ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON CANDLES BURNING!

Always watch candles burning in your home!

Everyone can get distracted by their work or home chores, but it is never a good thing when this distraction has the potential to lead to fire damage. There are plenty of reasons to use a candle in your home including aromatherapy to destress, but it is never a smart idea to leave the room that a candle is burning in for an extended period. A pet or a child could accidentally knock it over and even though the flame is small, it has the potential to create a fire and leave behind damage.

Your home can still suffer damage from small fires even if you put it out before it spreads to another room. Curtains, tablecloths, & napkins can still all burn up quickly when in contact with a fire of a small nature. As the fire spreads from object to object, it can grow in magnitude. The blaze can leave soot, ash and discoloration behind, but a professional restoration company can help remediate these problems.

SERVPRO strives to get to your home as quickly as possible after your call. The longer that greasy soot stains stay in contact with the wood of your table, or the paint of your walls, the higher the chance to discolor your belongings. The sooner a professional can begin remediating the damage, the easier it is to return your possessions to you in their preloss condition.
