For Delicate or Sooty Fire Damaged Belongings from Your Gaithersburg Home, SERVPRO Provides Ultrasonic Cleaning Solutions

How Does Ultrasonic Cleaning Work for Gaithersburg Fire Damaged Contents?

With almost countless tools designed to address specific effects of fire loss incidents in Gaithersburg homes, professional restorers now have a more streamlined and cost-effective approach to get you back into your house quickly after an emergency. With content management being such a vital element of our fire recovery effort, our investments in top-tier restoration equipment for fire-damaged personal belongings that reach our SERVPRO facility help to improve our ability to make fire loss “Like it never even happened.”

Among the advanced tools that we now have in our warehouse for these restoration projects is our ultrasonic tank, which can help to address fire damage to Gaithersburg house contents directly. The submersion tank works to remove set-on soot, smoke, and odor residues from surfaces through the introduction of sound waves. Bubbles generated by these vibrations reach the surface of materials to get cleaned and implode, and the minute pressurized force generated can effectively remove residues. Hard materials like silverware, glass, porcelain, tile, and other like compositions are ideal for these tanks.
 
This immersion technique is the most effective way of applying adequate cleaning solution to damaged wares from your house, as these items become submerged in potent products designed exclusively to aid in clearing surfaces of soot and other residues. Once removed from the solution, the treated items get dried before being stored in the climate-controlled facility awaiting move-back.
 
While it is one of the most effective soot removal practices that our SERVPRO team can implement, it is not without its limitations. Only contents small enough to fit into one of the submersion tanks can benefit from this cleaning. Also, even though the soot might get removed, additional processes like odor removal in our ozone chamber might still be necessary before the item is entirely restored and ready to get returned to your restored house. Though seldom the case, this non-abrasive nor intrusive treatment is ideal for delicate and intricate items and collectibles.
 
There are many advanced tools and machines available to our SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown team that can help to protect and recover fire-damaged personal belongings after a disaster. We are here to help. Give us a call anytime at (301) 963-8474.
