based. Both can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, mouth, and skin. Our team is trained to contain and remove both types of agents from your home.
