Can dry ice clean soot off structural timber after a fire?
Yes — IICRC S540 physical-removal step. Saves the timber.
Verdict
Yes
IICRC S540-aligned; saves timber that would otherwise be replaced.
The detailed answer
Post-fire soot on structural timber is removed by dry ice without sanding dust, water saturation or chemical residue. The substrate remains intact; only the soot layer is lifted. Charred timber is flagged for replacement; surface-soot timber is saved. Per-zone documentation produced for adjuster + hygienist sign-off. Smoke odour treatment (ozone or hydroxyl) is a separate optional follow-up step where odour persists after physical removal.
