Preventing Fire Damage To Your Home In Durham

It is not uncommon to watch the news and see a home affected by fire damage and you always hope it never happens to you. Electrical fires can be the cause of the disaster, but very often we can help control the onset of a fire ourselves just by being cautious in our own home. As always, being proactive is the first line of defense in avoiding a disaster.

At SERVPRO we want to help you avoid fire damage to your Durham home, and we recommend being vigilant about any open flames you have in and around your home. Whether you light a scented candle or barbecue with your friends, you must always be careful of open fires and keep them away from any curtains or other materials that might easily burn. On top of your own caution, it is important to install smoke detectors throughout your home so you may quickly take action to ensure the safety of your family and home.

However, what do you do when a fire actually happens, and you are left to deal with the aftermath? Our SERVPRO team is equipped and trained to address the remaining smoke damage and soot resulting from the fire, as well as any water damage caused when flames were extinguished. By using specialized techniques and equipment, we do our best to clean each surface and restore it to its original state. When you see our team in action you will observe that each item is cleaned in a different way depending on its composition and condition- we may use a foam cleaner on upholstery while we will use a spray on other surfaces. All of this is done deliberately and based on industry best practices and our own expertise.

Once we have been able to remove as much of the damage as possible, it may be time to deodorize your home, an important step in returning everything to how it was. At SERVPRO we rely on the latest advances to achieve this final step, including ozone technology to essentially neutralize the odors in your home.

At SERVPRO of North Durham, we hope you will never experience a fire in your home. However, we are ready to spring into action 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should your home fall victim to fire damage. Reach out by calling (919) 467-0880, and we will dispatch our team and equipment to your home as quickly as possible.
