After any fire damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first:

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.

     

  • Clean and protect chrome with light coating of Vaseline or oil.

     

  • Wash house plants on both sides of leaves.

     

  • Change HVAC filter.

     

  • Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers.

  • Don’t attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting your SERVPRO® Professional.

     

  • Don’t attempt to clean any electrical appliances, that may have been close to fire, heat or water without consulting an authorized repair service.

     

  • Don’t use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
     
  • Don’t turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.

     

  • Don’t send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.
