Specialized Contents Cleaning
Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration's water damage restoration technicians clean, sterilize, sanitize, deodorize, dry, and store your contents until the restoration job is complete. Specialized cleaning refers to various cleaning and debris removal methods applied to water-damaged contents to help restore and dry safely. Our technicians pre-treat items, clean items, and remove dirt and debris before drying restoration methods are performed.
Our Iicrc-certified Restoration Crews Use the Following Cleaning Methods to Restore Your Contents:
- Abrasive Cleaning – Scrub the surface to clean and remove debris.
- Dry Cleaning – Pre-cleans before wet cleaning and removes light residues.
- Foam Cleaning – Cleans upholstery and fabrics; prevents shrinking and color bleeding.
- Immersion Cleaning – Water bath of contents and cleaning solution.
- Spray and Wipe – Cleans and removes debris from items that can't be wet cleaned.
- Wet Cleaning – Removes moderate to heavy residues.
- High-Saturation Ozone Washing – Removes fatty smoke odor, soot, oil from leather, and more.
High-Saturation Ozone Washing Method
Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration uses high-saturation ozone washing to remove heavy smoke odor, soot, or soil. This is our preferred method for cleaning soft leather goods, furniture, and other leather contents. High-saturation ozone washing uses a gentle, specialized detergent to clean and moisturize leather by infusing oils back into the leather.
Contents Drying Methods by Teasdale
Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration uses various drying methods to dry and restore water-damaged contents to pre-water damage conditions and to prevent any additional damage, like mold damage. We select one of these drying solutions based on the material and the level of water damage.
- Air Drying
- Cryogenic Drying (Freeze Drying)
- Vacuum Freeze-Drying
- Dehumidification Drying (Desiccant Drying)
Air Drying Method in Lebanon, Cincinnati, Columbus, Ohio & Sarasota, Florida
The air-drying method is effective in drying small quantities of documents that can be dried over a large surface area and exposed to areas of wetness or dampness. In addition, this drying method exhibits low metal corrosion.
Cryogenic Drying (Freeze Drying) Method in Batavia, Cincinnati, Columbus, Ohio & Sarasota, Florida
In cryogenic drying, a slight amount of moisture is retained in each item in this drying method. A short liquid state is involved, unlike the vacuum freeze-drying method (where the thing is completely dried in the process).
The short liquid phase has benefits when preserving paper, canvas, books, and documents. This method can be more costly than other drying methods, but the restoration cost can be justified when replacing heirlooms, antiques, sentimental items, rare books, collectibles, and valuable documents.
Benefits of Cryogenic Drying Method:
- Less warping of books and documents
- Effective in restoring water-damaged leather & oil paintings
Vacuum Freeze-Drying Method by Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration
Vacuum freeze-drying is a very effective and safe method for preserving and restoring water-damaged items, including large quantities of wet documents, books, records, coated paper, electronic components, and electrical systems. We begin the drying process by completely freezing the items and then decreasing the surrounding pressure using sophisticated equipment to allow the frozen water in the contents to transition from a solid to a gas, avoiding the direct liquid to gas transition phase in ordinary drying.
This direct evaporation of a solid to vapor with no liquid phase prevents further damage during the drying restoration process, restoring the electronics components at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Phases of Vacuum Freeze-Drying Method:
- Pre-Treatment - In preparation for the freezing phase, we add components to increase stability, preserve the appearance, and improve processing during the excellent phase.
- Freezing - We use a freeze-drying machine to freeze the material below its triple point, the lowest temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of the material can coexist to sublimate (to pass directly from the concrete to the vapor state and condense back to solid form) rather than melt the ice.
- Primary Drying - Pressure is decreased with enough heat supplied through conduction to sublimate ice.
- Secondary Drying - Removes unfrozen water molecules. As a result, residual water is reduced from 4% to 1%.
Benefits of Vacuum Freeze-Drying Method:
- Gentle drying of contents at low temperatures
- Restores electronic components
- Restores electronic components
- Prevents metal corrosion
-
Quickly dries items with large surface areas
Restores electronics at a fraction of the cost of replacement
Dehumidification Drying (Desiccant Drying) in Lebanon, Cincinnati, Columbus, Ohio & Sarasota, Florida
This drying method works on the adsorption principle with an operating range from 10 °F to 90 °F. Since this drying method does not operate on the principle of heat, it can be used year-round in all environments. Desiccant Dehumidification dryers eliminate moisture in the plastic materials. Low drying temperatures create an expected degradation of materials. However, this method can increase the paper's volume, cockling distortion, and mold growth.
