Christmas Fire Safety
12/23/2019 (Permalink)
The most wonderful time of the year is also one of the most dangerous for homeowners. All of the decorations we use to dress up our homes for the holidays—from candles to Christmas trees—can become potential fire hazards if we’re not careful. Add to the risk fireplaces, space heaters, and nonstop baking sessions, and your dream of a perfect holiday can quickly go up in smoke.
If an unexpected fire does leave your family out in the cold this season, know that you have SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball by your side. With our state-of-the-art restoration services, we can help you get your home back to normal and your New Year off to a better start!
What to do after a fire if it happens during the holidays
In the event a Christmas tree fire or other disaster does occur, your safety and recovery don’t have to be put on hold just because it’s the holiday season. As soon as the fire is out, contact your insurance company immediately to begin the claim process and take photos of the damage before any clean-up begins to maximize your insurance payment.
It’s also critical to contact a SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball right away to get a quote. We can be on-site within 24 hours—even during the holidays—to provide you with an estimate and timeline for repair. When your claim is approved, we’ll not only repair your home’s fire and smoke damage but also clean and dehumidify your home to prevent mold growth from water and chemical extinguishers, if needed.
