BLUE MOON CLEANING
RESTORES MUSIC-MAKING
October 21, 2024
Recently, LA-based Blue Moon Cleaning was contacted by a guitar-maker after suffering a sizeable warehouse fire. The fire started afterhours with a battery stored inside their production plant.
Fortunately, someone saw the smoke outside and called the LA Fire Department. Fire crews arrived quickly and went to work breaking locks, saw cutting iron gates, and making their way toward the fire. Once inside, fire crews punched large holes into the ceiling to relieve smoke and pressure from the building. Everything was doused with water and chemical fire suppressant - guitar parts, tools, everything. The guitar factory was rendered completely untenable, and guitar-making came to a screeching halt.
Thanks to the quick work of the LAFD, the building's structure was saved. But the contents were soaked and covered with ash and soot. The fire caused a major business disruption as company resources had to be diverted away from guitar-making and towards clean-up, repair, and restoration.
Soot and ash are very toxic and corrosive. Prolonged contact with wood, metal, or plastics can cause irreversible damage. So, it was critical that the guitar-maker act quickly to safeguard its employees and contents by ensuring cleanup and repairs were done expeditiously and done right.
Blue Moon Cleaning was hired to handle the cleanup and restoration. The LA-based cleaning company is IICRC-certified in restoring properties damaged by fire and smoke. So Blue Moon knew exactly what to do.
The company dispatched experienced technicians who went to work removing ash and soot from inside the structure. Walls, ceilings, and trusses were scrubbed with neutralizing agents. Floors were steam cleaned, and the air inside the plant was treated using specialized air scrubbers and odor removers. After cleanup, Blue Moon replaced missing ceiling and hauled away dangerous debris.
Blue Moon restored this client's ability to focus on doing what they do best: making music through amazing guitars. The next time you experience water or fire damage, or simply need a cleanup, call Blue Moon Cleaning to get your show back on the road.
