Most people have heard that you should document all of the items in your home. But very few people do it. The reason is for insurance purposes. If you were to have a fire, you would have pictures and documentation on your items. It would be extremely challenging to try and remember every single item you have in your home. 

As homeowners we put a lot of sentimental value on our personal items. After a major fire damage the thought of replacing everything you love can be overwhelming. SERVPRO of West Evansville has the training to restore your personal items instead of replacing them. But what can you do until help arrives?

Here are some tips on how you can help after a fire damage.

- Limit movement in the house to prevent soot particles from spreading and causing additional damage.

- DO NOT wash any walls or painted services.

- DO NOT shampoo carpet or upholstery.

- DO NOT send clothing to a dry cleaner. With fire damage certain steps need to be taken to ensure that smoke odor does not set into clothing.

The first 48 hours after a fire damage can make the difference in restoring your items and replacing them. Call SERVPRO of West Evansville to help with your fire damage. We can't wait to serve you!
