Fire Damage Restoration Tips
Fire is a devastating force, especially in California. Not only does it damage the structure of your home, but it can also leave soot and smoky odors which are tough to clean up! If you have had a fire on your property, it is best to contact fire damage restoration experts at ServiceMaster Restoration by Disaster Recovery Experts for help. Their Los Angeles fire damage restoration professionals are available 24/7!
Want to help speed up the LA disaster recovery process? Below are some fire damage restoration tips:
- Before entering your home, be sure to ensure its structural safety first! When it has been verified by an expert that is safe, then take these quick tips to help prep for the fire damage cleanup.
- Ventilate the area. Even after a fire is extinguished, the smoke and fumes may linger. Open all the windows and doors to ventilate the area as much as possible. You may use fans to increase airflow as well, however, do not use your home’s outlets -- be sure to use an outside source such as a portable power source or your neighbor’s outlets.
- Do not plug in any electronics. Until you have an electrician inspect your home, do not plug in any appliances or electronic devices into your outlets -- it may present another risk of fire.
- Cover clean, unaffected furniture with plastic. Doing this will protect the unaffected furniture during the clean-up process.
- Do not clean up on your own. Soot and smoke remain in the home and may be dangerous, especially to those with respiratory problems. In addition, the after-effects of fire can be toxic to humans and animals as well -- the after-effects may be carcinogenic! Let our fire damage restoration experts do the deep cleaning -- they will have the proper equipment and safety gear to handle it all.
-
Dispose of any contaminated items. The National Ag Safety Database (NASD) recommends throwing out anything
that has come into contact with smoke, water, or any chemicals that were
used to fight the fire. This includes the items listed below:
- Fresh produce, eggs, fish, meat, and poultry
- Opened containers
- Opened packages
- Containers that are lined with cork or have waxed cardboard seals or peel-off tops
- Food stored in paper, foil, plastic, cloth, or cardboard boxes
- Extracts, flour, seasonings, spices, sugar, and any other staples stored in canisters
- Food in cans or jars may seem okay, however, if they have been close to the fire, they may no longer be edible because heat activates food spoilage bacteria. Toxic fumes may also contaminate them.
- Double-check refrigerated foods -- if an off-flavor or smell is detected, dispose of it.
