BE PREPARED! Things you can do now that will make your home disaster claim go smoother

4/26/2021 (Permalink)

  1. Make an inventory list
    1. Go through each room of your home and take photos from each corner. Note the photos, art and other possessions. Take close-ups of items of exceptional value, whether sentimental or financial.
    2. List items on a spreadsheet, include model and serial numbers, manufacture dates, and other pertinent information.
    3. Include a general estimate of the quantity of everyday items like silverware, linens, and even clothing items. Ex: 10 Men’s T-shirts - XL, 4 men’s dress slacks - Size 34/32
  2. Scan or photograph important documents and save onto a flash drive.

These can help you obtain replacement documents, or file claims in the event your originals are destroyed. Don’t forget to include your inventory list. NOTE: keep this drive in a safe, fireproof location, or in a safe deposit box at the bank. Be sure to update the files every year, or any time something changes.

  1. Don’t hold on to junk!

Get rid of unused, broken, or unwanted items as soon as possible. When you have damage to your home, some or all of your contents, down to canned goods and refrigerated items, may have to be removed (and inventoried) during repairs. Save yourself and your SERVPRO technicians some time by throwing out or donating your unused items regularly.

  1. Schedule an insurance review with your agent.

Familiarize yourself with your coverages, limits, deductibles, and exclusions. Talking with your agent and asking questions ahead of time, will prevent unexpected and unwelcome surprises at claim time. Many times we depend on our agents to have us “fully covered”, but everyone is different, and so are our insurance needs.

  1. Lastly, if something should happen – DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!

Call us at SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties. Your first instinct in a disaster will be to try to restore order. You’ll want to pick up, or attempt to clean and sort damaged items. Truthfully, that’s the last thing you should do and here’s why:

  1. It may not be safe to be in your home, or to handle the contents. This will depend on the type and severity of damage, but safety must come first.
  2. You may inadvertently cause irreparable damage to your possessions. SERVPRO professionals are trained to handle contents, clean or contaminated, without causing further damage or contamination.

Call SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties! We’re here for you 24/7!

Your Springtime Chore List Made Simple

3/22/2021 (Permalink)

Porch swing in springtime setting Relax and unwind knowing SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties has your back!

Spring is here! While the blooming flowers and green grass can be a refreshing change from the cold, it’s also a great time to do some chores you’ve been putting off. Here’s our take on the most important spring chores, and a few pro tips to help make your life easier.

  • Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. We don’t need to tell you how important this is!
  • Conduct a thorough outside inspection of your home and property. Check the foundation for cracks or leaks. Check decks, windows and doors for any repairs needed. Take a stroll around the yard and fencing to check for ankle-twisting holes or fencing repairs that need to be done.
  • Clean and install window screens. Keep the critters and insects outside while enjoying the comfortable breezes of spring.
  • Inspect and clean appliances. Check for water leaks, broken wires, filter replacements and any other problems. Pull appliance away from the wall and thoroughly clean lint and dust buildup. While you’re at it, go ahead and clean out your dryer vents. Not only are full vents a fire hazard, but they cause your dryer to work harder, which could lead to costly repairs or even replacement.
  • Clear the gutters and downspouts. Fall leaves can fill gutters quickly, and cause poor draining, as well as damage the gutters themselves.

PRO TIP! - While you’re on the ladder, take a quick look at the roof. Check for missing or damaged shingles, satellite dish connections and attic vents.

  • Clean ceiling fans and light fixtures. Remove and wash globes, replace blown bulbs and wipe down the surfaces. Be on the lookout for broken or burnt wiring and components.

PRO TIP! Check to make sure your ceiling fan blades are spinning clockwise to pull warmer air up and out. In the fall, reverse direction to push the warmer air down toward the floor.

  • Clean the patio, grill, and outdoor furniture. Pressure wash the patios, porches and decks. Empty ashes and scrape grill racks. Check gas grills and tanks for leaks. Wipe down outdoor furniture and cushions, and add some new pillows or accents in bright, fun colors.

PRO TIP! On wooden surfaces, be sure to spray with the grain of wood to prevent splintering and damage. If water doesn’t bead up on the surface, it may be time to reseal.

  •  Perform maintenance on your mower and yard equipment. Inspect blades and belts, check the spark plugs, and change the oil and filters if applicable. Wind some new string in your weed trimmer.

PRO TIP! Never cut off more than a third of the length of a blade of grass. Leaving some length will keep the roots shaded and promote deeper roots and promote fullness.

PRO TIP! When mowing on a hill, mow up and down with a riding mower, and mow across when using a push-mower.

PRO TIP! Water your grass in the early morning to allow the sun to help with drying. Prolonged moisture on the blades can lead to disease and deteriorate the beautiful lawn you’ve worked so hard to grow.

House Fire? What to do when the smoke clears...

1/28/2020 (Permalink)

This dining room was affected heavily by smoke damage. Our SERVPRO heroes are trained and equipped to sort it out and clean it up. Give us a call!

Once the flames are out and everyone’s accounted for, the long road to recovery begins. Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed, there are many resources available to help you get through it. Here’s a basic to-do list to help you get started.

  • Make sure the house has been cleared and deemed safe for entry.
  • DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING! Don’t attempt to remove or clean anything. Fire damage and especially soot and smoke damage can be difficult to clean. Also, oils from your skin or any other cleaning products could cause further damage, and even ruin your belongings. It’s best to leave the clean up to the professionals.
  • Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to get your claim started. An adjuster will most likely need to visit the home to assess the damage.
  • Document everything. While we don’t recommend you touch or move anything, it is important to keep a list, with photos where possible, of ruined or damaged items. This will help you and your insurance company make sure the items get replaced.
  • Finally, call SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties. We’ll handle the rest! We’ll work with your insurance company and you to get your home cleaned, repaired and restored as quickly as possible. We’ll pack, inventory and clean your belongings using our SERVPRO exclusive products and training. Don’t worry, we’ll take special care of your trinkets and treasures. Finally, when repairs are complete and the cleaning is done, we’ll return your cleaned contents, and even help you unpack!

Indoor Air Pollution and Air Sampling

1/27/2020 (Permalink)

We’re all aware of the toxic chemicals that are labeled as poisons, and to be cautious about our exposure to them, but what about those seemingly harmless products that can cause their own nasty symptoms? Things like household cleaners, paints, cosmetics and even furnishings and clothing can cause indoor air pollution.

Been feeling a little nauseous, congested or fatigued with no explanation or underlying cause? Do you have an odor, but you can’t quite find the source? Are you remodeling? Upgrading or replacing your HVAC system? Have you recently had some sort of damage or disaster in or around your home? If you answered yes to any of these, then indoor air testing may be a good choice. SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy counties is trained, qualified and able to collect air samples, and perform remediation based on your test results.

Our testing can detect several pollutants in the air, including VOC’s (volatile organic compounds), mold spores, pet dander, and others. We’ll then provide you with a full lab report, including findings, normal levels, and protocols for treatment.
