Soda Blasting and Fire Restoration

A house fire is traumatic to everyone involved as it damages property, destroys mementos and leaves you with high anxiety and headaches.  Even when insurance helps to rebuild the structure and replace furniture, appliances and clothing, you’re left to wonder how all the mess will ever get removed. mould

When the building’s exterior is burned leaving behind sooty bricks or wood exterior, you’ll need a solution that cleans the soot and deodorises the area.  If the fire damage is not taken care of quickly, the problem can quickly be compounded to include mould damage.  Soda Tec works side-by-side with fire restoration companies ensuring the fastest cleanup possible for fire damaged building exteriors, window glass, and sidewalks.  We can provide you with a quote for exterior fire restoration services within 24 hours.

One of the major issues involving a house fire is the soot and ash left behind staining and discolouring any all surfaces.  The longer the sooty residue from the smoke remains, the more difficult the stain and odour is to remove. If the fire was extensive, and water was used to put it out, there is also a risk of water saturation causing mold growth.

One of the benefits of using soda blasting for fire restoration is that it is very gentle on all surfaces.  Unlike sandblasting, the Soda Tec solution quickly removes stains and deodorises the damaged structure.  We do the post-cleanup, too, leaving behind the brick or wood exterior cleaned and looking as if it was brand new.

If you are a cleaning and fire restoration company seeking a partner to provide timely and reliable soda blasting for structural cleanup, give us a call at 0407 070 464 and let’s discuss how we can add value to your services.

Graffiti Removal Success Story – Sydney’s Monorail

We often receive calls from local business owners and even from the manager at Sydney’s Transportation Department to help them with graffiti removal.  There is nothing more infuriating than to have crude messages spray painted one’s property.  In fact, Sydney’s Monorail system had to take one of their cars offline because they didn’t want to display the vandal’s artwork.   Check out how well our soda blasting removed the graffiti off that car.

You can imagine how happy that manager was when he learned that we could get graffiti paint off without destroying the underlying painted advertisement.  Using a sand blaster for graffiti removal would certainly have done the job, but it also would have destroyed the advertisement. Getting that Monorail’s car repainted would have been an additional expense the city incurred.  Using Soda Tec soda blasting system meant saving that expense from the county coffers.

When you need paint removed as in automobile restoration or graffiti removal, but need to do so without damaging the main structure, soda blasting is an ideal solution.  If you use traditional forms of paint strippers for automobile restoration, you know it’s a chemical nightmarish mess.  Sand blasting can damage the auto’s body.

Soda blasting offers a cleaner and safer method for removing paint and graffiti.  Soda blasting will remove the paint preparing the car’s exterior for a new paint job.   Our proprietary system is used for graffiti removal, but we also use the same technology to strip paint off cars.

You may be wondering how you can use soda blasting in your business.  Chances are we can help you out.   Give us a call today for graffiti removal or other soda blasting services in Sydney, NSW and surrounding communities. Call 0407 070 464.

Soda Blasting Makes Short Work of Cleaning Antifoul

Have you got a sailing vessel?  How about a fishing trawler or pleasure yacht?  If you own or are responsible for any of these ocean going vessels, chances are the boat has a cruddy layer of algae or other organisms collected on the hull.   Cleaning the hull of a fishing boat isn’t a chore one looks forward to, but the good news is that soda blasting makes short work of cleaning the hull saving you time, mess and a backache.

The hulls of sailing vessels at sea or docked in the water are subjected to all kinds of fouling from slime growth fed by algae, animals and even waste products left behind from engines, fishing boats, and even human stuff dumped from lavatories.  Without some form of protection, yacht hulls can become badly fouled within a matter of just a few weeks.  This is when using an antifoul product helps to protect the ship’s exterior.

If you want to protect your boat from the harmful effects of fouling and increase efficiency, then using antifouling is vitally important.  Antifouling paint is a specialised coating applied to the hull of a ship or boat that slows the growth of all the crud that clings to the bottom of your boat.   When you are dragging a layer of crud on the hull, it affects the vessel’s performance, but it can also lead to costly repairs.  Wood-boring animal that collects on the hull bore holes into anything that is made of wood.

In the 1800’s, antifouling was accomplished by applying a sheet of copper or Muntz metal to the hull to prevent the growth of barnacles.  Today, there are antifouling paints which impede the growth of marine organisms.  It’s no small task applying these paints as the ship must be dry-docked taking it out of commission.

The challenge then becomes how to clean the hull without destroying this protective coating.  Soda blasting is highly effective at removing unwanted products from the exterior of your boat without destroying the antifoul.    Soda blasting is used to remove bilge oil film from the hull without destroying this paint.  If you are restoring a boat and need to clean the hull, soda blasting will also remove varnishes and expose soft points in the fibreglass or timber.

Not sure if soda blasting will work for your situation?  Give us a call and let’s discuss your project.  The best question is always the one you ask!  Give us a call at 0407 070 464 today.
