Experiencing a fire can be devastating, but the aftermath also presents significant challenges. At SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County, we understand the complexities of fire damage and are committed to helping you through the restoration process.

The initial step after a fire is ensuring safety. Do not re-enter your property until professionals declare it safe. Fires can weaken structures, leaving them prone to collapse. Also, ensure the fire department has thoroughly extinguished any remaining hot spots to prevent re-ignition.

Once safety is assured, assess the extent of the damage. Fire doesn’t just burn; it causes soot and smoke damage, which can be extensive. Smoke penetrates walls, furniture, and other materials, leaving behind unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. Soot can cover surfaces with a greasy, black residue that is difficult to clean.

Begin the cleaning process by ventilating the property to remove smoke odors. Use protective gear to avoid inhaling harmful particles. Soot can often be removed from surfaces with a vacuum or specialized cleaning agents, but avoid using water on electrical appliances and devices until they have been inspected by a professional.

Water damage from firefighting efforts is another critical aspect to address. Extract standing water and dry affected areas promptly to prevent mold growth. Professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers can expedite this process.

Restoration involves repairing structural damage and replacing irreparable items. This phase can be overwhelming, but SERVPRO’s experienced team can help you navigate the complexities. We offer comprehensive fire damage restoration services, from debris removal and odor elimination to complete reconstruction.

Fire damage is distressing, but you don’t have to face it alone. At SERVPRO® , we’re dedicated to restoring your property and peace of mind. Contact us anytime for professional, compassionate assistance.

Fire Safety For Kids

9/10/2020 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County we care about the safety of your family. By sharing this information from the American Red Cross, we hope to shed some light on something we see too often, house fires.

A home fire is a devastating event, and one that you never count on happening. Your children are most at risk when this disaster occurs. Unfortunately, many home fires are started by children playing with dangerous household items – especially lighters and matches. Taking sensible precautions in the home and teaching your child how to escape from a fire can help your family avoid this type of heartbreak.

Prevent Your Child from Starting Fires

The U.S. Fire Administration estimates that $280 million in property is destroyed each year as the result of children playing with fire.

Keep matches, lighters and other ignitable substances in a secured location out of your child’s reach. Only use lighters with child-resistant features.
Invest in flameless candles. These candles contain a light bulb rather than an open flame, and take the danger out of your child knocking over a candle.

Important Fire Safety Tips

6/23/2020 (Permalink)

According to statistical data from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2012 an estimated 1,375,500 res were responded to in the United States. These blazes caused 2,855 deaths and 16,500 civilian injuries while costing more than $12.4 billion in damage.

Though some fires are unavoidable acts of nature or unpredictable accidents, many fires in the home and workplace are avoidable. The following tips, courtesy of the NFPA, can help reduce the likelihood of a fire in your business or home.

1. Watch your cooking - Stay in the kitchen if you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Never allow young children around the stove or oven, especially if they are not closely attended.

2. Give space heaters space - Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.

3. Smoke outside - If you must smoke inside, have a sturdy, deep ashtray. Never smoke in bed.

4. Keep matches and lighters out of reach - Keep matches and lighters in high cabinets, preferably under a child lock.

5. Inspect electrical cords - Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs or have loose connections.

6. Be careful when using candles - Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow them out before you leave the room or go to sleep.

7. Have a fire escape plan - Make a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.

8. Install smoke alarms - Install alarms on every level of your of ooffice or home and inside bedrooms. Interconnect them so they all sound at once.

9. Test smoke alarms - Test alarms once per month. Replace batteries once per year or as needed.

10. Install sprinklers - Sprinklers can help maintain and sometimes even extinguish fires, giving your local fire department a better chance of saving your property.

Fire Restoration Safety

After a fire, our technicians want to get to work right away to help get your home to its pre-fire condition. But safety for our technicians and anyone else that will be on site is our main concern. Safety hazards are present at every fire damage work site. We need to take safety concerns seriously and need to address them properly before starting. Every fire damage is different so our highly trained technicians will take time to identify and resolve safety hazards before proceeding with the project. Doing restoration work in fire-damaged buildings is potentially dangerous. Some hazards that call for technicians to exercise special precaution are:

Electrical Hazards
- Fire-damaged work sites are frequently wet if water was used to extinguish the fire. Mixing water and electricity is extremely dangerous!
Structural Hazards
- Fire often causes damage to the structure of the building. The technicians will be cautious of loose or falling debris.
Slip, Trip, and Fall
- Slip or fall accidents are a common cause of injuries. These can be avoided by following some simple preventative measures.

SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County technicians are highly trained for fire restoration. They will plan ahead for a safe work process. This may take a little extra time and we appreciate your patience during this difficult situation.

Smoke Damage

6/3/2019 (Permalink)

A fire damage in your home is devastating. Whether it’s big or small, the smoke may damage a large part of your home and belongings. Smoke damage can do more damage than the actual fire. SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County technicians are highly trained in Fire Cleanup and Restoration. Performing fire damage restoration involves both removing the smoke residues and also deodorizing smoke odors. The odors in a smoke-damaged building will be considerably decreased once the affected materials are demolished and removed or cleaned. The actual cleaning and deodorization procedures will vary depending on whether the smoke residues are light, medium, or heavy. Our technicians will assess the situation and go from there. We want to make this fire damage like it never even happened.
