As the summer season approaches, we know that the number of grill fires will increase, peaking in July.  Charcoal and gas grills, barbeques and the like are involved in an average of more than 5,000 structure fires each year and almost 5,000 additional outdoor fires. Beyond that grilling accidents result in 19,700 trips to the hospital annually. Thermal burns account for 9,500 of those visits, and children under the age of five account for an average of 2,000, or 39 percent, of those burns.  Follow this link for grilling safety tips from the NFPA.

A fire ripped through Jasper home. This fire literally took the roof with it. Thankfully not a ton of contents were damaged in this fire. SERVPRO of Columbia and Suwannee Counties moved fast to get the roof covered, and start the remediation process on this Hamilton County home.

Would you ever know this laundry basket was dark grey from being covered in soot? Our restoration technician Sharon placed it in our Ultrasonic Machine. This machine uses cavitation bubbles induced by high frequency pressure (sound) waves to agitate a liquid. The agitation produces high forces on contaminants adhering to substrates like metals, plastics, glass, rubber, and ceramics. In this case very little discoloration was left on the basket, and the homeowner was left with less to repurchase for their Chiefland home.

We were called out to access a fire damage in a Glen St. Mary home. Due to the homeowners not having enough coverage to write off a lot of stuff, we were able to save even the smallest things for them. To some a toothbrush holder may be just another $5 purchase, but when you have an entire home of $5 purchases to make it can add up quick. We've been there ourselves, if it is something you want to save then we will.

This beautiful vase was inside of a home as flames roared through it. Fortunately we were able to pack up the house immediately and move the contents to our warehouse for cleaning.

If you have contents from a burned home or business we'd love to restore them for you.

A Starke home went up in flames due to a cooking accident. This bake ware was located inside of a hutch in the dining room. As you can see it was full of soot.
