Our fire and smoke restoration process is complete and thorough. We start with pre-cleaning your residential or commercial property. This includes cleaning appliances, metals, walls, glass, ceramics, fixtures, and any other surface that has been affected by soot, smoke and water. Since soot has a complex chemical makeup, we have the specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to ensure your property and personal items are cleaned and restored to their original conditions.  In some cases pack-out services will be needed. This means carefully transporting your larger items to our warehouses to be cleaned there. Once this cleaning is done, we will apply a protective coating to metals and special surfaces to prevent harmful soot to permanently etch and destroy your valuables. 

Fire damage can cause extensive damage to any size property.  Here at ServiceMaster ofAlexandria, VA we understand the extent of this damage and are here to help you through these difficult times. If you experience a fire and need restoration, don’t hesitate to call us at (703) 596-3171.

Fire Safety, Alexandria, VA

Fire safety is crucial to any home or business. It ensures that your family members or employees are safe and secure. Depending on if you run a business or if you just want a fire safe house, there are different precautions to take.

Fire Safety Tips

- Check smoke detectors every 2 months. If batteries are low, a chirping will sound, but if your alarm is defected, that detection won't go off.
- Always keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen. Grease fires and kitchen fires can start all too often. Having an extinguisher handy will minimize fire exponentially.
- Loose curtains should be tied back if they are around your stove.
- This goes hand in hand when cooking, tie back any loose hair or clothing that can easily catch fire.
- Outside cooking can be dangerous as well. Cooking on decks can be hazardous if you don't 'fire safe'. Always place a fire safe mat under your grill while moving it away from house walls.  It is always a great idea to keep another fire extinguisher outside as well.

These couple of fire safety tips can help you prepare your home in case of emergencies. If you do experience fire damage, don't hesitate to call us, ServiceMaster of Alexandria, VA at (703) 596-3171.

Here at ServiceMaster of Alexandria, we pride ourselves in the idea of green cleaning.
