SERVPRO Smoke and Odor Restoration Can Help your Home
Some property fires can cause extensive damage to personal belongings. Heavily soiled and odorous items often require cleaning at a separate facility. An initial inspection of losses determines this packing-out procedure. It can have the added benefit of allowing technicians to correct structural smoke damage without working around contents on-site.
Items packed out during fire restoration of your Concord home are stored at a climate-controlled warehouse. When goods are packed, they are inventoried digitally, noting their condition and place in your home. At SERVPRO, we ensure any belongings transported out of the property are thoroughly vetted for potential vermin or pests to guarantee that our storage facilities remain sanitary for all our homeowners. At a warehouse, we can use mechanical suspension washing for textiles to remove 99% of soils from fabric. We can also use advanced odor control methods such as ozone generators, which may be unsafe to use in a home with occupants or pets. Our services encompass:
- Contents cleaning
- Fire restoration
- Smoke odor control
The restoration of possessions first involves transporting dirty items from the warehouse and into a cleaning room. Technicians match objects to the digital inventory as they are unpacked. We can clean each item, deodorize to remove malodor, and perform restoration by following the designated procedures. Generally, restoration is reserved for ornaments of high value or furniture that may need to be refinished following extensive smoke impact. When repacking items, we use clean boxes and refer to our inventory to ensure that they are returned to the same place in your home, which allows you to return "Like it never even happened."
- Dishes are repacked in a news sheet or bubble wrap to ensure that they are not damaged during transport.
- If items require specialty cleanings such as artwork restoration or document recovery, our team can use the inventory to send items to relevant restoration services.
- Cleaned items are stored separately from dirty items to reduce the chances of cross-contamination in warehouses.
