Fire Damage Restoration Case Study in a Residential Garage
Overview
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. For the homeowner, a standard clean would not be enough. The surfaces required a safe and thorough restoration.
This case study shows how our team carried out a professional fire damage clean, restoring the property with precision methods that avoided further damage.
Challenges
The garage was structurally sound, but the fire left stubborn carbon buildup that created both visual and health concerns. Standard cleaning techniques risked damaging the underlying building materials. We needed a solution that could remove contamination effectively while preserving the integrity of the structure.
Approach
Our specialists assessed the damage and recommended dry ice blasting. This professional cleaning method uses compressed air and frozen carbon dioxide pellets to lift soot and carbon from affected surfaces. It is safe, non-abrasive, and highly effective for restoring fire-damaged areas without relying on harsh chemicals.
To help the homeowner reduce the risk of future incidents, we also discussed our fire detection services, which provide early warning systems to prevent small problems from becoming serious damage.
Solution
Through dry ice blasting, we removed the carbon deposits from the walls and ceiling, eliminating both the visible damage and the lingering residue. The surfaces were restored without the need for replacement or invasive repair.
