Veteran Program: DRIVEN TO SERV
11/6/2023 (Permalink)
SERVPRO understands the value that veterans, military spouses, veteran caregivers, and disabled veterans bring to our SERVPRO family.
Being a veteran is a lifelong title, including the many whose lives were shortened because of their sacrifice. This designation separates you from the general public, even though your job is to protect and serve them. There is a common bond naturally created between fellow veterans and impossible to fully comprehend by those who haven’t served. While serving, there is always the overhang of uncertainty, both individually and family.
Being a veteran is an honor, worthy of unlimited sacrifice and the reason we all go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning under our flag of freedom. The values and character built thorough military service align well with those of SERVPRO, and it makes perfect sense to recruit into our organization as many veterans as possible.
The dedication, duty, and loyalty that a veteran exuberates is unparalleled. They not only know but have lived the true meaning of what it means to be a part of a team.
We have the goal of hiring 1,000 veterans, military spouses, and caregivers of disabled veterans by the end of 2022 and would love nothing more than for them to join our One Team! Please ask your veterans, military spouses, and caregivers of disabled veterans to self-identify on SERVPRONET.
We currently have more than 175 military hires throughout our system, but we know there are more. We ask you to share our One Team goal to accomplish our mission of hiring service members.
From one service member to another, thank you for your service to not only our United States of America, but also your service here at SERVPRO. Happy Veteran’s Day!

Understanding Water Damage
Before diving into water remediation, it's crucial to understand the various ways water damage can affect your home. Water damage can be categorized into three main types:
Category 1 Water Damage: This type of damage is caused by clean water sources, such as burst pipes, overflowing sinks, or rainwater. While the water itself may be clean, it can quickly become contaminated if left untreated.
Category 3 Water Damage: Gray water contains contaminants that may not be harmful initially but can become dangerous if left untreated. This includes water from washing machines, dishwashers, or sump pumps.
Category 3: Black water is the most hazardous type of water damage. It often contains sewage, chemicals, and other harmful substances. This type of damage typically results from flooding or sewage backups.

Drying and Dehumidification: After water removal, we focus on drying the affected areas to prevent mold growth and further damage. Industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers are used for this purpose.
Cleaning and Sanitizing: We clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and belongings. This step helps eliminate contaminants and odors.
Restoration: The final step involves restoring your home to its pre-damage condition. This may include minor repairs or major reconstruction, depending on the severity of the damage.

Restaurant Fire Damage Prevention
9/27/2022 (Permalink)
If you experience a fire in your restaurant, the first step is hiring fire damage restoration professionals and getting your business back running
Fire damage doesn’t just happen in homes, it can happen to commercial properties as well. Restaurants are no exception. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are around 8, 000 fires at restaurants each year. As a result of these fires, there are around 115 injuries, and $245 million+ in property damage for restaurants across the country. So, as a restaurant owner, how do you keep your customers, employees, and property safe from fire damage? Here are some helpful tips on restaurant fire damage prevention and how to handle a fire in your restaurant.
Train your Employees
Part of any successful fire prevention plan is to always be ready for an emergency. It’s important that you have an emergency evacuation plan in place in case of a fire or another emergency. Keep the plan written out in a place where everyone can access it and practice it at least twice a year. Make sure every employee knows where the fire extinguishers and power sources are located and where they should store all flammable materials.
It’s also important that your team knows about each different type of fire and how to extinguish them. For example, you should never throw water on a grease fire. Appliances and other equipment should be inspected every few months by a professional to make sure everything is in working order.
Keep Your Space Neat and Tidy
A messy and unorganized kitchen is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires. To keep your space free of fire hazards it’s important for your team to place things back where they belong after they are used. If you have any employees who smoke, make sure that they smoke outdoors and always put their cigarettes out. For the safety of your customers and employees, you should also make sure all exit signs are properly labeled and there is a clear path to them at all times in case of an emergency.
