Cleanup of Fire Damage in Your Monroe Home

Many of the common causes for fire in your Monroe living room can be easily prevented if you pay attention to some basic safety rules. There are some things you can do to help assure that your home remains a safe living environment for you and your family.

No matter how big or small fire damage is in your Monroe Home, it is a scary event to occur. Plus, you now have to deal with cleaning up the fire damage. Instead of trying to figure things out for yourself, leave the job to the professionals at SERVPRO. As an experienced remediation company, we have the training and tools that are needed to restore your home. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster. Plus, we treat each case with care, as the individuals you are.

You should first check any sockets, electrical outlets, or extension cords to ensure they are not overloaded. Do not run extension cords under carpeting and make sure they aren’t looped over nails or other sharp objects which could make them fray. Lamps should have the proper wattage bulbs in them and keep enough space around stereo equipment and TVs so that air can flow and cool these devices down.

If the fire in your home was reasonably small, SERVPRO technicians could be dealing with minor fire damage. With this level of damage, the smoke residues might have only affected certain areas or rooms. The amount of smoke residues is light to moderate, and to restore your home, we may use dry cleaning and wet cleaning of the walls, ceilings, floors, and contents. A few areas might need to be repainted, and only minimal things need replacement.

Another thing you can do is to check any upholstered furniture that you have in the living room. Modern furniture manufactured after 1988 is required to be resistant to ignition from matches and burning cigarettes. Of course, keep any lighters and matches away from children and educate them on the dangers of these items and how they must be carefully used. Also, do not leave burning cigarettes unattended and put any smoking materials out before you go to sleep.

Keep candles away from furniture, curtains, or anything else that is flammable. Set candles away from open windows and use the proper candleholders. Do not ever leave a lit candle unattended.
