Q: What is the first step in fire damage restoration?

• <div><p>The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you&rsquo;ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the most common cause of kitchen fires?

• <div><p>The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop. </p></div>

Q: How much does major damage repair cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of the damage and affected areas.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't clean your chimney?

• <div><p>Neglecting to clean your chimney can lead to serious safety hazards. A primary risk is the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable substance that can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire. This buildup can also create blockages in the flue, resulting in poor venting of smoke, soot, and toxic gases like carbon monoxide, which can then enter your home and create dangerously poor indoor air quality. Additionally, creosote is acidic and can damage the chimney's mortar and metal components over time, potentially allowing smoke to leak into your house. To prevent these issues, it is essential to schedule an annual chimney cleaning with a professional.</p></div>

Q: Can you use flour to put out an electrical fire?

• <div><p>Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. </p></div>
