Are you prepared for Storm Surge?

9/29/2021 (Permalink)

Don’t let October pull tricks on you, it’s still hurricane season! One common damage caused by hurricanes is flooding from storm surge.  Although hurricanes are well known for their strong and destructive winds, a hurricane’s storm surge is by far the greatest threat to life and property along the immediate coast.  Storm surge is simply water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm. This advancing surge combines with the normal tides to create the hurricane storm tide, which can increase the mean water level by 15 feet or more. In addition, wind-driven waves are superimposed on the storm tide. This rise in water level can cause severe flooding in coastal areas, particularly when the storm tide coincides with the normal high tides. Because much of the United States' densely populated Atlantic and Gulf Coast coastlines lie less than 10 feet above mean sea level, the danger from storm surges is tremendous.  

If you have damage from storm surge, give us a call at (912)-234-9690. We will work hard to make it "Like it never even happened."®

8/23/2021 (Permalink)

When your Savannah home or business suffers fire damage, it can be devastating. After the fire has been put out, you may be wondering what you can and cannot do until help arrives to being restoring your home. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts that can help you get started:  

What To Do After A Fire 

• Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets. 
• Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls and woodwork. 

• Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery and carpet traffic areas. 
• If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open. 
• Clean and protect chrome with light coating of petroleum jelly or oil. 
• Wash houseplants on both sides of leaves. 
• Change HVAC filter. 

• Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers. 

What NOT To Do After A Fire 

• Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us.

• Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.

The Process of Fire Damage Restoration

8/19/2021 (Permalink)

After a fire, the smoke and fire damage are often paired with extensive water damage from firefighting efforts. Since every fire damage is a little different, at SERVPRO of Savannah, we create unique solutions with a process that relatively stays the same. Check out the steps below to understand our process during a typical fire emergency:  

Step 1: Emergency Contact 

The restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask questions regarding the fire damage event that will help us respond immediately with the appropriate equipment and resources.  

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment 

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.  

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service 

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.  

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present) 

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.  

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces 

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces.  

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing 

We clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment. 

Step 7: Restoration 

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. 

Although our process stays mostly the same, we are prepared to restore your home or business with unique solutions, specific to your needs. If you have fire damage, give us a call at (912)-234-9690. SERVPRO of Savannah will restore your home “Like it never even happened.”
