What Is Structural Cleaning?
Structural cleaning from Dreyer’s DKI is a service designed to remove soot, odor, and other effects of fire damage. It’s essential that the results of fire damage, as well as ash and burn marks, are removed quickly from the space. Structural cleaning often tackles a property’s foundation, walls, floors, and ceilings. If these areas are left untreated after a fire, the property can lose its structural integrity, putting it at risk for bigger issues. To carry out our structural cleaning process, we use top-of-the-line technology and proven techniques that remove all remnants left behind from the fire. The use of high-pressure washers may also be used. We use intricate scrubbers to clean more delicate surfaces. If there are areas that are tougher to deal with or require more attention, we’ll use special brushes and solutions.
Decontamination After a Fire
Dreyer’s DKI yields a detail-oriented approach to accurately and thoroughly assess the damages at hand. During the process, prevent additional damage to the property’s structures. Our decontamination process after a fire is designed to target all aspects of a property, including things like wood, concrete, drywall, roofing, and more. With leading techniques and technology, you can trust our team to rapidly get your property back to living conditions. Here is what our team may address during this process:
Concrete
One of the more resilient materials to fire damage is concrete. However, concrete can still stain from burns during a fire. Its strength can become compromised if the fire is severe enough. Additionally, indoor concrete with excess amounts of residue build-up can lead to health complications. With Dreyer’s DKI at your side, you can trust we have a range of solutions to deal with fire damage. A thorough cleaning of the concrete is important not only for the property’s foundation but for the health of its occupants as well. We’ll clean your property’s affected concrete with industrial scrubbers and pressure washers to address these concerns.
Steel
Soot on steel surfaces can be a health hazard when inhaled. Steel can also lose its strength when exposed to heat, causing it to deteriorate or buckle. Dreyer’s DKI cleans soot off steel structures, helping return your property to its functional and safe state.
Wood
Wood is one of the most vulnerable structures when dealing with fire and smoke damage. Our team uses several methods to remove soot and char from wood. Methods may include chemical treatments, sanding, or soda blasting. We take extra steps to remove residues from untreated wood to prevent damaging the natural grain.
Drywall
Drywall requires special consideration due to its vulnerable nature to fire damage and moisture. Dreyer’s DKI uses effective drying methods to remove stains, soot, and odors within the drywall.
Plaster
Absorption of smoke-related odors in plaster ceilings and walls can lead to cracking in the event of significant heat levels. Dreyer’s DKI can scrub contaminants off plaster surfaces. Depending on the severity, plaster may need to be removed, replaced, or refinished to restore structural integrity.
Flooring
With the various types of flooring found across northeast Florida properties, it’s important to turn to a company that can handle them all. Whether it’s carpet, tile, laminate, vinyl, cork, hardwood, or more, Dreyer’s DKI has the proper cleaning solutions and technology to deal with any of them. By choosing our team of experienced professionals, you can rest assured your property’s flooring will be taken care of–even in the event of repairs or replacement.
Ceiling
Ceilings are made with a variety of materials—and they all have their own challenges. Our team of experts will thoroughly assess the presence of residues on your property’s ceiling materials and carve out the best path forward.
Structural Drying
While the process of structural drying is used more in the event of water damage, Dreyer’s DKI may turn to this service in the event of excess moisture. Structural drying is a service focused on removing moisture from building materials and structural components and further minimizing the risk of mold growth.
Mold Remediation
Mold can begin to grow as early as 24 hours after water-related damage. The presence of mold poses a health concern for all occupants and should be cleaned up before it can spread. If mold growth becomes an issue at your property, choose Dreyer’s DKI. Our mold remediation services include powerful methods to successfully remove and prevent further growth of mold.
Importance of After-Fire Cleaning Services
After-fire cleaning services are of the utmost importance for property owners. These services are intended to mitigate health hazards for safety. After-fire cleaning services remove harmful contaminants and eliminate or minimize the presence of toxic substances. This significantly reduces health problems related to post-fire contaminants.
