Textile restoration
Soft goods are often the most affected in any type od disaster.
Whether it’s a fire incident, flooding, or storm, items made from
clothing materials can easily be contaminated.
Textile materials are often affected by soot, odor, mold or mildew
growth and other hard‐to‐remove stains when a disaster occurs.
At first sight, home or business owners might be tempted to
condemn their entire clothing collection, but that should not be
the case.
At DRI‐FIRST Restoration, we help sort through the pile and save
your clothing items from going to a complete waste. We take
inventory of your clothing items and present you with the best
restore vs. replace decision ratio based on our expert judgment.
Our textile restoration process, which has been perfected over decades of practice, is quality assured. We handle all types of soft goods products, from corporate wear to upholstery covers.
Our Process
During incidents like fire, flood, or storm, textile materials pick up different forms of stains. As a result, they can be affected by soot, ash, debris, oil, sewage, grime, and a host of other contaminants that get carried around.
The longer the contaminants stay on textile materials, the higher the risk of damage.
Time is of the essence in restoration cleaning. To ensure the textile fibers aren’t permanently damaged.
Our textile restoration team get into swift action to ensure:
- Mold spore growth on items is prevented;
- Natural cleaning agents are used, hypoallergenic and biodegradable;
- Clothes are restored to pre-loss condition and healthy for use.
For every disaster situation, there is a characteristic odor that accompanies it.
The odor is an indicator of microbes and contaminants present in materials. Restoration cleaning only rids of the pollutants. It’s the deodorization process that gives restored items a scent as fresh as new.
What does our deodorization process do?
- Removes odor-causing microbes;
- Absorbs compounds causing the characteristic smell of smoke;
- Adds the refreshing scent of natural cleaning agents.
Textile restoration is only complete when the items are safe for use and pose no health risk.
Our sanitization process covers all forms of soft goods. For larger items like pillows, our restoration process involves complete sterilization to remove all contaminants.
Our team also handles sanitization of the home environment. To complete the safety check for restored materials, the environment where they’ll be returned has to be sanitized as well.
What you get from sanitization:
- No risk of rash or reaction to restored items;
- Quality assurance;
- Improved lifespan of textile materials.

Electronic restoration
Electronics and appliances in homes and machinery in commercial cases get damaged when disastrous incidents happen.
But before you condemn the equipment as useless because it doesn’t come on, be sure to have called our electronic restoration services.
Electronic restoration is a delicate science that only experts can pull off.
Our process at Dri-first is detailed and high-tech. We unhook every bolt and nut to find the core of electronics and restore complete functionality. Our methods save our customers thousands of dollars by only restoring the main components instead of replacing them.
Our Process
Swift response is at the core of our business in Electronics restoration.
For homeowners, we know the impact of time on damaged equipment. So our first reaction is to stop further damage from being done to the core components of electronic gadgets.
Our process assesses potential damages peculiar to each situation.
Fire/smoke damage
In fire outbreak incidents, the significant risk factors for electronics are heat, smoke, ash, and soot. Other potentially harmful substances include chemical vapors, steam, fire extinguisher powder residues, and other air-borne pollutants.
The critical components within electronic gadgets vary based on the device type. Our expert team of engineers isolate the core components from coming in contact with these damaging factors.
Water damage
Water damage to equipment running on electricity can be severe because water can flow into any part of devices that are not air-tight sealed.
In cases like this, our electronics restoration team is most concerned for the safety of property owners. Therefore, the primary focus is to disconnect the devices from power sources.
After we alleviate risk to humans, we then piece apart the components of the device to curb the reach of the water flowing through. This is followed by our expert technique to dry out wet components at constant temperature and low humidity.
Lightning damage
Lightning damages are peculiar to electronics. Disasters that come with heavy thunderstorms can cause a power surge which can damage appliances in the home.
Our electronic restoration team would conduct a visual assessment of the impact level of lightning on electric appliances. This is followed by a functional test to determine where to focus the restoration process.
Once the damages in electronics have been accounted for, our engineering team takes a thorough process to restore all affected components to pre-loss condition.
For gadgets that have obsolete parts, we make sure to install up-to-date accessories for optimal function.
Once the restoration of electronics is completed, our professionals come down to oversee reinstallation. We verify that all restored equipment functions correctly before handing it over to customers for use. Each fixed item comes with a warranty from us as part of our quality assurance.
