Fire – even in small amounts – can be extremely dangerous even if the after-effects are not immediately visible. There are a few things that need to be known before entering the home after you have had a fire. Fire damage restoration is almost always necessary.

First, consult a fire marshal and ensure that it is safe to re-enter the home after fire damage. Even though you may want to inspect and see what survived the fire, you need to be safe for obvious reasons. Fire can cause the home to be extremely unstable and dangerous.

Immediately following the fire, call SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball to help assess the damage in the home and begin the cleanup process. Our trained and certifies professionals can save a lot of money, time and keep your family safe when dealing with fire damage, but here are some things you can do before we arrive to help speed up the process a bit more.

Remember: DO NOT enter your home without approval from a fire marshal!

Fire Damage Restoration Clean Up Tips:

• Open all windows and doors to ventilate and help get the smoke out as much as possible.
• Cover any clean, unaffected pieces of furniture up with plastic to make sure they are not damaged in the cleanup process.
• Do not try to clean anything yourself. The soot and smoke that has set into the furniture and carpet can be dangerous.
• Don’t plug in any electronics. Call an electrician to inspect for any electrical damage from the fire.
• Throw out any open of possibly exposed foods that make have been contaminated from the fire.
