Industrial Fire Damage Cleaning & Odor Removal with Dry Ice Blasting
After a fire in an industrial or commercial facility, you need the fastest, most effective fire damage restoration process possible. More importantly, you need a cleanup method that gets you back into production without adding any more water, using harsh chemicals, or causing further unnecessary damage.
CT Service Systems uses dry ice blasting as a non-destructive, residue-free solution for fire damage clean-up. Our process removes char, carbon buildup, and smoke odor from surfaces without adding to the damage or interrupting sensitive systems. With the power of dry ice cleaning, we can help you handle structural damage, damaged equipment, or odor removal challenges safely and efficiently.
What Makes Dry Ice Blasting Ideal for Fire Damage Clean-Up?
Dry ice blasting uses frozen CO₂ pellets and compressed air to remove surface contaminants without moisture or abrasion. When the pellets strike, they instantly sublimate—turning from solid to gas—lifting away smoke damage, soot, char, and odor from affected surfaces. This makes it ideal for commercial fire damage scenarios.
This cleaning solution eliminates the need for chemical cleaning agents and allows our crews to safely clean ceilings, walls, beams, and equipment without damaging wiring, electronics, or coated surfaces. As part of a comprehensive post-fire cleaning process, dry ice blasting streamlines recovery, limits property damage, and sets the stage for long-term fire damage repairs.
Here are some of the benefits of dry ice blasting for fire and smoke damage restoration:

Frequently Asked Questions About Post-Fire Cleaning
Post-fire environments are unpredictable. Here are answers to the most common questions we hear from contractors and industrial clients.
No—we are not a general restoration contractor. Our focus is on fire damage cleaning, specifically dry ice blasting. We do not offer demolition, water extraction, or rebuilding services.
That said, we work alongside many restoration companies, contractors, and insurance adjusters who rely on us as their go-to cleaning partner for smoke, soot, and residue removal in commercial and industrial environments. Our role supports the broader fire damage restoration process by preparing surfaces for repair, painting, or reconstruction.
Fire cleanup typically begins with assessing the damage, clearing debris, and stabilizing the structure. The next step is to remove soot, char, and contaminants from all affected areas. This is crucial before any fire damage repairs or rebuilding can begin.
We use dry ice blasting to handle this phase. It’s one of the few cleaning processes that doesn’t introduce water, chemicals, or abrasion—making it ideal for restoring materials that have been damaged by fire without creating new risks. Our team targets structural surfaces, mechanical systems, and work areas to get your facility restoration-ready.
Yes. Smoke odor is often trapped in porous materials like concrete, wood, and insulation. Dry ice blasting lifts away the embedded soot and smoke residue, providing true odor removal instead of simply masking the smell.
Unlike chemical cleaning products or deodorizers, this process gets to the source. It’s part of why our cleaning solutions are trusted by facilities dealing with serious industrial or commercial fire damage.
Yes, in many cases. Insurance companies and restoration contractors increasingly recommend dry ice blasting because it’s effective, non-destructive, and cost-efficient. It reduces labor, eliminates chemical runoff, and often shortens the restoration timeline—factors that can make your insurance claim more straightforward.
We regularly work with adjusters and can provide estimates, job documentation, and technical support to justify the use of dry ice cleaning. If fire extinguishers were used and left residue, or if machinery needs special cleaning, we can address those situations, too.
Yes. Our cleaning crews are trained in OSHA-compliant practices, including proper PPE, ventilation, containment, and hazard mitigation. Dry ice blasting produces no secondary waste, no hazardous fumes, and no airborne silica—making it safer for your team and the surrounding work environment.
We follow strict safety protocols on every job and work within your industrial or commercial property’s compliance standards to help keep your site audit-ready. Our crews are trained to work in active industrial environments and meet all jobsite safety requirements.
