Emergency Fire Damage Tips

8/9/2019 (Permalink)

After a damaging fire, you will need to shift through your business or home to analyze the damage and account for salvageable items. To minimize further damages and keep you safe, follow these emergency fire damage tips:

• Wash your hands often.
• Reduce movement throughout the building to prevent further damages.
• Place old linens or dry towels on carpeted, highly trafficked areas to prevent soiling.
• If the electricity has been cut off, empty your refrigerator and freezer and keep its doors open.
• Wipe soot from appliances and faucets and protect them with a light layer of lubricant.

Do not wash any walls, carpet, painted surfaces or furniture without first contacting a team member from SERVPRO of North Whitfield and Catoosa Counties at 706-965-7378. Our professionals specialize in making fire damage “Like it never even happened.” Furthermore, do not attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire or water without consulting a repair service.
