Cleaning and Restoration...
Personal Property
It may seem that as long as the fire is out, the
damage is done, but that is simply not true. Moisture from the air
combines with smoke to make an acid moisture that over time can
weaken the fibers of upholstered furniture and materials as well
as leave etchings on the surfaces of wood, metal and plastic. Thus
it is imperative to act as quickly as possible to mitigate the existing
damage and prevent secondary damage.
California Emergency Services relies
on a number of time-proven methods to take care of cleaning/restoring
all of your personal property including: all furniture, electronics,
china, crystal, dishes, books, pictures, keepsakes, clothing and
most items found in a typical household.
CES restores and deodorizes all personal property
adhering to the recommended cleaning methods for each individual
item. Special attention is paid to each and every item to ensure
that it is restored to its pre-disaster condition or as close as
possible. All items are then inspected by a supervisor and are ready
for your use.
When addressing smoke damage, CES relies
on a citrus degreaser that cuts through the smoke to restore items
to their pre-disaster condition. In the event that items are contaminated
from water or sewage, we utilize a decontaminating detergent to
remove any contaminants. We also use specialty sponges, which are
a great cleaning technique for items that cannot get wet such as
books and important papers. Wood soaps, paste waxes and oils are
used for wood furnishings. Steam-cleaning is relied on for upholstered
items. Other cleaning solutions are also utilized such as glass
cleaners, dish detergents, silver and metal cleaners as well as
many others.
We also employ the services of a fabric restoration
company to take care of all clothing and fabric items as well as
a specialty electronic company to address all electronic components
(including disconnecting and reconnecting them if necessary).
The Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration
Certification (IICRC) certifies California Emergency Services in
the area of Fire and Smoke Restoration.
