Specialized sandblasting to remove char, soot, and smoke stains from fire-damaged structures—preparing surfaces for rebuilding and neutralizing odors.
After a fire, structural surfaces are often covered with char, soot, and smoke residue that penetrates deep into porous materials like brick, concrete, and wood. Traditional cleaning methods struggle to remove these stubborn contaminants, leaving behind stains and persistent smoke odors.
Midwest Sandblasting offers specialized fire damage restoration blasting services that completely remove fire damage from structural surfaces. Using advanced techniques like soda blasting, we clean away char and soot while also neutralizing acidic residues and eliminating smoke odors.
Our services are ideal for restoration contractors, insurance adjusters, and property owners facing the challenge of restoring fire-damaged commercial or industrial buildings.
