It is no secret how damaging flames and smoke can be to your business. Everyone knows how grueling, tedious, and expensive smoke and soot clean-up can be, but one area we find that business owners overlook when it comes to protecting their office, are the contents and furnishings inside the office.

Most insurance policies have “contents coverage,” in the event that the contents of a home or business get damaged by fire and/or water. However, policy holders are required to submit a list of the items that were deemed unsalvageable in order to receive payment. SERVPRO® of Stone Mountain/Clarkston takes great care on the job site to note any irreparably damaged items that must be thrown away, but unfortunately not all items can be recognized.

Taking inventory of your business can help identify your belongings in the case of fire and/or water damage. You can do this by taking pictures or by cataloging the space. These resources can help jog your memory as to what was stored in each room. And remember, if you are renting your office space and have tenant's insurance, your inventory is just as critical! SERVPRO® of Stone Mountain/Clarkston is here to assist you in getting your Stone Mountain, Tucker, and Clarkston office spaces back to normal after a water, fire or smoke disaster. Call 770-496-1976 to speak to someone about how we can help.

Stopping Water Supply After Discovering a Leak

4/20/2022 (Permalink)

If you discover a water leak in your home, the first few minutes are critical. The top priority is to avoid panic and focus on getting the source of the water stopped. The most common water leaks in a home can be traced to the kitchen or a bathroom.

Most all common water supplies in a residence have a cut-off valve nearby and all valves can be turned off with a clockwise turn. If the source of the leak is your washing machine, the valves to turn off the flow are located behind the machine. Do not disconnect the hoses. Instead, turn off the water flow where the hoses are connected in the wall.

In the kitchen, you will find shut-off values for the faucet under the sink. This is also where you will most likely find the shut-off valve for an ice maker, if your freezer is equipped with one. The valve that controls your sink is usually the same valve that provides flow to your dishwasher. In a bathroom, cutoff valves are below the sink and may be within a sink cabinet if you have one. The supply line for the toilet is commonly located under and behind the seat.

A water heater can also be the source of your leak. If it is a gas tank, turn off the gas supply first then turn off the water. The water supply valve is usually located near or above the top of the tank.

Stopping the leak at its source as quickly as possible will minimize damage to cabinets, floors, walls and contents. Within a single minute, several gallons of water can flow into your home and saturate anything in its path, including adjacent rooms.

Some leaks cannot be stopped with an inside valve so the water supply to your house has to be interrupted. Lines carrying water into your home come from a main line outside that can usually be found close to the street where your water meter is located.

At SERVPRO® of Stone Mountain / Clarkston, we are experts at mitigating water damages. Our emergency services include extraction, removal of damaged debris, getting your home dry and providing you with the information and services you need to make water damage “Like it never even happened.” Call us at (770) 496-1976.

Fire Preparedness

4/14/2022 (Permalink)

Fire preparedness is a habit you should be in at all times of the year, but as winter approaches, it is a time to be especially vigilant. House fires occur most often in the winter months, according to the Red Cross.

Now is a great time to review and rehearse your household’s fire escape plan, and you also may want to consider researching restoration companies. If you suffer a home fire, knowing who you can call once the flames are extinguished can help your repairs happen more quickly so your home can be back to its condition before the fire occurred.

Our Home Fire Restoration Process

When doing a restoration job after a home fire, we understand the importance of making sure it is done correctly. There are several aspects that must be considered, including damage to structures, belongings and even the air supply of your home. By taking all this into consideration, we are able to utilize the following methods to provide you with restoration:

Structural Cleaning

Restoring the structural elements of a home consists of cleaning and repairing any floors, drywall portions or other sections that have been impacted. We will first perform tests to determine how your damage is spread through the home and what work should be done, then our technicians will begin taking action to remove the soot, smoke and flames from these items.

Content Cleaning

In most cases of damage to your belongings, it is more cost-effective to have them restored rather than to replace them. We use advanced cleaning tools with both wet and dry cleaning methodology in order to restore the items we are able to in your home. We can typically handle everything from upholstery to wood furniture to electronics, making sure you can keep the majority of the items you love.

Deodorization Services

While the damage to structures and contents is visible, there is also air quality damage that fires can cause. Not only can smoke odors linger for a long time throughout the home, but the airborne soot particles left behind can lead to serious health issues later on. We make use of air scrubbers and other tools to deodorize and purify the air, ensuring all smoke smells and hazardous soot particles get removed.

If you’ve been affected by a fire, reach out to us right away! We are here ²⁴⁄₇ to help you recover.

SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston has Certified and Trained Technicians

4/14/2022 (Permalink)

How do you know if the company you choose to mitigate your water damage has the proper training? In the restoration industry, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning Restoration and Certification (IICRC) developed the “Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration” or S500. Along with the written standard the IICRC also provides training and certification for restoring property damage.

We believe that ALL our employees need to be IICRC trained in Water Damage Restoration. We don’t believe in sending out one trained technician with a team of uncertified workers. On the job training certainly helps but being a certified Water Damage Technician is crucial. At SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston we send all of our full-time employees to the three-day IICRC training class after six months of employment. This includes production personnel, our office staff and the marketing department. If you touch a water damage file…you get trained!

SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston- The Catch All Restoration Company

4/14/2022 (Permalink)

We understand that emergencies never happen at a good time. That’s where we can help! No matter whether you have water, mold or smoke damage, you can count on us to be ready. SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston has a qualified team that can begin your emergency restoration services today.

Water Damage

Suffering severe water damage from flooding water or a burst pipe needs immediate attention. The water needs to be extracted so that drying can take place as soon as possible. The longer water sits in your home or business the greater chances of having secondary damages such as mold. We have a team of trained water technicians on call 24 hours a day. When you call our number after hours you will get a live person who will page the water team that is on call. Our average call back time for the technician responding is just 14 minutes.

Mold Damage

If you see mold inside your home or office then give SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston a call. We have trained IICRC technicians certified as Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians that can remediate the problem. Mold estimates are scheduled by our office administration team during regular business hours. There is a service fee for scheduling a technician to visit your home and develop a written estimate for remediation. This service fee is deducted from the estimate if you select us to complete the work.

Mold often appears from water damage that is not seen or was not dried properly. Sometimes mold is not visually present but there is a moldy or stale smell in the air. In this case you will need to call an Industrial Hygienist to come and sample the home. They will send these samples to a lab to determine what types of mold are present and if you have a problem that needs our attention.

Fire Damage

Fires can be destructive along with the soot and smoke that are also present. Fire damage requires emergency service as soon as possible. Securing the home from unwanted visitors and mitigating corrosive damage to metals that can become pitted from the acidic soot are just a few of the items that require immediate attention. We are trained, licensed and insured to handle all the problems that come from having a fire.

No matter what loss or damage you may have had in your home, call SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston today for assistance on restoring your home to the way it was prior to any loss.

Being Ready Should Disaster Strike

Now is the time to ask yourself, "Are you Ready for whatever happens?"

Having a "SERVPRO Emergency READY Profile" for your business helps by having an immediate plan of action. Knowing what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size disaster, whether it's a small water leak, a large fire, or an area flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Now is the time to ask yourself, "Are you Ready for whatever happens?"

Flash Flooding After a Storm

3/18/2022 (Permalink)

Regardless of what type of severe weather events are taking place, all of them should be taken seriously with safety being a top priority. However, this is something that is especially true when flash floods are a possibility, because of how dangerous they are. Floods cause the second-highest rate of fatalities related to weather in the United States and flash floods are the most dangerous type of flood there is.

There is rarely much notice involved with a flash flood, leading to people being caught by surprise in areas that are not typically involved in any type of flood incident. Flash floods can turn any body of water or drain dangerous, and it is so important to keep track of safety tips that could save your life.

Defining a Flash Flood

There are several different types of floods, but what makes a flash flood so dangerous is how quickly it can come about. When heavy rainfall occurs, flash floods will happen in less than six hours after they begin, often happening closer to three. These conditions create a scenario where people are not given enough notice and have very little time to evacuate or get to higher ground.

The Alert Systems for Flash Floods

If there is severe weather, it is important to tune into your local weather broadcasts so you can be privy to all the alerts that are issued, especially if there is heavy rainfall.

A flash flood watch will be issued when conditions are right for a flash flood to begin, while a warning means that one is imminent and you should take action quickly. Flash flood emergencies are extremely rare, but those are quite deadly and you should always move to high ground as quickly as you can.

Safety Tips for Flash Flood Precautions

When it comes to a severe weather event, safety is always the top priority—and in a sudden severe weather event, it is best to have the top safety tips memorized so you can act quickly under pressure.

Stay alert if rainfall is heavy and prolonged, and stay tuned to local weather updates.
Create a full evacuation plan that everyone is aware of how to execute.
Always avoid crossing flood water, both when you are walking or driving.
Do not come into contact with floodwater if it can be at all avoided.
Know several evacuation routes you can take in case water blocks one or more of them.

If your home or business has been damaged due to a flood or other severe weather, you can depend on us. Contact us at any hour to learn more about our services or to report damage to your property.

All in One Remediation and Restoration Company SERVPRO of Stone Mountain/Clarkston

2/18/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Gwinnett County South is a one-stop service for a great many things. You may know us as the company that helped your neighbor with a sewage backup or the team that cleans your office. Or maybe you only know us as a set of big green vans you see around town occasionally.

But whatever you know SERVPRO for, there’s a good chance there’s much more about us that you don’t know. So today we want to spell out some more of our available services for you—because when you need help in any of these areas, we want you to know you can trust SERVPRO to take care of you.

Water damage recovery. Water damage is a major pain for millions of homeowners each year, and SERVPRO has custom solutions for all of them. No matter the nature or size of the damage, we can get your home back in the dry again.

Fire damage recovery. Fires in homes across the U.S. happen twice a minute or more, meaning a lot of homes are damaged every day. We’ve got the tools and training to take care of homeowners dealing with fire-related loss.

Mold removal. Mold is often an unfortunate side effect of water damage, and sometimes it’s a result of atmospheric conditions. Regardless, it can eat away at your home—and it’s not safe to remove major mold damage by yourself.

Storm recovery. We see everything from big thunderstorms to tornadoes in Lawrenceville, and they can leave major damage behind. When storms take a bite out of area homes, we help homeowners recover, restoring as much as we can along the way.

Commercial needs. Businesses need cleanup and recovery, too, and we offer all our services for commercial enterprise for that very reason. From full-size business parks to mom-and-pop shops, we take care of local businesses who need us.

General cleaning. We know what you’re thinking—do you have to wait until a storm floods your basement to get your carpet cleaned? No way! We can help you anytime, with any cleaning task you may need.

Specialty cleaning. There are a lot of different places that get dirty a lot of different ways, and we take care of all of them. If there’s an unusual cleaning need, rest assured we can handle it.

Construction. When the damage is more than surface-level, we can manage that too, even if it means remodeling, reconstruction and full-scale rebuilding.

Add 24-hour service and an easy insurance process to all this, and the picture becomes clear—when you need cleanup and recovery of any kind, you can trust SERVPRO to get the job done.
