Skilled Restoration After a Grease Fire

1/4/2024 (Permalink)

Did you know that cooking happens to be one of the most common causes of a kitchen fire? Out of those fires, the highest risk comes from frying foods. A grease fire in your property is dangerous because it can get out of control quickly. While prevention is critical, SERVPRO® is always available 24/7 when you need help handling the cleanup after a grease fire or any blaze within your home or business. We make it “Like it never even happened.”

Before you need to call us for fire restoration in Culpeper & Fauquier, these are some helpful tips to remember to help prevent a fire in your kitchen:

• Always cook in a clean area and clean up any spills on your cooktop once it cools. Greasy exhaust hoods or stovetops can catch fire easily.
• Never leave your food unattended while cooking, as it can take minutes for cookware to scorch or boil over.
• Always have a lid within reach, and a fire extinguisher handy should flame erupt. 

Did you know? It is best that you have at least three fire extinguishers readily accessible in your home!

When you call SERVPRO® to handle the fallout of a kitchen fire, there are bound to be pungent odors from burnt proteins. We have specialized methods to break through the most challenging, stickiest soot residue to clean surfaces and remove odors. Our team wipes down cabinetry, discards all food items, and cleans appliances. In some situations, it is best to replace your microwave if it is positioned above the stove, as it will be counterproductive to have a repair team fix it.

A fire in your kitchen can be scary, but SERVPRO of Culpeper & Fauquier is here for prompt fire restoration service! Call us at (540)423-6688 or request help online.
