How Keeping Your East Brunswick, Residence Warm can Result in Fire Damaged Areas

Using the furnace in your East Brunswick home tends to heat the entire home. At different times, however, you might want only certain areas to feel warmer than other places. This desire might come from a lack of use in certain rooms, an infant or elderly family member who requires additional warmth, or cold spots in the structure.

SERVPRO can assist your family with restoration of your house in East Brunswick after fire damage occurs, but preventing such disasters is preferable. Space heaters are generally safe to use when the unit is in good working order, but even new ones can have faulty parts and construction. Inspecting each unit before every use can keep worn cords, bent wires, or other conditions from causing overheating and fires.

Some families run a burner on the stove to keep the kitchen warm for anyone needing a late-night snack. This might seem harmless, especially if doing so is a long-time habit. A family pet or other accident can cause a fire to spread to other areas of the kitchen, and even throughout your house.

Fire damage also includes puff back from a dying furnace. Not only does this leave your family home with a fine layer of soot on all surfaces, it can leave you with decreased heating efficiency, increasing your monthly bills. Soot from a heating fuel source can end up on fingers and hands from handling things, as well as remain in the air, possibly leading to unwanted health effects.

Fire damage can range from slight to severe, including:
    •    Fine soot
    •    Heavy smoke odors
    •    Remnant chemical traces from incomplete combustion
    •    Blistered paint and charred materials
    •    Water from extinguishing flaming materials.

SERVPRO can help your family prevent fire damage, mitigate and restore areas of your home with charred and burned materials, or clean up existing soot deposits, making your home safe and clean for your family’s health and comfort.
