Fire Damage at Home: We can Help

10/2/2020 (Permalink)

Even after the fire is put out, your home suffers many consequences that SERVPRO of Claremont/Montclair can resolve.

Here are some immediate things to keep in mind after the fire has been put out.

DO

• Keep movement in the home to a minimum. Constant moving will embed soot particles into carpet and upholstery
• Wash any soot from chrome appliances including faucets and any trip. Then lightly coast these surfaces with a small amount of lubricant.
• Wash both sides of leaves on all house plants. They most likely have ash on them.

DON’T

• Attempt to wash any walls without contacting a SERVPRO expert
• Attempt to clean or shampoo a carpet until professional help arrives
• Eat any food or beverages that may have been stored near fire, water or heat – they may be contaminated
