Can Carpeting Be Saved After a Fire?

A professional fire restoration expert can determine what can be salvaged or needs to be replaced after a fire event. Regarding saving carpeting, it depends upon the circumstances. If even a small portion of the carpet suffered a burn, then the entire carpet would be removed. However, if the fire were in a kitchen and the carpets in other rooms had soot contamination, they may very well be salvaged. There are cleaning chemicals and techniques that do an excellent job of removing soot and odor from all textiles.

However, it must be understood that if an insurance claim has been established for the fire then an Insurance Adjuster will be in charge. Insurance Adjusters represent the insurance company and ensure that you, the policyholder receive the quality of work you deserve. They also monitor the service providers to ensure their work is performed correctly and ethically.
