Cooking Safety Tips for Santa Rosa Beach Residents?

11/27/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Pembroke Pines.

Do you know what to do if a cooking fire starts in your home? Many residential fires start due to cooking mishaps in the kitchen. Here are some tips for what to do if you have a cooking fire from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.
• Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave.
• If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out.
• Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turning off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

Rental Property in Holt Needs Fast Cleanup and Deodorization Services?

11/20/2023 (Permalink)

Commercial businesses trust us to restore property damage in Miramar.

The new renters had signed the lease and were moving in in a few days. When I went to the property to do a final walkthrough, I discovered a big problem. Some kids had broken into the rental unit and vandalized it. There was broken glass and mirrors, holes in the drywall, and the unit smelled awful. My insurance adjuster told me to call the local SERVPRO of Pembroke Pines / West Miramar Chipley teams and they sent out a crew to restore the damage.

The team arrived quickly and cleaned up all of the debris and removed it from the premises. They repaired the damage to the walls and repainted and installed new mirrors and windows. They were able to remove the bad odor, and I was able to rent the condo as planned later that week!

Overnight Pipe Break Floods Southwest Ranches Home?

11/14/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Southwest Ranches.

The house sitter had no idea where the water shut-off valve was located in our home in Southwest Ranches, so when a pipe burst in the middle of the night, our house was flooded. Our insurance adjuster told us to call the local SERVPRO of Pembroke Pines / West Miramar team and they sent a team out right away. If only I had the foresight to show the house sitter where the main water shut-off valve was, we could have avoided much of the damage.

Here is some information on locating and closing the main water shut-off valve:

Start by locating the main shut-off valve. The main cut-off valves are usually outdoors in warmer climates, and in colder climates, these valves are usually indoors. The water shut-off valves have either round wheel or lever handles.

It is important to note that if a valve is difficult to turn – DO NOT force it. Call a licensed plumber or the local public works authority for assistance.

• Round wheel handle valves will turn off by turning the handle to the right (clockwise). A few turns should stop the wheel.

• Handle valves should slowly be turned clockwise ¼ turn. The handle should no longer be parallel with the pipe. It should stop at a ¼ turn.

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day Pembroke Pines.

After it rains it is a good idea to inspect your home for signs of storm damage and water intrusion issues. Water is invasive and can seep into cracks in walls and windows, and clogged rain gutters allow water to back up and into roofing materials, ultimately entering the attic space and into other areas of the home.

Our SERVPRO of Pembroke Pines / West Miramar team uses advanced technology and equipment to locate the source of water leaks so they can be addressed quickly. Here are some examples of the equipment we may use to detect water damage:

Moisture Detection and Measurement Equipment

•  Surface moisture meters
•  Infrared imagery
•  Evasive moisture detectors
•  Video borescope

Cooking Safety Tips for Hollywood Families?

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Broward County.

October is Residential Fire Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is cooking safety. Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires in the United States, and according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), cooking was the leading cause of home fires from 2015 to 2019.

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams are on call and ready to respond to your emergency no matter what time of the day or night you need us, and we typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call for help.

Florida is the lightning capital of the United States, but there are things you can do to stay safe the next time lightning strikes. Here are some lightning safety tips from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

• Avoid isolated tall trees, hilltops, utility poles, cell phone towers, cranes, large equipment, ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops.
• Avoid open areas, such as fields.
• Never lie flat on the ground.
• Retreat to dense areas of smaller trees that are surrounded by larger trees, or retreat to low-lying areas but watch for flooding.
• Avoid water, and immediately get out of and away from bodies of water.
• Avoid wiring, plumbing, and fencing. Stay away from all metal objects, equipment, and surfaces that can conduct electricity.
• Do not shelter in sheds, pavilions, tents, or covered porches, as they do not provide adequate protection from lightning.
• Seek fully enclosed, substantial buildings with wiring and plumbing. The interior wiring and plumbing in modern buildings will act as an earth ground.
• A building is a safe shelter as long as you are not in contact with anything that can conduct electricity.
• Do not lean against concrete walls or floors (which may have metal bars inside).

“I appreciate the professionalism, candor, knowledge, and attention to detail that Will, Rene, and Gilbert possessed when addressing the mold issue at my rental house. They valued my family's safety and listened to my input and concerns as someone who also has work experience in this field. They have not finished the work yet, but I would recommend this team to anyone that is researching the company. The work that they have done proves to me that they understand the theory and more importantly the negative effects that could result from executing to a lower standard.

Moisture in Crawl Space Causes a Mold Outbreak in Pembroke Pines Home?

9/26/2023 (Permalink)

We provide outstanding mold remediation services in Broward County.

Some homes in Pembroke Pines have crawl spaces, a small area under the house that is used to access utilities and can be used for storage. If the crawl space is unencapsulated, it can encourage mold growth due to moisture intrusion. Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams are trained and certified to identify and restore mold outbreaks, no matter how extensive the damage may be.

To prevent mold growth in your crawl space, it's necessary to encapsulate the crawl space. Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the space with a vapor barrier, ensuring proper ventilation, addressing drainage issues, installing a sump pump if necessary, and employing dehumidifiers to control moisture levels. Regular inspections and maintenance are also essential to catch any potential issues early and prevent mold problems from developing or worsening.

Our Mold Restoration Process

Although every mold infestation is unique, we follow the same comprehensive process for every customer we serve as follows:

1. Emergency Contact
2. Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
3. Mold Containment

Miramar Community Plans for Disasters During National Preparedness Month?

9/19/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Broward County.

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams are highly trained and certified to restore storm damage, and we also have Disaster Recovery Teams positioned across the nation. These teams are placed strategically throughout the country and can be mobilized quickly to respond to any major disaster in the United States.

September is designated as National Preparedness Month by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The month is filled with awareness campaigns, educational workshops, emergency drills, and exercises simulating different disaster scenarios to better prepare individuals, families, and communities for emergencies and disasters. This year’s theme focuses on older adult populations, and ensuring they have resources and support systems in place to overcome the challenges many older adults experience during and after a disaster occurs.

The American Red Cross identifies several factors that make older adults more vulnerable after disasters, including, but not limited to:

• A greater likelihood to suffer from chronic conditions and the need for associated medications
• A greater reliance on assistive devices such as walkers or glasses, as well as support from caregivers and others
•  An increased likelihood of social isolation
