SERVPROS Fire Tips

10/11/2021 (Permalink)

Have you recently been involved in a fire? Think about your safety quick:

• Is it safe for anyone to stay in the house?
• Electrical and hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns.
• Only do activities that are safe for you to perform.
• If the material is wet, it can be cumbersome.

 What to do after a fire: 

• Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets.
• Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls, and woodwork.
• Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas.
• If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open.
• Wash houseplants on both sides of the leaves.
• Change HVAC filters.
• Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers.
