You can trust that your home is in good hands with the experienced technicians at SERVPRO.

We Take Care of Your Fire-Damaged Contents and Belongings with On-site and Off-Site Recovery Solutions. 

Fires can be destructive to your possessions but do not always cause irreparable harm immediately. Prolonged exposures to lingering effects can ruin your belongings, and that is why our SERVPRO team works quickly to protect these items with on-site and off-site recovery solutions.

Content management is one of the vital elements to recovering fire damage in Milton homes. Disasters can engulf entire rooms or regions of the house, so identifying the effect on each item ensures that the appropriate steps get taken to make losses “Like it never even happened.”

What Can Be Done in My House to Protect My Belongings? 

After a fire loss incident, our professionals take to the intricate evaluation of affected materials and contents to determine what steps must get taken to restore them. Protecting your belongings is more than saving you money but ensuring that your return to your house is as welcoming as it was before the fire. There are three primary areas of focus, including:

• Surface Cleaning  

Soot and other residues can mar the surface of your belongings and furniture. Through on-site wipe cleaning with solvents to off-site submersion cleaning in our ultrasonic tanks, we can remove surface residues to restore the appearance of your possessions.

• Content Drying 

Extinguishing can lead to water damage to contents inside of the house in these affected areas. Drying, both on and off-site, can help to prevent secondary effects like deterioration or mold growth.

• Deodorization

Odors can be one of the most troublesome hurdles for our technicians to overcome, as many scents can become embedded in the materials themselves. Gaseous deodorization produced by ozone generators or thermal foggers can help.

How damaged contents in your home get recovered is not a one-size-fits-all situation. We have skilled technicians that can help to make real-time restoration decisions for your possessions after a destructive fire.
