  • Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood
  • Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

2018 Grilling Season

Here are some tips when using a propane grill:

  • Always check for leaks every time you disconnect or reconnect the regulator to the LP tank. If you find a leak, immediately turn off the gas at the tank and don't attempt to light the grill until the leak is fixed. Until it is repaired, keep lighted cigarettes, matches or open flames away from it.
  • Check the valve connections and hoses to be sure they are in good working order. The hoses should have no cracks, holes or leaks. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.
  • Never start a gas grill with the cover closed
  • If the burner doesn't light, turn off the gas and try it again in about 5 minutes.

SERVPRO Takes control

A local office building had a fire in a tenant’s space that impacted the entire building. The investigators required the tenant’s space to be completely sealed until their investigation was completed.

We removed several fixed windows from the rear of the building However access was an issue, we needed to enter through the main corridor our team constructed 2 x 4 framing with zip and ventilation to isolate the tenant’s space. These engineering controls kept the heavy smoke odor from the common areas of the building

The controls formed a safe pathway for the tenants and visitors during the cleaning and restoration.

When there’s a disaster SERVPRO of Lowell is here to help maintaining your business.
