Christmas Season Reminder

The holidays are in full swing as people are finishing up last minuet shopping for gifts and decorations are all around us. Here at SERVPRO of the Quad Cities want to make sure that everyone has a safe Holiday. We took some time to find some tips and tricks to keep your home and family safe. 

Water the Tree: 

If you have a live Christmas tree in your home if not taken care of can lead to a fire that can damage your home. Even small fires create smoke that can have lasting affects. 

- When you bring your tree home make sure you cut off the bottom of the tree to open the pours so the tree adsorbs the water properly. 

- Make sure the tree is not by any heaters or warm vents. 

- Fill the stand with water. This is something you will have to check every day and multiple times a day when you first bring it home. The tree can soak up to a gallon of water the first day. You want to make sure the level of water is never below the base. 

Keeping your family and home safe is our number one priority.
