Fire, Smoke Damage Deserve Professional Attention
	Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook… Fires in the home can be among the most devastating events to ever happen. Whether there was minimal smoke damage or large scale fire damage, the first gut reaction is to begin the cleanup efforts yourself.

Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook
	One professional company in the area, Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook, asks that residents reconsider that decision and have specialists come in to do the job correctly.

Do-It-Yourself can be hazardous...
	“We understand the desire to begin cleanup immediately, particularly if the damage is small. Especially with the ‘do-it-yourself’ crowd, it’s common place to bring out every cleaning product they have and start to work,” says Marcus and Tracy Smith, local Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook franchise owners.

SERVPRO® is a nationally franchised professional fire and water cleanup and restoration company in the Downers Grove & Oak Brook area.
	"But while we can appreciate wanting to start that initial cleanup, Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook suggests that homeowners have a professional company handle it.”

Contrary to popular belief, “smoke and fire damage is very difficult to clean,” says Marcus Smith
	“Household cleaning products are simply not powerful enough to dissolve sticky soot and residue. Beyond the soot and residue, odors from even a small fire can linger in your home for years if not properly mitigated.”

Health Concerns...
	While organizations such as FEMA, Red Cross and the CDC offer tips on how individuals can take care of fire cleanup, they also note that there is a level of health concern for those who initiate cleanup.

By its very nature, smoke is hard to contain.

When it gets sucked into heating and air-conditioning systems or blown around by ceiling fans, smoke and soot damage from even the smallest fire can end up in every room in your house. And as anyone who’s spent a night next to a campfire can tell you, the smell of smoke is pretty pervasive. It gets into clothing, upholstery, carpets – you name it. This also means that smoke can easily get into your lungs and cause breathing problems.

Even for the healthiest person, breathing in any amount these dangerous particles can pose serious concerns.
	A professional company, like Servpro® of Downers Grove & Oak Brook, has the people trained to do the job right.”

We are here for you 24 / 7
	In the event of a small fire in your home, a knee-jerk reaction is not necessarily the right one. According to fire cleanup specialists, the following procedures are recommended.

The Do's and Don'ts of Fire Damage

1. Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being imbedded into upholstery and carpets. 2. Blow or brush-vacuum loose soot particles from upholstery, drapes and carpets. 3. Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery and carpet traffic areas. 4. If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open. 5. Change HVAC filter. 6. Do not attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces without first contacting a professional. 7. Do not attempt to shampoo carpet or upholstered furniture without first consulting a professional. 8. Do not attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat or water without first consulting an authorized repair service. 9. Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet. Wiring may be wet or damaged.
