Making Fire Damage "Like it never even happened."

7/2/2021 (Permalink)

This before and after shows how well our method for cleaning fire damage works and makes it "Like it never even happened."

One of our new reps went on a fire job this past week to see what it's like out in the field and to get a well rounded knowledge of the business. One of our seasoned Crew Chiefs took the time to show him our cleaning process for heavy soot damage and it amazed him how well it worked. What was even more amazing is the method she used and demonstrated for him: the dry sponge. She explained to him that a dry sponge is the most effective way to clean heavy soot from surfaces. If you wet the surface and then dry it, it won't get all of the soot and it will make the stains set when it dries. When working with a dry sponge, it gets a bulk of the soot without causing more staining (of course, more severe cases will have to be painted after being cleaned). Attached is a video of our Crew Chief Brittany demonstrating how the dry sponge method works. To the right is a before and after picture from the same job. 

We hope you learned something new!
