Fire cleanup

Your fire alarm is one of the most important safety devices in your home, but it’s often overlooked. At SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, we believe in keeping your family safe by encouraging regular fire alarm checks.

So, how often should you check them? We recommend testing your alarms monthly to ensure they’re working properly. Replace the batteries at least once a year, and consider upgrading to models with long-lasting batteries. Also, if your fire alarms are over 10 years old, it’s time to replace them entirely.

Fire alarms are your first line of defense in an emergency, and a few minutes of maintenance can make all the difference. Need guidance or help with fire prevention? Contact us today at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, and we’ll be happy to assist you. Your safety is our priority!
