Kitchen fires are the leading cause of fire damage in the U.S
9/1/2022 (Permalink)
Fires are not only devastating and destructive, but they leave behind harmful smoke and soot particles and, in most cases, water damage from the firefighting efforts. Not only does fire and smoke damage affect the structure of your home, but it also affects your personal belongings as well. Our focus is on Restoring vs replacing and you’d be surprised what we can clean and restore to preloss conditions.
Soot spreads fast and leaves behind a greasy residue that can be hard to clean all on your own. It is crucial to remove the residue and smoke odor with the appropriate techniques and solutions, otherwise the soot will just spread, and the odor will remain in the structure and in your belongings for years to come.
Our Mankato / Owatonna team specializes in restoring contents damaged by water, fire, or mold. Our expertise and “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. We pretest your belongings to determine what items we can restore to pre-fire condition, and we use several methods of cleaning your contents, including:
- Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
- Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
- Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
- Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
- Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
- Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.
We also provide onsite content claim inventory services for you and your insurance company. Our Contents Claim Inventory Services:
- Pre-loss list and value of contents
- Detailed and accurate reports
- Better information to settle claims quicker
- Assistance with burden of proof for claims
- Organized list of what is salvageable and “in worse cases” what is not
