What can be salvaged after a fire?
When a fire destroys a home or business, it can be difficult to know what can be salvaged and what needs to be replaced. However, with proper planning and the help of professionals, there are many items that can still be saved after a fire.
You may be able to save valuable items such as jewelry or documents if they are stored in safes or other containers made from metal alloys such as steel or titanium. Similarly, electronics like computers, TVs, and gaming systems should also remain unscathed provided they were not directly exposed to flames for an extended period of time. These devices will need professional cleaning before being used again however as the smoke residue is highly corrosive when left unchecked over time.
Moreover, furniture made from hardwood, such as tables, chairs, and dressers, may still retain their structural integrity, even if their surfaces have been charred by heat during the incident. Carpets on the other hand usually cannot withstand direct contact with a flame so these will most likely need replacing entirely unless only minor portions were affected by smoke damage. The same goes for fabrics, curtains, and upholstery which are often irreparably damaged beyond repair during fires.
