How Do Smoke Residues Get Removed from Hard Surfaces?

In the care of our professionals at our warehouse, your personal belongings can receive thorough cleaning efforts. Using the appropriate equipment to address the immediate concerns can aid certain items with a pressing need for smoke residue removal. Soot can be a threatening presence on surfaces, making it critical to remove these particles adhered to contents as soon as possible. With hard surfaces and materials like ceramics or glass, the best approach for eliminating soot damage is the ultrasonic submersion tank. The technology behind this device is intricate, using vibration to generate millions of microscopic bubbles that explode 

Can Technicians Restore Fire-Damaged Fabrics and Soft Materials?

The ESPORTA Wash System is one of the advanced tools available to our technicians working to restore fire damaged contents in our SERVPRO facility. This machine can help to reduce the probability of permanent staining and odors. It is a gentler recovery option designed almost exclusively for softer materials like fabrics. Because soot and smoke residues can continue to be a threat for even these items in your house, it is crucial to have advanced technologies that can effectively and efficiently recover these possessions.

What Process Removes Odors from Your Belongings

Many practices can help with deodorization in your home after a fire loss incident, but recovering your contents affected by smoke and burning odors is a different obstacle. While many of these same tools can work in your house to neutralize odors trapped in specific materials, severely impacted items removed and sent to our facility require more direct odor elimination. Much like the recovery of your house, ozone generators can have a direct and efficient impact on neutralizing trapped scents and your personal belongings. Our chambers at the warehouse allow us to deodorize an entire room full of contents and items relocated from your house simultaneously. There are distinct advantages to choosing ozone chambers, despite the process being unsafe for living creatures directly exposed to while the chemical reaction takes place. Some of these include:

• Happens While Other Restorative Processes Continue 
• Addresses Multiple Contents Simultaneously
• Is Safe to Use on Many Types of Materials 

What Happens Until Restoration Completes?

Among the greatest apprehensions for homeowners relinquishing their responsibility for their personal belongings to our trusted certified professionals is what becomes of their possessions until restoration completes in the house. Often the restoration process is longer than the time it takes to restore and recover individual items in our care at the warehouse. It then becomes a situation where our careful and meticulous data collection and inventory solutions maintain a constant awareness of the location of your items and their current conditions. While you wait for in house mitigation and restoration to end, you can depend on our team to offer:
