Strip soot from timber, masonry and contents without sanding, sandblasting or chemical washing. Serving Hobart, Kingston, Sandy Bay, Glenorchy and surrounds.
Fire & Smoke Damage for Hobart customers
After a fire, timber framing, masonry walls and salvageable contents are coated in oily soot that physically penetrates surface grain. Sanding generates contaminated dust; pressure washing soaks already-fragile materials; chemical degreasers smear soot rather than removing it and leave a film that yellows over time. Dry ice blasting lifts soot off porous and sensitive surfaces without saturation, dust, or chemical residue — ideal for restoration where the substrate must be saved.
For customers across Hobart — from Hobart, Kingston, Sandy Bay to Glenorchy — we operate as the Tasmania arm of the wider Dry Ice Blasters network. Fire & Smoke Damage is one of the most-requested services in this region.
