Post-Fire Hazards and Safety Measures
After being extinguished, the fire damage to your home and belongings may continue. Many furniture and flooring materials are synthetic – when burned, they generate complex chemical reactions. After only a few days, those items go from cleanable to unsalvageable.
ServiceMaster Restoration by The Griffin Company technicians are experts at understanding the chemical combinations that can effectively clean and save your belongings, thus helping mitigate additional expenses caused by fire damage. Our fire restoration cleaners can even remove soot from at-risk items, such as:
- Brass, aluminum and chrome

Preventing Residential Fires: What You Need to Know
Fire damage to residential areas is a scary and sobering thought. Knowing the primary causes of fires can help homeowners avoid putting themselves in dangerous situations. Common fire triggers include:
- cooking
- candles
- smoking
- heating appliances
- electrical hazards
Many fire accidents are preventable by taking simple fire safety precautions like not leaving stoves unattended or regularly checking heating units for malfunctioning parts. It's essential to stay informed about fire safety techniques and investigate common fire risks in the home so that serious fire accidents can be avoided.
Expert Soot and Smoke Removal from Carpets
The most important thing to remember when restoring salvageable carpet is to stay off of it if you can. That makes most DIY methods out of the question if you’re dealing with a large area. Treading on soot can drive those fine particles deeper into the fibers. You’ll also want to avoid DIY methods like baking soda.
You might spend a lot of time focusing on this, just for subpar results and needing to contact a restoration company anyway for other fire damage removal. Remember–damage sets in as time goes on. Trying to tackle small cleaning jobs here and there will delay care for the rest of your home.
ServiceMaster Restoration by Griffin Company has the professional equipment necessary for thorough soot removal from carpets.

Immediate Steps to Minimize Fire Damage
Corrosive byproducts can cause irreversible etching in as few as 72 hours. Below are some tips to help keep the damage to a minimum until we get there for fire damage restoration service:
What TO do:
- If the temperature is above 60 degrees, air out the house to reduce smoke odor.
- Clean Formica, chrome, porcelain and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.
- Change the air filter on your furnace if it uses forced hot air.
- Tape damp cheesecloth over returns and supply registers to capture loose soot in the air.
- Discard any open food packages.
- If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.
- Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.
What NOT to do:
- Do NOT touch anything with your bare hands. Oil from your hands can permeate upholstery, walls and woodwork, causing additional damage.
- Do NOT wash walls. Incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
- Do NOT attempt to clean carpets, area rugs, or upholstered furniture.
- Do NOT use electrical appliances until having them checked.
