Here are 4 tips to keep in mind with fire and smoke damage:

1. Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpet.
2. Keep hands clean. Soot on hands can further soil upholstery, walls and woodwork.
3. If electricity is off, empty your freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open to help prevent odor.
4. Wipe soot from chrome on kitchen and bathroom faucets, trim and appliances, then protect these surfaces with a light coating of lubricant.

Fires can happen at any time, day or night. The most important thing is quick response time. That’s why SERVPRO of Edgewater/Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
