    THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE DAMAGES

    Our team will handle any fire damage and will help you to restore your property to its previous state.
    EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES

    Any heat-generating item (heaters, toasters, stoves, coffee makers, clothes dryers) or item that gets hot after prolonged use (fans, computers, etc) has the potential to be a fire hazard. If cooking containers are left unattended, they can also trigger a fire that is otherwise avoidable.

    ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS

    Any device powered by electricity can potentially start a fire, and lighting equipment that overheats is the most common of these items. Inadequate electrical work in a house or business— incorrect grounding, loose wires, improperly connected circuits — is also an often unrecognized threat to homeowners.

    GAS AND CHEMICALS

    Sources of propane gas and natural gas can easily trigger house fires. An accidental spark mixed with a minor leak can cause a combustible issue. Inadequately mixed household chemicals may also cause combustion, making it crucial to execute such activities outdoors.

    CHIMNEYS

    Chimneys may trigger fires if soot is not properly cleaned or disposed of. Regular chimney maintenance may be scheduled in order to help to avoid this risk.

    HOLIDAY DECORATIONS

    Although candles are a major trigger of dangerous fires throughout the winter holiday season, Christmas tree lights and various lighted decorations are also triggers. If live trees do not receive proper watering, they may dry out and become an easy target for hot lights to incinerate.

    SMOKING

    House fires are often caused by negligence from smokers. In some circumstances, people fall asleep smoking and their couch, chari, or bed may catch fire in the process, quickly resulting in death. Disposing of ashes from ashtrays while they are still hot can ignite fires in wastebaskets as well.

    LIGHTNING

    During summer months, early evening or afternoon lightning storms are in peak season and may cause fires. Homes near forests or other areas with many trees are especially vulnerable to strikes of lightning that may ignite the surrounding landscape.

    FIREPLACE OUTSIDE / BBQ GRILL

    Summertime increases this risk with the amount of time spent outdoors. Proximity to combustible items such as dry grass or even a grass leak can cause a barbecue grill to have an uncontrollable flame. The likelihood of such issues occurring can be reduced by placing the grill on tile, cement, stone or another fireproof base.

    NATURAL DISASTERS

    Varied natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, storm surges, and electrical shorts may cause any of the above issues as well as various others that lead to devastating fire. One must be on alert during such situations in order to attempt damage reduction.

    Fire Damage Restoration Process

    MCKINLEY FIRE DAMAGE RESTORATION CHICAGO - YOUR STEP-BY-STEP RESCUE

    The fire restoration process may involve many things depending on the type of damage.
    Take a look at what we offer and how these services are accomplished in McKinley Co.

    What to do after a fire is extinguished:

    You will want to prevent cross contamination, by limiting the movement in and around the fire affected area. Soot particles can easily move through the home when there is too much movement in the affected area. These particles can quickly become embedded in upholstery and carpets. This will prolong cleanup efforts and make it even harder to get rid of odors.

    Fire affected areas can be located where limiting movement can be challenging. In this case cover up the vulnerable areas as best as you can to allow some movement. Place towels, rugs or old linens over the floor, carpets and upholstery. This will ensure that the areas underneath the coverings are temporarily protected from further damage.

    If your electricity is off and will likely remain off for an extended period, empty your fridge and freezer and prop the doors open. It is important that your fridge/freezer is allowed to air out, to prevent nasty smells from setting in and for mold to grow.
    Check if your house plants have been affected by the fire. If you notice that the leaves are covered in fire residue, they will need to be cleaned to once again “breathe” properly. Gently wipe the leaves clean with a soft, clean and damp cloth. Check the leaves after they have dried and if necessary, clean them a second time.
    One of your post-fire priorities will no doubt be to clean the air of smoke and other impurities. Change your HVAC filter as soon as possible to assist you with this process. Depending on the size of the fire you experienced, it may take a while for the air to be completely clear and refreshed. We recommend that you change your HVAC filter regularly, during this period.
    Depending on the severity of the fire, you need to ensure that your house is safe to enter. Structural and electrical safety needs to be determined before you can start planning the cleanup process.

    What NOT to do after a fire is extinguished:

    Wait before washing your walls, carpets, upholstery or other painted surfaces. Using incorrect cleaning materials or detergents can lead to more damage or in some cases it can lead to irreversible damage. First contact your local SERVPRO to discuss the details of the fire and get sound advice on your next step in the cleanup process. The exact cause of the fire will have an influence on how you should go about restoring your home post-fire.
    It is very important that you first contact an authorized repair service before you attempt to clean electrical appliances, computers, or other digital equipment. This is especially important if any of these appliances were close to the fire, heat or water. By attempting to clean these items before contacting a relevant repair authority, you may cause further damage.
    Do not take any chances with your health and avoid consuming food or drink that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water. It is not worth the risk and can cause health problems. Rather get rid of any fresh, canned or packaged food and beverages that could have been adversely affected by the fire.
    The fire could have caused electrical damage in the house. Switching on lights or other wall or ceiling fixtures, may cause further damage to your electrical systems or even be the cause of a new fire. Do not put your home at further risk and rather wait to receive the all-clear from an inspector or electrician.
    Your clothes should not be sent to an ordinary dry cleaner, after a fire. If clothes are not treated properly with special care, the odor may set. The best care for your clothes after a fire, is to hand wash them. Alternatively, check with local laundry specialists if they have experience with removing fire smells and residue.
    Avoid touching soot covered items with your bare hands. Oils from your skin can mix with the soot and cause permanent stains. Wear gloves when you need to touch items or surfaces covered in soot.
