Dry Ice Sectors: Fire Restoration











Dry Ice Sectors: Fire Restoration

A fireplace can cause soot, fumes damage and charring to wood, brick, concrete and metal. The surface will be black and it will smell of fireplace. Usually fire restoration teams use the lengthy means of layering, scraping and wire scrubbing, or other types of media blasting - which could possibly have some degree of success but may also damage the substrate (surface) as well as creating a lot of additional ‘waste’ to dispose of.

Dry ice blasting will quickly effectively remove the blackness and the scent in a fraction of the time compared to other methods, without harming the surface. What’s more you will see minimal mess to clean up as dry snow cleaning produces no by product waste as the dry ice sublimates and disappears back into the atmosphere. The only materials to get rid of is the dislodged contaminant. Dry ice cleaning will produce a superior clean, with less clutter and associated waste removal cost and also eliminate the residue smell of fire damage.

Examples of open fire remediation using dry snow cleaning:

Walls, ceilings, flooring and roofs, Industrial kitchens and equipment, Grade 1 listed buildings, Grade 11 listed buildings, Factories
