This case involved a garage fire caused by a discarded vape. Although the fire was contained quickly, it left heavy soot and carbon deposits on the walls and ceiling that required specialist restoration.
A discarded vape caused a fire inside a residential garage. The blaze was contained quickly, but it left behind heavy soot and carbon deposits across the walls and ceiling. A standard clean would not have been sufficient, and the surfaces required professional restoration.
The garage remained structurally sound, but stubborn carbon buildup created both visual and health concerns. Conventional cleaning methods risked damaging the underlying materials, making a more precise solution essential.
Our specialists assessed the damage and recommended dry ice blasting. This method uses compressed air and frozen carbon dioxide pellets to lift soot and carbon safely from surfaces. It is non abrasive, chemical free, and highly effective for fire damage restoration.
We also discussed our fire detection services with the homeowner to help reduce the risk of future incidents through early warning systems.
Dry ice blasting removed the carbon deposits from the walls and ceiling, eliminating visible damage and lingering residue. The surfaces were restored without the need for replacement or invasive repair.
This case study demonstrates the value of applying the correct fire damage restoration techniques to achieve fast, safe, and lasting results.
