Smoke or Fire Damage; Repair...Don't Replace.

3/29/2024 (Permalink)

Our expert technicians use a dry sponge technique to remove soot from the walls & ceilings in your home.

When fire strikes, the damage it causes can be overwhelming. A fire victim’s first instinct may be to preserve and clean whatever they can in an effort to salvage items of importance. However, attempting to clean the damage yourself can cause more harm than good. The cleanup and restoration experts at SERVPRO of Mid-Outer Cape are here to help 24/7 in case of fire damage. Before fire restoration professionals arrive, be sure to take the following steps to prevent further damage from setting in:

• Limit movement around the house to prevent the spread of soot
• Place clean linens and towels on rugs and upholstery
• Coat chrome appliances with oil or petroleum jelly
• Keep furniture legs from touching wet carpet by wedging wood blocks or aluminum foil under them
• Do not shampoo carpets and upholstery
• Do not wash walls and other painted surfaces
• Do not clean electronic appliances
• Do not dry clean clothing with smoke odor
