SERVPRO Restores after Water Damage

9/14/2024 (Permalink)

Kitchen Water Damage

Water damage can strike at any time, whether from storms, burst pipes, leaking appliances, or flooding. When it does, the damage can be extensive and overwhelming. Acting quickly is key to minimizing the destruction and preventing long-term issues like mold growth or structural damage. SERVPRO of South Atlanta specializes in water damage mitigation and restoration services, ensuring that your home or business is restored to its pre-damage condition as efficiently as possible. Here’s how our team handles water damage and why we’re the go-to restoration experts in the South Atlanta area.

Rapid Response and Assessment

Time is critical when dealing with water damage. The longer water is left untreated, the more damage it can cause. At SERVPRO of South Atlanta, we understand the urgency of the situation, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency services. The moment we receive your call, our highly trained technicians mobilize quickly, arriving at your property to assess the extent of the damage.

During the initial assessment, our team identifies the source of the water and the areas affected. We use advanced moisture detection equipment to locate hidden water damage behind walls, in ceilings, and under floors, ensuring that nothing is missed. This thorough inspection allows us to develop a tailored action plan to address the water damage effectively and prevent further issues.

Water Extraction and Removal

Once the damage has been assessed, the next step in the mitigation process is to remove the water as quickly as possible. Standing water can continue to cause damage to floors, walls, and personal belongings, so immediate action is necessary. SERVPRO of South Atlanta uses industrial-grade pumps, vacuums, and extraction units to remove both standing water and any excess moisture from the affected areas.

We handle all types of water damage, from flooding due to heavy rains or plumbing failures to water from leaking appliances or sewage backups. Our equipment is designed to handle large volumes of water quickly and efficiently, reducing the amount of time your property is exposed to water and the likelihood of secondary damage.

Drying and Dehumidification

After the water has been removed, it’s important to begin the drying process right away. Simply extracting the water isn’t enough—moisture can remain trapped in building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, leading to mold growth and weakening of the structure over time. SERVPRO of South Atlanta uses professional-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the affected areas.

We monitor the drying process closely, using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to ensure that all areas are completely dry. This step is crucial for preventing hidden moisture from causing future problems. Our goal is to eliminate every last drop of water to safeguard your property against long-term damage.

Preventing Mold and Secondary Damage

One of the biggest risks of water damage is the potential for mold growth. Mold can develop in as little as 24-48 hours after water damage occurs, especially in areas with high humidity. Mold not only causes further damage to your property but also poses health risks for those exposed to it.

SERVPRO of South Atlanta takes mold prevention seriously. Our team uses advanced cleaning and sanitizing agents to treat areas affected by water damage, reducing the risk of mold spores taking hold. We also use air scrubbers and other specialized equipment to improve air quality and remove any airborne mold spores or contaminants.

By addressing moisture early and thoroughly, we prevent mold from becoming a larger issue and ensure that your property remains safe and healthy.

Restoration and Repair

Once the water has been extracted and the property has been dried, SERVPRO of South Atlanta begins the restoration process. Depending on the extent of the water damage, this could involve anything from minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and flooring, to more extensive reconstruction work.

Our restoration services include:

-Drywall replacement and painting
-Flooring repairs or replacement
-Ceiling repairs
-Structural repairs
-Content restoration for damaged belongings

SERVPRO of South Atlanta’s team has the skills and experience needed to handle every aspect of the restoration process. Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-damage condition, making it "Like it never even happened." Whether your water damage requires small fixes or large-scale rebuilding, we have you covered.

Working with Your Insurance Company

Dealing with water damage can be stressful, and navigating the insurance claims process only adds to the frustration. At SERVPRO of South Atlanta, we strive to make this process as smooth as possible for you. We work directly with your insurance provider, documenting the damage, preparing estimates, and communicating with adjusters to ensure that everything is covered and the restoration process moves forward without delay.

Outside water pipe after a freeze warning

As we await the summer months in we still have a few cold days ahead of us, one of the primary concerns for both homeowners and business owners alike is the threat of frozen and burst pipes. The powerful pressure created by freezing water can cause pipes to rupture, resulting in extensive water damage and costly repairs. However, with proper preparation and swift action, you can minimize the risk of frozen pipes and effectively handle any potential pipe bursts.

Allow Warm Air to Circulate

Preparing your pipes for the winter is crucial to avoiding the headache and financial burden of burst pipes. One essential step is to ensure your faucets are in good condition. Have them inspected for leaks or malfunctions, and consider replacing washers to ensure a tight seal. Additionally, leaving access doors or hatches slightly open can allow warmer air to circulate in spaces beneath the roof, preventing cold spots where pipes are located. Wrapping insulation around your water tank and pipes, especially those exposed to colder areas such as attics, basements, or crawl spaces, provides an extra layer of protection against freezing temperatures. Don't forget to disconnect and drain all outdoor hoses before a freeze warning to prevent freezing and potential damage.

 Act Swiftly

Despite your best efforts, freezing pipes can still occur. Acting swiftly is vital to prevent further damage if you suspect your pipes have frozen. Start by locating and shutting off the main water supply to your building or business to minimize flooding in case the pipes burst. Then, move any valuable or sensitive items away from the affected area to prevent water damage, and cover electrical boxes near the frozen pipe section to prevent water contact and potential electrical hazards. Check the flow of water from your faucets and toilets to identify potential frozen sections, and gently thaw the frozen pipe using a hairdryer set to low heat or a hot water bottle. Open faucets near the frozen pipe to provide an outlet for melted water, relieving pressure and preventing potential bursting.

If All Else Fails...

In the unfortunate event that your pipes do burst, it's crucial to act quickly to minimize water damage and begin the restoration process. Start by locating and shutting off the main water supply to your building or business immediately to prevent further flooding. Then, open all cold water faucets and flush toilets to drain as much water as possible from the system and minimize additional water damage. Turn off your heating system and open hot water faucets to drain the system, and shut down any nearby electrical boxes to prevent electrical hazards. If safe to do so, remove standing water using buckets, mops, or a wet/dry vacuum, and document the damage with photographs and detailed notes to aid in filing an insurance claim.

Finally, SERVPRO of South Atlanta to assess and repair the burst pipes, and keep copies of all receipts and documentation for insurance purposes.

Preparation is key when it comes to preventing frozen and burst pipes. By taking the necessary precautions, such as insulating pipes and disconnecting outdoor hoses, you can significantly reduce the risk of costly water damage. However, if you do experience frozen or burst pipes, it's crucial to act swiftly. Turn off the water supply, locate and thaw frozen sections, and contact professionals for repairs and assistance. Remember to document the damage and contact your insurance company to facilitate the claims process. By following these steps, you can navigate through the challenges of frozen and burst pipes and restore your property efficiently.

SERVPRO of South Atlanta Presents: Black History Month

2/27/2024 (Permalink)

These seven women broke the gender barrier becoming the first black women hired by AFRD

Fire Station No. 16 in Atlanta holds significant historical importance as it served as the pioneering ground for the city's first African American firefighters. Stemming from a pivotal moment during the Civil Rights Movement, Ivan Allen responded to the Black Community's plea by authorizing the hiring of the initial 16 black male firefighters. This groundbreaking decision marked a turning point in Atlanta's history, symbolizing a crucial step towards integration within the city's fire department. These 16 men, trained and housed at Station No. 16, courageously paved the way for further diversity and inclusivity, laying the foundation for Atlanta's Fire Department to evolve into a force comprised of over 50% African American personnel today.

Honoring Atlanta’s Black Heroes

At SERVPRO of South Atlanta, our close collaboration with first responders not only fosters a deep appreciation for their historic journey in safeguarding lives, but also strengthens the bonds of camaraderie and mutual respect within our community. It's moments like these, honoring the resilience and dedication of those who have paved the way for progress, that remind us of the importance of acknowledging and celebrating Black History. And there is A LOT to celebrate! We take immense pride in standing alongside these courageous individuals and recognizing their invaluable contributions to the safety and well-being of our neighborhoods.

The Magnificent Seven

Among the beneficiaries of the initial 16 hires were the Magnificent Seven, a group of pioneering African American female firefighters. Liz R. Summers, Lisa Bradley, Sheila Calloway, Louvenia Jenkins, Janice Jones, Sheila Kirkland, and Emma C. Morris emerged as trailblazers in their field. Their entry into the Atlanta Fire Department marked a significant milestone in 1977 when Mayor Maynard Jackson made a committed effort to recruit the first seven female African American firefighters. 

Bravery At Its Best

Undoubtedly, these women confronted and surmounted numerous challenges throughout their careers, both within the fire department and from the communities they served. Their journey as the first female African American firefighters in Atlanta is a testament to their extraordinary resilience, determination, and bravery. They embody qualities of perseverance, endurance, grit, courage, and tenacity, serving as inspirational figures whose accomplishments transcend the barriers they faced. Their unwavering commitment to their profession and their communities serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for generations to come.

Our Pioneers Today

Presently, Liz R. Summers savors her retirement following a distinguished career that includes notable achievements, such as being part of Atlanta's first mother and son firefighting team and rising to the rank of battalion chief. Sheila Calloway, along with an accomplished career is also mother to renowned recording artist CeeLo Green, she has left her mark on Atlanta's firefighting legacy. Additionally, Emma C. Morris made historical achievement as Atlanta's inaugural female fire truck driver, showcasing the groundbreaking contributions of these remarkable women in the firefighting profession.

SERVPRO of South Atlanta’s Most Heart Felt Thanks

As we reflect on the rich tapestry of Black History Month, it becomes evident that the legacy of resilience, determination, and groundbreaking achievements continues to shape our communities. The stories of the first African American firefighters in Atlanta, the trailblazing Magnificent Seven, and the remarkable careers of all Black Firefighters serve as powerful reminders of the enduring impact of individuals who dare to break barriers and pave the way for progress. At SERVPRO of South Atlanta, we stand in awe of their courage and dedication, and we are honored to pay tribute to their indelible contributions to our collective history. As we celebrate Black History Month and beyond, let us not only acknowledge the past but also commit ourselves to building a future that honors and uplifts the legacies of those who have come before us.

Maintain Your Appliances to Avoid Expensive Damage | SERVPRO of South Atlanta

5/3/2023 (Permalink)

Even a small leak from your water heater can cause big problems. Don't ignore the signs of water damage and call SERVPRO of South Atlanta.

When you’re short on time or just feeling a bit lazy, household appliances can come in handy. These gadgets can be a huge help around the house, but when they break down unexpectedly, you may find yourself in more trouble than you anticipated.

Water damage caused by excess moisture and leakage is a common consequence of malfunctioning appliances. Appliance problems can go undetected for a long time, leaving you to deal with water damage that has gotten out of control.

Fortunately, you can avoid these problems entirely by keeping your appliances under control and knowing how to avert a potential water emergency in your Atlanta home.

Regular Maintenance

Keeping an eye out for early signs of water damage is the key to avoiding expensive issues in the future. A quick look around is all it takes to find out if you’re dealing with excess moisture.

Leakage can creep under your refrigerator or dishwasher where you can’t see, though, so you’ll need to watch out for sudden puddles or wet spots. Moving large appliances out of the way will give you a better look and allow you to perform a deep-clean while you’re at it.

Your HVAC system should also be a point of emphasis. Besides having it looked at by a professional once a year, you should also search on your own for indicators of excess moisture or mold growth around your vents and unit.

Your water heater will need some love, too! If you don’t check for leaks and other issues, your heater can easily cause a water damage dilemma.

Yearly or Long-Term Maintenance

Regular inspections are a smart way to avoid significant damage, but you must also have your equipment serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s proposed schedule.

Ensure the hoses and tubing attached to your fridge, washing machine and dishwasher are free of punctures, kinks and other signs of damage. Every device has a distinct shelf life, and damaged components need to be replaced to avoid complications.

To avoid facing unexpected malfunctions, you should also ensure every appliance in your home is up to date and consider investing in a replacement every 10 to 15 years.

Treat every sign of appliance water damage with urgency to avoid expensive damage in the future. Catching problems before they worsen will allow you to use your appliances to their fullest for years to come!

The Vital Basics of Smoke Alarm Maintenance | SERVPRO of South Atlanta

4/7/2023 (Permalink)

Check the batteries in your smoke detectors regularly to better protect the one you love and your property.

Smoke alarms are essential to your Atlanta home, and you may not realize it until the day comes when they save your life. While it is easy to forget about this tool when it isn’t beeping in your ears, you must keep it in order to keep everyone in your home safe.

Smoke alarms shouldn’t be ignored once they’re installed, and they’ll require your ongoing maintenance to stay in good working order. When flames finally appear, the work you put in to keep your alarms in working order could mean the difference between life and death!

Follow our recommendations for maintaining your smoke alarm and keeping your Atlanta home free of fire for years to come:

What’s That Beeping Noise?

When you first hear a smoke alarm beep, it can make you panic and cause you to run around your house looking for a fire. If there is no smoke, that annoying chirping could indicate that your smoke alarm needs to be serviced.

Low batteries are the most common cause of a misbehaving smoke alarm. When the batteries in your alarm begin to fail, you’ll hear a chirping sound every now and then, indicating that it needs to be replaced.

Another common cause of beeping is that your alarm needs to be completely replaced. Replacing the batteries will not suffice in this case, and you will need to have a new model installed.

Keep Everything in Check

To protect your ears from that painful beeping when there’s no fire to be found, you’ll need to perform constant TLC! These actions will ensure your smoke alarms are on the job if flames were to break out.

You shouldn’t just check the batteries in your smoke alarms when the time changes; you should check them at the end of each month! This will ensure all of your alarms are in good working order all year long.

With working batteries, smoke alarms can stay in working order for a long time, but they don’t last forever! Retire all of your alarms after 10 years and replace them with a new model.

Are They in the Correct Location?

Your smoke alarms will work best if you install the appropriate number in the appropriate spots in your Atlanta home. This ensures that your home’s alarms notify you as soon as there is a fire.

The amount you need in your home will vary depending on its size, but it’s a good idea to keep one on each level, inside each bedroom and hallway. Keep them a safe distance away from your cooking appliances, bathrooms and windows to avoid false alarms.

Once your alarms are placed perfectly, remember to test them every month to ensure every alarm inside your home is good to go!

When you have major fire damage, SERVPRO of South Atlanta is here to help. Give us a call, and we’ll rapidly eliminate traces of smoke, soot and flames!

These Things Could Start a Fire in Your Atlanta Home | SERVPRO of South Atlanta

4/3/2023 (Permalink)

If your Atlanta home suffers fire or smoke damage call SERVPRO of South Atlanta. We make Atlanta fire and smoke damage "Like it never even happened."

There is never just one cause for a fire, and while most fires start in the kitchen, there are numerous other dangers that can lead to disaster. Your Atlanta home contains a few items that, if you are not aware of their impact, could easily spark a fire.

These items may appear to be harmless on the surface, but if not handled carefully, they can quickly ignite. These household components don’t have to be hazardous; there are numerous preventive measures that can assist you in keeping flames at bay.

Read on to learn about a variety of items you might find placed within your Atlanta home that could spark a fire if you aren’t careful.

Candles

Candles are a common household item used to add ambiance or keep the house smelling fresh, but they are also one of the leading causes of house fires. Candles catch fire when they are left unattended, knocked over or come into contact with another flammable object.

One way to avoid flames is to ensure that any candle you light is supervised until you decide to leave the room. You should also light all candles on a sturdy surface to avoid accidentally knocking them over.

Real candles may not be the safest to use in your home if you are clumsy or forgetful, so why not try the alternative? Candle alternatives can provide a pleasant aroma and warm lighting in your home without using an open flame.

Faulty Outlets

Electrical fires are another common reason for household flames, with faulty electrical outlets being the main culprit. You could be plugging your electronics into a faulty outlet without noticing all of the warning signs.

Check the outlets around your home for melted plastic, a burnt odor or a warm covering. If you notice any of these signs, refrain from using the outlet and have the issue repaired as soon as possible.

The Fireplace

Aside from an outdoor fire pit, the only place on your property where you can safely light a fire is a wood-burning fireplace. Because its primary purpose is to contain flames, you may believe it is safe to use as long as it is supervised, but dust, dirt and other debris can pose an unexpected danger.

If you have a fireplace in your Atlanta home, you may not use it much as the warm weather approaches, making it the ideal time to do some spring-cleaning! Regular maintenance will help you avoid the spread of flames when you decide to fire up the fireplace when winter returns.

Contact SERVPRO after flames break out in your home for a rapid response. Our expert team can restore your losses and return you to a flame-free home.

Teach Your Atlanta Employees to Operate Fire Extinguishers | SERVPRO of South Atlanta

3/29/2023 (Permalink)

Dealing with the aftermath of a commercial fire? SERVPRO of South Atlanta is your local restoration expert.

Every commercial team needs workplace training, and overcoming any challenge doesn’t begin until you’ve received the right instruction. However, training shouldn’t just focus on getting through a typical workday; your team also needs to learn how to handle a crisis!

Fire extinguisher training may not seem like a priority at first because it seems to be a simple task, but your employees may be less knowledgeable than you think! Going over the fundamentals is the best way to ensure your entire team knows how to operate this lifesaving tool when the time comes to use it.

*Work your way to a fire-ready business by helping your Atlanta team master the fire extinguisher basics.

Start With the Fundamentals

OSHA mandates that all businesses that have fire extinguishers on site conduct the necessary training needed to use them. This will involve hands-on training as well as information on where to use them and the various kinds of extinguishers available.

Begin by demonstrating the correct way to hold and aim the extinguisher. After this, instruct employees to pull the pin, grab the handle and brush over the flames. Inform them to keep six to eight feet away from the blaze throughout their training.

If you’re afraid your training won’t stick, go over the PASS acronym to give your team a way to recall what you’ve taught. Going over this information yearly will also help new employees—and even the most experienced ones—retain your instructions.

To avoid confusion if flames were to appear, you’ll need to select a few well-trained members to be in charge of this lifesaving tool. Assigning roles will ensure any controllable fire emergency is handled correctly and as fast as possible.

There’s a Time and a Place

Warn your team about fire hazards that could necessitate the utilization of fire extinguishers to ensure they are used when needed. Go over any particular incidents or distinct dangers in your workplace that could lead to a fire, as well as the category of fire extinguisher that needs to be used.

While knowing when to use an extinguisher is critical, so is knowing when to put it down and walk away. This lifesaving tool can aid in the prevention of a widespread disaster, but there are times when the spread of flames is beyond your control, regardless of how much fire extinguisher training you’ve received.

Let your employees know that when flames become uncontrollable, it’s time to walk away, evacuate the building and contact authorities.

Hands-on fire extinguisher training is a simple task that will prepare your team when flames ignite. Once you’ve made it through the basics, you can work with your employees to create a fire-ready plan to ensure no one is left in the dark during a fire emergency.

Dealing with the aftermath of a commercial fire? Our SERVPRO specialists can restore your losses and return your workplace to its pre-fire condition.

Enter the Spring Season Damage-Free | SERVPRO of South Atlanta

3/27/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is here to help restore your property to preloss condition, if it has been damaged during a storm or flood event.

Spring is on its way, and we welcome this change in the weather with open arms! Before you dive into your springtime preparations, though, it’s a good idea to give your home a checkup to ensure it’s ready for the new season.

Spring weather like wind, rainstorms and other weather catastrophes could cause serious problems if you aren’t prepared.

Getting a few outdoor maintenance chores out of the way will help you avoid major water damage when spring rolls around. We compiled a guide to help you get started on your spring-cleaning:

Clean It Out

As spring slowly creeps up on us, there might be a few issues left over from winter that you’ll need to check for. Debris buildup from the winter weather can clog your home’s vents, gutters and downspouts.

Excess debris may appear to be insignificant, but the water that cannot flow smoothly through your gutters or downspouts will eventually overflow onto your roof! Check your gutters, downspouts and vents for clogs, and ensure they are cleared before spring arrives.

Since you’re already outside, check your outdoor faucets for any leaks or cracks as a precaution. Like most of the South, we did have one period of deep-freeze this winter, so you might be dealing with a frozen pipe. Frozen pipes can lead to a major water emergency when the spring weather starts to warm up.

Fix Issues Fast

We spend as much time as possible inside our warm homes during the winter. Being inside so much can cause us to ignore vital issues up on the roof or outside the home. These issues will only worsen when spring rolls in, so it’s best to get them repaired as early as possible.

Atlanta might not have been hit by a crazy snowstorm, but winter winds are enough to take a toll on your roof! Ensure intense winds didn’t leave you with any broken shingles, misplaced gutters or any other forms of roof damage.

The smallest leaks can escalate into a severe water emergency when that first spring shower passes over Atlanta. Getting these issues fixed early on will ensure you aren’t dealing with an unexpected disaster come springtime!

Get Ready for the Water

A sump pump is a crucial tool that can save your basement and foundation from expensive water damage. Make sure this vital gadget is working before spring arrives to avoid destruction from equipment failures or blockages.

Spring weather can turn dangerous fast, so it’s crucial to ensure you are ready for anything by updating your emergency kit, running through your storm safety strategy and finding new methods to stay updated on local weather.

When water damage catches you off-guard, SERVPRO of South Atlanta will be here around the clock to lend a hand! We can be at your side rapidly to begin the restoration process and return your home to its former glory.

Got water damage? We are here to help ²⁴⁄₇ and can restore your home quickly.
