Common Questions Morris Plains Homeowners Have After Fire Damage

According to the FEMA-run, Ready.gov, the likelihood of a home having a destructive fire is roughly 1 in 3000. The number one reason for fire damage is something most people do every day: cooking. 

Homeowners in Morris Plains with fire damage often feel overwhelmed looking at the loss left behind in their home from something as simple as dinner gone wrong, much less what to do about it. 

First Actions to Take After Fire Loss in the Home

• Confirm with the fire department on-site if it is safe for anyone to enter the property.
• If the electricity is not already off and it is safe to do so, turn off the main panel in your home. This action stops the sparking of fires within walls and other areas, causing additional damage.
• Do not run your HVAC even if it was a small-sized fire in the home. If you still smell smoke, the odor has the potential to spread via ductwork.
• Close off the fire loss area in the home if possible.
• Bring in a professional company to clean up and restore the house from fire loss. 

Comprehensive Reports Assist in Filing Insurance Claims

SERVPRO technicians create detailed reports that include photos and a full description of whether the item was a loss or underwent restorative efforts for reuse. Having these reports helps expedite the filing of insurance claims. The technicians also give recommendations for any needed repairs or reconstruction that the home needs to attain pre-fire damage loss status.
