SERVPRO can Provide Cleaning and Restoration Services in Salem

Once a fire ignites, it begins releasing partially combusted particles into the atmosphere. These particles can then travel throughout your structure and leave behind residues when contacting cooler surfaces.

When conducting fire restoration in Salem, our SERVPRO technicians put many efforts towards cleaning soot residues from your contents and building materials. Contents include your possessions and anything that is not permanently attached to your building. We can clean residues off of your contents using the following methods:

• Foam Cleaning: We can use foam as a cleaning agent when working with upholstery fabrics. This method works well when cleaning light residues on delicate materials.
• Abrasive Cleaning: In some situations, we can use a cleaning method to agitate the surface during cleaning. Abrasive methods work well when dealing with heavy residues on hard, non-porous surfaces.
• Immersion Cleaning: This technique works well for cleaning items that can be completely saturated with a chemical solution. Smaller items and other contents like Venetian blinds clean up well when soaked in Ultra Content Cleaner and hot water.

If your contents ever get coated by soot after a fire, call SERVPRO of Salem / Peabody / Marblehead at (978) 744-4545.
