Portable Fire Extinguisher Safety Tips for Clovis?

6/14/2022 (Permalink)

Our Clovis team responds to fire damage emergencies each year, and many start in the kitchen. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association for selecting and using a fire extinguisher: 

• For the home, select a multi-purpose extinguisher (can be used on all types of home fires) that is large enough to put out a small fire but not so heavy as to be difficult to handle
• Choose a fire extinguisher that carries the label of an independent testing laboratory
• Read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher and become familiar with its parts and operation before a fire breaks out. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors often offer hands-on fire extinguisher trainings.
• Install fire extinguishers close to an exit and keep your back to a clear exit when you use the device so you can make an easy escape if the fire cannot be controlled. If the room fills with smoke, leave immediately.
• Know when to go. Fire extinguishers are one element of a fire response plan, but the primary element is safe escape. Every household should have a home fire escape plan and working smoke alarms.

SERVPRO of Clovis Technicians Have Safety in Mind After Water Damage in Your Home

11/16/2021 (Permalink)

Sometimes, a Clovis water damage case may prove so severe as to warrant a quarantine or exclusion zone within your home. While we do not make these calls lightly, SERVPRO has to institute such safety precautions for some situations to protect both you and your home while we conduct restorations. While our technicians are typically more than able to explain the full reasoning behind such precautions, it might pay off to know what situations can commonly lead to this decision. 
 
Electrical Hazards 
 
If your home has water damage in a broad area or standing water in a room, this area typically must be cordoned off due to the potential presence of electrical hazards. When outlets and large electronic appliances come into contact with volumes of water, they create a major hazard to anyone not protected by specialized clothing like that worn by SERVPRO technicians. 
 
Mold 
 
If our inspectors find a mold of a dangerous species or spread, they may create a quarantine area to stop its spread and shield residents from potential health effects the mold can cause. We are well-qualified to handle mold situations, so worry not if we do find a problem. We simply incorporate mold remediation into the present cleanup job and keep moving. 
 
Septic Tank Spillage or Other Waste Hazards 
 
When a septic tank has spilled, or some other disaster involving biological waste has occurred, we typically bar access to this area to prevent contamination from occurring. Tainted water sources carry large quantities of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can create serious health effects even through simple proximity. If you know that your septic tank has ruptured or spilled, be sure to inform our personnel before they arrive so adequate preparations can be made. 
 
Structural Damage 
 
More severe water damage has the potential to cause structural damage to the home. If our trained inspectors find signs of this, they may ask you and your family to vacate the area immediately. Structural collapse can happen suddenly, and without prompting, so it is best to stay away from the at-risk area until we have had enough time to ensure its safety. 
 
SERVPRO of Clovis is trained and equipped to deal with water damage of any variety. Call us at the first sign of trouble at (559)297-3429.

What Water Category is Present and What That Means For Treatment

6/3/2021 (Permalink)

Let the SERVPRO team evaluate and help you make a restoration plan!

Understand What Type of Water Has Impacted You or Your Business 

Contaminated water is a problem for yourself and your adjuster. Not only do these situations pose a physical dilemma, but the potential of increase in microorganisms may deem the location a hazard. Was the flooding clean or dirty? That is an important factor when dealing with a water loss Without proper assessment, it's hard to know. A restoration without proper diagnosis could lead to the incorrect treatment and cause further conditions for growth and destruction. Thus, to ensure the safety of anyone dwelling in the property, as well as proper cleaning, proprietors and their agents should rely on a reputable water restoration company to diagnose and guide the remediation efforts.

The following are the Categories of Water and how they are classified

• Category 1 - This involves a clean supply line leak or bust. While mold spores are not a concern, if not attended to promptly, this could lead to saturated belongings, structural concerns, and possibly create the right environment for mold growth. The premises needs to be dried out as quickly as possible.
• Category 2 - When the lines to a dishwasher, washing machine or refrigerator break, contaminated water does enter the area. Bacteria is still possibly present, making this a situation that should be handled with care. In addition, a toilet overflow, not from a sewage break, may also fall into this section, especially if feces or urine was present. A thorough inspection would dictate what should be sanitized and dried.
• Category 3 - Of up most concern is flooding from outside sources and breaks in the building's sewage lines. These origins bring black water, liquid that is highly contaminated with microbes, into your establishment, filling porous materials with mold spores and bacteria. The longer this sits, the more difficult it becomes to clean. In fact, common household cleaners such as bleach may remove external staining; however, they do no absorb deep, possibly leaving behind infestation.

Let a professional vendor such as SERVPRO of Clovis diagnose your water loss and create a plan of the best treatment options for you. Our team of technicians are professionally trained to determine exactly what treatments would be best for each individual circumstance. Put your trust in SERVPRO of Clovis! Call us at (559)297-3429

Are You Checking for Mold?

6/3/2021 (Permalink)

Regularly inspect your home for mold so that you can find any before it becomes an issue!

Places That Get Overlooked When Regularly Checking For Mold

Most homeowners know the obvious places to look for mold in their homes basements, bathrooms, and kitchens are big targets but there are a few places that go regularly unchecked.

1. House Plants - Overwatering house plants can easily lead to a moist environment with enough standing water to promote mold growth.
2. Washing Machines - Naturally the washing machine feels like a clean environment due to the constant detergents going into the machine, but if your washing machine is not properly drying in between uses this may cause a good environment for mold growth.
3. Drywall - There may be darkened patches on the walls or ceiling of a room , regularly check the walls around the house especially the ones hidden behind furniture for dark patches which are an indicator that there is mold present.
4. Carpets - Mold typically grows underneath your carpets. Any liquid-related spills or accidents can cause moisture to become trapped in the carpeting, permeating the areas underneath and inviting mold growth. Before you tear up the carpet to check, you might try smelling it or feeling it to see if it appears damp or musty.
5. Window Sills - When the humidity levels in your home are too high, it can cause excessive condensation to form on your window sills. This moisture is what causes the mold on wood. It's important to regularly check window sills, as mold that originates here can quickly spread to other areas of your house.

Why SERVPRO Should Be the Only Company You Call for Water Damage

6/3/2020 (Permalink)

Water is a devastating force that can affect your Fresno residence or office. Moisture quickly infiltrates and begins to disintegrate porous building materials including drywall, ceiling tiles, and some types of flooring. It can migrate from the original damaged space into other rooms, levels, and hidden cavities between walls, under floors, and above ceilings. In just 24 to 48 hours secondary damage such as mold growth begins. Homeowners need to reach out to professional restoration experts right away.

When an overflowing tub or sink becomes a waterfall, your Fresno home requires a comprehensive water damage recovery plan. Unfortunately, it is rarely enough to mop up the water you see, as moisture is notorious for moving into any absorbent material or flowing into neighboring spaces. Intensive training in moisture metering and infrared scanning is useful to trace the path of water. The typical homeowner lacks that skill, which is why working with a trustworthy water restoration company is so important.

SERVPRO can arrive as soon as practical after your call, ready to assess the extent of the damage and to devise a plan to remove the water and dry all affected spaces. Our service vehicles carry an equipment stock that anticipates a range of water removal and drying tasks. The submersible pumps, extractors, air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers are set to manage the challenges, clearly supporting why SERVPRO delivers fast and effective services when water damages your home.

Our technicians cover a broad range of water damage scenarios during the time they spend on IICRC training. This background helps speed the process of restoration. Why SERVPRO is an industry leader is our expectation that every project we accept stands on its own. We carefully evaluate the specific circumstances of your water damage crisis so that we miss nothing, including unexpected seepage or harm to vulnerable building materials or contents others might not consider. When we respond our mission is to leave your property “Like it never even happened.” Working with you and your insurance company to achieve this end is always our goal.

Why SERVPRO of Clovis should rank first in your search for reputable water damage restorers is clear -- we have the trained technicians and appropriate equipment to get the job done. Contact us at (559)297-3429 when water flows outside of its lane for a fast and efficient response.

How Does Ozone Destroy Odors

6/2/2020 (Permalink)

zone reacts with odor molecules by transferring the “extra” oxygen atom of the ozone molecule to the odor molecule, changing its composition so it no longer has the same chemical makeup. This chemical reaction is called oxidation. In a nutshell, through the oxidation process, what was formerly an odor-causing molecule is now an entirely different compound, and therefore does not possess the odor of its preceding form. To compare the difference between odor treatment using deodorizers and ozone, pretend we have two foul smelling odor molecules, think of them as two bad guys. Let’s treat the first bad guy with a spray-on deodorizer. This can be represented by locking him in a jail cell so he can’t affect anybody or anything. He is harmless, but he is still a bad guy. Once he is released, he can be a bad guy again…or in our case a stinky odor molecule.

Now let’s take the second bad guy and treat him with ozone. During the oxidation process, his very molecular structure is altered; he is no longer the same thing. This can be represented by waving a magic wand and “poof-he’s a rabbit”! Since the bad guy has been turned into something completely different/harmless, he can no longer be a bad guy-he is now a permanent rabbit, or in our case, a molecule without an unpleasant odor.

Do you have an odor molecule? Don’t despair, call SERVPRO of Clovis 559-297-3429.

5 Things You Should Not Store in Your Garage

6/3/2019 (Permalink)

This is how your garage should not look.

Most of us try to accomplish new goals, get a new fresh start. Getting healthy, organizing our homes, bettering our lives always seem to be at the top of the list. One space to start cleaning and organizing is the garage! That extra storage area that easily becomes a catchall for excess items.  We have compiled a list of items that should not be stored in your garage. Get them out and reclaim your space.

1. Paint- Because the garage is prone to extreme temperature changes, paint should not be stored in the garage.  Recycle paint according to your county guidelines or donate it.
2. Electronics-If you are putting electronics out in the garage, you must not be using them.  Donate these items because they can’t withstand the temperature fluctuations and will easily break.
3. Propane and Hazardous Chemicals-Proper ventilation is key for storage of propane and hazardous chemicals.  For safety reasons, these items need to be stored outside.  
4. Food- Keeping food in the garage is an open invitation to rodents and insects.  Although shopping in bulk can save money, storing extra food in the garage will cause problems. The moisture and humidity will spoil the food. Find room in the house for food storage.
5. Cardboard boxes-Insects, mice and other rodents love cardboard. Invest in waterproof plastic bins to store your items.

Hope these tips help you gain back your garage. Happy Cleaning from SERVPRO of Clovis!
