Fire Damage Repair Services in Yorba Linda

When an unexpected house fire erupts in your Yorba Linda, California, home, the last thing you want to think about is the daunting task of fire damage repair. SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda specializes in the fire damage repair and cleanup process. After a fire there may be visible traces of the fire such as ash, soot, and damaged appliances. Even if the interior of a home looks like it has not been affected, there may still be signs of smoke damage throughout: either from its pungent odor or via carbon monoxide, which is both clear and odorless. In addition, the smell of smoke can get in your hair, make you feel nauseous, and irritate your nose, eyes, and throat.

According to the United States Fire Administration, an estimated 1,800 fatal residential building fires are reported to U.S. fire departments each year and cause an estimated 2,635 deaths, 725 injuries, and $196 million in property loss (www.usfa.fema.gov/). Instead of paying an arm and a leg to restore damaged property, contact SERVPRO and let an experienced technician conduct a thorough investigation to evaluate the damage and discuss the best, most cost efficient plan of action to get things back to normal again.

The USFA points out that most residential fires occur in the bedroom. Here are some tips to prevent fires:

• Install a new smoke alarm: Make sure your home has a working, properly installed smoke alarm. Experts speculate that 2/3 of fires take place in a residence without a smoke alarm.

• Blow out your candles:  Approximately one-half of fire deaths are due to candles that were not blown out between midnight and 6 am. December has the highest fire fatalities due to candles.

• Install home fire sprinklers: Home sprinklers are helpful because they reduce the power of the fire by quenching the blaze earlier.
