How to Protect Your Home While on Vacation

7/22/2024 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO, we understand the importance of safeguarding your home from potential water damage, especially when you're away on vacation. Here are some expert tips to help you prevent water damage and ensure peace of mind during your trip:

1. Inspect for Leaks

Before leaving, inspect your home for any signs of leaks or water damage. Check under sinks, around appliances, and in the attic and basement. Address any issues immediately.

2. Turn Off the Main Water Supply

Shutting off the main water supply is one of the best ways to prevent water damage. If a leak occurs while you’re away, this simple step can save your home from significant damage.

3. Drain Your Pipes

After turning off the main water supply, drain the pipes by opening faucets and flushing toilets. This helps to remove any remaining water and reduces the risk of leaks.

4. Check Your Sump Pump

Ensure your sump pump is in good working order. A malfunctioning sump pump can lead to a flooded basement, especially during heavy rain. Test it before you leave to make sure it’s operating correctly.

5. Install a Water Leak Detection System

Invest in a water leak detection system with automatic shut-off capabilities. These systems can alert you to leaks and shut off the water supply to prevent extensive damage.

6. Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause water to overflow and seep into your home. Clean them out to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from pooling around your foundation.

7. Inspect and Maintain Appliances

Check appliances like your washing machine, dishwasher, and water heater for any signs of wear and tear. Replace old hoses and ensure all connections are secure.

8. Adjust Your HVAC System

Set your thermostat to a temperature that prevents freezing pipes if you're traveling during winter. Consider installing a smart thermostat to monitor and adjust temperatures remotely.

9. Arrange for Regular Checks

Ask a trusted neighbor or friend to check your home periodically. They can look for signs of water damage and address any issues promptly.

10. Review Your Insurance Policy

Ensure your homeowner's insurance policy covers water damage and that you understand the terms and conditions. Consider adding extra coverage if necessary.

By following these steps, you can help protect your home from water damage while you enjoy your vacation. At SERVPRO, we're here to provide expert assistance and support for all your home restoration needs. Safe travels and peace of mind are just a few precautions away.

Detecting Hidden Damage With Thermal Imaging

5/27/2022 (Permalink)

Visible temperature differences indicate the presence of moisture.

Water leaks can cause serious damage to a structure and are often difficult to detect until it’s too late. The subtle signs are easy to miss until water begins dripping from the ceiling. At SERVPRO of Burlington/Mt. Holly, we utilize advanced tools that allow us to detect hidden moisture. Chief amongst these is the infrared camera.

An infrared camera produces thermal images that reveal subtle temperature differences. How? Every object emits infrared light, even cold ones. An infrared camera measures the amount of infrared light that is emitted off of a surface. The measurement is then calculated to determine the temperature. Visible temperature differences indicate the presence of moisture.

However, identifying a pattern that looks like moisture does not always guarantee the presence of water damage. That's why we follow up on infrared findings using another valuable tool; the moisture meter. The meter will confirm whether what we’ve detected is in fact water.

These tools allow us to detect hidden moisture without cutting into walls, which speeds up the testing process helps keeps costs low. That's the SERVPRO difference!

"SERVPRO helped me at a time I was despondent - I had a sewer backup in my house and I was so traumatized I didn’t know what to do. I called them and within an hour their techs were at my house. They calmed me down (first) and then completely cleaned the disaster. It was a serious hazmat situation and their techs were cheerful and professional. They mitigated the situation within a few hours and left dehumidifiers, fans, and most importantly, air purifier machines running in my house for several days. They checked back at my house each day to inspect their mitigation, and they were GREAT! Highly recommend! They are a GREAT team to call during your homeowner’s despair.

Pre-Listing Inspection Repairs

4/5/2021 (Permalink)

Looking to sell your home? We can help.

In a home sale, there are two types of home inspections: a buyer’s inspection and a seller’s inspection (or a pre-listing inspection). Buyers traditionally arrange a home inspection. However, some sellers choose to have an inspection performed before listing their house, so they can fix any potential issues and save time in the closing process.

A pre-listing inspection could make the whole sales process faster and easier for everyone involved. Sellers are not obligated to fix issues discovered during inspection, but a buyer can also walk away if they’re not satisfied. 

Water and mold damages are some of the most common issues inspectors come across. We specialize in repairing such damages. Our services include:

- Correcting leaks

- Extracting standing water 

- Replacing wet or visibly moldy insulation

- Mitigating mold damage

- Removing musty odors & dehumidifying

At SERVPRO of Burlington & Mt. Holly, we can help get your home in shape for inspection and sale!

Learn About COVID-19

4/13/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Burlington Township / Mount Holly wants you to be educated on the current pandemic that is going on in the world today and ways to keep you healthy. 

In COVID-19, 'CO' stands for 'corona,' 'VI' for 'virus,' and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV”. There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses.

Your doctor will determine if you have signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and whether you should be tested. In the early stages of infection, it is possible the virus will not be detected. For COVID-19, a negative test result for a sample collected while a person has symptoms likely means that the COVID-19 virus is not causing their current illness.

Remind everyone in your household of the importance of practicing everyday preventive actions that can help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue.
• Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily (e.g., tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles) using a regular household detergent and water

Avoid sharing personal items like food and drinks. Provide your sick household member with clean disposable facemasks to wear at home, if available, to help prevent spreading COVID-19 to others. Clean the sick room and bathroom, as needed, to avoid unnecessary contact with the sick person.

SERVPRO wants you to know what we are up against and to stay safe. 

Educate Yourself On Mitigation

4/2/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Burlington Township / Mount Holly wants everyone to understand what consists of a water damage and understand what it takes to get your property back to normal. 

Full restoration consists of two major phases. The first, mitigation, consists of occasional demolition, cleaning and drying out the structure and belongings. This phase usually takes no more than 3 – 4 days.

Causes of water damage include:

• Bursting or leaking pipes.
• Issues with the plumbing system.
• Buildup in areas prone to collecting water, such as crawl spaces, attics and basements.
• Faulty or malfunctioning household appliances.
• HVACs (Heating, ventilating and air conditioning units) issues.

If left untreated, water damage can permanently weaken your home's structure or cause you and your family to become ill. Even a little bit of moisture can attract whole colonies of mold or bacteria.

Within 1 to 24 hours – When water damage lasts for 1 to 24 hours, drywall begins to bulge and break, furniture begins to swell and crack, and metal surfaces begin to tarnish. Within 2 hours to 7 days – You will experience growth and spread of mold and mildew.

It is safe to say that a water damage should be taken seriously and not let untreated. If you ever have to experience this, be sure to call SERVPRO!

Educate Yourself on Mold

We are removing the mold which is remediating the mold situation which is ending it, abatement.

The cleanup process is the same for Level 1 and Level 2 mold remediation and comprises these steps:

• Repair the water problem. ...
• Isolate the contaminated area. ...
• Suppress dust. ...
• Remove materials. ...
• Place materials in plastic bags. ...
• Clean. ...
• Clean the affected area and egress. ...
• Visibility test.

50-200 spores – still very low levels; the toxic mold species Stachybotrys and Memnoniella are the only species to be considered an issue at this level. 200-500 spores – the most common species (Penicillium/Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Curvularia) are not an issue and stay within the normal range.

Taking Fire damage Head On!

4/12/2019 (Permalink)

There are times when the worst happens and you can not control when a fire occurs on in your property. This is a fire started on the roof of Letitia Street in Burlington Township affecting five floors plus common hallways and the lobby. Our crew worked together to keep each tenant satisfied through the process of the cleanup. We chemical sponge brushed the entire structure. We ran vapor sharks and we had air scrubbers with charcoal filters to eliminate odors and performed demolition on anything that could not be restored. This way we could bring in brand new dry wall and kitchen cabinets to replace, remove the odors of the smog, and make it feel like it never happened. We were however able to salvage the floors as we use our top of the line equipment to make the process as quick and cost effective as possible. The picture below shows how hard SERVPRO of Burlington Township/Mount Holly worked to save the original hardwood floors. With in a total of 3 days we were able to have this home completely restored.
