When it comes to your dryer, allowing lint to build up in the trap can eventually become a fire hazard.

Forgetting To Clean Out Your Dryer Lint Trap Can Cause Fire Damage.

Upon occasion, everyone forgets to do simple chores inside their house but, sometimes, those simple tasks are essential for the safety of your home and forgetfulness can lead to fire damage. When it comes to your dryer, allowing lint to build up in the trap can eventually become a fire hazard. When the build up first begins to happen, it usually impacts the efficiency of your dryer. The machine cannot produce clothing that is dried to competition in the usual time that it does. However, with continued negligence, eventually, the built-up lint can become a fire waiting to happen.

When the lint trap inside of your dryer causes fire damage inside your Telluride home, it is vital for you to call for help as soon as you possibly can. When help can get to your home swiftly, it is more likely that the remediation of the damage can be successful.

The first thing SERVPRO can do for you is to investigate the fire damage. The blaze impacted your laundry nook and ruined your detergents, fabric softeners, and some hanging clothing. Additionally, the walls and ceiling sustained soot and smoke damage, causing them to blacken with greasy stains. Our Estimator can go through the damages with you and explain SERVPRO's likely course of action. They can answer any questions, and it is their job to communicate with you through the entire remediation process.

After thoroughly cleaning up the melted plastics, detergents, and ruined clothing, SERVPRO can address the damage in your house with unique trade tools. Our team can set up an air scrubber to combat the odor left behind by the fire and filter the air. The device works by drawing in the very particles that cause the odor and neutralizing them, before releasing clean air into the room. Furthermore, SERVPRO can clean the exhaust duct of your dryer, ridding it of lint, soot, dander, mold spores, and other items. Afterward, we can spray a deodorizer to rid your machine of the foul smell.

To deal with the stains on your walls inside your laundry nook, SERVPRO can choose from a few different cleaning methods. The overall goal is to encourage the soot to separate from the surface. Because of this, lubricative, chemical, and abrasive cleaning methods are all options. Once the stains are gone, the final task SERVPRO can help you with is an insurance claim.
