A dryer fire at a family residence that we were called out to do clean-up for.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration

2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.

Failure to clean the dryer (34 percent) is the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires.

More home clothes dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.

How to prevent a dryer fire:

This January, check your connections! Be sure your dryer vents are clean.

A few best practices are:

• Clean your dryer vent EVERY TIME you use the dryer.
• Clean your dryer vent ductwork every year. 
• Have your dryer cleaned regularly by a professional, especially if it is taking longer than normal for clothes to dry.

What to expect after a dryer fire:

Smoke and soot are very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allows us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.  

Smoke and soot facts:

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Chattooga, Dade, and West Walker Counties will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

• Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

• Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

• Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor. 

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Since each smoke and fire damage situation is a little different, each one requires a unique solution tailored for the specific conditions.  We have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damage.  We will also treat your family with empathy and respect and your property with care.

Burst Sprinkler Line in Office Building

1/6/2023 (Permalink)

This flooded office building was caused by a frozen and then burst sprinkler line during our December 2022/January 2023 winter freeze event.

During our recent major freeze, commercial properties were calling on us to come in and cleanup after burst sprinkler lines and pipe lines. A sprinkler line break in the foyer of this office caused the entire office to flood.

SERVPRO of North Whitfield and Catoosa Counties was called in to clean up the aftermath! With plastic ductwork set up throughout the office, we got the building tried and out back to 'pre-disaster event condition'.
