Did you know cooking equipment is the leading cause of residential fires?  As we find ourselves spending more time at home these days, fire precautions should be top of mind.

Homeowners experience a flood of emotions when a fire ravages their homes.  Fear, uncertainty, stress and doubt about the future of the property can be overwhelming long after the flames have been extinguished and the smoke has cleared.  After the first wave of heroes have rescued the property, let SERVPRO of Grand Traverse Area help you restore it to preloss conditions.  Combining rapid response, the utmost professionalism, and open communication throughout the entire job process, we strive to restore not only the home, but the customer's peace of mind as well.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) offers the following eye-opening statistics on structure fires: more than 27% of reported fires occurred in homes within the last year.  Even worse, 79% of fire-related deaths were caused by home fires.  On average, U.S. fire departments respond to an estimate average of 354,400 home structures fires per year.  Most home fires result from five causes: cooking, heating, electrical distribution and lighting equipment, intentional fire setting, and smoking materials.

If the unthinkable happens and a fire strikes your home, give SERVPRO of Grand Traverse Area a call.  We will help make it "Like it never even happened."
