The first step to resolving fire damage is calling your local trained professionals at SERVPRO of Marlboro/Concord.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Is a Cornerstone of SERVPRO Services

Practically all fire events are destructive, leaving homeowners with ravaged homes and destroyed belongings. While a blaze can ruin a broad range of possessions, it's also possible to keep the contents of your home out of the trash heap. 

If you're a Concord homeowner dealing with fire damage, you probably think that many of your possessions are a lost cause. However, when you call SERVPRO of Marlboro/Concord, we'll work to restore your belongings and save you money. Here's how we salvage various items, even those affected by fire damage. 

Electronics and Appliances 

It's not just flames that can destroy electronics and appliances. Still, the soot and smoke left over after a fire emergency has ended. Soot and smoke can erode metals and finishes, wreck circuitry, and make appliances and electronic devices malfunction. Our SERVPRO technicians will carefully assess your electronics to see if they can be salvaged and then rid them of damaging soot deposits. This cleaning is only done to the exterior covers. For actual electronic repair work, we can refer you to a competent partner.

Books and Documents 

Even if flames didn't directly contact your paper documents and books, smoke could leave them with markings and odors that stick. We have industry-leading tools that can restore paper of all types, even collectibles. The method that we use will depend upon how fragile the document or book is -- the sooner you call SERVPRO after fire damage has occurred, the greater the chances that we can salvage delicate items. 

Rugs, Carpet, and Furnishings 

Though it may be ruined by water from fighting the fire or smoke and soot, don't automatically assume that your area rugs and carpet will have to be thrown out. Though we may need to replace your carpet pads, we're usually able to clean, deodorize, and restore a wide variety of rugs and carpet types. We can eliminate many odors by placing hydroxyl generators to purge the air of odor-causing particulates as we go about our tasks of fire damage restoration.

At SERVPRO of Marlboro/Concord, we're well equipped to help get your home and possessions back in good shape after any fire emergency. Call us 24/7 at (978) 486-9868, and we can assess the damage and offer professional services.
