Fire Damage Clean-up
You've had a fire. The fire department has 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 eliminate the soot and charcoal to assess the damage?
- High pressure water blasting leaves behind water in electrical elements, equipment and insulation, if not appropriately removed will trigger unwanted deterioration and rot, increasing cleanup, damage and long term upkeep costs.
- Soda blasting leaves water and soda behind, which needs additional cleanup, increasing clean-up, damage and long term maintenance expenses.
- Sand blasting leaves abrasive blast media behind, which if not cleaned up appropriately continues to trigger damage in electrical elements, gears and bearings. It continues to fall from horizontal surface areas, cracks and beams years after the task is done, increasing cleanup, damage and long term
upkeep costs.
- Dry ice blasting is the supreme surface area cleaning process, it leaves no secondary waste stream behind. The only cleanup after the dry ice blasting job is done is the removal of the particles triggered by the fire.
II. How do we eliminate the soot, charcoal and smoke movie from masonry and steel surface areas?
- Again this is an exceptional application for solidified carbon dioxide blasting. See the motion picture clips on our website to see how dry ice blasting cleans soot, smoke and charcoal from different kinds of surfaces.
III. Will we be able to get rid of that awful smoke odor?
- The removing of the odor is accomplished by getting rid of the odor source and/or sealing the odor source to encapsulate Flood Cleanup Companies it. Dry ice blasting gets rid of the soot, charcoal and smoke movie, which is the smell source, from accessible locations.
- During a fire air currents carry smoke and soot into cracks, openings and areas not in close distance to the fire itself, extra cleansing and/or sealing of these locations and unattainable locations might be required.
IV. Can we accomplish our cleanup without adding risks to our environment?
- Dry ice blasting is safe and eco-friendly. Dry ice is pure CO2 in its solid state, it remains in its gaseous state in the air around us. When we inhale our bodies use the oxygen and we exhale CO2. Green plants take CO2 from the air and emit oxygen.
- Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive and there is no staff member direct exposure to dangerous cleansing chemicals or options. Solidified carbon dioxide blasting satisfies the standards of the USDA, EPA, and the FDA.
