Electrical Equipment Damaged by Smoke

Every electrical item, especially the big ones, has fans to draw in air to cool it and keep it from overheating. During a fire, these fans run overtime to keep the machine cool and draw in acrid smoke. The smoke will then leave soot within the electrical item that eventually will eat at the copper and plastics slowly. When your office or commercial building has a fire, give SERVPRO of Bartlett / Cordova a call. We can assess the damage, do the cleanup, and rebuild any damaged areas from a devastating fire.
