SERVPRO of West Hartford was called when a local hardware store went up in flames after being crashed into by a car. Within an hour of the fire being extinguished, we were on the scene to cover up the six shattered storefront windows and the four holes that were put in the roof from the accident. The next day we were back to clean up the broken glass and board off the damaged area of the shop, so it could open for business. We proceeded in cleaning, removing smoke smell and soot damage, and tested for asbestos. We transported the surviving furniture and equipment to our warehouse to be cleaned and restored, and used moisture-removing dehumidifiers and negative air machines on the site before completing the construction repairs on the roof and remainder of the damaged space. The hardware store was back up and running within just 10 days. Quick action prevented high insurance costs and lost revenue.

Here at SERVPRO of West Hartford, we’re frequently thinking about fire safety. If you’ve been on the scene of hundreds of house fires, you probably are too. So many of the homes we’ve restored could have easily been prevented from suffering fire and smoke damage, had their residents been just a little bit more careful. Teach your children about the dangers of using matches, lighters, and flammable liquids recklessly or without supervision. Make sure gasoline, paint thinners, kerosene, and other flammable liquids are stored away from other flammable materials, and in proper containers. When you're cooking, don't leave the kitchen. While these guidelines sound easy and straight-forward, a surprising amount of people still don’t follow them.
