-Emergency pre-cleaning by a professional is always
recommended-
- Contact your insurance carrier immediately.
- In the event of a major loss, contact an emergency service vendor
(ServiceMaster of Vancouver 360-696-1311) to secure the property.
Firemen often have to cut vent holes in roofs and break windows to fight the
fire. We don't want rain causing more damage than already done.
Possibly most importantly when you have a fire, and the fire department
has been called out it goes in the newspaper. Criminals have been
known to watch to this to happen in order to loot the vacant home.
An initial pack out of valuables might be a wise idea to deter theft.
- Brass fixtures need cleaning immediately. Soot is caustic and can
cause irreversible damage to brass enameled surfaces.
- Porcelain items and fixtures need cleaning immediately. Soot is
caustic and can cause irreversible damage to fine china, sinks, toilets,
showers and collectibles.
- Do not touch porcelain with your bare hands, as the oil on
your hand may cause the soot to set in the item permanently.
- Do not touch any precious metals with your bare hands, as the oil
on your hand may cause the soot to set in permanently.
- Call for help!! Many home owners choose not to file a claim in the
event of a small kitchen fire. If you're getting overwhelmed with
doing it yourself, that's what we're here for. We're only a call away.
