All of us from SERVPRO® of Metairie wish you a happy and safe holiday season!

Avoid Holiday Tragedy in Your Metairie Business

Tis’ the season for festive decorations, colorful lights, and corporate christmas parties. However it is also a time full of tragedy as well. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) statistics indicate that 30% of all fires occur during the months of December, January, and February caused by holiday decorations, lights, and Christmas trees. Fire damage is probably the last thing on your companies mind, but you may want to move it up on your list of priorities; preparation is the key!

• Water Christmas tree regularly
• Pay attention to Christmas lights and decorations
• Use candle alternatives
• Clean Chimney often
• Use UL-approved lights and cords.

The first 48 hours after a fire often makes the difference between ‘restoring’ vs. ‘replacing’ your property and belongings. SERVPRO® of Metairie provides a timely response with mitigation services ranging from fire, smoke and soot removal, to content claims inventory and document restoration.
