In honor of Fire Prevention Week, here are 3 tips to help prevent fire:
1. Avoid unattended or careless use of candles.
2. Do not disable smoke or CO detectors. These are life saving devices that will give you an early warning to a life threatening event.
3. Do not leave your cooking unattended. Cooking is the number one cause of residential fires. Unattended cooking increases the chance of a stove top fire. Watch what you heat and never overheat cooking oils.
Fire Pit Safety - Avoid burning leaves, pine needles, and other fast burning materials. They turn into flying embers that can damage outdoor furniture or start wildfires.
Our expertly trained technicians can simplify the restoration process by handling both the initial damage mitigation and rebuilding the affected areas.
Sources of dry smoke residue are wood and paper. Some dry smoke characteristics are: 1. Oxygen rich, fast burning 2. Does not smear easily 3. Does not penetrate as deep 4. More sources in restoration

Avoid disaster. New rugs are often treated with a chemical wash to brighten colors. If a chemical wash was too strong, it could loosen the dye and wash out. Pre-test a small area to avoid a big problem.
Wooden cutting boards, trash cans, behind the stove (where food crumbs fall) and windows and window sills in the kitchen are like heaven for mold spores. They feed off of these places, so keeping them clean and dry is critical for keeping mold at bay.

Today, we thank all the great meteorologists that keep our teams updated on the latest weather conditions when disaster strikes.
It's Burn Awareness Week. This week gives us the opportunity to educate our community on the importance of fire safety. Tips to avoid burns:
-Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges. Keep hot liquids away from babies and small children. Put drinks and soups in the center of the table away from curious fingers.
-Use the back burners of the stove top to prevent children from reaching up and touching hot pots and pans. Turn pot and pan handles toward the back of the stove so they cannot be easily reached or tipped.
-Be sure to turn off unattended hot appliances such as irons or hair straighteners. Turn off hot items such as heating pads or blankets off before going to sleep.
-Don’t wear loose clothing near fire, grills or stoves.
There are 3 Mold Prevention steps to add to a commercial property's yearly maintenance plan:

2. Address Water Damage Immediately
3. Improve Air Quality
