SERVPRO® Cleaning Services

Artwork & Book Cleaning

Artwork ranges from inexpensive framed pictures to extremely valuable fine art. Restoration of valuable art requires the use of a trained art restorer (known as a conservator), while less expensive art may not warrant these costly specialized services.

A SERVPRO® Professional will usually subcontract fine art restoration to a conservator. If desired, we can attempt to remove smoke residues and odors, after qualifying with the customer that such cleaning procedures may affect the visible appearance of the item.

Hardcover books can usually be restored after a fire, though the success of restorative procedures will depend upon the severity of damage. We’ll evaluate several areas when restoring books:

• Pre-existing damage
• Type of construction
• Heat damage
• Water damage
• Smoke residues
• Value of the book(s)

Whether books are stored on a shelf or individually exposed to damage situations, we can restore the books using various methods based on the amount of damage.
