Fire Restoration of Appliances in Selden

A fire in a home is very scary. No need to worry about the fire restoration part. SERVPRO has you covered.

Does the power need to be disconnected from major appliances during fire restoration in Selden?

After a fire, even a small one, soot must be removed from all surfaces and all appliances' operation verified. Kitchen fires can deposit soot residue on all surfaces and even inside some appliances. Can refrigerators and freezers be cleaned with the power still on?

SERVPRO takes every safety precaution during fire restoration in homes in Selden. Major appliances should be disconnected before cleaning and moved to allow full access to all surfaces for cleaning. Reconnect kitchen devices once external cleaning is completed unless it is unsafe to do so.

There are several other considerations that the SERVPRO fire restoration team takes into account when cleaning appliances that contain food items:

• Sealed units with no interior deposits should be reconnected to conserve food items
• Remove all food items and leave doors open if appliances must remain unconnected.
• Food exposed to soot or contaminated must be removed and disposed of.
• Authorized electronic service technicians should check each device before being reconnected.
