An accidental structure fire is very concerning for homeowners and property managers all year-round, and now that winter is here, it is a good time to make certain you are properly prepared. The rate of home fires rise during the winter. So it is important to be watchful. A few things you can do now to ensure the safety of your family.

1. Establish and practice a fire escape plan with all members of your home.
2. Guarantee that your smoke detectors are working.
3. Make sure everyone knows how to call 9-1-1.

Our fire technicians here at SERVPRO of Longview/Kelso are highly trained in fire cleanup and restoration to handle your home, your contents, and air quality. Ensuring the cleanup is thorough and your family items are fully restored to their pre-fire conditions.

Structural damage from a fire can affect almost every aspect of a home, including floors, walls and ceilings and the first 48 hours after a fire can make the difference between restoring versus replacing your property and personal belongings. By performing initial testing, we can determine the severity of the damage and what equipment we will need to utilize for clean up restoration.

Using wet and dry cleaning equipment, we are able to restore many of your home’s contents during the process as well. This is often more cost-effective than replacing your items and allows you to keep your belongings intact. We can fully clean and deodorize many items, such as kitchen wares, furniture, collectibles, and much more

The lingering odors from a fire are not just a nuisance they can be dangerous too, making it vital that the air is scrubbed and purified properly following a fire. Thankfully, we have the technology and expertise to handle this for you, so you do not have to worry about the health of your family due to poor air quality in the home.
