Disasters Don’t Sleep, but Neither Do We

1/19/2022 (Permalink)

Water disasters, weather events and fires don’t really care what time it is. When you’re fast asleep with strict instructions not to be awakened, they don’t mind a bit barging in and causing chaos. Middle of the night? Fine. Holiday weekend? Feliz Desastre and Sorpresa de Ano Nuevo.

You get the point. Disasters don’t have set hours, and they don’t wait for convenient times before striking your home or business.

Fortunately for you, on the other side of this screen there’s an expert waiting to talk to you when something hits. And all it takes is one press of the big red button for a host of SERVPRO agents to activate and converge upon your emergency.

And when it comes to disaster mitigation, speed definitely matters. Here’s why.

After a fire. The flames get all the press, and they’re definitely a major source of destruction. But the lesser-touted foes of fire damage set in afterward: Soot, the leftover black stuff after a fire, is the result of incomplete combustion during the fire, and if fills every available crevice and covers surfaces completely. And within only a few short hours, soot and smoke damage become permanent, meaning your recovery job goes from a cleanup to a replacement of the affected areas.

After water damage. When water comes rushing into your home or business, you’ve got a very limited time—48 hours, in fact—before mold growth begins, after which your home may become compromised. The quicker your building can be cleared and dried, the better.

On top of these examples, weather events and massive storms can create headaches without warning and leave you with situations that need immediate resolution.

Everything from a hole in the roof to a flood caused by a relentless storm can make life difficult on a moment’s notice. When these surprises arise, don’t panic, and certainly don’t wait. We’re up, and we’re waiting on you to click or call.

Trust SERVPRO when moments matter most.
