With our drying chamber and document restoration processes, priceless family photos and valuable documents can be salvaged if damaged during a water loss.
Avoid disaster. New rugs are often treated with a chemical wash to brighten colors. If a chemical wash was too strong, it could loosen the dye and wash out. Pre-test a small area to avoid a big problem.
Water Damage Fact: Moisture reactivates dormant odors. After a water loss, old pet urine stains will begin smell again.
Feather dusters make existing dust worse, causing it to settle somewhere else in your home. Damp cloths or furniture wipes work best.
The water extraction step removes the majority of the water from your home or property. By performing thorough water extraction, SERVPRO Franchise Professionals help reduce the drying time and help to prevent mold and secondary water damage.
Do you know the difference between Class A and B fire extinguishers?
-Class A: This is the most common extinguisher and can be used to put out fires in ordinary combustibles such as cloth, wood, rubber, paper, and many plastics.
-Class B: Used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, and oil.
Make sure there is nothing in the oven before each use. An oven should never be used for storage. #firesafety

5 Dangers of Deep Frying a Turkey
-Turkey fryers can easily tip over, spilling hot cooking oil over a large area or surface.
-An over-filled cooking pot can cause cooking oil to spill or splatter when the turkey is placed in the pot.
-Even a small amount of cooking oil spilling on a hot burner can cause a large fire.
-Without thermostat controls, deep fryers can overheat cooking oil to the point of igniting a fire.
-The sides of the cooking pot, lid, and pot handles can get dangerously hot
Remove debris from your rain gutters. A clogged gutter can send water down the side of your house causing unnecessary water damage. #SERVPRO
It's Groundhog Day! Phil has spoken, and it looks like we are getting 6 more weeks of winter! ❄️
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.
You may see or smell mold on clothing, drywall, furniture, cardboard boxes, or books, but it may also be hidden under or behind items like carpet, cushions, or walls.
Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. #FunAtWorkDay
We probably use more bubble wrap than you think. During the restoration process, often with fire or water damage, the team does a “packout” and packs away the property’s contents to be temporarily moved during the restoration process. #BubbleWrapDay
