Find Out What's Settling Inside Your Home After a Fire.
Wildfires, nearby structure fires, and smoke infiltration can leave behind microscopic soot, ash, and other fire-related particles on surfaces throughout your home—even when visible damage is minimal.
The HomeSAFE Fire, Soot & Ash Testing Kit provides a convenient way to collect surface samples using adhesive tape lifts and submit them for professional microscopic laboratory analysis.
What Does the Kit Test For?
Your samples are examined under a microscope to identify the presence of fire-related particulate matter, including:
Soot: Fine carbonaceous particles associated with combustion.
Ash: Residual particulate matter that may result from burned materials.
Other Fire-Related Particles: Additional identifiable particles, as supported by the laboratory's analytical method.
What's Included in Your HomeSAFE Fire, Soot & Ash Testing Kit?
1 Adhesive Tape Lift – For collecting suspected soot and ash particles from surfaces.
1 Sample Bag – For securely storing and transporting your collected sample.
1 Pair of Disposable Gloves – To help prevent contamination during sample collection.
Step-by-Step Instructions – Easy-to-follow directions for collecting, packaging, and submitting your sample for laboratory analysis.
Reusable Shipping Box – Use the original HomeSAFE kit packaging as your return shipping box to send your collected sample to the laboratory.
Professional Laboratory Analysis Included – The purchase price includes microscopic soot and ash identification of your submitted sample, along with a laboratory results report. No additional laboratory analysis fee is required.

HomeSAFE — A Safer Home Starts Here.
Important: This kit provides microscopic identification of particles collected from sampled surfaces. It does not test for chemical contaminants, determine the source of individual particles with certainty, measure airborne exposure, or establish whether a property is safe for occupancy. Results are limited to the submitted samples and the laboratory's analytical methods.
