Fire Dangers at Home

Fires create smoke and soot. These elements are microscopic and may contain carcinogens which are not safe to inhale or touch. Fire cleanup is not a DIY project and should only be performed by trained professionals.

  • Do not breathe in fire smoke.
  • Do not stay in a compromised building.
  • Do not consume food or medication that were near the smoke.

Fire and Flood Restoration Often Go Hand-in-Hand

Water damage results when firefighting efforts are needed. The dynamic of fire and water damage make the restoration process more complicated and urgent.

    • Mold Growth starts in less than 72 hours.
    • Water Damage Remediation happens after your property has been cleared by the fire department and roof tarping and board-up are complete.
    • Wet Clothing, Shoes, and Textiles are removed immediately and taken to our Esporta Wash facility for sanitation.

  • Clean and protect chrome with light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.
  • Wash houseplants on both sides of leaves.
