Q: Can I Stay in My Home After I Call For Emergency Services?

A: This is your decision. You have the freedom to stay if you want, but keep in mind the risks to your body are not always readily apparent. If there is extensive damage and you are exposed to a significant amount of carcinogenic soot, you’ll probably want to leave your home.

Any at-risk individuals such as pregnant women, those with asthma, or the elderly should definitely evacuate the property. It’s difficult to predict beforehand how long the restoration will take, so if you experienced a major fire, you should prepare for the scenario of being gone for a few weeks.

Essential Tips for Handling Fire and Smoke Damage

Here are some helpful tips on what you should do when you experience fire and smoke damage:

  • If the temperature is above 60 degrees, air out the house to reduce smoke odor.
  • Clean laminate surfaces as well as chrome, porcelain, and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.
  • Change the air filter on your furnace if it uses forced hot air.
  • Tape damp cheesecloth over returns and supply registers to capture loose soot in the air.
  • Discard any open food packages.
  • If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.
  • Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.

What not to do after a fire:

  • Do not touch anything with your bare hands. Oil from your hands can permeate upholstery, walls, and woodwork, causing additional damage.
  • Do not wash the walls. Incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
  • Do not attempt to clean carpets or upholstered furniture.
  • Do not use electrical appliances until having them checked.
  • Do not use ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet.
