Fire Damage – Common Causes of Home Fires | Home Wiz Guy

Fire is a destructive force of nature. Either it is caused by natural disasters or major accident, the best action on that time is leave your property as soon as possible. At-least it can save lives. When you feel that you are safe from that fire hazard then immediately call for help.

As you know that fire damage is devastating it is better to know the common causes of home fires. There are so many things in our house that can cause the fire and potential damages to our property. So it is important to know common causes and how to take precautions.

Fire Damaged Kitchen

Carelessness

Carelessness is one of the most common and most silly reason for the home fires. We all know that no one is perfect. Mistakes can happen anytime. So we can consider that. But negligence is not mistake. It is not tolerable in case of potential fire hazard. We need to be more careful about this. Being careless in kitchen area like not storing the matches and lighters in safe ares, not turning off the gas tank when not in use are just few example of careless actions. These careless actions has high potential to lead a major fire damage in your home. Let me give more examples. Burning candles when you are not there, heating devices near combustible items, fail to put out the cigarettes, all those are the common examples of careless actions that we commonly do in our house. So please be careful and save your house from fire.

Cooking

Surprised to see the title here? Don’t. Because according to the U. S. Fire Administration cooking is cause of half of all house fires. Yes, it is true. Why not when kitchen is full of flammable objects. Here you can highly relate our previous cause “Carelessness” here. To prevent this first thing and most important thing that you can do is never leave the kitchen when you are cooking. Who knows when you are away from kitchen and accident take your place. Second thing that you can do is keep clean your cooking equipment and appliances. Ovens, microwaves are flammable and those can lead to fire anytime. So the third thing that you can do is keep those and other flammable objects away from stove and other heat sources.

Electrical Malfunction

Electrical malfunction is another common causes of home fires. Damage cords, plugging too many cords in same outlet, frayed wires etc are the few reasons that can easily lead to fire. Don’t over plug outlets. If you over plug an outlet then what happen is too much current running through that outlet, or extension cord. By any chance if the running current is over the rated current then it will cause heat and spark which can lead to fire. Damage and exposed wires are dangerous. Immediately you need to replace those.

Heating

Heating devices are the second most common cause of home fire. Most of the time we left the heating devices unattended. Suppose a room heater is turned on during a cold winter night and left unattended. If that one is placed near the other objects then it may cause over heated them burn them which can easily lead to fire. So whenever you are leaving the room remember to turn off your heating device and also maintain its distance from other objects. If you are using wood stoves and chimneys, don’t forget to clean and maintain them to prevent fire.

Shout-Out

So these are few common causes of home fire. You can’t ignore them. So I am hoping that you will remember those and able to prevent home fires. But suppose accidentally your home caught by fire and you need help. So first thing you need to call the fire department and then you need some professionals to clean up those fire damages and restore your home.

So I thought why not I mention some of my clients here. So here are the big shout-out for some professional companies who can cleanup all the fire and water damage from your home.

3 Facts About Water Damage

Dealing with water damage is every homeowner's nightmare. Questions about what to do, what will be covered by insurance, and what possessions to save first will start ‘flooding’ in.  When a pipe bursts or a  basement floods, life is on hold until your home is dried and secured – and that’s not always an easy task. Here are three facts about water damage that will help you secure your home and respond properly to a potential disaster: 1.    The Type of Water is Important Generally speaking, there are three types of water that invade homes: rainwater, fresh water, and sewage. Depending on the type of water in your home, you may need to approach any contact or cleanup efforts differently. Sewage can contain harmful bacteria and make you violently ill. Fortunately, telling the difference is often easy, as it will typically smell just as terrible as you would expect. If you think that you are dealing with sewage, a professional water damage cleanup company will have the p...

Is There A Connection Between Radon and Mold?

Radon and mold in homes both pose health dangers. Long-term radon exposure can increase your risk of lung cancer. On the other hand, mold can produce mycotoxins, a toxic chemical that can cause disease and, worse, death. As a homeowner, it is essential to keep your home safe from mold and cancer-causing gas. Since both radon and mold can appear indoors and pose health risks, you are probably wondering if there is a connection between them. Read on to find out the answer. Radon and Mold: What Dangers Do They Bring? Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can enter through the cracks in your home. Although radon exposure cannot cause death right away, it damages your lung cells as time goes by. Since radon fluctuates, it is challenging to know when the radon level is high. As such, you need to monitor the level of the gas through long-term radon testing. But what if no actions are taken? Suppose your home has high radon levels, and you didn’t install radon mitigation; radon will stay in ...

Loosen Up a Bit: How to Select Bathroom Countertops

When you select kitchen countertops, you need to strongly consider their durability and requirements for maintenance. That's because kitchen countertops often take a pretty heavy beating, what with all the chopping, rolling, mixing, and stacking that takes place on top of them.  The bathroom, however, is a much less intense place. Your bathroom countertops aren't at risk in quite the same way, and this means you can relax a bit and have fun when it comes to choosing a bathroom countertop.  So what do you need to consider in a bathroom countertop? Function While the kitchen countertop is where you spend most of your food prep time, the bathroom countertop's function is generally to hold items. It's the rare bathroom that requires pounding, dicing, slicing, or chopping atop a bathroom countertop. When it comes to functionality in the bathroom, your biggest concern will probably be the size of your countertop. Does it give you enough space to hold your toiletries while you...
