Cleaning Wooden Furniture and Fittings Affected By Fire Damage Incidents in Belleville

Fire incidents affect wooden items the most since aspects of combustion such as flames, heat, and smoke are detrimental to such things. After identifying the unsalvageable items, there is a need to take remedial action, such as cleaning the salvageable ones. Professional fire restoration crews from SERVPRO rely on different steps to get the job done.

Wiping With Dry Cleaning Sponges

Residue deposit is one of the most prevalent forms of fire damage in affected Belleville properties. Removing such deposits from furniture items such as tables and chairs or fittings such as cabinets is crucial in restoring their preloss state. Extended exposure to soot can lead to stains or corrosion of metallic accessories such as handles or hinges. Our SERVPRO crews use dry cleaning sponges to wipe off residues without wetting the material.

Preventing Setting of Soot Deep Into the Material

While most of the residues are on the surface of the affected materials, they might penetrate deeper depending on the level of exposure to the fire. It is also possible to set the residues more buried into the content during the cleaning process, especially when dealing with massive deposits. Our SERVPRO technicians use denatured alcohol in such cases to remove residues without causing them to set.

Sanding the Parts Made of Unfinished Wood

Perhaps the most robust job when cleaning wood affected by fire damage is when dealing with predominantly unfinished wood. Typically, unfinished wood is common in the interior of fittings such as cabinets or structural supports such as frames. Our SERVPRO technicians sand such areas to remove all residues. Alternatively, we use soda blasting, which is equally effective in eliminating stubborn residues from unfinished wood. An additional advantage of soda blasting is that it does not damage the material and helps with deodorization.

Restoring wooden materials affected by the fire can reduce the cost of fire damage. Call SERVPRO of Nutley / Bloomfield at (973) 662-0062 to help run the process eliminating all traces of the damage, "Like it never even happened."
