October marks Fire Prevention Month, and while we all focus on ways to avoid fires, it’s just as important to know what comes after. If a fire strikes your home, the first step is caution. Don’t re-enter until first responders give the all-clear, and be mindful of hidden dangers like weakened structures, electrical hazards, or heavy water-soaked debris.
Once it’s safe, the repair process begins. Fire damage restoration isn’t just about cleaning up soot. It often involves removing debris, addressing water left from firefighting, repairing damaged walls or roofs, and carefully eliminating lingering smoke odor. Every home is different, so repairs are tailored to the extent of the damage. The goal is always to bring your space back to normal as safely and quickly as possible.
If you need help after a fire, call SERVPRO of West Greenville County. We’re ready to respond 24/7.
