Why you need SERVPRO®

12/2/2024 (Permalink)

Water and fire damage restoration are necessary when a family is at their most vulnerable, so they need a technician that is trustworthy and capable to act quickly and SERVPRO® is just that. When disaster strikes a home, the damage left behind can make the building uninhabitable. Floods, noxious odors, unhealthy air quality and microbial growth are just a few hazards that can force a family from their home, and they must be dealt with immediately or they may worsen. Fortunately, SERVPRO is on call around the clock and capable of responding right away to any problems.

Our SERVPRO franchise professionals have several missions when they arrive at a compromised building. They have to assess the extent of the damage, determine its source, clean up any destroyed materials, set up a work site, remove excess moisture, remove any residue and ash, and rid the home of any lingering health threats. The entire process is completed as quickly as possible, so SERVPRO will be extremely busy from the moment they arrive at the home.

Every disaster is different, and SERVPRO is equipped for any situation. In some instances, there’s just a small plumbing leak in the attic and a patch of mold to get rid of. Sometimes, a flood powers through the building and leaves several inches of contaminated water behind. Other times, it’s a brief flame that scorches some drywall and a bit of flooring. Then there are times that it’s a rampaging inferno that nearly destroys the building. No matter how severe the disaster is, SERVPRO can get the building back to its former state.

Frozen Pipes: Christmas and Winter Edition!

11/22/2023 (Permalink)

When water freezes, it expands and because it is confined within pipework (copper or plastic), this puts pressure on the pipes causing cracks, especially at weak points in the system. Then when the water defrosts, it can cause major leaks in properties.

  1. Be aware of this and look for the signs of frozen pipes – this can include a slowing or stopping of the flow to taps or other fittings in your property.
  2. Try not to let temperatures get too cold in your property – and, if you are away over cold periods, consider leaving your central heating on (even at a lower temperature

How can you detect mold in your home?

11/22/2023 (Permalink)

You can usually see or smell a mold problem. Mold can appear as slightly fuzzy, discolored, or slimy patches that increase in size as they grow. Most molds produce musty odors that are the first indication of a problem. Mold can grow anywhere there is adequate moisture or a water problem.

Our SERVPRO professionals can help treat your home with mold!

Be careful with candles: Christmas Edition!

11/14/2023 (Permalink)

The top three days for home fires started by candles are Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. To avoid a disaster, keep candles at least a foot away from anything flammable. Make sure candles are in stable holders that can’t be easily knocked down, and never leave burning candles unattended.

? Keep potentially poisonous plants – mistletoe, holly berries, Jerusalem cherry and amaryllis – away from children
? If using an artificial tree, check that it is labeled “fire resistant”
? If using a live tree, cut off about 2 inches of the trunk to expose fresh wood for better water absorption, remember to water it, and remove it from your home when it is dry
? Place your tree at least 3 feet away from fireplaces, radiators and other heat sources, making certain not to block doorways
? Avoid placing breakable ornaments or ones with small, detachable parts on lower tree branches where small children can reach them
? Only use indoor lights indoors and outdoor lights outdoors, and choose the right ladder for the task when hanging lights
? Replace light sets that have broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections
? Follow the package directions on the number of light sets that can be plugged into one socket
? Never nail, tack or stress wiring when hanging lights and keep plugs off the ground away from puddles and snow
? Turn off all lights and decorations when you go to bed or leave the house

Keep yourself safe against home electrical fires.

7/26/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Madison, Lawrenceburg and Versailles has seen a rise in house fires causes by an electrical malfunction in recent months.  Understanding common causes and warning signs is very important. Make sure all electrical wiring installed correctly, do not overload the circuits and don't use defective or improper plugs.  Make sure that you perform scheduled maintenance.  Try to recognize the warning signs of possible electrical problems, such as, flickering or dimming lights, switches or outlets that are hot to the touch, look for discolored cords, outlets and switch plate covers. 

  Some other helpful tips for avoiding an electrical fire are to ensure that all electrical modifications are performed by a licensed professional.  Inspect and repair outlets and switches, replace malfunctioning or outdated fuses and circuit breakers.  Don't run cords underneath carpeting and discard any frayed or broken cords and never splice two cords together.  

  Electrical fires are among the most dangerous forms of combustion due to how quickly they can spread and grow out of control. By following the information above, you can help reduce the chances of an electrical fire occurring in your home.
