When you start to see water seeping in through your basement flooring or walls, its always best to call someone to correct the problem before it becomes a major issue. 

The water that comes in from outside is generally not covered by your insurance company. 

We here at SERVPRO of South Springfield/Agawam have seen many electrical fires caused by bad surge protectors. Be sure not to overload any circuit and check surge protectors for possible damage. If you notice any damage do not use, replace immediately. 

Kitchen fires are more common than you think. Practice kitchen safety and keep any and all flammables away from the stove. 

Having a fire extinguisher in your kitchen can also be a life saver. 

Did you know if you inspect your commercial buildings regularly you may prevent certain disasters from happening? 

Be sure to check the basics such as the structure, roof, sewage drains, plumbing and electrical. Being pro-active to possible issues may save you money later. 

Many large commercial buildings have a membrane roof which are extremely delicate. During heavy snow storms the snow should be removed from these roofs to ensure that no damage is done to them resulting in leaks. 

This is an example of a flood cut. 

Flood cuts are necessary in order to properly dry out the space to prevent the growth of mold. 

SERVPRO of South Springfield/Agawam understands the importance of keeping your family safe from these possible hidden dangers. 

When a water issue has not been taken care of properly it can lead to mold issues. This local resident was shocked to see the mold behind their paneling wall. 

Have you checked with your insurance carrier to be sure you have adequate coverage if a disaster hits?

Checking to be sure your policy is up to date and accurate could save you from out of pocket costs. 

Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home? Is it the right one? Did you know there are 5 types of fire extinguishers? 

Type A is for cloth, wood, rubber, paper and plastics. 

Type B is for gasoline, grease and oil. 

Type C is for electrical fires. 

Type D is for combustible materials. 

Type K is for kitchen fires. 

SERVPRO of South Springfield/Agawam encourages you to talk to your local fire dept. to decide which fire extinguisher you should have in your home. 

Here in New England we sometimes get some very powerful rainstorms. Unfortunately that sometimes leads to roof leaks. If these roof leaks are not caught quick enough they could lead to mold. The mold would then need to be remediated, hopefully before it affects your family's health. 

Large commercial buildings sometimes require a fire panel, check with your local fire department to see if your building should have one installed. 

These fire panels allow the fire department to locate the fire quickly and as a result, hopefully put the fire out faster. 

Did you know that our cleaning Supplies are all pet friendly? Furthermore they will not harm you or your family either. We offer a wide variety of scents as well. 

SERVPRO cares about you and your family. 

Fire sprinklers in commercial buildings are essential in trying to protect your commercial building from the flames of a fire.
