Fire & Smoke Damage


After fire damage it is natural to want to jump right in and clean the building and contents. Timely action can be a great help, but incorrect action can jeopardize or impede satisfactory restoration.


Do...

·         Clean and protect chrome trim on faucets and other bright work by washing with dtergent and applying a coat of Vaseline or oil.

·         Blow off or brush vacuum loose smoke particles from upholstery, draperies and carpeting.

·         Open windows for ventilation if weather permits.

·         Empty refrigerators and freezers if electricity is off, and prop doors open with a rolled towel or newspaper to allow air circulation.

·         Pour antifreeze in toilet bowls, tanks, sink and tub drains to prevent freeze damage if heat is off in winter.

·         Call a plumber to drain and blow out all water lines if heat is off in winter.

·         Remove pets to a clean environment if heavy fire residues are present.

·         Send a sample group of garments for cleaning and deodorization in order to observe the results.

·         Retain a contractor to board up open windows, roofs, or other penetrations in order to prevent additional damage.


Do not...
        ·         Wipe or attempt to wash fire residues from surfaces.

·         Use carpeting or upholstered furniture impacted by heavy smoke residues or debris.

·         Use food items or canned goods exposed to heat.

·         Turn on computers, TVs, stereos or electrical appliances until they have been cleaned and checked.


Soot (Furnace) Damage


While soot may resemble smoke residues from a fire, the restoration of soot damage often requires different techniques; incorrect action can make restoration more difficult and delay the return to normal.


Do...

·         Change and save the old furnace filter.

·         Blow off or brush vacuum loose soot particles from upholstery, draperies and carpets.

·         Cover upholstery with clean sheets before use.



Do not...

·         Attempt to wash walls, ceilings or contents without professional assistance.
