What to do after you've experienced a house fire

6/6/2022 (Permalink)

Fire damage can happen at any time in San Diego County.

We have seen with our years of experience how difficult it is for homeowners to process after fire damage to their home. If you experience an emergency fire damage in your Chula Vista home, we advise you to follow these 3 steps:

1. Make sure everyone is safe

If your family is all together, take a moment to see if anyone has been injured that you didn't notice. If you have pets, it is recommended that you take them to a Veterinarian as their lungs can be affected by smoke. Once everyone's health is in order, be sure to take a moment to clearly assess the situation.

2. Secure the house

If the fire has exposed multiple openings, the first priority for restoring your home is the deck. This is to prevent the property from deteriorating due to bad weather or unauthorized persons entering your home.

3. Call SERVPRO of Chula Vista

After talking with your insurance, call us because in these situations you will need professional help; because there may be asbestos in the debris, the structure may collapse, the air may be unsafe, and fires can still reignite under the debris.
