Cleaning up after fire damage in a New Haven home

If you have experienced fire damage in your New Haven, West Haven or Hamden home, here are some important things to know before SERVPRO gets there:

• Limit movement in the home to prevent further damage
• Place dry colorfast towels or old linens on carpeted traffic areas to prevent more soiling
• If the electricity is off, empty the freezer and refrigerator and prop the doors open
• Wipe soot from the chrome on kitchen and bathroom faucets and appliances then protect them with a light coating of lubricant.
• Do not attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces without first contacting SERVPRO
• Do not attempt to shampoo carpet or upholstered furniture without first consulting with SERVPRO
• Do not attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire or water without consulting a repair service.
