What in the HAIL?? Time to call SERVPRO

4/7/2022 (Permalink)

For all you fire, water, mold, and storm needs call SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph, and Washington Counties at (618)464-0300

Hail storms are never a good thing to you and your property. They can put dents in cars and smash holes in homes and windows. Unfortunately, the damage does not stop there. While big chunks of ice can break things, the smaller, harder to detect pieces can cause as much if not more damage. 

As hail is coming down, the smaller pieces can put dents in your shingles, allowing water to flow in. Sometimes this water stays hidden until finally: boom! Your roof just caved in due to water damage. So, even the smaller chunks need to be monitored. 

Luckily, we at SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph & Washington Counties are experts in water and storm cleanup. The first thing we do is seal off any holes created by the hail to stop water from flowing in. Next, we get to work drying any moist areas using our air movers and dehumidifiers. Your damaged belongings are cleaned and restored to pre-disaster condition as we close off your home from nature again. 

Let us ease your mind as we handle any disaster nature throws at you. Call your local SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph & Washington Counties for your expert fire, water, mold, and storm cleanup needs. (618) 464-0300

Helpful Hints for Blizzards and Extreme temps!!

1/20/2022 (Permalink)

Don't just hang around until it's too late. Follow these tips and if you experience any storm damage call us 618-464-0300

Our current pandemic we are all experiencing feels much like a mental storm or blizzard. An actual blizzard is a severe snowstorm with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibility of less than 1/4th of a mile for more than 3 hours. Traveling by car or foot is highly discouraged during blizzard conditions. It increases the chance of hypothermia, accident, and death. If you must travel by car during a blizzard, it is vital to have with you an emergency aid kit: water, jumper cables, road flares, tow rope, and non-perishable snacks.

To avoid hypothermia if caught outdoors during a blizzard, stay hydrated and nourished. Keep blood flowing by moving around. If it is safe to do so, build a snow cave to block winds that can reduce your body temperature. Avoid eating snow as well; it can actually make you colder! While keeping yourself safe, also think about the well-being of your animals by creating an emergency plan for your pets. 

Before you receive a storm warning, be prepared. The loss of electricity means no hot water and heat, so stock up on non-perishable foods, blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, and candles beforehand.

If your home or business suffers from storm damage, call your local SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph & Washington Counties 24/7 at (618) 464-0300. We are here to help.

Winter is coming, but we have some tips!!

Winter is coming and with rigid temps so could frozen pipes. Call SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph, and Washington Counties 618-464-0300

Winter weather can mean more than just slippery roads and snowmen to make. There are large threats of water damage to your home during the winter months. The more you know about them, the better you can prevent these issues.

Frozen Pipes

If not handled properly, pipes in your home can burst due to pressure built from frozen water blockages. The best ways to prevent this are:

1. Be sure to completely drain water from swimming pool and sprinkler lines, as well as outside hoses.
2. Open kitchen cabinets to let warm air near the plumbing.
3. When the weather is extremely cold, let water drip from faucets that may come from exposed pipes.
4. Keep your heat set to the same temperature both day and night

Ice Dams

Most people have never heard of an ice dam, however, they can be a major problem during winter. Ice dams occur when heated air melts roof snow downward into water dammed by ice stuck to the gutter. When the trapped water cannot safely flow into the gutter system, it can backflow into the house, causing water to enter through the roof and forcing the shingles to shift. Preventing ice dams is as easy as removing ice and snow from your roof and gutters to ensure that water flows where you want it to.

If you have water damage due to burst pipes or ice dams this winter, call SERVPRO of Monroe, Randolph & Washington Counties at (618) 464-0300
