Smeltertown Cleanup and Restoration

Tips to Decrease Water & Fire Damage in Your Smeltertown Home

Our town's name explains much of the former commercial work done in the area. Smelting metal produced a large amount of heavy metal waste, which workers poured onto the ground. Unfortunately, this practice negatively impacted the environment, contaminating the area's ground and much of the area's section of the Arkansas River. Cleanup crews have cleaned up most of the previous contamination, making our town much cleaner.

Protecting our groundwater supplies helps ensure a healthier community and must continue through newer practices that protect the land. Today, there are several businesses here whose practices don't require disposing of toxic substances. Brad's Auto Repair, Timber Creek Ranch, Hallmark Ranch Alpacas, and Moltz Construction create jobs and provide goods and services to the community. Several other local farms (like Farm to Table near Highway 291) and the Scanga Meat Company are also here, rounding out the business outlook. As a full-service butcher shop, they sell pickled vegetables, fish, cheese, jams, jellies, and preserves.

Minimize the Spread of Fire Damage in Smeltertown

After a minor fire in your home, you can help keep things under control by not running the ventilation system. Keeping the air still might seem counter-productive, but SERVPRO® technicians know to set up air scrubbers before increasing airflow. Particles from the fire remain airborne for quite some time and often remain suspended while air currents exist.

An Effective Way to Reduce Recent Water Damage

When an appliance, sink, or tub overflows with clean water, use towels, a mop, and a bucket to get as much off the floor as possible. A damp floor means less water seeping into pores, cracks, or seams than a saturated floor will sustain.
