6/6/2022 (Permalink)

Fires are traumatic experiences, even if they aren't very large. They can happen so fast and do so much damage in just a few minutes, leaving you with an extensive cleanup project at the very least. 

Smoke will linger in the air, soot will cover all your surfaces - creating an unhealthy environment - and any kitchen utensils or other burned materials will add to the hazardous situation. You can call the fire damage restoration specialists at SERVPRO of North Nashville at (615) 876 9551 to get immediate help; we're on standby 24 hours a day!

What Can I Do Myself To Recover From A Kitchen Fire Before The Professionals Arrive?

While you are waiting for SERVPRO of North Nashville to arrive, there are a few things you can do to start your recovery process:

After any fire damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first:

• Is it safe to stay in the house?
• Electrical and "slip and fall" hazards are the most prevalent concerns.
• Only do activities that are safe for you to perform.
• Wet materials can be very heavy. Be careful!

Your next steps should be:

• Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from becoming embedded into upholstery and carpets.
• Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls, and woodwork.
• Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas.
• If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open.
• Clean and protect chrome with a light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.
• Wash houseplants on both sides of the leaves.
• Change HVAC filter.
• Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers
