Residential fire damage is surprisingly common in the United States. We say “surprisingly” because most of the fires are preventable. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has reported a slight downward trend in the number of fires, with a larger (but still small) downward trend in deaths and injuries. One reason for the decrease in deaths and injuries is that approximately 50% of residential fires in the United States start in the kitchen. Most kitchen fires remain confined to a cooking vessel, the oven, or the kitchen itself; homeowners can either extinguish the fire themselves or get to safety more easily than when a fire consumes the house.

As our technicians at SERVPRO of St. Clair Shores have seen, confined fires do not mean confined fire damage. Smoke and soot spread throughout the house, following air currents, rising upward, and moving through the air ducts regardless of whether the HVAC system is in use. Smoke and soot end up in enclosed spaces that are far from the original flames. Making things more complicated, the residue from different materials may show up at different rates, and it will require different cleaning solutions and techniques.

If a fire, large or small, has scorched any part of your house, call us as soon as you can. Our emergency services are always available, so call 586-741-5050; one of our team members will ask questions about the extent and type of damage, and we’ll be at your home as quickly as possible.
