When fire damaged a historic church in Montgomery County, the congregation faced losing not just their building but decades of electronic equipment — sound systems, computers, musical instruments, and archival equipment.
The Scope
The fire primarily affected the kitchen and fellowship hall, but smoke and soot spread throughout the building. Every electronic device was contaminated with acidic soot particles that, left untreated, would cause permanent corrosion.
10-Day Rush
The church had a major event scheduled in just two weeks. Our team of six technicians worked around the clock, cleaning and restoring over 200 electronic items. Each device was disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and tested before reassembly.
The Outcome
We restored 95% of the electronics to full functionality. The sound system, computers, and musical equipment were all operational before the event. The church's insurance covered the restoration, saving over $150,000 in replacement costs.
