When an average water damage occurs to the a customer home that carpet can be dried and cleaned. But when the backing begins to separate it is no longer able to be reused. The backing tends to separate after it's been in contact with water for several days before drying begins or in a high traffic area or just due to age. 

Anytime you experience a  water damage to your home or business it's important to use a professional water restoration. This machine being used in the photo is a weighted exaction, use to remove water with the assistance of a rider's weight. It's commonly used on highly saturated carpets and glue down carpets.  

The DefendAir HEPA 500 Air Scrubber uses HEPA filter media with an efficiency rating of 99.97% against 0.3-micron oily aerosol particles and provides 250 to 500 CFM, the typical airflow level demanded on restoration jobs.

After a home experiences a fire damage it can leave the home un-identifiable. This fire was caused by cooking in the garage and the fire fighters had some challenges controlling the fire. 

This is a trailer mount desiccant dehumidifier used in Large Loss commercial jobs. The difference from a regular dehumidifier is that this piece of equipment introduces extreme dry and hot air to the environment .

In case of an electrical fire, make sure you do not use water to put out the fire. If the fire is small and you see something starting to smoke and catch on fire, turn off the circuit at the breaker, if its plugged into a wall then unplug and use a fire extinguisher to put out any flames. If no appropriate fire extinguisher is available, you can also use baking soda to extinguish an electrical fire. Typically, an overloaded circuit will flip a breaker. If you know a circuit is being overloaded but the breaker didn't trip, if you can safely do so, you should turn off the breaker yourself or flip the main breaker to the whole house. If you have had a fire, find an electrician to evaluate what you'll need to do to prevent another fire from occurring.

Tornadoes are scary in every aspect. The aftermath is a very scary thing as well. SERVPRO is there to help clean up all of the pieces.

When you own a commercial building, the stakes to keep your occupants safe is much higher. Whether you run a school, hospital, office building or government structure, indoor air quality is by far an important factor.

What happens when your occupants start complaining of a musky smell, or even worse, their allergies are acting up? You need to make sure that if mold is the culprit, that you act fast to avoid any further damage. Mold Removal Team understands the nuances of remediation of ANY commercial building.

Getting your air conditioning ducts cleaned is very important but often forgotten! When was the last time you got your ducts cleaned?

The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:

• Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
• May help to eliminate offensive odors.
• Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.

This picture shows an abandoned house that suffered severe mold infestations throughout the kitchen and an adjoining room. We had donned our HAZMAT clothing and gear before we started the demolition of these rooms. After tossing the cabinets, fixtures, and drywall down to the studs, we began the mold remediation with our equipment and products.

The most common causes for water damage are:

• Leaky roof

• Burst pipe

• Faulty window and door installations

• Broken or leaking water lines

• Leaky toilet

It's important to keep an eye out for these causes so you can catch them early on and avoid expensive water damage to your home.

The 1st step to being prepared is to have a plan! There's no where that plan matters most than at home with the ones you love. Do you have a family emergency plan?

This water heater leak in the basement resulted in a water damage affecting several areas. SERVPRO of Tupelo was able to arrive to the home and begin the restoration process immediately. We are available 24/7/365 and are always here to help! 

According to FEMA, failure to clean home dryers casues 34% of home dryer fires. Home dryer fires cause $35 Million in property loss and even can cause injury or death. To reduce the risk of these fires happening in your own home or business, SERVPRO can help clean dryer vents and ducts that may have lint buildup.

Other tips for keeping your dryer vents clean from the National Fire Protection Agency include cleaning the lint filter befroe and after each each load, and making sure the outdoor vent flap will openand is not restricted by snow, a birds nest or other potential obsticles.

If your home or business is ever affected by fire or smoke damage due to a dryer fire, call us in for a free estimate. Our trained professionals will work with you and your insurance to asses the damage and come up with a plan to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

Technicians block or pad furniture to ensure it is not damaged by wet flooring after a water loss. This also protects carpet from stain or dye from that may come off of wet furniture after a water loss.

Water damage can be deceptive. Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters. Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage. This damage, at a minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage will surface when materials delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly repairs are required.

Bedrooms are where fires often start. More than 600 lives were lost due to fire that started in the bedroom. Common causes of these fires are electrical devices that were left unattended. These are just some basic reminders to keep you safe.

• Children are at a higher risk for deaths caused by bedroom fires. They are prone to playing with matches. In their bedroom, minimize materials that are easily combustible. Inform your child of the dangers of playing with fire.
• Do not plug cords near beds. Do not trap cords near the wall or place them under carpets. Also, do not leave laptops on your bed.
• Never smoke in bed – No matter how conscious you are.

Bedroom fire safety is not difficult. Giving attention to small details can make a big impact, and will give you safety and peace of mind. Emergency preparedness and knowledge of fire safety are a must in order to protect your family.

Here is a great example of what mold looks like when it is growing in your home.  Mold can appear anywhere.  The growth occurs where there is moisture that does not dry.  It is a good idea to have monthly checks around your home where there could be possible water leakage issues, such as around the air conditioner, around the sinks, around bathroom faucets, around the washing machine, and around the toilet.  These are not the only places you should check, but keep an open mind and make sure you are paying attention to signs of mold and mildew in your home.  Check out the picture so that you are aware of what the growth could look like in your home.  When something does not look right to you, call us at SERVPRO of Tupelo to put your mind at ease. 662-690-6502.

The Storm Damage Team from SERVPRO of Tupelo helps local franchises in New York following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. As you can see this home was badly damaged by rising flood waters from a nearby river. River water or ground water entering a structure from a flood must be considered grossly contaminated. 

Generally, storm flooding requires that affected porous materials inside a home or building must be removed.  Less porous, or non-porous surfaces, such as concrete floors and the studs can usually be saved and cleaned to a sanitary condition.

 

This is what our guys found this morning while doing a standard duct cleaning! When was the last time you got your ducts cleaned?? It is recommended to get them cleaned every 10 years but this picture may change your mind!

Mold is a really big bother and not only some of the time but all of the time. Mold grows on an abundance of things but it seeks MOISTURE, WARMTH, and FOOD, and all three conditions are necessary for it to grow. Mold is most likely to find a place to grow in a bathroom, basement or kitchen, but it can grow in other rooms if conditions are favorable.

Technicians block or pad furniture to ensure it is not damaged by wet flooring after a water loss. This also protects carpet from stain or dye from that may come off of wet furniture after a water loss.

Mold is more likely to spread when an environment has been subject to moisture for a long period of time. If your property has sustained 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 mold, strong musty odors which may indicate mold is present, any evidence of past moisture problems that might have caused undetected mold growth, and excessive humidity.

This is a fire that happened at a local restaurant in Verona, MS due to an A/C unit malfunction during the night. According to FEMA, as would be expected, cooking was by far the leading cause of restaurant fires, accounting for 64 percent of restaurant fires. Heating and electrical malfunction each accounted for an additional 7 percent. All other causes, including unintentional, careless actions (4 percent), appliances (4 percent), other heat (3 percent) and several other categories at less than 3 percent each accounted for the remaining 23 percent of restaurant fires. SERVPRO of Tupelo was able to respond the very next morning and has been on the job ever since. 

Last weekend, a local business caught fire due to an equipment malfunction during the night. Luckily the fire department responded quickly and was able to get the fire out, but there was damage to the entire building. There was heavy soot throughout the business.

TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) – The opening of the new Tupelo Police Department is expected to be delayed further following a fire sprinkler malfunction.

Police confirm to WTVA the malfunction happened this morning to an isolated section of the building on Front Street.

A crew was testing the building’s fire sprinkler system in preparation for the opening. That’s when a leak occurred to an isolated part of the second floor, damaging the walls, carpet and furniture.

The water then leaked down to the first floor causing damage.

Police say the rest of the building is fine.

The clean-up service SERVPRO is at the scene now to assess the damage and clean up.

Officials hope the delay is minor.

This residential water damage is the result of a busted pipe. Two levels were affected and many rooms. We were able to respond to the water damage as soon as the homeowner called us with job.
