It's never easy to recover from fire damage.  It's even more upsetting when it occurs to a home that contains precious and delicate items.  The challenge is hot to remove dirt, soot and smoke from very small and delicate objects?  In the past, this was done with chemicals and very delicate tools.  Pieces were bathed in solvents to loosen the soil, then workers would used specialized brushes and cotton swabs to clean the items.  Finally, the pieces were placed in an ozone chamber to remove the smell.  

  This time and labor-intensive process was able to save some objects, but some were just not recoverable using this process and removing the smell of the smoke was not guaranteed. This is were ultrasonic cleaning comes in.  Ultrasonic cleaners use cavitation and solutions that are able to penetrate into every little corner of an intricate piece of content to make sure that all the soil comes away. 

  Ultrasonic cleaners are a game changer in the cleaning and restoration business.  Our highly trained SERVPRO of Madison, Lawrenceburg and Versailles technicians  will utilize this new technology to care for your most precious belongings.  We want to make it "Like it never even happened."
