As we observe National Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12, 2024), it’s a great time to ensure your home and business are fire-safe. Here are some crucial tips: Test Smoke Alarms Monthly – Make sure they are fully functional. Create an Escape Plan – Ensure everyone knows the quickest exit. Keep Flammable Items Away from Heat Sources – Be mindful of stoves, space heaters, and candles. Inspect Electrical Systems Regularly – Faulty wiring is a common cause of fires. Keep Fire Extinguishers Accessible – Know how to use them in case of emergency.

In this photo you can see our amazing fire team hard at work on another residential fire cleaning job.  After a small fire in this home, much of the ceiling throughout the home was covered in a thin black layer of soot.  Smooth ceilings can simply be cleaned/wiped down and repainted.  The ceilings in this home however were blown "popcorn" ceilings.  In this case, they must be scraped and then cleaned/wiped down before painting.  At SERVPRO of Mobile County, our crews have undergone extensive training in not only IICRC approved fire restoration methods, but also in the importance of protecting contents from damage in the process.  This picture shows the dining room table and chairs being carefully covered and encapsulated to ensure that it doesn't get damaged during the ceiling scraping process. 

When you experience water damage or fire damage in your home it can be one of the most stressful events you will ever go through.  There are often many steps in the restoration process beginning with mitigation and ending with the reconstruction. Luckily at SERVPRO of Mobile County, we will be with you every step of the way.  We have worked tirelessly to perfect our processes and service offerings to ensure a seamless process for you.  Should your structure be affected, your contents (belongings) may have to be moved out while repairs are made. We utilize state of the art iCAT inventory system to track your contents as they are carefully packed into boxes.  Once boxed they are transported back to our climate controlled storage facility to be cleaned and stored until you are ready for delivery. 

This was the aftermath of a kitchen fire in Chickasaw, AL.  When we arrived on the scene, there was significant smoke and soot damage. The owner couldn't believe how quickly and completely we were able to clean the soot from the walls and ceiling. At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we make disasters "Like it never even happened."

This is a photo of significant smoke and soot damage as the result of an electrical fire.  The SERVPRO of Mobile County IICRC certified team members used a combination of experience and training to quickly and effectively remove residue from the ceiling and walls.  

Congratulations to our four Fire House Stations, who won our home-cooked holiday dinners! Be sure to check out our Facebook page for January Winners.

These boxes are full of contents from a townhome after a fire. When fire damage strikes, it not only affects the structure but belongings within the home/business as well.  SERVPRO of Mobile County packs and inventories all contents to transport back to our facility for cleaning.  We will also store the contents in our climate controlled storage until the structure is ready for the items to be moved back in.

SERVPRO of Mobile County was recently called to assist a commercial client after a dryer fire in their facility in Citronelle, AL.  As you can see there was significant smoke and soot damage. Our technicians worked quickly to clean up the secondary damage so this business could get back up and running.
