Fire Damage Restoration And Move Outs In Your Lilburn Home

At any time, fires from a failed appliance are a devastating disaster for your Lilburn home. Recovering and cleaning up after a fire can leave you feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. However, the longer you hesitate, the more damage is done to your property by the settled soot and smoke. The acidity in these particles continues to damage your structure and possessions until it is cleaned up.

Whether the fire damage in your Lilburn home resulted from a microwave, outdated wiring, or a dryer vent, you need professional help from a remediation company. Our staff at SERVPRO understand that this is a traumatic event for you and your family, and we work efficiently and tirelessly to ensure you a cleanup process that is less stressful for you.

Dryers are one of those appliances that you can set it and then walk away. However, it is not a good idea to ever turn your dryer on and then leave home. A buildup of lint is a widespread cause for fires being ignited in your dryer. Cleaning out the lint from the trap each time you use the machine is a must, plus you need to clean out the vent regularly as well.

During the restoration process, SERVPRO staff take some of your possessions to be stored and then cleaned. After cleaning is done, contents are stored again until the repair and restoration of your home are finished. There are things we keep in mind when storing your contents, including allowing aisles so we can easily access your items. Also, contaminated, dirty boxes are kept in a separate area from items which have been cleaned to avoid them being soiled again. All items are also tagged and sorted separately from boxed contents.

Even though a majority of storage areas give limited access, valuable items and electronics are stored in a separate secure locked area that requires a sign-in sheet to get access. We do not use plastic to cover your furniture, as high humidity can result in condensation underneath the plastic, affect any finishes or varnish. In hot weather, the plastic covers can stick to furniture and bond with the varnish.

Microwaves can also begin a fire in your home when the food in it overheats, inappropriate items are put in the microwave to heat, routine maintenance and cleaning hasn’t been performed, or the wiring is faulty. Your regular oven, overloaded circuits, and old wires can also be fire hazards. Be sure to monitor all these items in your home and replace any old or faulty wires.
