Even small fires can cause large amounts of damage in homes. Many rustic homes have exposed beams as part of the architectural beauty. Smoke residue can damage the beams, but SERVPRO can often restore the beams to preloss conditions.

Removing Soot from Exposed Beams

Homes with wood elements are lovely. If your home has exposed beams and a fire has occurred, you may be wondering if they need to get replaced. Charring can occur, and smoke residue can embed itself into the wood. You need professional fire and smoke damage assistance in Everett to give you back your home. 

Restoring Exposed Beams with Dry Ice Blasting

Wood needs a gentle, non-abrasive method to clean the surface without damaging it further. Dry ice blasting is excellent for this. C02 pellets get used to remove charring and soot. The pellets dissipate once they hit the surface. Most of the time, there is no need to use scrapers, steel brushes, or other harsh agitative methods. The benefits of dry ice blasting include:

• Environmentally Friendly – the process is non-toxic.
• No Waste Disposal – No dust or debris to clean up with this method.
• No Water Used – Avoiding pressure washing means no water gets introduced to the scene.
• Cleanup is Easy – Any soot that falls to the floor gets easily removed.
• Money & Time Saver – The method is quick, which reduces the labor cost.
