Middletown Homeowners – Avoid Fire Damage in Advance
1/23/2022 (Permalink)
Always Protect Your Middletown Property, But SERVPRO is Here for Fire Damage
Many fire damaged homes could have been saved sooner if they had working fire alarms installed. Efficient, reliable smoke detectors installed throughout your Middletown home can protect it, your family, and pets from severe fire damage. SERVPRO would like you to know that we are always available around the clock should a disaster strike, but we also want area residents to be safe.
When it comes to fire damage in Middletown, SERVPRO has our Green Fleet ready to deploy within hours of your call. We get to work as soon as possible, restoring versus replacing your materials wherever possible. In the meantime, you should always be proactive to keep your home and family protected. While a smoke detector cannot keep a fire from igniting, it will help you minimize dangers and damage.
Preparedness is Vital
As a homeowner, these are steps you can take in the future to help prevent a fire from overtaking your home. For example, these are some helpful smoke alarm safety tips:
- Have smoke detectors installed throughout each level of your home
- Do not install alarms too close to the kitchen as it can lead to false activation
- Always test smoke alarms monthly with the test button
- Replace smoke alarm batteries once a year – if you hear any of them chirping, this means the battery is low, and it should get replaced as soon as possible
- If your smoke alarms are ten years or older, it is time to replace them
Should you experience a fire, get in touch with your insurance provider and our team at SERVPRO of North Orange County and SERVPRO of South Orange County as soon as possible. We can deploy our fire damage crew to begin assessments and restoration to make your home “Like it never even happened.” We can be reached 24-7 for emergency response at (845) 342-3333.
