The Fire and Smoke Standard
What Is IICRC S700 Fire Damage Restoration?
Fire damage restoration is the ANSI/IICRC S700 documented process of stabilizing a fire-damaged building, classifying the smoke residue, and cleaning it off every affected surface, the contents, and the HVAC system. Residue type decides method. Dry smoke, wet smoke, protein and fuel oil each clean differently, and soot is acidic, so it keeps corroding metal, electronics and finishes until it is removed. Cleaning is followed by source deodorization, HEPA filtration, and verification that the odor is gone rather than covered.
In Somers, CT, the order is fixed. The fire department releases the scene, then the building is secured and boarded. Water from the suppression effort is extracted and dried first, because soot pressed into wet material sets, and wet cellulose grows mold within days. Residue is typed, then structure and contents are cleaned separately, contents off site where needed. Deodorization runs last, at the source, with the assembly open. Every stage is documented for the carrier.

- Residue typed before cleaning
- HEPA filtration throughout
- Odor treated at the source
State Compliance
Why Somers Fire Jobs Run IICRC S700
Connecticut fire work is scoped against ANSI/IICRC S700. The local fire marshal holds the scene until the cause and origin investigation releases it. The cleaning phase is restoration work; the structural repair that follows is home improvement work under Connecticut law, which requires a registered contractor, a written contract, and a permit from the local building department.
Green Restoration works to ANSI/IICRC S700: stabilize first, type the residue before choosing a cleaning method, run HEPA filtration throughout, and treat odor at the source. Ozone deodorization runs only in an empty structure, because no federal agency has approved ozone generators for use in occupied space.

Kitchen Fire Damage
Kitchen Fire, Cleaned And Restored
Local Note
In Somers, a grease fire in a pre-war tobacco-farm kitchen chars the wood cabinets and leaves a heavy greasy soot film.
The Situation
Most home fires start in the kitchen, where a grease or stovetop flare can scorch cabinets, melt fixtures, and drive greasy soot across the ceiling and into adjoining rooms. The residue is acidic, so it keeps etching metal, stone, and finishes for as long as it sits.
How We Restore It
Our IICRC S700 crews stabilize the scene, remove unsalvageable material, and clean structural surfaces with the right method for each soot type, dry sponge, solvent, or abrasive, before sealing odor-bearing surfaces. Contents are inventoried and either cleaned on site or packed out for off-site restoration.
Restored To Standard
Surfaces are cleaned to a documented standard and deodorized so the kitchen does not carry a lingering burnt odor. Every line of scope, photo, and cleaning record is documented for your insurer so the claim moves on evidence.

Understanding The Risk
What Untreated Fire Damage Costs Your Somers Home
The first 72 hours after a Somers fire settle what can be saved. Soot, hose water, and smoke odor keep working on tobacco-farm and Colonial framing until an IICRC S700 crew pulls the soot at its source with soda blasting.
Soot Etches Somers Finishes In 72 Hours
Acidic Residue Attacks Stone And Metal Fast
Acidic soot pits glass, marble, brass, and stainless inside 72 hours. Let it sit in a Somers tobacco-farm home or historic Colonial and salvageable finishes become write-offs before the adjuster arrives.
Smoke Travels Through Somers HVAC And Walls
Hidden Spread Beyond The Fire Room
One room burning on the Route 190 village corridor or Springfield Road drives smoke through wall cavities and shared HVAC trunks in minutes. Skip containment and rooms the flames never reached load up with soot.
Somers Puff Back Hits Oil Heat Stock Hard
Farmhouse And Colonial Stock Runs Oil Burners
Many Somers farmhouses and Colonials run oil heat. One ignition failure blows oily soot from every register in Somers Center and Mountain Spring. Mechanical room, ducts, and upper floors all need IICRC S700 work before the film bonds to plaster.
Suppression Water Causes Secondary Mold
Mold Colonizes In 48 Hours Unsealed
Hose water soaks drywall, subfloors, and insulation, and the Scantic River watershed restricts site disposal at rural properties. Miss the IICRC S500 and WRT drying window at 48 hours and mold takes hold. AMRT-led soda blasting on the dried framing keeps live spores from being sealed under fresh sheetrock.
Chimney Puff Back Bonds Creosote To Masonry
Flue Downdraft Or Liner Failure
A blocked flue or failed liner sends a chimney puff back through the firebox. Creosote-bonded soot etches brick and stone hearths within days. Without soda blasting and a licensed CT sweep liner inspection, the next fire can restart in the chase wall, common in older Soapstone Mountain stock.
No Utility Power Stalls Drying And Cleanup
Eversource Service Cut At The Meter
Somers Fire Department often pulls the meter, and Eversource re-energization runs days to weeks. With no site generators, drying and odor work stops. Our trucks roll with diesel and propane gensets so it never pauses.
Local Expertise
Why Somers Properties Need Professional Fire Restoration
Somers runs from pre-war tobacco-farm colonials to Somers Center historic homes and ridge stock along the Scantic River valley and Soapstone Mountain, framing that traps soot where surface wiping cannot reach. Soda blasting under IICRC S700, led by an IICRC-certified owner, is the durable fix.

Soda Blasting Soot Removal
How Soda Blasting Removes Fire Soot Without Damaging Surfaces
Soda blasting decides whether a cleaned Somers property stays clean or smells like smoke by fall. Tobacco-farm and Colonial framing and Somers masonry pull soot into the substrate, past where sanding reaches. Our IICRC S700 crews keep sodium bicarbonate blasting on staff for every fire job that needs the soot pulled off structural surfaces, with AMRT-led mold prevention in parallel.
Media
Sodium Bicarbonate, Mohs 2.5
Pharmaceutical-grade baking soda. Softer than wood (Mohs 4) and original lath, harder than soot bond layer. Friable on impact, shatters into dust on contact with the substrate rather than embedding into grain or finish.
Standard
IICRC S700 + S520 Aligned
IICRC S700 fire protocol and S520 mold protocol both list abrasive blasting as a recognized source-removal method for porous structural wood, charred framing, joists, and sheathing where wire brushing leaves residue.
Safety
FDA GRAS, Silica-Free
Same compound used in food and pharmaceuticals. No crystalline silica, no toxic residue, no respirable lung hazard beyond standard PPE. Non-sparking and non-flammable on partially-cleared fire scenes.
Why Soda Blasting Beats Sanding And Wire Brushing
In Somers, the post-and-beam framing and plaster lath of farmhouse and Colonial stock hold soot differently than modern kiln-dried lumber, so media choice matters. Wire brushing leaves a carbon film that returns as odor; sanding drives soot deeper and throws dust into clean rooms. Soda blasting shatters soot on contact without cutting the wood, and the water-soluble residue HEPA-vacs up in one pass.
Where We Use Soda Blasting In Somers Fire Jobs
Three substrates draw soda blasting on a Somers job: charred framing and joists, brick or stone chimneys with creosote-bonded soot, and sheathing behind blown-out drywall where a stain-blocker alone will not hold the odor. Plaster gets IICRC S700 dry-sponge cleaning first, then a test patch decides blasting versus repaint. Our IICRC AMRT and WRT certified owner signs off on every blast scope.
Residue Cleanup And Post-Blast Encapsulation
Sodium bicarbonate residue is water-soluble and FDA GRAS, so cleanup is a HEPA vacuum, a damp microfiber wipe, and a final pass of EPA-registered antimicrobial under IICRC AMRT protocol for exposed mold spores. Cleaned framing is logged back under 16 percent moisture before new sheathing goes up, the line between a clean rebuild and a callback in the Scantic valley.
Soda Blasting Decision Tree
- • Charred wood framing, joists, sheathing: yes
- • Stone, brick, masonry chimneys with creosote or puff back: yes
- • Plaster walls with surface soot, no structural char: HEPA dry sponge, then test patch before soda blast
- • Drywall with deep smoke saturation: replace and prime new substrate; soda blast adjacent structural cavity
- • Soft goods, upholstery, electronics: pack-out for ozone and hydroxyl, never blasted

Expert Answers
Somers Fire And Smoke Damage FAQs
Clear, honest answers about emergency fire response, soda blasting, IICRC certifications, and insurance coverage in Somers, CT.
Our IICRC S700 certified crews dispatch across Hartford-Tolland County and typically reach most Somers neighborhoods within 45 to 60 minutes, day or night. Our owner leads the on-site walk personally when the scope warrants. Call (860) 222-9498 any time.
Sodium bicarbonate rates Mohs 2.5, softer than wood, plaster, or lath, so each grain fractures into water-soluble dust on impact instead of embedding. Across the post-and-beam framing of Somers farmhouse and Colonial stock it lifts the carbon skin wire brushing leaves, and the pH-neutralizing chemistry cancels acidic soot odor at the source in one pass.
A contained single-room smoke job starts near $3,500. Whole-home losses adding soda blasting on framing, HVAC decontamination, contents pack-out, and reconstruction reach $80,000 or more. Ranges come from jobs we have run across Hartford County and the Capitol Region. You get a written IICRC S700 scope on site after thermal imaging and soot density mapping, with the owner present on any scope above $25,000.
Connecticut homeowner policies cover fire damage at replacement cost in Somers, subject to your terms and deductible. We submit IICRC S700 documentation, soda blasting protocol records, and contents inventory directly to your carrier. We are not licensed public adjusters and do not negotiate claims on your behalf, but we provide the scope documentation your adjuster requires.
Our owner is personally IICRC certified in two disciplines that apply directly to Somers fire restoration: WRT (Water Restoration Technician for suppression water) and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician for secondary mold). Green Restoration is also an IICRC Certified Firm. CT HIC.0668405 is issued under the company.
Figure 5 to 10 days for a contained kitchen fire in a Somers Cape or Colonial, 10 to 21 days once smoke has run through plaster and oil furnace puff back, and 30 to 90 days for a whole-home rebuild with soda blasting, reconstruction, and Somers permits. Soot density, suppression water, and rebuild scope set the clock.
Yes, scoped separately. Oil furnace puff back means mechanical room decontamination, NADCA-aligned supply duct work, soft-goods laundering, hydroxyl deodorization, and sign-off from a licensed CT oil burner technician. Chimney puff back means soda blasting the masonry, firebox and damper service, a flue liner inspection through a licensed CT chimney sweep, and HVAC riser decontamination where the flue shares a chase. Both close with full IICRC S700 documentation.
Somers Fire Department often pulls the meter and Eversource re-energization runs days to weeks. Our trucks roll with diesel and propane generators so dehumidifiers, HEPA scrubbers, and hydroxyl machines run around the clock. Generator power keeps the IICRC S500 drying clock under 48 hours, the difference between a fire loss and a fire-plus-mold loss.
Green Restoration is IICRC S700 certified with an IICRC WRT and AMRT certified owner-operator, serves Hartford-Tolland County, and is the only Connecticut crew running soda blasting in-house to pull fire soot off framing and masonry. HEPA scrubbers, hydroxyl generators, and Econoline blast pots ride on every Somers response. Direct insurance billing, 60-minute dispatch, and 24/7 availability at (860) 222-9498 mean one call.
Yes. Our IICRC S700 contents pack-out includes inventoried, climate-controlled storage of your salvageable belongings while your Somers property is restored. We photograph and barcode every item, clean and deodorize soft goods, electronics, artwork, and upholstery off-site, then hold them in a secure humidity-controlled facility until reconstruction is complete and we pack them back. Pack-out, storage, and pack-back are all documented for your insurer as part of the claim. Call (860) 222-9498 to schedule a Somers contents inventory.
