Fire Damage Emergency Tips

3/11/2025 (Permalink)

What To Do After A Fire

• Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets.
• Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls and woodwork.
• Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery and carpet traffic areas.
• If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open.
• Clean and protect chrome with light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.
• Wash houseplants on both sides of leaves.
• Change HVAC filter.
• Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers.

What NOT To Do After A Fire

• Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting your local SERVPRO.
• Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat or water without consulting an authorized repair service.
• Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
• Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.
• Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.

Water Damage Mitigation & Remediation

3/5/2025 (Permalink)

When a building is flooded or damaged, the cleanup process takes three steps in sequence: mitigation, remediation and restoration. Some companies include remediation as part of mitigation.

During water damage restoration, mitigation is the first step and involves stopping the flow of water, removing the water and drying the property. The next step, remediation, involves cleaning, drying, deodorizing and sanitizing salvageable materials, as well as removing items that can’t be repaired.

Mitigation takes place during or after the water event and involves stopping the flow of water, removing the water and drying the property. 

Mitigation includes the following steps: Inspect the damaged area for the severity and type of water damage, including structural stability. Remove damaged or affected furniture, carpeting, flooring and other building material. Safely dispose of any contaminated material. Extract water and dry affected areas with pumps, blower fans, dehumidifiers and other equipment. Put down tarps or board up doors and windows as needed to protect the property. 

Remediation focuses on the cleanup and involves cleaning, drying, deodorizing and sanitizing salvageable materials.

How to clean after fire damage?The majority of cleaning after a fire is working to remove soot residues from the structure and contents of the home or business. We have a specific process we follow, which is tailored to each fire damage situation. What is the first thing I should do after a fire?Experiencing a fire to your home or business can be traumatic and stressful, and knowing what to do after a fire can seem overwhelming. First, contact a local disaster relief agency and your insurance company for immediate assistance, especially if you’ve been displaced. Try to locate any necessary documents you’ll need, like a driver’s license and other records, but don’t enter the structure unless the fire department has deemed it safe for you to do so, first. How long will the fire restoration process take?The timeline for a fire restoration varies greatly, and depends on the severity of fire, smoke and soot damage. The size of the building and the amount of contents also helps determine the length of time for restoration. SERVPRO technicians will complete a full scope of work at the beginning of the project and will provide you with an estimated timeline so you know what to expect. SERVPRO of Paducah & Mayfield 270-443-4555Here to Help 24/7
