Steps to Take if a Fire Damage has Occured in Your Home

roof/windows smoke 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.

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. After a storm has passed, if you notice that your property has been devastated by water damage, its essential that you act quickly to call the trusted team at SERVPRO of South Nashville at 615-331-0200 to assess your property from bottom to top.

Jump from an Upstairs Window

It should be obvious that this is the case. Even if you fall only from the second floor, you will most likely be too injured to walk away from the accident. If you can't climb down the stairs to flee your home fire, use blankets as a rope and mattress to cushion the fall or, even better, use a purpose-built escape

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. If you're on the bottom floor, keep in mind that the chance of being trapped increases with every second you spend going up the stairs. This is why it's important to store all of your valuables securely away in a safe or fireproof container. So you can

This step is crucial to developing a plan of action that we will follow throughout the remaining steps of the restoration process.

Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
