Restoring Indoor Air Quality after a Fire or Flood in Tennessee

When a fire or flood damages your home in Tennessee, it’s important to take steps to restore the indoor air quality as soon as possible. The first thing you should do is open all the doors and windows to air out the house. If the weather is nice, you can also turn on fans to help circulate the air.

Next, you need to clean all the surfaces in your home. This includes washing walls, floors, ceilings, and windows with soap and water. If the flooding was severe, you may need to replace drywall, insulation, and carpeting.

Once the house is clean, you can start using air purifiers and dehumidifiers to remove any remaining smoke or water damage. It’s also a good idea to have your HVAC system serviced to make sure it’s running properly.

By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your home is safe and healthy for your family.
