After 911, Call SERVPRO® of Columbia County
After the firefighters have left your residence and you are looking at the carnage the fire created, SERVPRO® of Columbia County knows how overwhelming that situation can be. Most homeowners feel that extinguishing the fire was the easy part. But here at SERVPRO® we help you take back control that the fire may have taken from you. Here are a few “first steps/tips” we advise you and your family to follow until our SERVPRO® technicians and crews arrive on scene:
- Limit excessive movement in your home to avoid soot particles from spreading and creating unnecessary additional damage.
- Do not wash any walls or painted surfaces.
- Do not shampoo or clean carpets or any upholstery.
- Do not send clothing to a dry cleaner, as washing clothing improperly after a fire can set the odor in permanently.
- Coat any faucets, trim and appliances with petroleum jelly or oil.
