Determining salvageable items after a house fire in Erie involves a detailed inspection by restoration specialists. Structural elements like wood framing and some concrete may be restorable if not severely compromised. Non-porous materials such as metal fixtures and glass are often salvageable after thorough cleaning. However, porous materials like drywall, insulation, textiles, and upholstered furniture that have absorbed significant smoke and soot typically require removal and replacement to ensure complete restoration and prevent persistent odors.
