Safe, Gentle, and Effective with the Arctic Steamer

After wildfire season, many homeowners and businesses in Northern Nevada are left with a coating of fire retardant on their roof, siding, or exterior surfaces. While fire retardant helps protect homes in the moment, it can be tough to remove without damaging paint, shingles, or landscaping. That’s where East Fork Roofing’s Fire Retardant Removal Service comes in.

We use the Arctic Steamer—a rugged, mobile, and professional-grade solution designed specifically for safe and effective chemical residue removal.

Why Choose East Fork Roofing and the Arctic Steamer for Fire Retardant Removal?

  • High Temperatures + Low Pressure = Maximum Safety
    The Arctic Steamer produces optimal water temperatures up to 290°F, generating flash steam that melts away fire retardant gently—without the harsh impact of pressure washers or chemicals.
  • Safe on Shingles, Paint, and Siding
    Flash steam won’t strip paint from delicate surfaces like styrofoam or cause shingle damage, unlike hammers, chisels, or abrasive tools. It’s ideal for protecting your investment while restoring your home’s appearance.
  • No Harsh Chemicals or Salt
    Forget chlorine-based removers or harsh salt-based solutions. The Arctic Steamer uses clean, hot steam—no harmful additives, just professional-grade technology designed to be safe for homes, businesses, pets, and the environment.
  • Contractor Trusted
    With a durable, mobile setup and intuitive wand application, the Arctic Steamer delivers fast, consistent results that both our technicians and our customers love.
