Wooden cutting boards, trash cans, behind the stove (where food crumbs fall) and windows and window sills in the kitchen are like heaven for mold spores. They feed off of these places, so keeping them clean and dry is critical for keeping mold at bay.
It's our best tip we can give–full stop. Shut off the source of the water if you experience a major leak or water loss.
Inspect windows and roofs after heavy storms for moisture. The excess moisture will cause mold to grow if left uncleaned.

Happy Thanksgiving! We're all about to discover who learned to cook during quarantine and who didn't.

In fire damage restoration, there are many ways to loosen smoke residues. Blast cleaning is a heavy agitator that uses compressed air to blast sand, baking soda, CO2, dry ice, or even ground corn cobs against a soiled surface like charred wood.
Store boxes and books away from external walls and windows where moisture is prone to gather. Mold can begin to build up between the wall and the stored items.

It's Burn Awareness Week. This week gives us the opportunity to educate our community on the importance of fire safety. Tips to avoid burns:
-Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges. Keep hot liquids away from babies and small children. Put drinks and soups in the center of the table away from curious fingers.
-Use the back burners of the stove top to prevent children from reaching up and touching hot pots and pans. Turn pot and pan handles toward the back of the stove so they cannot be easily reached or tipped.
-Be sure to turn off unattended hot appliances such as irons or hair straighteners. Turn off hot items such as heating pads or blankets off before going to sleep.
-Don’t wear loose clothing near fire, grills or stoves.
