Categories of a Typical Water Damage.

4/10/2024 (Permalink)

Water damage can come from many different sources, whether it's from a broken water pipe in the home, or from a storm. Once the damage happens, it is important to understand the type of water damage that has occurred. These types of water are classified into three different categories.

Category 1: Clean water. Clean water does not pose a threat to humans. Examples of these are considered broken water pipes or overflowing sinks. 

Category 2: Contaminated or “gray water”. This category typically includes water from a toilet bowl with no feces, water coming in through hydrostatic pressure, or a sump pump failure.

Category 3: "Black" water. This is grossly contaminated and poses a substantial threat to humans. This category includes sewage, water from rising rivers, any outside water source, or water containing heavy bacteria and fungi.

In conclusion, recognizing the various sources of water damage is vital. Equally in importance is having a plan of who to call when water damage hits your property. Here at SERVPRO®, we have seen it all, and are ready to help in your time of need.

Fire Damage in Long Beach & Oceanside.

4/10/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO® has been servicing the United States for more than 50 years and has more than 2,000 franchises. What started out as originally a painting company has transitioned into the largest and most trusted damage restoration clean-up company across the country. There has been nothing this team of professionals haven't seen. SERVPRO uses specialized equipment to clean up after a fire has occurred. This is how the project team faces a fire restoration job:

First, we tarp off the contaminated area to ensure that nothing spreads to the non-affected areas. Next, we set up temporary electricity (if needed) to power our equipment. Typically after a fire, the area is left with smoke damage, soot, and water damage from fire fighting efforts. The first step of the remediation process is the water removal. The longer it sits the more damage it causes. We use high grade extractors to remove the water then we place high grade drying equipment to dry out the area. After everything is dry, we evaluate what needs to be removed and replaced and what can stay. Then our reconstruction team will come in and renovate the damaged area.

SERVPRO’s ability to handle even the most challenging situations is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence. With SERVPRO, clients can trust that their properties are in capable hands, backed by decades of expertise and a dedication to delivering exceptional results.
