Mitigation vs. Restoration

11/26/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph counties is here when you need us! Call us 24/7 at 269-273-8777.

There’s no worse feeling than coming home from a long day of work and walking into six inches of standing water in your living room. At SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph counties, we understand that stress. It’s our job to respond and take care of that stress by showing up quickly and completely removing that water from your home, before it creates more damage. We are a mitigation company and we are also a restoration company. So, what’s the difference?

MITIGATION

Mitigation is the act of minimizing the severity of a situation. When we help our customers via swift mitigation, they avoid water absorbing into the structure of the home potentially warping the floors and causing other damage. The primary purpose of mitigation is to ensure the disaster does not lead to further issues. Mitigation efforts will always come before restoration needs.

RESTORATION

Restoration is the act of returning something to its former condition. If after mitigating there is still damage to the property, this is when restoration begins. Restoration focuses on repairing and restoring any damage that may have been caused to the property. Restoration is significantly less expensive than replacement, which is why it is the preferred method by the majority of insurance companies

If you encounter water damage at your home or business, rest assured that SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph counties will make it “Like it never even happened.” Call us at (269) 273-8777.

Keeping Your Constantine, MI Home Dry – Sump Pump Tips

10/24/2021 (Permalink)

If your sump pump stops working, call SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph Counties. We'll make it "Like it never even happened."

Michigan basements are often prone to flooding and water damage if they have unknown issues or cracks in the foundation. If you have a damp basement or live in an area prone to flooding, you know how difficult the process of dealing with water damage can be. At SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph Counties, we’re here to make your water damage “Like it never even happened.” According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, it is estimated that more than 60% of homes have issues with water in the basement. A sump pump can be an effective option for helping to prevent water damage.

Installed in a pit in the basement, these units’ sense when the water from rain or snow melt is rising in the pit and approaching the floor level. The incoming water is then pumped outside before it can damage the home or its furnishings.  Sump pumps are relatively low-maintenance devices, but you can help keep your unit operational by inspecting it regularly. Steps in a regular maintenance program can include:

• Check the discharge line to make sure it is not stopped up or frozen. If necessary, unclog the air vent hole in the line.
• Check the inlet screen to ensure that it’s not clogged with any residue or debris.
• Making sure the float component is unobstructed and can move smoothly.
• Scan the pit and remove any visible debris, mud, or stones.
• Test the pump by slowly pouring a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise with the water level, triggering the unit to start pumping. If pumping doesn’t begin, check to see that the unit is plugged in. Your float switch or check valve may also be at fault.
• Go outside to see that water is discharging and flowing where it’s supposed to go – well away from your home.

Detecting Mold in your Edwardsburg, MI Home

10/18/2021 (Permalink)

Any signs of mold? Call SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph Counties at 269-273-8777.

Mold- like any other hazardous material can potentially be dangerous if not handled properly. A minor mold problem can quickly become a major infestation if left untreated. Being aware of these signs of mold growth can significantly lessen the damage of the mold and reduce remediation cost:

• Smell - Outdoor mold can smell stale, but indoor mold often smells musty and damp.
• Past Flooding - Flooding that left materials, such as drywall, wet for more than 24 hours can cause mold growth.
• Humidity - High humidity can lead to condensation and water accumulation.  Humidity levels above 45% can cause mold growth.
• Water leaks - If a leak is undetected for a long time, it is very likely to cause mold growth.
• Blocked gutters - Blocked gutters can be a sign of indoor moisture problems, because the water can seep into the walls or the foundation.
• Poor ventilation - Ventilation helps to dry out moisture. A lack of ventilation allows moisture to remain much longer.
• Dust - A dirty or dusty home is more likely to have mold. Mold grows on dust. Dust can also transport mold spores around the home.

Have you seen signs of mold?  Call SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph Counties at (269) 273-8777 and we'll make it "Like it never even happened."

Covid-19 has changed work practices across the United States. As essential businesses remain open, employers are faced with the important task of keeping everyone safe. Taking the proper precautions begins with knowing how the virus spreads.

People could catch COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces or objects, and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. Practicing good hygiene may reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Encourage your employees by asking them to:

• Avoid touching their faces and cover their coughs and sneezes

Insulated your water heater can help in the cold winter months but water damage can strike at any time.

Leaks within a home or business can cause extensive damage if unnoticed for a long period of time.  Leaking water can seep into flooring, carpets, baseboard and walls while moving throughout the structure of the home.  Such a leak not only damages your property, it can also interrupt your day-to-day schedule. 

Since one out of every ten water incidents in a home is caused by a water heater, below are some tips and tricks to help provide some peace of mind:

• Before doing any maintenance on your water heater, shut off the power at the service panel
• Once every three months, drain one gallon of water from the tank. If you have hard water, do this every month to reduce sediment collecting in the bottom of the tank.
• Once every two years, have your water heater inspected by a service technician.
• Once every five years, have a service technician replace the anode rod.

If you didn’t get to these tips fast enough and have suffered from water damage, call SERVPRO of Cass & St. Joseph Counties at 269-273-8777.  We make water damage “Like it never even happened.”

This sump pump backed up causing major water damage to this Edwardsburg, MI home

If you have a damp basement or live in an area prone to flooding, you know that dealing with water damage can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. If your home has a wet basement, you’re not alone. The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates that more than 60 percent of homes have issues with water in the basement.  A sump pump can be an effective option for preventing water damage.

 Installed in a pit in the basement, these units sense when the water from rain or snow melt is rising in the pit and approaching the floor level. The incoming water is then pumped outside before it can damage the home or its furnishings.  Sump pumps are relatively low-maintenance devices, but you can help keep your unit operational by inspecting it regularly. Steps in a regular maintenance program can include:

• Check the discharge line to make sure it is not stopped up or frozen. If necessary, unclog the air vent hole in the line.
• Check the inlet screen to ensure that it’s not clogged with any residue or debris.
• Making sure the float component is unobstructed and can move smoothly.
• Scan the pit and remove any visible debris, mud, or stones.
• Test the pump by slowly pouring a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise with the water level, triggering the unit to start pumping. If pumping doesn’t begin, check to see that the unit is plugged in. Your float switch or check valve may also be at fault.
• Go outside to see that water is discharging and flowing where it’s supposed to go – well away from your home.
