  • Secure Important Documents: If safe, retrieve critical documents like insurance policies, passports, and financial records.

What You MUST NOT DO:


  • Do NOT Attempt to Clean Soot Yourself: This is the most important rule. Soot is oily and embeds itself in surfaces. Wiping it with a standard cloth or sponge will only smear and permanently set the stain. Specialized techniques are required.
  • Do NOT Use Electronics: Do not turn on any TVs, computers, or appliances. Soot can get inside and short-circuit the electronics when powered on.
  • Do NOT Use Upholstered Furniture: Do not sit on or try to clean upholstered furniture or carpets. You will embed the soot.
  • Do NOT Eat Any Food: Dispose of all food and beverages, including canned goods, that were exposed to the fire, heat, or smoke.
  • Do NOT Turn on Your HVAC System: This will circulate soot and contaminants throughout your entire Greenbriar, VA home, causing cross-contamination.Our professional team will arrive at your Greenbriar, VA home, secure the property (e.g., board-up windows), assess the damage from fire, soot, and water, and begin the restoration process.

Greenbriar, VA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

Greenbriar is a census-designated place in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The population as of the 2010 census was 8,166. The community between Fairfax City and Chantilly dates from the late 1960s, when it was developed by Levitt & Sons. The community is famous for having only one road within its territory that does not start with an "M" or "P", which is Acorn Hill (added in 1994 with the addition of five mansions to the community). A popular (but not proven) belief is that the roads were named after the architect's two children. One drawback for residents of the community is that with nearly identical sounding named roads (for example, Mayport and Maylock) in such close proximity to each other and house numbers being the same, the US Postal Service along with UPS and FedEx sometimes deliver items to the wrong house.
