Fire Damage Clean-up

You've had a fire. The fire department has actually come, put the fire out and all you see is one huge mess. Upon closer examination questions come.

I. What method do we utilize to get rid of the soot and charcoal to assess the damage?

- High pressure water blasting leaves behind water in electrical elements, devices and insulation, if not appropriately gotten rid of will cause undesirable deterioration and rot, increasing clean-up, damage and long term upkeep expenses.

- Soda blasting leaves water and soda behind, which needs additional clean-up, increasing cleanup, damage and long term maintenance expenses.

- Sand blasting leaves abrasive blast media behind, which if not tidied up correctly continues to trigger damage in electrical parts, gears and bearings. It continues to fall from horizontal surfaces, fractures and beams years after the job is done, increasing cleanup, damage and long term

maintenance costs.

- Dry ice blasting is the ultimate surface area cleaning procedure, it leaves no secondary waste stream behind. The only cleanup after the dry ice blasting job is done is the elimination of the debris brought on by the fire.

II. How do we remove the soot, charcoal and smoke movie from masonry and steel surface areas?

- Again this is an outstanding application for dry ice blasting. View the film clips on our website to see how dry ice What Does Mitigation Mean blasting cleans up soot, smoke and charcoal from different kinds of surfaces.

III. Will we be able to get rid of that horrible smoke smell?

- The removing of the smell is achieved by removing the odor source and/or sealing the odor source to encapsulate it. Solidified carbon dioxide blasting eliminates the soot, charcoal and smoke movie, which is the smell source, from available areas.

- During a fire air currents carry smoke and soot into fractures, openings and locations not in close proximity to the fire itself, extra cleansing and/or sealing of these locations and inaccessible areas might be required.

IV. Can we accomplish our clean-up without including risks to our environment?

- Dry ice blasting is safe and eco-friendly. Solidified carbon dioxide is pure CO2 in its strong state, it is in its gaseous state in the air around us. When we inhale our bodies use the oxygen and we breathe out CO2. Green plants take CO2 from the air and give off oxygen.

- Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive and there is no worker exposure to harmful cleaning chemicals or options. Solidified carbon dioxide blasting fulfills the guidelines of the USDA, EPA, and the FDA.

You've had a fire. The fire department has come, put the fire out and all you see is one huge mess.- Dry ice blasting is safe and environmentally friendly. Dry ice is pure CO2 in its solid state, it is in its gaseous state in the air around us. Green plants take CO2 from the air and provide off oxygen.
