Primary damage to
electronic equipment is caused by smoke that contains corrosive
chloride and other acidic combustion by-products. Smoke exposure for
a relatively short period
of time does little immediate damage. However, the
residue left after
the smoke has dissipated, contains the active by-products that will
corrode metal contact surfaces in the presence of moisture and oxygen.
The smoke consists of a greasy matrix of carbon, oxidized organics
and contaminants.
The objective in
restoration is the removal of all fire contaminants from
the equipment returning it to the specified cleanliness, which the
original manufacturer required.
ERC specializes in the
removal of contaminants from wind, water, smoke (heavy, moderate
or light) an fire that can damage delicate and not so delicate
electronic equipment.
We are also available to
assess damage caused by lightning and power surges, including
but not limited to repair cost and replacement cost
