Residential fires are both physically and emotionally devastating. SERVPRO of Dunedin/Palm Harbor South can handle the restoration.

Fire and smoke damage can be physically and emotionally devastating. If this happened in your home, it could potentially destroy everything you own. To make sure you restore your possessions and your property you’ll need to hire the services of a fire and smoke damage restoration team. Here are a few tips to help you deal with the aftermath.

Remove the Soot and Smoke

Don’t leave the soot, fire, and smoke unattended for too long. Once you get the go-ahead that it is safe to enter your property, your restoration team will need to start removing your belongings as soon as possible. The faster your team can remove those items, the more successful the restoration efforts will likely be.

Don't Touch Anything

Cleaning your carpets and belongings of smoke and soot is more difficult than it appears. It is best to leave the work in the hands of experts. SERVPRO of Dunedin/Palm Harbor South has the experience and tools to take care of this for you. 

Replace Your Belongings

Cleaning efforts can only do so much. This applies to your belongings and your property. If your restoration team suggests that you replace your carpets or rebuild parts of your home, you’ll need to follow that advice. Experts know best, so trying to fix those belongings or structures yourself will mean you’ll only be tossing money out the window.

Be Careful with Clothing

It’s easy for soot to get into your clothing, just as it can get into your curtains. When you clean your clothes, don’t rub them, or throw them into the wash with the rest. Doing so will contaminate the rest of your clothing. If your SERVPRO team tells you that the damaged clothes are beyond repair, toss them and get new ones.
