SERVPRO was called to mitigate this fire in a residential home bathroom

Exhaust fans are a hidden fire hazard in our properties that could cause devastating outcomes for simple mistakes. Not only can exhaust fans cause fires that could result in thousands of dollars in property damage, but also risk the lives of our loved ones.

Exhaust fans are in many residences and properties to avoid damp walls and floors, as well as unwanted odors. Unfortunately, these fans can also be a fire hazard if they are not properly maintained. If not cleaned routinely, bathroom exhaust fans can collect dust and lint that can cause the motor to overheat. This can cause a fire that will quickly ignite not only the plastic blades of the fan but the surrounding structure. If left on for too long, even a small amount of lint build up could be fatal.
