Fire Damage
Everyone understands the destruction a fire can do. ServiceMaster By Gaudet understands the damage that can be done after the fire is out. Much of the material found in furniture, flooring, and appliances is synthetic. When burned, synthetics create a variety of complex chemical reactions. After a few days, these items go from cleanable to unsalvageable.
We at ServiceMaster By Gaudet are experts in understanding the chemical combinations that can effectively clean and salvage belongings. We can even remove soot from fabrics in upholstery, carpets, and clothes, thus helping to avoid additional expenses.
We use the latest equipment and supplies in our five step fire and smoke restoration process:
- Emergency Pre-cleaning
- Contents Cleaning
- Contens Pack-Out
- Wall & Ceiling Cleaning
- Deodorization
Emergency precleaning is essential in minimizing replacement costs. The attack of acidic soot residues resulting from fire, and the damaging effects of water to sensitive surfaces can be minimized if treated promptly. Delay can result in increased loss and less effective cleaning.
Contents cleaning is the restoration of all non-structural items, including furniture, lamps, art objects, etc. Most of these items are cleaned and restored on-site or in our local facility. Some items require highly specialized restoration techniques, such as electronic equipment, paintings, musical instruments and books of extreme value. ServiceMaster works to ensure safe and effective restoration of contents.
