Let our SERVPRO team of trained professionals help you with your Fire Damage Cleanup.

If you have experienced a fire in your home or business, dealing with the resulting cleanup can be overwhelming.  There are a few steps that you can take to reduce the spread of soot throughout your property.  First you should turn off the ventilation systems in your home or business.  HVAC systems can pull the smoke and soot into the system and then deposit it throughout your property.  The second step you should take if possible is attempt to ventilate your property by opening up windows.  This will allow the smoke and odor to dissipate and escape through the windows.  Soot deposits left behind can cause staining and corrosion of certain materials. It is important to know what you can clean and how to clean it to prevent further damage. 

In some cases, it may be necessary to call in a Fire and Water Damage Professional to assess the extent of the damage and to provide a plan to restore your home. Many Fire and Water Damage Restoration Company’s will provide an onsite assessment for your home or business. If you feel this is necessary try reaching out to your local insurance agent for help. They may be able to provide a list of restoration vendors in your area.  In addition, try looking online for top-rated professionals in your area.  It is important check out a company before you make a decision to use them.  Read local online reviews and check to see if they are listed with your local Better Business Bureau.  Once you have worked through this process you should feel confident and ready to hire a professional to assist you with your cleanup needs.
