When Your Belongings Are Damaged by Mold

1/25/2019 (Permalink)

Documents and photos are among the important water- and mold-damaged possessions SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield can restore.

Water and mold damage can affect not only the structure of your house but also your belongings. SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield understands that mold damage to your family’s furniture, clothing, keepsakes and other belongings needs to be restored just as thoroughly as your home’s structure.

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield specializes in restoring contents damaged by fire, water or mold. Our “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes. We first test your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their pre-damaged condition. We use several methods to clean your possessions, including:

• Dry cleaning: used to clean light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
• Wet cleaning: effective for removing moderate to heavy residues.
• Spray and wipe: 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.

Water- and mold-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard–do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by water! Your electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield electronics technician. Among the electronic devices we restore are:

• Television sets

• Air drying

• Vacuum thermal drying
