Steps to Take if a Fire Damage has Occured in Your Home
4/4/2022 (Permalink)
One of the best ways to combat smoek smell after a fire is to open windows and doors.
In the event of a house fire, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of the damage that has been done. Smoke from a fire can be one of the most damaging parts because it can cause serious respiratory problems not just for those in the immediate vicinity but also for people who live nearby or go into your home after the smoke has dissipated.
The first thing that you should do is call SERVPRO South Nashville (615) 331-0200 and they will come out and assess what needs to be done and how much it will cost. Once we know more about what caused your house to burn, we'll let you know if there are any additional precautions that need to be taken before cleaning up smoke damage.
You should turn off all of your filters and fans to minimize the amount of dust in the air.
You should also use a damp cloth or wet vacuum cleaner to clean up as much as you can.
Do NOT use a dry vacuum cleaner - it will create a lot of dust and you'll have to clean it up with a damp cloth anyway.
One of the best ways to combat smoke smell after a fire occurs is to open windows and turn on exhaust fans. If possible, unplug all of your air conditioning units for at least 24 hours so they can cool down without bringing in more hot air.
Once SERVPRO of South Nashville arrives we will begin remediation of your home to ensure that your home is back to its original state.

When a storm comes, you may need all the helping hands to fix your home. Your SERVPRO team is always ready to help!
Wind, rain, hail, tornadoes, and other elements can cause extensive damage to your home and property, so it’s always a good idea to be prepared for what Mother Nature throws your way. When you live in Nashville, TN, Mother Nature throws everything from thunderstorms and hurricane force winds to tornadoes. Being prepared for any severe storm scenario by following this guide will help you decrease your risk of water damage in the future.
Tornadoes in Nashville, TN
Everyone needs to know what to do to be prepared in case a tornado is spotted in your area. The first thing to understand is that tornadoes are unpredictable. They can happen any time of year although almost two-thirds of tornadoes take place in the spring months (March through June).
There have been about 500 tornadoes reported in the middle Tennessee region since the first tornado in 1833. In March 2020, a tornado ripped through the middle of Nashville, TN, bringing strong winds and heavy rains with it. This particular storm caused widespread damage that led to trees and power lines falling and 40,000 residents being left without power. The tornado that caused this outage was mostly north and east of the heart of downtown, sparing many of the city’s biggest tourism draws, instead hitting a large residential community.
Preparing for Spring Storms in Nashville, TN
Advance planning for thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, and floods requires specific safety precautions. Keep an emergency kit on hand that includes some essential items to get you through the storm and practice your emergency plan periodically to prepare for every type of severe weather. Show family members where the emergency supplies are stored, and make sure they know how to turn off the water, gas, and electricity in your home.
Having a High Quality Restoration Team on Speed Dial
Sometimes, no matter how much you prepare for thunderstorms, tornadoes, and floods in your area of Nashville, TN, Mother Nature will throw you a curve ball that leads to storm damage.

Delay Calling the Fire Department
When your property is on fire, calling the local fire department first may make the difference between life and death. Even if you aren't in severe danger and can simply leave the premises, making a call to the fire department as soon as the flames become out of control might be enough to save your house from being burned to a crisp.
Get the Heirlooms from Upstairs
In a fire, smoke and heat travel fast, blocking your escape option.
