What Causes Attic Fires?

The three most common causes of residential attic fires include:

• Electrical failure. Malfunctioning electrical systems are the most likely culprit behind a whopping 43% of attic fires. Overloaded circuits and outlets, damaged wiring, and pests can all contribute to a higher risk of an electrical fire.
• Natural causes. Natural sources like lightning, felled tree branches, and rainwater account for 13% of home attic fires.
• HVAC malfunction. A simple buildup of lint or debris in your home’s HVAC system can lead to a fire risk, especially when the heater is running. Home heating and cooling systems account for approximately 5% of attic fires.

How Can SERVPRO Salvage My Home?

Preserving structural materials can be a challenge after an attic fire. Charring on wood fixtures and flooring may require blast media for removal, while some soot deposits can simply be removed with Crumbly Cleaner or a dry cleaning sponge. Technicians can move the contents of your home off-site for cleaning and restoration as needed, including documents, electronics, and keepsakes.
