- Shut off your central air and heating ventilation systems and have a professional HVAC technician inspect them for damage.
- To prevent possible injury, avoid dealing with electrical applicances or fixtures that may have been damaged during the fire. Also avoid rooms or areas of the home that may look structurally unsound.
WHAT NOT TO DO
- Don’t paint the walls in your home, as this may cause the soot and smoke damage to become permanent.
- Don’t clean your carpets or other upholstered items, and don’t launder or dry clean your clothing as this also may cause permanent damage.

WHAT NOT TO DO
- Don’t ignore mold damage as it could pose a serious hazard to the health of those that live in the home.
- Don’t use bleach to treat mold as it does not kill mold spores and can actually facilitate the spreading of mold if not done properly.
- Don’t dry the infested area until you know that it is 100% free of mold.
