Flood Waters Rise

11/26/2022 (Permalink)

In any Hurricane situation, one of the greatest dangers that face residents is not only wind and rain.  Many times rising floodwaters cause the much of the damage and heartache.  Although rainfall plays a role in this, so does the storms surge that pushes water not only onshore but up rivers and tributaries, causing floodwater to reach miles inland.  These waters not only damage structures as rushing water causes foundations to erode and break loose from the ground to which they are anchored,  but also carry with them deadly bacteria and disease.  In many cases what is left behind after the water subsides, can cause great problems of its own.  The trained professionals at SERVPRO have been specially trained for these scenario's.  Let us be there for you in your time of need.

Ice Storm Damage in South Louisville

11/26/2022 (Permalink)

Earlier this week Louisville got its first frost and snow of the year. With the pretty snow comes a lot of unexpected problems. SERVPRO of South Louisville received several calls about branches falling through roofs due to the weight of the ice that fell overnight. SERVPRO went out to the homes and put tarps on the effected rooftops to prevent anymore interior damage from being done.  We also set up air movers to dry out any areas with water damage such as hardwood flooring to prevent it from buckling, and then started the steps necessary to repair the roofs. The best way to prevent this from happening is to make sure all of the trees around your home are well maintained and trimmed so that there are no branches hanging over your home. 

Water Damage due to sump pump failure

10/4/2022 (Permalink)

Today SERVPRO of South Louisville received a called about a sump pump failure in a customers home. Sump pumps don't last forever, aside from electrical interruptions the sump pump has a life expectancy of only 10 years.

We arrived on site and most of the water had already dried up but the customer was very aware of the risk of mold after standing water has been in your home even if it was a short period of time. After the water was extracted SERVPRO placed several dehumidifiers and air movers in the basement to pull all of the moisture out of the air to prevent any possibility of mold becoming a problem for the customer. Sump pump failures are more common than people think, SERVPRO suggests people perform regular maintenance by regularly pouring a bucket of water in it to make sure it start immediately, making sure the vent hole is clear with no blockages, and making sure all pipes are tightly connected. Another option to make sure the battery isn't a concern is "deep cycle batteries" they are made to use a steady amount of energy over a long period of time so they are less likely to fail as quickly.

Has Lightening Struck Your Property?

6/20/2022 (Permalink)

 

Lightning is one of the most dangerous parts of a storm, and it is not something we usually think much about. There are so many things that could happen when lightning strikes, and when it strikes your property you could be looking at damage not only to the structure but to the contents of it as well.

The following are things you need to prepare for in the case of a horrible storm:

  • Fire danger
    • Wood and other flammable building materials can easily be ignited anywhere an exposed lightning channel comes in contact with them. It is most common in the attic or on the roof of a house and is easily conducted by wiring or pipes. When the current passes through wires, it will commonly burn them up. This presents a fire ignition hazard in and around the wiring.
  • Power surge damage
    • If any of the home's electrical wiring is struck, the explosive surge can damage even non-electronic appliances that are connected. Even the home's electrical system could experience a surge that could cause potentially significant damage to anything connected to it.

The important thing to remember is that if you find yourself dealing with lightning damage, you can count on SERVPRO of South Louisville for the cleaning and restoration of your property. We’ll use our years of experience to make it, “Like it never even happened.”
