The heat of the summer season is right around the corner and with that heat comes the risk of droughts and fires. No one can tell when a fire will strike or how serious the damage incurred will be, so the best way to protect your family and your property is to fire proof your home today- here's how:
1. Accessibility- making sure your home is easily accessible to the fire department is the first step in making it more safe in the event of a fire.
2. Check the Roof- make sure your roof is fire resistant. Metal or tile roofs are the least susceptible to catching fire, shake roofs offer the biggest risk.
3. Check the Structure- make sure your home's structure is fire proofed- you can do this by fire treating the wood of your home's structure.
4. Install Smoke Detectors- make sure there is a smoke detector installed outside or close to each of the bedrooms in your home. Test each smoke detector once a month.
5. Test Appliances- make sure you have all of your home's appliances tested and serviced appropriately and frequently. Many home fires begin as a result of appliances.
If your home has suffered from fire or smoke damage make sure to contact the experts at Paul Davis Restoration of Northeast New Jersey today!
