Electronics After Fire Damage

7/30/2019 (Permalink)

Some of our most important information isn't necessarily in physical documents, they are found in our electronic devices. Family pictures, credit card numbers and every application that we use daily contain our most vital information. What would you do if your electronics were involved in a home or office fire? Would they be able to be saved? Well, that depends a lot on the situation involving the fire. If your devices such as an iPad or cell phone experienced extreme heat, chances are it will no longer be unusable. If your devices were engulfed in smoke, there is hope. Soot is the major culprit with smoke logged devices. Always consult with a professional to clean and decontaminate your devices before powering them on. Doing so gives you a greater chance at recovery for your electronics. Our team at SERVPRO of Racine have top of the line equipment that help expedite recovery time.
