The warmer weather of spring is finally here! If you’re tired of sitting inside your house, shivering and feeling miserable, you know how exciting it is when spring arrives with sunny days and wonderfully balmy breezes!
Many people take the opportunity to go outside and explore the world when the snow finally goes away. They want to spend time at the mall, the beach, and countless other places. The last thing they want to do is to think about and spend more time in their West Chester, PA homes.
Why should they? Haven’t they hung around the house long enough? If you want to prevent the need for fire damage restoration help, however, you have to take action before any fires might occur. Fires don’t take vacations. They don’t care what season it is. So, what can you do?
Clean Your Fireplace
Whether or not you’ve actually used your fireplace during the fall and winter seasons, it’s still a good idea to have an expert look at it and clean it if necessary. If you allow anything to build up in the fireplace, the next time you use it, this buildup could catch fire and cause serious damage to your home. You would then have to deal with fire damage restoration and smoke removal, among other things.
Check Your Smoke Detectors
Make sure your smoke detectors are functioning. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. If you don’t have detectors, get some and install them as soon as possible.
Have an Escape Plan
What will your family do if a fire occurs? How will you get out? Have an escape plan ready and practice it when possible.
