Fire Damage Tips
Even after the fire is doused and the smoke cleared, time is of the essence. To increase your chances of a complete recovery, call Servicemaster of Beaufort County as soon as possible. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to ensure a more successful restoration.
What to do:
- Corrosive byproducts from fire and smoke can cause irreversible etching in as few as 72 hours. Call Servicemaster of Beaufort County immediately.
- If the temperature is above 60 degrees, air out your home by opening windows and doors to reduce smoke odor.
- Clean Formica, chrome, porcelain and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.
- Change the air filter on your furnace it if uses forced hot air.
- Tape damp cheesecloth over important documents to capture loose soot in the air.
- Discard any open food packages.
- If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.
- Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.
What not to do:
- Do not touch anything. Oil from your hands can permeate upholstery, walls and woodwork, causing additional damage.
- Do not wash walls. Incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
- Do not attempt to clean carpets or upholstered furniture.
- Do not use electrical appliances until having them checked.
- Do not use ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet.
