Electronics Restoration and Cleanup

Why Electronics Need Certified Restoration & Cleanup

After a fire, your electronics might look fine on the outside, but smoke and soot can infiltrate internal components. Even a thin layer of residue can cause serious problems over time. Without proper cleaning, this hidden damage can cause:

• Corrosion of critical internal parts.
• Airborne soot when powered.
• Persistent smoke odors.
• Short circuits and operational failures.

How to Know if Your Electronics Require Professional Attention

Electronics restoration may not be required in every scenario, but it can be highly valuable in the following specific post-fire situations:

• TVs, computers, and kitchen appliances coated in smoke and soot.
• Devices exposed to heat or minor water used during firefighting.
• Electronics in areas affected by smoke requiring careful cleaning.
• When insurance claims require proof of restoration before replacement.
• Sensitive or high-value electronics showing signs of soot buildup.
• Devices that emit unusual sounds, odors, or malfunction after the fire.
