Common Types of Fires That Could Affect Your Home

Your Reliable Fire and Smoke Restoration Experts

We have a very effective fire restoration process to help you restore your property after a house fire. Our team is experienced in removing soot and ash from your walls, ceilings, furniture, and more. Once we arrive on the scene, we will conduct a free assessment to determine the extent of the fire and smoke damage before recommending the services that need to be rendered. 

Here is what our Fire and Smoke Restoration Process entails: 

  • Identify the type of fire that occurred - each type of fire requires a different process.
  • Evaluate the areas (from firefighting) that may need treatment.
  • Remediate any water damage.
  • Identify sensitive materials that might be damaged by smoke, ash, and soot particles.
  • Remove contents from your home, including clothing, prescriptions, books, and other things.
  • Pack remaining contents for storage or cleaning.
  • Perform structural restoration - this includes removing charred contents like insulation and burnt wood that might seal in smoke.
  • Evaluate floor coverings and carpets to see if they need to be removed.
  • Inspect the frame of the house, as well as subfloors, for safety.
  • Treat affected surfaces to remove smoke odors and seal them to keep leftover odors from seeping back into your home.
  • Clean, eliminate smoke damage odors and deodorize surfaces to their previous condition.
  • Return furniture and possessions to their original location so you can get on with your normal life.

The residue left behind after a fire can be hazardous and can cause health problems if it is not taken care of correctly and thoroughly. You do not want to attempt to clean up your home on your own after a fire, or you may end up causing more damage. Only experts with the right training and tools can ensure that the job is done properly. ServiceMaster Restore is the expert of our field, with industry leading techniques and training developed over our 65+ years of experience.

Quick Tips for When You Experience Fire and Smoke Damage

DO

Here are some helpful tips on what you should do when you experience fire and smoke damage:

  • If the temperature is above 60 degrees, air out the house to reduce smoke odor.
  • Clean laminate surfaces as well as chrome, porcelain, and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.
  • Change the air filter on your furnace if it uses forced hot air.
  • Tape damp cheesecloth over returns and supply registers to capture loose soot in the air.
  • Discard any open food packages.
  • If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.
  • Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.



DON'T

What not to do:

  • Do not touch anything with your bare hands. Oil from your hands can permeate upholstery, walls, and woodwork, causing additional damage.
  • Do not wash the walls. Incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
  • Do not attempt to clean carpets or upholstered furniture.
  • Do not use electrical appliances until having them checked.
  • Do not use ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet.
