Your home's electrical wiring may be damaged or installed poorly and end up causing a fire in your living room. Any kind of house fire, however small, can cause severe damage to your Reading home and ruin your possessions, especially the things close to the source of the fire.

SERVPRO technicians are experienced and use professional methods during fire damage restoration in your Reading home to clean and restore contents to preloss conditions. Flames are just a fraction of the problem that fire can cause. Smoke, soot, debris, and the water used to put out the fire can cause damage to the house itself and items like the couch, carpet, curtains, and your precious décor pieces. Your home and most of your belongings can be salvaged by acting quickly. Restoring your possessions is not an easy task. Basic cleaning principles are undertaken by experts while performing restoration:

• Locating smoke residues by carefully examining the affected area
• Identifying the type of residues and surface
• Removing and disposing of the residue

Why It Is Important to Hire Fire Restoration Experts

Assessing the damage is an important step during restoration. Our team performs a thorough inspection and uses specific cleaning methods and solutions based on the items and the level of damage sustained. By scouring the home, we can find out where the problem lies and whether it affects contents like appliances or structural materials like drywall, ceilings, and floors. 

Various Methods to Help Restore Content

• Wet cleaning
• Dry cleaning
• Abrasive cleaning

To formulate an effective cleaning method for drapery and upholstery, our SERVPRO technicians identify the type of fabric and the level of smoke residue. We pre-clean dry soils on smoke-damaged upholstery, mitigating residue absorption into the fibers. Oily soot can stain items. We may use a heavy-duty vacuum or apply dry solvents to clean the items at moderate soot levels.
