Brewster Cleanup and Restoration

Saving Personal Property After Brewster Fire Damage or Water Damage 

Brewster, NY, is located at the junction of the U.S. Route 6 and U.S. Route 202, and with the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line running through town, it's a central regional transportation hub. Even in the mid-19th century, it was recognized as a transportation hub for the milk industry. In 1863, inventor Gail Borden opened his "perfect plant" producing long-lasting condensed milk for the Union Army. Away from transport, one can explore local landmarks such as The Walter Brewster House and Parks such as Wells Park and Markel Memorial Playground.

Salvageable and Unsalvageable Fire Damage 

When fire breaks out, your valuable items like furniture, electronics, and clothing are highly vulnerable. Melting appliance casings due to the extreme heat levels is only the first sign of trouble. If heat significantly affects internal components, the items may be unsalvageable. Other aspects of fire, such as thick smoke, can cause widespread damage, including staining fabrics and corroding circuits. SERVPRO® provides different solutions to manage these damages. 

Helpful Steps for Damaged Items 

• Assessing whether damage is salvageable 
• Pre-cleaning items to limit further damage 
• Drying items and keeping them in a moisture-free area 

Evaluating the Water Damage Level in Personal Items 

When water soaks personal items, you may endure a long drying period or incur a hefty bill after throwing everything out. Knowing what is salvageable and what is unsalvageable is essential to safeguard sentimental items and reduce costs. SERVPRO has qualified water restoration technicians to help with the evaluation. We use tools such as moisture meters to test furniture and upholstery. We also pre-clean items and use elaborate drying procedures, including weighted water extractors for carpets and upholstery, to help manage damage.  

SERVPRO has sufficient resources to manage fire and water damage, saving your salvageable valuables.
