Preventing Fire Damage Before It Happens!

4/30/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford provides preventative measures to help stop fire damage in the first place.  One of the ways we do so is through hood cleaning services.  As food is prepared, the excess oil and grease evaporates into the hood system.  Without proper maintenance, this can build up and potentially cause a kitchen fire.  Our team will remove all signs of cooking residue and thoroughly clean your system to help prevent fire damage.

For commercial facilities, hood cleaning is required based on the volume of cooking use.  Small establishments may only need a cleaning annually, while a highly trafficked restaurant may need a cleaning as often as once a month.

To help ensure a safe cooking environment, filters should be replaced every two-three months for the utmost efficiency.  Cooking surfaces should be cleaned every day.  Keep any flammable materials away from the cooking area.

Another way that we can help to prevent fire damage involves the laundry area.  Dryer fires are very common.  We offer dryer vent cleanings, which are needed based on use.  As dirt and lint builds up, a clog can form in your dryer vent that can eventually cause a fire.  The more you use your dryer or the more pets you have, the more often you may need to have this cleaning performed.  Our cleaning professionals will remove all potential buildup in your dryer vent to help ensure a safer and more efficient system.

Should you suffer a fire, SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford provides 24/7 emergency fire damage services to the local area.  When an unexpected disaster occurs, our restoration team can handle any extent of smoke or soot damage.
