Soot is corrosive to electronics. SERVPRO has cleaners and knows how to restore your business.

SERVPRO Helps Wilmington Businesses with Fire Cleanup

The cost of fire restoration can run high for businesses. As well as replacing damaged equipment and cleaning smoke-stained carpets or drapes, there is the cost of replacing furniture or office tools destroyed in the blaze. 

If you need fire cleanup in your Wilmington office, you might well be concerned about your office electronics. If a device such as a printer, computer, tablet, or kitchen appliance suffers fire damage, we most likely cannot salvage it. However, it is sometimes possible to save soot-damaged electronics if we:

• Act quickly – soot is corrosive, and the longer the soot is present, the less chance of saving the device. Fortunately, we are Faster to Any Size Disaster.
• Call in supporting experts – we can liaise with trained electricians who will assess, clean, and make your electronics safe if possible.

• Check the device has not been tampered with – tampering with soot-damaged electronics can be dangerous, so please do not touch them while waiting for us to arrive.
