SERVPRO Tackles Fire Damage in Your Santa Clarita Home
Fire damage can happen anywhere in the home for a multitude of reasons. While fires in the bedroom are less common than kitchen fires, they still happen due to lightning strikes, electronic device malfunctions, and unwatched candles. We use a multitude of treatments and approaches to handle the unique challenges posed by the furniture and belongings that may sustain fire damage in the bedroom of your home.
Mattresses
Restoring mattresses after fire damage in a Santa Clarita home may be harder than you would think. Due to the presence of both fabrics and metals in most mattresses, many of our standard cleaning techniques cannot be applied. Some mattresses may be composed of sensitive foam materials or contain electronic components. SERVPRO technicians are FSRT certified by the IICRC and approach each situation according to the demands of the material to avoid causing further damage.
We usually clean standard mattresses with some thorough wet scrubbing with one of our more high-powered cleaning agents. These cleaning techniques restore the function of the mattress and eliminate smoke odors, but we may not be able to restore its original appearance. More delicate materials, including memory foam, must often receive care via dry cleaning techniques that use waterless foam cleaning agents.
Dressers and Cabinets
Restoring wood furniture in the bedroom can be a process of varying difficulty, depending on the type of wood and any finishes applied to it. Typically, we first remove any drawers and dividers to clean them separately before hand-washing the interior and exterior of the dresser through water-based or waterless cleaning techniques as needed. Finally, we make sure that all components of the furniture are separated and exposed when we apply deodorizing treatments, ensuring that no smoke odors remain inside.
Upholstery
Our approach to restoring upholstery depends on the severity of the damage. Most situations allow us to vacuum up fire residues and absorb any remaining material with waterless solvents. More severe damages, such as when wet smoke coats your furniture, may require the use of high-power cleaning solutions to restore.
