There is hope after fire restoration

If you are a book lover, you understand the dismay that comes when you see soot-damaged books. A blaze can leave spines and pages soot-blackened. Stop before you throw any books away – we can sometimes salvage books.

Book lovers who need fire restoration in Darien should call SERVPRO. Our technicians understand that saving books is delicate work, and they have the necessary skills and tools. Badly burned books are not salvageable. However, there are things we can do for milder damage:

• Dry sponge wiping removes light soot deposits.
• Gentle abrasion with sandpaper tackles more stubborn stains.
• Deodorizing pellets nearby can help absorb smoke odors from books.
  

If you feel confident, you can try these techniques yourself or call SERVPRO for help. Whatever you do, please do not apply any kind of liquid cleaner as this will make the problem worse. We can also help restore books that are waterlogged after fire-fighting efforts. Our state-of-the-art freeze drying facility can stop further damage and carefully remove moisture from the pages.
