We are here to help!

Phases of Post-Fire Content Cleaning 

Fires can be particularly destructive to your belongings and loose house contents. Even with the swift arrival of first responders to extinguish the blaze, fast action is necessary to protect and preserve these items that mean the most to your family. Post-fire cleaning for your possessions can be broken into various stages based on the required recovery. 

Relocating Damaged Contents 

Addressing the fire damage in Hyde Park properties impacting the contents begins with what SERVPRO professionals can immediately remedy with relocation. At-risk items can stay salvageable, clean, and odor-free with swift movement to undamaged areas of the house. 

On-Site Cleaning 

It is preferred to clean and restore items at the damaged site rather than transport them to our facility. The process involves a few specific steps:

• Item-by-Item Evaluation – We assess your belongings, furniture, and loose contents from the house for salvageability. When surface cleaning solutions can be effective, we evaluate the viability of on-site restoration. 

• Staging Area Relocation – A staging area creates a clean, dry, and smoke-free zone for surface cleaning and recovery close to the house.
• Cleaning Services – We have solvents and detergents that can work to separate soot and smoke soils from the surface of impacted contents. Loosened residues can be wiped clean, and the object restored. 

Off-Site Content Management 

When damage is too extensive for on-site cleaning, we can transport items to our nearby facility for focused cleaning. In addition, we have equipment like ultrasonic tanks and Esporta wash systems to handle delicate items from your household impacted by soot and smoke damage.

Fire damage can be overwhelming for your household, especially when your valuables and treasured belongings are caught in the destructive path. The fast response of SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Roslindale can help clean and restore these contents before irreparable harm results. Call (857) 399-9797.
