Heavy Rainfall and Water Damage

5/1/2024 (Permalink)

lighting storm lightning storm

While water damage is typically associated with events like flooding or plumbing malfunctions, heavy rain can also cause its own set of issues regarding water damage around the house.  Areas around Fort Worth are subject to potential downpours at any time of the year.

Heavy rain is considered rainfall at rates over 0.3 inches per hour and can work its way into much smaller vulnerabilities in your home. To help you better prepare and avoid water damage, we have put together a list of how these rapid rainfall rates can cause issues.

How Heavy Rains Cause Household Water Damage

Backup of clogged gutters

Clogged gutters can cause significant damage to your home after heavy rains. If there is debris in the gutters, it will be difficult for water to drain away, which can then result in leaks from puddles as the water is left standing against the roofline.

Leaks around windows and doors

Windows and doors are supposed to be sealed against the elements, but as their weatherproofing ages, it can deteriorate as well. When heavy rains roll through, water can find its way into minuscule cracks and cause damages.

Poor drainage around the foundation

If your home is at the bottom of a hill or does not have adequate drainage around the foundation, heavy rains can build up against the base of your home and lead to leaks in your basement or crawl spaces.

Leaks in and around the roof

Roof leaks are one of the leading consequences of heavy rains, and they can sneak up suddenly. All it takes is for a shingle to be scraped away or a weak spot to form and rainwater can begin seeping in as it falls.

Malfunctioning of a sump pump system

For homes with sump pumps, doing regular maintenance and checking for issues is key—otherwise, the pump system can get overwhelmed and will not be able to effectively move water away from the home.

Leaks around chimneys and skylights

Houses with chimneys and skylights tend to be more vulnerable to heavy rains than homes without them. While they are nice features to have, the seals where they meet with the roof can grow vulnerable over time and become overwhelmed when rainfall is heavy.

Remember to stay safe and get excess water cleaned up professionally to minimize the chance of mold growth. Our SERVPRO of North Fort Worth team is Ready to Help at a moment's notice with any of your water mitigation emergencies. Give our team a call at (817) 232-3333.

Waiting for Cleanup Means Taking More Damage | SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth

5/1/2023 (Permalink)

If a fire issue pops up during the holidays, remember the trusted leader in the recovery industry, SERVPRO of North Fort Wort If a fire issue pops up during the holidays, remember the trusted leader in the recovery industry, SERVPRO of North Fort Worth.

We used to do a lot more waiting. We did so much of it at the doctor’s office, for example, that they have a whole room dedicated to it, and named for it. But now we’ve advanced so much and sped up our processes that even a lot of doctor visits can be made without even leaving home—set up a simple video chat, and that’s that.

In some cases, eliminating the wait is simply a matter of convenience; in others, however, it’s a matter of importance.

When you have a damage issue arise at home, waiting will cost you more than time. That’s why your local SERVPRO is available 24 hours a day, with no exceptions, for emergency service. Getting started on your cleanup and recovery right away is part of our plan to serve you better and keep the damage to a minimum.

After a fire. The flames aren’t your only issue; what they leave behind can be equally problematic. Sticky, black soot covers cooler spots in your home after a fire, in areas where combustion wasn’t able to finish its process. Tiny particles settle into carpets, fabrics and walls within minutes, staining and further mucking up your already-damaged home.

In only a few hours, the dismal damage done by soot and the malodorous work of smoke become permanent parts of your home, meaning they can only be managed by complete removal of affected drywall, flooring and more.

After water damage. Once water breaks free of its containment somewhere in your home, a countdown to mold begins, and you’ve only got 48 hours to prevent it. After that, mold sets up camp all over surfaces and organic materials in your dampened areas.

Left to grow, mold becomes a structural and medical hazard that can damage both your home and your health.

In addition to these situations, your home can take on any number of acute challenges with the occurrence of a freak storm or natural disaster, and when that happens, you’re left with no time to wait.

It’s good to know that you can click or call SERVPRO anytime, night or day, and get the best team in the industry working the case. Faster to Any Size Disaster is something we take very seriously around here, because time is more than money—it’s an opportunity to save your home from further damage.

When you need help after a home or business disaster, fast service is a priority, and there’s nobody faster or more prepared than SERVPRO. Call us anytime to take advantage of our 24-hour emergency service.

SERVPRO Urges Fort Worth Property Owners to Focus on Disaster Readiness as Spring Approaches
Property damage remediation specialist says the importance of advance planning grows as severe weather and climate events become more frequent

Fort Worth, TX (Grassroots Newswire) February 9, 2023 - Since Fall 2022, the United States has experienced extreme weather from coast to coast ranging from major rain and flood events to hurricanes and tornadoes to extreme freezing conditions including a “once in a generation blizzard.” As catastrophic weather events impact property owners more frequently, it magnifies the need for disaster readiness ahead of this spring’s storm season.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reports that from 1980-2022, there were, on average, 7.9 “billion-dollar” events each year. In 2021, there were 20 “billion-dollar” weather or climate disaster events, and 2022 delivered another 18 – each year more than doubling the previous multi-year average.1

“These statistics are revealing,” says Casey Weidner of SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth, “but not surprising to businesses like SERVPRO who specialize in disaster response and remediation. SERVPRO franchise owners experience the real-life impact of events like these as home and business owners reach out for help after flooding, fire, wind, and other natural disasters wreak havoc on their properties. That’s why we continue to emphasize the importance of preparing in advance before disaster strikes.”

Because spring weather can be particularly unpredictable, Weidner urges property owners in the Fort Worth area to take advantage of state, federal and other online resources now to prepare for a possible severe weather event. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offers tips here2 for preparing an emergency kit to have on hand. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers an emergency preparedness checklist here3, and more ideas and tools are available from sources like the Red Cross, the AARP, and others.

According to Rick Isaacson, CEO of SERVPRO Industries, LLC, the number of calls for help and web traffic to SERVPRO.com increased more than 300% after the most recent winter storm event in late December 2022 over the same period last year (12/22/22 – 12/28/22).

“Advance preparation might have helped some of these property owners literally weather the storm with less damage,” said Isaacson. “And for those whose homes or businesses were severely damaged or destroyed in spite of efforts to avoid damage, advance preparation would mean that critical papers, contact numbers, insurance information, and recovery plans would be close at hand. Time spent improving your disaster readiness is time well spent.”

SERVPRO specializes in disaster cleaning, restoration, and construction services, helping to remediate damage, making it “Like it never even happened,” for both commercial and residential customers.

SERVPRO Can Effectively Eliminate Unwanted Odors | SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth

2/1/2023 (Permalink)

With thousands of locations located all over the country, SERVPRO provides expert cleaning and restoration solutions for homes and businesses suffering from disasters of all shapes and sizes. Our team specializes in the restoration of all types of damage, including the eradication of foul odors.

Getting back on track after your property has been damaged by a disaster can be a complex and hectic process. One issue that may arise after a catastrophe is the development of a persistent odor that must be properly eliminated.

Whether you’re dealing with water, fire, storm or mold damage, these dangers can all produce a strong smell that will only intensify the longer you wait for repairs. No matter how tidy you keep your home, nasty odors can sneak into areas you’d never imagine.

Luckily for you, our team has an effective solution to an annoying odor that has overstayed its welcome! Here’s how we go about restoring the fragrance and cleanliness of your property.

Odor Removal Techniques

Odors are produced from chemicals, gases or small particles in the air. When their origin is eliminated, our team uses deodorization technology in conjunction with various materials and methods meant to eliminate nasty smells.

Some of these include:

Masking agents. Although this isn’t our main method of elimination, these solutions can mask the smell to create a more pleasant environment while we plan and get ready to employ our other strategies.

Filtration agents. Absorption agents are particularly absorbent substances that may eliminate odors from building supplies and furnishings. When the filtering agent runs through adsorption agents, the stench is trapped.

Disinfectants and sanitizers. These solutions target and eliminate any bacteria and fungi that may produce odor inside the affected areas.

While there are other methods that our specialists can employ to eliminate odors from your property, these three are crucial steps in the process of thoroughly recovering your home.

The Signature 4-Step Process

There are four major steps we take to make your property odor-free:

1. Remove the source. Debris saturated with odor-causing substances will only penetrate deeper until the issue’s main cause has been located and addressed. This is why we try to execute this step before anything else.

2. Clean residue from surfaces. Affected areas need to be cleaned and deodorized after removing the odor source. Small particles and residue will generate more unwanted odors if these areas aren’t sanitized.

3. Recreate the odor-causing conditions. Just as odor-causing particles originally infiltrated the surface, our professionals will similarly use a deodorizer. For example, our crew employs ”deodorizing smoke” for this stage if smoke was the cause of your pesky aroma.

4. Seal exposed surfaces. If the problem is serious, sealants may be required to avoid stop odor-producing substances from sneaking inside. We implement this phase when odor treatment becomes too costly or difficult to accomplish.

A swift response is the solution to removing odors once and for all. If you’re dealing with a lingering odor after a calamity, we will be on the scene rapidly to mitigate losses and keep costs low. When you’re faced with an unexpected disaster, turn to SERVPRO of North Fort Worth to help you get the issue under control.

If you experience an odor or other damage inside your home or business, call us at any time, 247. We have the training and equipment to quickly get your property back in operation.

Guiding Fort Worth Businesses Through Disaster Restoration l SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth

SERVPRO employee wearing black shirt reviewing restoration plans on tablet SERVPRO of North Fort Worth knows the commercial restoration process inside and out. Here are some tips in choosing the right restoration company.

As a Fort Worth community member, we want local businesses to succeed and thrive—even after a disaster.

So our team has pulled together some of the information and advice they need to ensure their companies can be quickly and efficiently restored after a fire, flood or another natural disaster.

Walking Through the Restoration Process

Here are some of our team’s best advice members can offer to help local business owners through the steps to restore their business after a fire, flood or other natural disasters:

Don’t forget to let your disaster plan guide you. It can be hard to focus after your business is damaged. You can use your disaster plan to help you move forward. Review your list and follow the steps you laid out before the disaster.

Take photos and an inventory. Before you start cleaning up, take plenty of pictures of the damage and make a thorough list of any destroyed, damaged or lost items. If you can, add their values, too. Photos and lists are the type of information your insurance company will need.

Look for ways to help your employees. The people who work in your business will be affected by the disaster, too. Look for resources to help through organizations like the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Keep the people who matter to your business in the loop. Don’t neglect reaching out to your suppliers, your employees, your customers and your community..

Be strategic when you’re selecting your partners. Working with a trusted restoration resource in the community can ensure the work is done right—and that your business is back to its original state before you open your doors again.

If your business is damaged due to fire, water or any other cause, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have crews who are available 247 in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help you.
