Charlotte Fireplace Fire

SERVPRO strongly advises that homeowners check the elements of their fireplaces in Charlotte before firing them up for the colder months. If not sure, hire a chimney sweep, or us to inspect the flue, damper, chimney, and flashing. A buildup of creosote can lead to the fire and smoke damage illustrated by this Before Photo. Our team can wipe down and remove the sooty deposits from the brickwork, cabinetry, and other surfaces in this living room. The mantle, more of a challenge, was also repaired and restored to its preloss condition, "Like it never even happened." A tip to keep the interior clean, do not burn green wood; make sure the chopped timber is dry. We are here if you need us.
