Restoring Your Contents After A Fire
Replacement or refinishing of your home contents is costly, which could increase your insurance rates when you claim. Especially, in cases where the fire is caused by you. Contents damaged in a house fire can often be restored to their former glory with the right training, products and cleaning techniques, offering an excellent alternative to large insurance claims as well as preserving those sentimental items.
Personal contents that have experienced fire damage in Marco Island properties could benefit from restoration services. At SERVPRO we have a laundry list of potential techniques, equipment and methods to suit all kinds of materials, furnishings, and fabrics. If your contents hold sentimental value, it is worth contacting us to see what we can salvage.
Our years of expertise in the restoration industry has taught us to treat each service as unique. Different materials burn in different ways. The same goes for temperatures as well as indoor air circulation which all have an impact on the type of debris left behind and, therefore, the most effective cleaning products to use. In most cases, contents cleaning can be carried out on site, but we may need to take some contents to a facility to be deep cleaned.
When we visit your property, a SERVPRO fire technician can assess which types of materials respond best to different cleaning methods and products. Upholstery fabrics, for example, can shrink when treated with traditional wet-cleaning methods. For these porous or delicate materials, we can use foam cleaning to gently remove soot and smoke residue from the surface.
When synthetic materials burn at higher temperatures, it leaves behind thick smoke residue known as wet smoke. Where signs of wet smoke are evident, your SERVPRO technician may use abrasive cleaning methods to remove soiling from your contents. We can always tell which contents respond well to which cleaning without risking causing further damage.
Since our founding in 1967, we have saved thousands of dollars worth of damage by adopting a restore over replace method. If your contents have been damaged contact SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island at (239) 302-5700 to see what you could save.
