Tips on what NOT to do after a fire in Henderson

Fire damage is dirty, smelly, and cleaning up after a fire is best left to a professional restoration service. When my Henderson home suffered fire damage, my insurance adjuster told me to call SERVPRO^® of North Thornton/Brighton. My house was a disaster. There was soot and smoke damage and water damage left from the firefighting efforts. As much as I wanted to start cleaning, I’m glad I didn’t as I could have created a bigger mess!

Here are some tips for what NOT to do after a fire while waiting for help to arrive:

• Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us
• Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat, or water without consulting an authorized repair service
• Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat, or water
• Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.
• Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.
