Fire Prevention

11/4/2024 (Permalink)

As we welcome the beautiful fall season, filled with vibrant leaves and cozy gatherings, it’s essential to keep fire safety at the forefront of our minds. SERVPRO® wants you to enjoy all of the seasonal fun while taking the necessary precautions to protect your home and loved ones.
If you’re planning to burn leaves or have a bonfire, please remember to CHECK THE WIND ADVISORIES IN YOUR AREA FIRST! Windy conditions can quickly escalate a small fire into a dangerous situation. Always ensure you have a clear area free of flammable materials and keep a water source nearby just in case.
Here are a few more fire prevention tips to keep in mind this fall:
1. Inspect Your Fire Pit: Make sure your fire pit is in good condition and located away from structures, trees, and other flammable materials.
2. Use Safe Burning Practices: Only burn dry leaves and avoid burning on windy days. Consider composting leaves as a safer alternative!
3. Check Your Smoke Alarms: With the change of seasons, it’s a great time to test your smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed.
4. Keep an Eye on Candles: If you’re lighting candles for ambiance, never leave them unattended and keep them away from decorations.
At SERVPRO® of Bullitt & N. Nelson Co., we’re here to help you enjoy the fall festivities safely. If you ever face fire damage or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Your safety is our priority!

Waterloss Specialty Equipment

Indirect Heater with 7 vents to run heat into water damaged building

Some waterlosses require specialty equipment in order to achieve optimal drying. SERVPRO of Bullitt & N. Nelson Counties recently had to help a client with a very large waterloss that occurred in a historical building. Due to the location and size of the building we had to deploy the use of our indirect heater. These type of heaters, which are usually set up outdoors, draw in fresh, outside air through intake vents. The fresh air then passes over the burn chamber where it’s heated & forced by blower fans to blow into a building through ducting. The heater’s unwanted fumes are expelled through a “chimney.” This process is known to reduce safety concerns related to carbon monoxide poisoning, which makes this an ideal piece of equipment to use in such a large space.Water damage is a challenge many face. If you've encountered this issue, you're not alone. Our experts are ready to assess and tackle the damage. Let's restore your space and peace of mind.

We have accompanied our fire fighters during their monthly training exercises and spent time talking with them to learn how we can help our customers through dealing with a fire loss.

We have specific products that will remove all the soot from your walls and the smoke smell from the atmosphere of your home.

Tarp over a home damaged by a tree fall

In March of 2023 our area sustained a severe wind storm that caused massive damage to homes & businesses. Fortunately, SERVPRO® of Bullitt & N. Nelson Counties is skilled in storm clean-up and repairs. 

When our clients call us after sustaining storm damage the first thing we do is secure their home. We make sure that the damaged areas are covered by boards or tarps to ensure no further damage is incurred. The next step is guiding the home owners in the insurance claim process.

Once we have the insurance company's approval to do repairs, we will get scheduled with the homeowner to get the work started. As the homeowner you will have to pick out paint colors, flooring types & design, and anything else that will go into doing the repairs.

About Commercial Water Damage

Wide spread water loss in a commercial building

Commercial water damage is often far more extensive than in homes. If you consider the size and complexity of the mechanical systems used in these structures it's no surprise that water damage is a serious concern for business owners.

The two most common causes of commercial water losses are roof damage and plumbing issues, such as a burst pipe or faulty sprinkler system.

Roof damage that causes water leaks can be detrimental to a business as it can take a significant amount of time to discover there is even an issue. In many instances by the time the issues is found there is already mold growth or even damage to expensive equipment. 

If you believe your facility may be experiencing a water leak you can look for these telltale signs: water stains near piped areas, musty smells developing, or standing water that collects and drips pools of water on the floor. 

Once a water leak has been confirmed and stopped your next move should be to contact an experienced and qualified water restoration professional such as SERVPRO® of Bullitt & North Nelson Counties. Our water restoration specialists will be there in a hurry to help you get the clean-up going and walk you through the entire restoration process from start to finish.

Any type of water loss can negatively affect your home or business, however if a business sustains a major water loss it can impact their ability to run their business, help their clients, and can have a direct financial impact. 

When the Christmas Freeze of 2022 occurred, one of our local businesses sustained severe damage from pipes that had frozen and burst. SERVPRO of Bullitt & N. Nelson Counties was quick to arrive and begin the mitigation process to dry out the building and remove all the damaged materials & contents. 

Our dedicated and highly trained team worked around the clock to ensure that all of the pipes were fixed, the water damaged materials & contents were documented and then removed and discarded. Our team then set up the proper drying equipment, such as dehumidifiers & air movers. 

Once we were sure that the drying process was fully completed; we began the restoration process of replacing all of the damaged insulation, drywall, flooring, etc. After the restoration process was complete, it was like a brand new building. "Like it never even happened."
