Are you struggling with the aftermath of a recent fire?

STOP Restoration Chicago West’s fire damage service has got you covered.

Fire damage can strike your property without a warning, disrupting everything that you own. The burning flames can escalate very quickly and cause damage worth thousands of dollars within a few minutes. However, even after the fire is extinguished, it’s essential to act fast and hire our STOP Restoration Chicago West fire damage experts before the acidic soot and smoke bring further destruction over what remains.

Causes of Fire Damage

Little did you know that leaving your plugged curling iron next to the sink or forgetting to blow off your scented candle can burn your property to ashes? Research has proven that most property fires are a result of irresponsible activity or absentmindedness. To make things easier, our STOP Restoration Chicago West experts have listed below are some top five causes of fire damage:

1. Cooking: Unfortunately, we all are not the master chefs that we think we are, because of which cooking is among the most common causes of property fire. Kitchen fires are usually ignited by grease when the oil becomes too hot, starts smoking, and ultimately bursts into flames.
2. Heating: A malfunctioning heating system is another cause of property fires. These types of fires usually take place in the winter when flammable objects are left near space heaters and portable heaters.
3. Smoking: Not only does smoke put your health at risk, but igniting cigarettes indoor can easily start a fire. Although it may seem relaxing and appealing to sit back on the couch and smoke while watching your favorite show, falling asleep and mistakenly dropping a cigarette can lead to detrimental consequences.
4. Electronics: This usually happens when an outlet is overloaded with power cords, which causes the electric source to overheat and ignite a fire. Therefore, your electronics must have proper ventilation when placed within your property.
5. Electrical Wiring: Fires caused by electrical malfunctions such as short circuits are not uncommon. They are mostly caused due to outdated or faulty wiring. However, excessive debris and dust can also start a fire in your electrical system.
