Fire Damage - Here to Help
5/17/2021 (Permalink)
What should you do if your office or home suffers a fire?
All too often, we do not have a plan if a disaster occurs until it happens. The trouble is that if you do not have a plan, it is hard to act quickly and methodically, and we tend to make decisions based on emotions rather than facts. So here are a few tips should you encounter a fire in your home:
The most important factor is that everyone gets out safe. Plan with your family or employees how to get out of a fire and where to meet.
The best scenario to reduce the amount of damage from a fire and/or soot, is to contact a restoration company as soon as possible to begin the cleanup work. If the local fire department responded to a fire, often there is water damage as well as soot or charred materials from the fire. SERVPRO of St. Cloud can dry out your home as well as eliminating the soot odor. We have specialized equipment including air scrubbers, fogging equipment, ozone chambers just to name a few. It is important to understand how the equipment along with the specialized cleaning chemicals can restore your house as to the conditions before your fire.
