The Importance of Storm Damage Restoration: SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow

10/4/2024 (Permalink)

Storm Damage can cause stress - let SERVPRO help handle it every step of the way.

Storms can cause extensive damage to homes and businesses, ranging from flooding and wind damage to fallen trees and broken windows. SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow specializes in storm damage restoration, providing comprehensive services to help property owners recover swiftly and effectively. Their experts are available 24/7 to respond quickly, minimizing further damage.

Once on-site, SERVPRO’s team assesses the full extent of the damage. Water extraction is often the first priority, as standing water from floods or heavy rain can lead to mold growth, structural weakening, and damage to electrical systems. SERVPRO® uses industrial-grade pumps and vacuums to remove water quickly and thoroughly, preventing further complications.

After water removal, drying and dehumidification processes begin. This step ensures that hidden moisture pockets, such as behind walls and under floors, are addressed. SERVPRO uses specialized equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, to dry the affected areas completely.

Storm damage often extends beyond just water. High winds can tear off roofs, shatter windows, and damage the structural integrity of buildings. SERVPRO provides both temporary solutions—such as boarding up windows or placing tarps on roofs—and long-term restoration services. Their team works to repair any structural damage, ensuring that the property is restored to pre-damage conditions.

In addition to physical restoration, SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow also assists with content restoration. Furniture, personal belongings, and important documents affected by the storm are carefully cleaned and restored whenever possible. Their goal is to salvage and restore as much as possible, reducing the overall costs of replacement.

Throughout the process, SERVPRO’s focus is on providing quality, timely, and efficient service. Their experienced team understands the urgency that comes with storm damage and works tirelessly to ensure that your property is safe and secure.

Storm damage can feel overwhelming, but SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow is equipped to handle even the most severe cases. Their professional approach and comprehensive restoration services ensure your home or business is restored to its former state as quickly as possible.

Managing a Flood in Your Home: Top Tips to Make the Process Smoother

6/14/2024 (Permalink)

Water damage in the kitchen: Our team is ready to restore your space to its original condition, ensuring safety and quality.

A flood in your home can be incredibly stressful and worrisome. Whether it’s caused by a burst pipe, heavy rainfall, or an appliance malfunction, quick and effective action is essential to minimize damage and ensure safety. Here are some top tips to help you manage the situation and make the process smoother for all involved until professional help arrives.

1. Shut Off the Source of Water

If possible, immediately shut off the source of water causing the flood. This could involve turning off the main water valve or contacting a qualified professional to stop the source. Quickly identifying and addressing the water source can significantly reduce the extent of the damage.

2. Turn Off Circuit Breakers for Wet Areas

If it is safe to do so, and there is no risk of electrical shock, turn off the circuit breakers for the wet areas of your home. This precaution helps prevent electrical hazards and further damage to your electrical system.

3. Remove Excess Water

Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting. This helps to prevent water from seeping into more areas and causing additional damage. Act quickly to address standing water, which can cause long-term issues like mold growth and structural damage.

4. Wipe Down Wood Furniture

After removing lamps and tabletop items, wipe excess water from wood furniture. Wood can absorb water quickly, leading to warping, swelling, and other damage. Keeping your furniture dry can help preserve its condition and reduce restoration costs.

5. Protect Your Furniture and Carpeting

Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting. This simple step helps to prevent staining and further damage to both your furniture and carpets. It also makes the cleanup process more manageable.

By following these tips, you can help minimize secondary damage and create a safer environment until professional help arrives. Remember, the key to effectively managing a flood in your home is prompt action and taking the right precautions to protect your property and your family.

For comprehensive water damage restoration services, contact SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow. Our team is ready to help you restore your home to its pre-flood condition, ensuring peace of mind during a challenging time.

Grilling Safely: Essential Tips for a Sizzling Summer Season

5/15/2024 (Permalink)

As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, there's no denying that summer is the perfect time for outdoor gatherings and backyard barbecues. However, while firing up the grill can be a highlight of the season, it's essential to prioritize safety to ensure that your summer celebrations don't go up in smoke. At SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow, we're dedicated to keeping our community safe, which is why we've put together some essential tips for grilling safely this summer.

1. Location, Location, Location:
   • Choose a well-ventilated area outdoors, away from any structures, overhanging branches, or flammable materials. Keep the grill on a stable surface, away from high-traffic areas and foot traffic.

2. Preparing the Grill:

   • Before firing up the grill, thoroughly clean it to remove any grease buildup or debris from previous use. Check the propane tank for leaks and ensure that all connections are secure.

3. Fire Safety:

   • Never leave the grill unattended while it's in use, and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill to prevent accidents.

4. Food Safety:

   • Prevent food-borne illnesses by keeping raw meats separate from cooked foods and using separate utensils and cutting boards. Cook meats to the recommended internal temperature to ensure they're safe to eat.

5. Proper Handling of Propane:

   • If you're using a propane grill, make sure to store the propane tank upright and in a well-ventilated area. Keep the valve closed when the grill is not in use, and never store propane tanks indoors.

6. Clean Up:

   • After grilling, allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning it. Dispose of charcoal ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid, away from combustible materials.

By following these simple yet crucial tips, you can enjoy the summer season safely and minimize the risk of grill-related accidents or fires. At SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow, we understand the importance of staying vigilant when it comes to fire safety, and we're here to support our community every step of the way.

Preparing for Summer Rainstorms: Essential Safety Tips for Salem, Windham, and Kingston Residents

5/15/2024 (Permalink)

Living amidst the stunning landscapes of Salem, Windham, and Kingston, with their picturesque bodies of water like lakes, ponds, and rivers, is undeniably enchanting. However, these same waterways can pose a threat when severe weather strikes, leading to potentially devastating floods. Just because you haven't encountered flooding yet doesn't mean you're immune from its effects. Preparation is key for safeguarding your home, business, and loved ones in the face of such natural disasters. Here are some essential tips to help you get ready:

For Homeowners:

1. Develop an evacuation plan for your family and pets: Identify evacuation routes around your home and mark areas prone to flooding due to rivers, lakes, and ponds. If you encounter flooded roads, turn back immediately. If trapped in a flooding vehicle, exit and seek higher ground.

2. Prepare an emergency bag for your home and vehicle: Include essentials such as water, non-perishable food, a battery-powered radio, flashlights, a first aid kit, personal hygiene items, cell phone chargers, blankets, rain gear, extra clothing for each family member, baby or pet supplies, copies of personal documents, and extra cash.

3. Safeguard important documents: Store important documents like insurance policies, property deeds, and identification in waterproof containers or digitally encrypt them to ensure they survive potential flooding intact.

4. Secure valuables and hazardous materials: Move valuable items to higher ground or to an upper floor to protect them from water damage. Additionally, properly seal and store hazardous materials to prevent contamination in the event of flooding.

In times of trouble, remember that SERVPRO of Salem/Plaistow is here to assist you. Give us a call at 603-893-9700 if floodwaters rise, invade your home and you need help. We're always ready to lend a hand.

Top Ten Franchise System Winners!

6/21/2022 (Permalink)

Operating a SERVPRO franchise can be a hard path at times to success, but not today! Always so nice to see our entire franchise community recognized for their hard work and commitment to our customers. 

For the first time since 2016, SERVPRO, a cleanup and restoration franchise company, has been named a Top 10 overall franchise opportunity in the nation by Entrepreneur Magazine, as well as the #1 position in the cleaning and restoration industry for nearly 20 years in a row

“In 2020, SERVPRO franchises across the U.S. and Canada responded to numerous natural disasters such as hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and East Coast and wildfires in the West. But it was the launch of SERVPRO’s new disinfecting and COVID-19 cleanup service that tested and proved the company’s resolve,” CEO Rick Isaacson said.

“SERVPRO’s #10 overall ranking is a result of the hard work our franchises, their crews, and our dedicated headquarters team put in while many businesses were not so lucky,” Isaacson said. “So many businesses were negatively impacted, slowed, or closed due to the pandemic. When COVID forced much of the world to slow down or step back, our team stepped up and did what it took, whether that was cleaning businesses so they could reopen safely or disinfecting first responders’ vehicles – many of those at no cost – to give back to those working every day to keep us safe.”
