The devastation of a fire in your Attica home or business can leave you feeling helpless and confused. 

You should first call the fire damage professionals at SERVPRO of Huron & East Seneca Counties! We'll be onsite immediately to start your fire damage restoration process. 

You can do some things while waiting for us to arrive and get more information by reading our Fire Brochure. Below you will find our list of fire damage do's and don'ts.

What Do I Do After A Fire?

• Limit the movement in your home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets.
• Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls, and woodwork.
• Place clean towels or old linens on your rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas.
• If the electricity is off, empty the freezer and refrigerator and prop the doors open.
• Clean and protect chrome with a light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.
• Wash houseplants on both sides of their leaves.
• Change your HVAC filter.
• Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers.

What Should I Avoid Doing After A Fire?

• Please don't attempt to wash walls, painted surfaces, or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us.
• Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that were close to fire, heat, or water without consulting your authorized fire damage repair service.
• Avoid using canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near fire, heat, or water.
• Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet; the wiring may be damaged.
• Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.
