Straight line winds nailed our tree!

Apparently, this poor tree couldn't withstand the high winds it was destined for unfortunately.  Thankfully no one was hurt, and our team managed to rescue the office furniture and electronics before too much rain came through the hole in the roof.

Smoke Damage Clean-Up - Act Quickly!

Smoke damage can wreak havoc in your home. Kitchen flare-ups, closed fireplace flues, and electrical fires can send smoke throughout your house, charring walls, covering everything and stinking up the place. The longer you let smoke and odors linger, the more they soak into walls, carpets, and furniture. So get to work and call the professionals at SERVPRO.  We have JUST what you'll need to remove that pesky odor and mess.

Understand the impact of smoke damage

Fire is dangerous. We all know that. But, did you know that the flames themselves might not be the greatest risk as far as health dangers and property damage? Fire smoke is the leading cause of fire deaths, exceeding burns by a three-to-one ratio. And while direct exposure to smoke is harmful to your respiratory system, it can also negatively affect your property’s structure, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Smoke from any type of fire is comprised of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and soot. Depending on what’s burning, many other harmful chemicals also enter the air, and are inhaled into your lungs or latch onto walls, furniture, clothing, ductwork, and other areas.  

In the end, while smoke damage may seem erratic and random, it’s all in the physics. Understanding this may help take the mystery out of an already stressful situation. If you experience smoke damage, call SERVPRO of Baldwin and Monroe today!

House fires will devastate - Are you prepared for the worst?

The most important step you can take to protect yourself and your family is to prevent a fire from happening. However, if one does break out, stay calm, get everyone out, and call for help immediately. After all, almost anything can be replaced except for your life.
