Call 631-538-4433Located in the western part of Suffolk County in the Town of Huntington, Melville (11747) is a short drive from Commack, Huntington Station and Nesconset. Smoke travels through ducts and wall cavities, so cleaning usually has to reach the whole house, not just the room where the fire started.
Original wiring and electrical panels in older homes were sized for far fewer appliances than families run today, and overloaded circuits are a known fire risk. Finished basements and attached garages give fire more places to start and spread, and smoke reaches the living space quickly. Oil and gas heating equipment in basements and utility rooms can malfunction and push soot through the ductwork of the whole house.
