SERVPRO Knows the Do’s and Don’ts of Fire and Smoke Cleanup – Call Us to Your North Brunswick Property
The bulk of a fire restoration project is better left in the hands of trained professionals. However, there are some things that North Brunswick homeowners can do until SERVPRO arrives. Fire damage is something that can be devastating for both businesses and homeowners. Due to the nature of a fire event, some elements may be challenging to overcome and restore. Our crew understands the dos and don’ts of any fire restoration situation, allowing us to get you the results you need quickly. We can arrive as the fire trucks leave to inspect and start the mitigation and cleanup service.
When it comes to fire damage cleanup in North Brunswick, these are a few dos and don’ts that we want our customers to know:
- DO get in touch with our team of certified restoration specialists to begin remediation and repair.
- DO ensure your utilities are off until you can get a professional evaluation of the damage – this includes your gas, water, electricity, and any other utilities.
- DO take care of your pets. It is crucial to remove them from fire damaged homes because any lingering smoke and soot might be harmful to them.
- DON’T use your HVAC system or any electronics. Your heating and cooling system can cause particles to spread throughout the home, and damaged electronics can be hazardous or be further damaged.
- DON’T clean any ceilings, walls, or similar surfaces. It is also essential to leave clothing and other fabrics to professionals for assessment, so the proper cleaning methods get selected.
- DON’T consume leftover food. Any food items left inside your home during the fire event might not be safe to consume because of heat, soot, smoke, and other contaminants.
