Post-fire emergency response.
After a fire, soot and corrosive residue quickly degrade surfaces, equipment and technical installations. We step in with dry ice cleaning to restore them, limit the damage and get your business running again faster.
Why act quickly?
Soot contains acidic compounds and fine particles that become embedded, corrode and contaminate. The longer you wait, the more complex the cleaning becomes and the greater the risk of damage.
Limit corrosion
Reduce chemical attack on metals, stainless steel, components and structures.
Get back up and running faster
Dry cleaning, with no heavy dismantling, to bring areas back into service quickly.
Preserve surfaces
A dry, non-abrasive method suited to sensitive surfaces (after testing).
Make insurance easier
A documented job, with a before/after condition report for your claim.
What we treat after a disaster
- Soot, smoke and corrosive residue on metals, stainless steel, structures
- Industrial equipment: cabinets, frames, conveyors, presses, tooling
- Technical areas: motors, electrical parts, control panels
A method suited to emergencies
The process blasts dry ice (CO₂) at high speed. The pellets sublimate on impact: no water, little secondary waste and effective action on soot and fouling, while respecting surfaces.
Dry
No rinsing, ideal in technical environments.
Non-abrasive
Less risk on sensitive substrates (depending on the case).
Fast
Reduces downtime and the length of the job.
Clean
Little waste: mostly the loosened soot is collected.
Our post-fire method
Assessment & making safe
Analysis of the substrates, level of fouling, access, risks and priority areas.
Targeted cleaning
Settings (pressure, flow, nozzles) adapted to the surface: precise action, without unnecessary dismantling.
Inspection & restoration
Visual check, finishing, protection recommendations and planning if several areas are involved.
Responsiveness that counts.
Water damage or fire: two different approaches.
Each type of damage calls for specific treatment. Response times and the nature of the work differ depending on the cause.
| Type of damage | Response time | Typical work |
|---|---|---|
| Water damage | 24 to 48h | Drying, disinfection, mould prevention |
| Fire | 24 to 48h | Soot treatment, deodorisation, deep cleaning |
| Electrical damage / smoke | Emergency | Soot cleaning, ventilation, odour control |
Responsiveness and traceability for your claim.
Common use cases
Workshops & technical areas
Restoration of equipment, structures and production areas.
Multi-area sites
Work carried out by priority to limit downtime and make areas safe.
Sensitive substrates
A test-area approach and fine adjustments depending on the substrate.
