Contents Restoration after Fire damage in Orlando
A fire in the home is more often than not contained relatively easily causing minor damage to the structure itself. However, the restoration of your contents can seem an arduous task, especially since different types of smoke damages require different cleaning methods to be effective. We use a range of proprietary methods to help restore rather than replace your contents after the initial impact of fire has been handled.
One of the critical aspects of our service is helping the community restore contents after fire damage in Orlando. Remediating is not only more cost-effective; it can also help homeowners who do not want to replace possessions they may have spent years accumulating. SERVPRO technicians are dedicated to getting your home, and its contents, back to preloss conditions without resorting to expensive replacements.
The types of material that burn in a fire have a significant influence on the damages caused as well as the best methods for cleaning them away. Synthetic materials, for example, burn at lower temperatures than natural ones. They also release different smoke residues, known as wet smoke, which can be spread around causing further damage if not recognized immediately.
SERVPRO technicians conduct a pre-test of all fire damaged materials first to avoid applying a one-size-fits-all method for restoration of contents. Usually, most surfaces respond well to a combination of wet, dry and 'spray & wipe' cleaning. However, this method is not comprehensively effective and may cause the dye in certain fabrics to run, shrink or for soiling to be absorbed beneath the surface.
Porous materials like upholsteries, mattresses, fabrics, and curtains can often become damp from water used during firefighting procedure. The moisture causes soots to set into the fabric, becoming stubborn and difficult to clean. SERVPRO use foam cleaning on these type of surface to help draw soiling out without soaking the material or causing it to shrink. Valuable contents like jewelry or precious metals can be sent to a facility for immersion cleaning using ultrasonic machines.
