A Largo Summer Gathering Goes Up in Flames
When you live in Largo, a summer gathering with friends is a must. The heat, longer days, and relaxed atmosphere provide a perfect setting to get together in a half-outdoors, half-indoors event. It is perfectly normal to set some citronella candles, a grill, and drinks on the patio and then walk in and out of the air-conditioned living room throughout the evening. What you cannot plan is the billowing curtains catching fire from the citronella candle, causing flames to enter your home and leave a mark on your kitchen while you search for the fire extinguisher to bring the fire under control.
Even as the party resumes, you can already see that your kitchen needs help. Fire damage to your Largo home is a problem best left to a professional team, such as SERVPRO. Before you attempt to clean the smoke and soot remains with storebought abrasive cleaners, it is best to consult with our fire restoration experts and have them guide you through the process. By enlisting our expert help, you can prevent subsequent damage caused during the cleanup process.
Our SERVPRO technicians excel at their job because they train in industry best-practices both in a classroom setting and on the job. They understand the principles behind the physical and chemical aspects of the fire and have seen them in action on the field. As soon as you call us, we can take targeted steps to remediate your damage and leave your kitchen in pristine condition. Before we arrive, help us mitigate your losses by taking the following steps:
-Isolate your kitchen as much as possible to prevent airborne particles from traveling to other parts of your home
-Remove items unaffected by the fire and extinguishing agents to preserve them
-Use protective equipment such as gloves when handling the residue
Upon arrival, we can take over and apply industry-grade cleaning solutions made specifically for each surface we clean. We always pre-test surfaces, hard, porous, or fabric, before cleaning with our products. Our SERVPRO crew understands the nature of each flammable item (organic vs. manmade products) and applies products accordingly. Failure to address each item individually can cause irreversible damage by applying the wrong cleaning solution.
SERVPRO of Largo is ready to get your summer back on track. Just call us at (727) 586-0060 even if your damage does not appear extensive. Together, we can leave your home, "Like it never even happened."
