Fire Damage --Try Dry Ice Blasting

8/21/2020 (Permalink)

What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a type of blasting method that uses dry ice pellets (CO2 in solid form) as the blasting material that cleans off the char and smoke debris. The process is environmentally friendly and provides a fast and effective alternative to traditional methods of cleaning.

Typically, the technician puts on PPE before performing this task depending on the severity of the smoke and char. The ice blast can create a dirty environment once it is blasted off the wall or smoke damaged items. 

Why Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry Ice Blasting has become the preferred method to remove smoke soot, vaporized synthetic resins, and char. Dry ice blasting can reduce or eliminate the musty burnt smell that results from fire and smoke damages in a home.

There is typical fire cleaning, but sometimes fire damages create a thick char and smoke damage that creates a need for a different type of cleaning.

The process can take several days or weeks to complete depending on the severity of the damages. It takes a trained technician to complete this process. We have several technicians who are trained in dry ice blasting. They know exactly what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to wear, where to start in the home, the most effective techniques and more.
