Grilling Safety Tips
7/5/2023 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is your trusted fire damage restoration company!
Grilling season is in full swing here in the Midwest! Here are some helpful tips to keep your family safe this summer:
1.) Only use grills outdoors and away from the home. Grills that are used to close to the home or even indoors (yikes!), can heat up adjacent building materials and could start a fire.
2.) Make sure your grill is placed on a flat, level surface. A grill that is on uneven ground could easily tip over and start a fire.
3.) Check your propane grills for leaks. Check the gas lines to make sure that they are free of leaks before using your grill, and always open the lid of your barbecue before lighting.
4.) Clean your grill after every use. Frequent BBQing will allow grease to build up and over time will act as a fuel that will start a fire.
These are just a few tips to help keep you, your family, and home safe while enjoying grilling all summer long!
Should disaster strike and you find yourself facing fire damage, trust the professionals of SERVPRO of Milwaukee North to make it "Like it never even happened."

Fire Restoration 101: Pretesting
7/28/2022 (Permalink)
After a fire why is pretesting so important?
At SERVPRO of Ozaukee County, fire damage professionals use pretesting to determine the scope of the loss, type of fire loss, and the method of cleaning for areas that have been affected. This process also helps determine what items are restorable or repairable vs. those items that will need to be replaced.
Factors determined by pretesting:
- Cleaning Method
- Condition of Surface
- Level of Soil
- Type of Soil
- Pre-Existing Conditions
Pretesting helps to ensure our customers are back into their home as soon as possible, within a realistically accurate time estimate. For help 24/7/365, call on the professionals at SERVPRO of Ozaukee County today at 262-242-8888 for a no cost assessment of your unique situation. We are here to help.
Fire Restoration 101: Types of Soot
7/28/2022 (Permalink)
Soot webs caused by wet soot formed during a house fire.
There are two different types of soot: wet and dry. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Ozaukee County will test the soot to determine which type of damage occurred. The cleaning procedure we use will then be based on the information identified during pretesting.
Wet Soot - Plastic and Rubber
- Low Heat,
smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Creates smoke webs that are more difficult to clean. - Example: plastics, synthetics, household fires
Dry Soot - Paper and Wood
- Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.
- Example: organic materials, wildfires
Protein Soot - Food products
- Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.
- Example: grease or food, kitchen fires
A fire is one of the most devastating events a home or business owner can encounter. Each smoke and fire damage situation is different, and each requires a unique solution for the specific situation. SERVPRO of Ozaukee County has the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore fire and smoke damage. It is our number one priority to treat your family with respect and your property with care.

7/28/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is here to help answer your questions and restore your home to its preloss condition.

Minor Fire Damage
- Smoke residue is light and contained to certain rooms or areas.

Moderate Fire Damage
- Smoke residue is moderate, and more materials require wet cleaning.
- Multiple areas require repainting, and the number of items requiring replacement multiplies.
- Floors may require refinishing.
- Heat damage requires more materials to be replaced.
- Smoke orders are noticeable and the structure may require additional deodorization.
Major Fire Damage
- Smoke residue is present through a large portion of the structure.
- Smoke odor is much stronger, even overwhelming.
- Heat damage is severe.
- Structural framing and finishes may be charred, requiring structural repairs.
- Emergency services are needed. These include boarding up, establishing a source of electricity, winterizing the building in cold weather, and removing smoke-filled and charred debris.
- Restoration will require extensive cleaning of the structure.
- Contents that are salvageable will be moved off-site for cleaning.
- Multiple methods of deodorization are needed to remove smoke odors.
A fire of any size is one of the most devastating events a home or business owner can encounter. Each smoke and fire damage situation is different, and each requires a unique solution. SERVPRO of Ozaukee County has the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore fire and smoke damage. It is our number one priority to treat your family with respect and your property with care.

Fire Restoration 101: Structure Cleaning Methods
7/28/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is here to help with any fire, soot, or smoke damage that may occur in your home or business.
In a study of 2018 fire activity published by the National Fire Protection Association, it is estimated that property owners experienced over $11 billion in fire losses across nearly half a million structures. All of these events are unique in circumstance and severity. Before a structure cleaning can begin, it is important to understand the cause and type of the fire as well as the materials affected. The professionals at SERVPRO of Ozaukee County are experienced in these scenarios and have the training necessary to restore your property fully to its pre-fire condition.
Here are some types of fires and subsequent methods of cleaning:
High Oxygen
High oxygen fires create a dry soot residue, so they are cleaned by first using a dry chemical sponge method. Introducing moisture to a dry soot environment can further lodge the soot into building materials, so removing as much soot as possible before wet cleaning with a low-alkaline detergent and rinsing is crucial.
Low Oxygen
Due to the wet soot this type of fire causes, it must be cleaned with a wet method. We use a high-alkaline detergent to wash walls and structural components.
Kitchen/Grease
Often the most difficult fire to clean, kitchen fires present a soot residue that is often harder to detect. Cabinets, drawers, appliances, etc must often be removed for full access to all residue so that it may be properly removed to eliminate lingering odors.
Remember that SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is available 24/7/365 to restore your home or business after damage from fire. Our professionals are highly trained and experienced in this type of cleaning, and will work hard to take the worry out of your restoration process. Call us today at 262-242-8888.
Fire Restoration 101: Methods of Content Cleaning
7/28/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County uses Ultrasonic technology to restore delicate items such as this porcelain figurine from damage caused by soot.
When a home or business sustains damage from a fire, much of its contents can often be saved and restored. The experienced professionals at SERVPRO of Ozaukee County are trained in multiple methods and technologies which can be used to restore your belongings. The following are specific systems and methods available at our facility.
ULTRASONIC CLEANING
Ultrasonic technology uses a spectrum of sound frequencies, water, and cleaning solutions to remove debris and soot from non-porous items. These frequencies range from 20,000-100,000 cycles per second, with various frequencies performing separate applications. Lower frequencies can be used on sturdier items with heavy soil, and higher frequencies are safer for more delicate items.
ESPORTA WASH SYSTEM
The Esporta Wash System uses hydraulic action to force organic and inorganic contaminants out of items to be cleaned. Commonly, these items are clothing, linens, and shoes. The force applied is comparable to the force of waves crashing against a beach. Esporta restores 90% of soft contents damaged by odor, soot, grime, mold, and mildew to food-grade clean using sustainable, phosphate-free detergents.
OZONE CHAMBER
Ozone generation is a process that removes smoke odor molecules by releasing additional oxygen into the air. While ozone is often used in open air to deodorize a home, there are some safety concerns. Ozone is most effective when utilized in a controlled environment such as an ozone chamber. Contents and furniture that cannot fit into either the Ultrasonic system or Esporta are first cleaned by hand and then often placed into an ozone chamber to remove any lingering odors of smoke by eliminating the microorganisms that cause them. Our dedicated ozone chamber is utilized for items with stubborn embedded odors that would otherwise be impossible to remove.
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is an industry leader in fire restoration. We have the technology needed to restore your home and belongings to their original state, reducing the amount of personal or sentimental items that would otherwise be unsalvageable. We are here to help and here to answer your questions 24/7/365. Give us a call at 262-242-8888.
Gas Heaters

Safety Tips for Gas Wall Heaters:

Get Ready for Fire Prevention Week
7/2/2021 (Permalink)
Even though it is summertime, it is never too early to think about Fire Prevention Week. Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.
Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the month of October. This year it is observed from Sunday, October 3rd 2021 to Saturday, October 9th 2021.
Fire Prevention Week is observed in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land. When you think about it, every week is Fire Prevention Week.
Smoke Detectors and Caron Monoxide Detectors

Frequently Asked Questions about Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms
SERVPRO of Ozaukee County researches information.
What’s the difference between smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms? Why do you need both?
Smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can, alerting you to danger. In the event of fire, you may have as little as 2 minutes to escape safely, which is why smoke alarms need to be in every bedroom, outside of the sleeping areas (like a hallway), and on each level (including the basement). Do not put smoke alarms in your kitchen or bathrooms.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that displaces oxygen in your body and brain and can render you unconscious before you even realize something is happening to you. Without vital oxygen, you are at risk of death from carbon monoxide poisoning in a short time. CO alarms detect the presence of carbon monoxide and alert you so you can get out, call 9-1-1, and let the professionals check your home.
Choosing the Right Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
7/1/2021 (Permalink)
How do You know which Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide (“CO”) Detector/Alarm to choose for your home or office? You should choose an alarm that is listed with a testing laboratory, meaning that it has met certain standards for protection. Whether you select a unit that requires a yearly changing of batteries, or a 10-year unit that you’ll change out at the end of the 10 years, either will provide protection.
CO alarms also have a battery backup. Choose one that is listed with a testing laboratory. For the best protection, use combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that are interconnected throughout the home. These can be installed by a qualified electrician, so that when one sounds, they all sound. This ensures you can hear the alarm no matter where in your home the alarm originates.
The Sounds of Fire
6/28/2021 (Permalink)
Each year there is a Fire Prevention Week. This year it will begin on Sunday, October 3 and end on Saturday, October 9. This year’s theme is “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” The idea is to educate everyone about the different sounds the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you and your family safe. When an alarm makes noises – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – you must take action.
What you should do if someone in your home is deaf or hard of hearing:
There are smoke alarms and alert devices that alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These devices include strobe lights that flash to alert people when the smoke alarm sounds. Pillow or bed shakers designed to work with your smoke alarm also can be purchased and installed. For more information on this important topic, visit Fire Safety for the deaf or hard of hearing section.

Make Sure Your Mequon Home Is Safe From Winter Fires | SERVPRO® of Ozaukee County
2/19/2021 (Permalink)
House fires are more common during the winter months, especially in cold states like Wisconsin and communities like Mequon, Thiensville, Grafton, Cedarburg, Port Washington, and Belgium.
Experts name a variety of reasons for this fire risk increase. They include the holidays and extra time spent in the kitchen, as well as accidents that can happen when a home’s heating malfunctions. Since heaters and other heating systems are engaged more often during the cold months, that often drives an increase in risk.
These fires can damage property and cost families heirlooms, and they can even cause injuries and take lives. According to industry experts, as many as 890 people die from house fires every year.
Simplifying Fire Prevention
Of course, even homeowners who take necessary prevention steps aren’t always immune to the dangers fires can pose. But our team pulled together these simple tips that can help you make your home safer from fire hazards:
Maintain your home’s furnace. Even furnaces that seem to be working well should be checked by a professional for problems every year. Clogged vents and dirty, rusting blades can actually create a fire hazard in your home.
Use your candles wisely. If candles are left burning when you leave home or placed in a location where they can easily topple, then they can become a fire hazard. Don’t leave your candles burning; blow them out instead.
Use your space heater the smart way. Plug your space heater directly into your wall outlet, even if that means you have to rearrange your furniture. Be sure it’s clear by at least three feet on each side.
If your home is damaged due to a fire or any other cause, you can always count on SERVPRO OF OZAUKEE COUNTY for restoration assistance. We have teams who are available 24⁄7 in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help your family. 262-242-8888.
Number One Reason for Home Fires
7/21/2020 (Permalink)
The number one reason for a home fire is cooking.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the number one cause of home fires is unattended cooking. You should always stay in the room while you are cooking with a heat source. If you cannot stay in the room the whole time, ask another adult in the family to watch over your food. Or turn the burner off if you have to leave the room and no one else is home. When cooking food for long periods of time, use a timer so you don't lose track of time.
However, accidents do happen so prepare your home and family by having a residential fire extinguisher on hand! Fire extinguishers should be placed on every floor of your home, especially in the kitchen and garage. You should also learn how to use a fire extinguisher before you need it. If you experience a fire in your home, and you need help with cleaning and restoration, call SERVPRO of Ozaukee County at 262-242-8888. We will provide you with a timely estimate and provide you and your family peace of mind knowing that your home will be be in the hands of experts and will be restored to preloss condition.
Dangers of Space Heaters
7/21/2020 (Permalink)
A major cause of home fires is a space heater or other heating Equipment.
When the weather gets cold, we may pull out the old space heater to help heat a cold bedroom, or a small area where it always seems cold. Be sure to keep your space heater away from anything that could easily catch fire like curtains, laundry, blankets, clutter or furniture. Space heaters can really get hot. And if left on for a long time they can catch fire easily. The safest thing to do is to turn the space heater off if you have to leave the room. You can turn it back on when you return to the room. Never leave a space heater on and unintended.
If your house has a fire, SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is here and ready to help. Please call 262-242-8888 and we will do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
Buyer Beware!
7/20/2020 (Permalink)
Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware! It is typically a good idea to shop around when considering a large purchase. The internet makes this as easy as searching “Contractors” and comparing reviews. Choosing a reputable Contractor with the best price for your carefully detailed plans and specifications is just common sense. And this will work when you need a Restoration Contractor to repair your fire damaged home, right?
WRONG! Experience and training, not price, is what really counts when you have something bad happen to your property.
First of all, each insurance company has a data base of accepted costs/values for every work item, labor and material, necessary to make your fire damaged home whole again. Therefore, where cost is concerned, any contractor you select can only charge according to what the insurance company has already determined are fair prices and labor rates.
The problem lies with determining an accurate, comprehensive, scope of repair. There are no written plans and specifications to ensure you will be getting the same quality and quantity of work from each proposal. Each contractor will visit the site and base his cost estimate on what he observes and determines will be necessary to restore the property to a preloss condition. An inexperienced or slip shod contractor is going to miss details that are necessary or may not be aware how to properly address fire related issues such as hidden sources of odor. The estimate that includes all the necessary work, while higher in price, will actually be the one in your best interest to choose.
You will have an adjuster assigned to your loss to make sure the scope of repair is not excessive. But it is not his responsibility to complete a poorly written estimate. He typically doesn’t have the time, or incentive. So, choose SERVPRO of Ozaukee County, 262-242-8888, for a fair and accurate scope of repair for your fire loss. We have over 50 years of satisfied customers!
Things To Do After a Fire
2/10/2020 (Permalink)
After you have a fire, it is scary, and shocking. What should you do? Here is a basic list of things you can do while you wait for some help to arrive.
- Cover up the carpet in heavy traffic areas with old linens or clean towels. Also, cover up your furniture with old sheets to give added protection.
- If your electricity is off, be sure to clean out your refrigerator and freezer. Leave the doors open after cleaning to air them out. You may want to put a box of opened baking soda inside the refrigerator.
- Cover your chrome fixtures with Vaseline petroleum jelly or oil. The soot can damage your fixtures.
- If you have plants in your home, both sides of the leaves will need to be washed. Don’t use harsh chemicals. They could kill your plants. Plain water is just fine.
- You will want to change your HVAC filter at least once, maybe more, in the weeks that follow the fire.

Things Not to do After a Fire
2/10/2020 (Permalink)
There are several things that you should not do after a house fire. Once the fire is out and you are back in your house, be careful not to do the following things.
- Don’t walk through the soot or spread it around. It can get embedded into carpets and upholstery making it more difficult to clean.
- Try not to touch anything. You don’t want to spread the soot around.
- Don’t start washing your walls or painted surfaces. There is a right way to accomplish this without creating more problems.

- Don’t use canned or packaged food or beverages that were stored near the fire, heat or water. And never eat anything from an open package.
