Restoring Faith in the Savannah Community

3/7/2025 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Savannah specializes in the clean up and restoration of many commercial and residential properties. We have had the opportunity to rebuild the city of Savannah community by helping numerous businesses, homes, and organizations recover from unexpected disasters. There is something particularly meaningful when we have the opportunity to serve our local churches. These sacred spaces are not just buildings, they are pillars of the community, places of worship, compassion, and fellowship. When disaster strikes, the impact goes beyond just structural damage, it affects the heart of the community.

We take pride in the role we play in restoring these vital spaces, ensuring they remain safe and welcoming. The trust that local churches place in SERVPRO of Savannah means the world to us, and it is a responsibility we take very seriously.

The Importance of Churches in the Community

Local churches often represent more than a place of worship, they are also central of community engagement, outreach, and support. Whether it is a small chapel or a large congregation hall, these spaces host everything from Sunday services to community dinners, weddings, and funerals. When disaster strikes, it can interrupt not just these events, but the sense of peace and sanctuary that people in the community depend on. The restoration process requires more than just a quick repair, whether we are dealing with water damage, fire damage, or mold. It takes highly trained professionals who pay close attention to detail and understand how vital these spaces are to the community.

A Thank You to Our Community

As we reflect on the privilege of working with our local churches, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to those organizations for trusting us with their restoration needs. We are honored to play a part in helping them recover after unexpected events.

At SERVPRO of Savannah, we are here for you when you need us most. We believe in restoring more than just buildings. We are restring faith, hope, and community

The Importance of Treating Mold

3/7/2025 (Permalink)

Molds are a natural part of the environment and can be found almost anywhere that has moisture and oxygen. This makes it nearly impossible to eliminate all mold from your home or business. However, professional mold remediation can effectively treat and remove mold. This process helps reduce the mold spore count to its natural or baseline levels.

What is Mold?

Mold produces tiny spores to reproduce, and these spores are constantly carried through the air, both indoors and outdoors. When the spores land on a damp surface indoors, they may begin to grow and digest the material they are on to survive. Some molds can thrive on wood, paper, carpet, and food. Mold growth often occurs when there is excessive moisture or water accumulation indoors.

Ways to Help Prevent Mold

There are several ways to help control mold growth, and the key factor is managing moisture. First, fix any leaks or seepage by repairing leaky pipes and faucets. Improve ventilation by opening doors between rooms to enhance air circulation. Additionally, consider using mold-resistant materials in your home or business.

SERVPRO is Here to Help

SERVPRO of Savannah specializes in mold remediation, employing highly trained professionals who utilize specialized equipment and techniques. We effectively remediate your mold issue as quickly as possible while ensuring safety.

Restoring Water Damage in the City of Savannah

3/7/2025 (Permalink)

Disasters such as flooding and water emergencies are often unexpected and can be very stressful. SERVPRO of Savannah offers 24/7 emergency cleaning and restoration services. Approximately 37% of U.S. homeowners report experiencing losses due to water damage. Whether caused by a leaky roof, burst pipe, or appliance leak, knowing how to respond immediately after water damage occurs can significantly reduce the long-term effects and costs. Water spreads quickly and can be absorbed by floors, walls, personal belongings, and furniture.

What to do Until Help Arrives

SERVPRO of Savannah is here to help and starts the water extraction process almost immediately. While you wait for our trained professionals to arrive, you can take a few steps.

• Stop the source of water: Locate the leak and shut off the water supply immediately if it is safe to do so.
• Protect and preserve contents: Remove valuable belongings.
• Turn off circuit breakers for wet areas if access to the power distribution panel is safe.
• Do not use a household vacuum, do not use wet electronics or electrical appliances, and do not turn on wet ceiling fixtures.

It is important to treat and respond to water damage immediately. Within 48 hours a week, mold and mildew may grow and spread, causing possible serious biohazard contamination. Restoration time and cost increase drastically and replacing contaminated materials and structural rebuilding may be extensive.

Are You Seeing Growth?

1/10/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO® of Savannah handles water damages everyday and knows that prompt action is required to prevent secondary damage. Microbial growth is more likely to spread when an environment has been subject to moisture for a long period of time.  If your property has experienced a recent water damage, it is vital to remove excess water and dry the structure promptly.  If there is an ongoing moisture problem in the building, it is important to be alert for:

• The presence of visible microbial growth.
• Strong musty odors
• Any evidence of past moisture problems 
• Excessive humidity.

If your home or business has this issue, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to perform remediation.
