We understand that tear gas situations often involve traumatic circumstances, and we provide professional, discreet service helping property owners recover.
Tear gas, or CS gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile), is a chemical agent law enforcement uses for crowd control, barricaded suspects, and civil disturbances. When deployed indoors, it leaves extensive contamination:
How Tear Gas Affects Properties:
Common Tear Gas Deployment Situations:
Tear gas residue requires professional cleanup. Standard cleaning methods are inadequate and can actually spread contamination.
We respond quickly to tear gas situations, coordinating with law enforcement for scene access. We assess contamination extent, identify all affected areas including HVAC systems, determine deployment method and agent type, and develop comprehensive cleanup plans.
Our technicians wear appropriate protection including respirators with chemical cartridges, protective suits, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye protection during cleanup.
We establish proper ventilation opening windows and doors, using industrial fans for air exchange, creating negative pressure removing contaminated air, and continuing ventilation throughout cleanup.
Tear gas spreads through HVAC systems requiring specialized treatment:
All surfaces require thorough cleaning:
Carpeting, upholstery, and soft goods require specific treatment:
Contaminated belongings require individual attention:
Tear gas creates persistent chemical odors requiring professional removal using hydroxyl generators, air scrubbers with chemical filtration, ventilation strategies, and sealing treatments when needed.
Before occupancy, we verify complete decontamination through visual inspection, odor assessment, and occupant safety confirmation.
If tear gas deployment caused property damage, we provide complete restoration including wall and ceiling repairs, flooring replacement if needed, painting and finishing, and property restoration to pre-incident condition.
Tear gas exposure causes immediate and lingering effects:
Acute Symptoms:
Residual Exposure: Even after initial deployment, residue causes ongoing symptoms when occupants re-enter contaminated properties without proper cleanup.
Vulnerable Populations: Children, elderly, those with asthma or respiratory conditions, and people with compromised immune systems experience more severe effects.
Professional cleanup eliminates residue protecting occupants from continued exposure.
Many property owners attempt tear gas cleanup themselves with poor results:
Inadequate Cleaning Products: Household cleaners don’t effectively remove CS gas residue. Improper products can spread contamination or create chemical reactions.
Cross-Contamination: Without proper techniques, cleaning spreads contamination to previously unaffected areas.
HVAC System Neglect: Most DIY attempts don’t address HVAC contamination, leaving residue that continuously re-contaminates properties.
Incomplete Coverage: Missing hidden contamination on ceilings, in corners, behind furniture, and in textiles leaves ongoing exposure.
Health Risks: Cleaning without proper respiratory protection exposes cleaners to concentrated chemical residue.
Persistent Problems: Incomplete cleanup means residue continues causing symptoms, requiring eventual professional intervention anyway.
Professional tear gas cleanup ensures complete, safe decontamination the first time.
Law Enforcement Coordination: We work with Marietta Police, Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, and other agencies coordinating cleanup timing and property access.
Insurance Coverage: Homeowner’s insurance often covers tear gas cleanup following law enforcement operations. Commercial policies typically include coverage for business properties.
Property Damage Claims: If tear gas deployment caused property damage beyond contamination, we document all damage supporting comprehensive insurance claims.
We provide complete documentation including detailed cleanup reports, before and after photos, itemized invoices, and decontamination verification supporting insurance claims.

CS gas residue remains irritating indefinitely until properly removed. Even dried residue causes symptoms when disturbed or when occupants re-enter properties. Professional cleanup is essential for safe occupancy.
Not recommended. Household cleaners are ineffective and may spread contamination. Cleaning without proper respiratory protection exposes you to concentrated residue. Professional cleaning ensures complete, safe decontamination.
Most homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies cover tear gas cleanup following law enforcement operations. We work directly with insurance companies providing required documentation.
Small residential properties typically require 1-2 days. Larger properties or extensive contamination may take 3-5 days for complete decontamination including HVAC system cleaning.
You can safely return after complete professional cleanup and verification, typically within a few days. We notify you when decontamination is complete and occupancy is safe.
Many items can be cleaned and restored. Porous items like upholstered furniture and some textiles may require replacement if heavily contaminated. We assess each item individually.
Tear gas doesn’t typically cause permanent damage if cleaned promptly. However, extended exposure without cleanup can damage surfaces, electronics, and materials. Quick professional response prevents permanent damage.
Yes. Tear gas contaminates HVAC systems which then spread residue throughout properties. Professional HVAC decontamination is essential before system restart.
In multi-family properties, tear gas can migrate to adjacent units through shared ventilation or common areas. We assess and address contamination in affected neighboring spaces.
We verify through visual inspection confirming no residue remains, odor assessment ensuring chemical smell is eliminated, and testing ensuring safe occupancy conditions before completion.
