I FEEL LIKE GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE

9/1/2023 (Permalink)

The chill air loop ruptured in a retirement facility, flooding hallways and residences with at least 3 inches of water.

Spending too much time at home often leads people to say "I feel like getting out today".  That feeling is the complete opposite of "I must get out today".  Too often, people are forced from their residence due to flooding.  In situations where many cohabitate under one roof, a flood can displace many, and cause several homes to be uninhabitable.  The professional and well trained technicians at SERVPRO of Brandon are always ready for any event, providing the fastest water mitigation in even the largest of events.  

Choosing a trained, reputable, and thorough restoration company can make all the difference in getting back to your residence quickly.  SERVPRO of Brandon has trained professionals available 24/7 that can get you home safe and sound.  Call today at 601-829-2162.

An Oldie But A Goodie

8/2/2022 (Permalink)

It is surprising how much water can come from a clogged drain line in an air conditioning unit.

It makes perfect sense to see water everywhere if a hot water heater bursts. If flood waters rush in after a torrential downpour, it is what it is. Not all flooded spaces make as much sense, especially one of the most common causes of water damage to homes, the air conditioning unit. An AC in a third floor apartment unit couldcause water to be a problem even ina first floor unit. Many don't understand so much water from an air conditioner.

Air conditioners produce water as part of the cooling process. Some of the water is used to cool the air, while some is run through a drain line. Some water in air conditioners also comes from the unit pulling humidity out of the air.

SERVPRO of Brandon is available 24/7 for any and all water emergencies. Call 601-829-2162, and our trained technicians will respond quickly to any loss, large or small.

What's Your Favorite Spot In Your Home?

6/7/2022 (Permalink)

A saturated ceiling makes getting a good night's rest in this bed impossible.

Storms sometimes damage the roof on a home. Hot water heaters located in an attic sometimes burst. AC units can leak anywhere, any time. The bottom line is, ceilings in homes can get saturated, and come crashing down. A lot of time this happens without warning. No one wants it to happen, and some areas can be a bigger headache than others. Wouldn't it be nice to command a ceiling that if it must fall, please choose the sparsely decorated breakfast area with tile floors? Unfortunately the elements aren't that kind. More times than not, besides the damage to the home, important belongings get damaged. The most intimate of places, like bedrooms, suddenly become populated with strangers trying to help resolve the mess.

That's why SERVPRO of Brandon is the best choice when water invades a home. Trained professionals, who care about the homes and possessions at each and every job, respond quickly. Whether it's monetary or sentimental, the things the customer values matter.

Sewer Line Mayhem

6/6/2022 (Permalink)

A sewer backup takes over the area where clean is supposed to be! SERVPRO of Brandon made it "Like it never even happened."

No one is ever prepared for water entering the home when it isn't supposed to be there. Whether it's caused by nature with storms and/or floods, or malfunction of human invention, it is certainly never welcome. From small inconvenience to major loss, water not where we want it is a curse. One of the worst experiences in a home is a sewer backup. It happens more often than most people think. A sewer backup occurs when the wastewater that's supposed to go away from the home, comes back in. Often it's caused by a blockage or damage in the main sewer line connecting a home to the sewer system.

SERVPRO of Brandon understands that a sewer backup is a devastating thing to have to go through. Their trained professionals know exactly what to do to make it "Like it never even happened." Call today at 601-829-2162 !

Water, Water Everywhere

2/11/2022 (Permalink)

Three rooms had water where it shouldn't be when this water line suffered moving damage.

There are more people working remotely than ever before. Still, many have chosen to stick with the old 9 to 5, and for them there is no place like home. Being gone all day does mean that mishaps happen without anyone knowing, and that could be miserable to come home to. A normal eight hour day leaves a lot of time for water to flow, should a problem arise without anyone home. Water everywhere upon arrival is a shocking situation, and the immediate response is to find out where it's coming from.

There are many culprits to choose from, it could be the toilets, the faucets, the dishwasher, the washing machine, or the air conditioning. It could also be the refrigerator, and that might be the last place someone would think to look.

If the refrigerator turns out to be the source, it could be a blocked defrost drain, or a clogged, broken, or frozen water supply line. Keeping the refrigerator clean is important, as dust and debris often cause blockages. When moving the refrigerator pay attention to the water supply line.

Call SERVPRO of Brandon at 601-829-2162 if there is water where it shouldn't be!!

The Mighty Toilet

1/31/2022 (Permalink)

A massive toilet leak can a business to have to shut down. SERVPRO of Brandon got things back on track!

Most of us don’t even think about the toilets in our homes and businesses until it’s time to clean it, or worse, there’s a problem. Toilets definitely don’t get the appreciation they deserve, considering the previous alternatives. Before toilets, communal outhouses, chamber pots, holes in the ground, and many other disgusting ideas (let’s not mention castle “garderobes”), were all humans had to turn to. In 1596, Sir John Harington, a godson of Queen Elizabeth I and an English courtier, wrote of a “2-foot oval bowl fed by water from an upstairs cistern”. Alexander Cumming applied for the first flush toilet patent in 1775, and invented the S-shaped pipe underneath the toilet to keep out odors and gases from the sewer. A year later Thomas Crapper built onto that idea, and invented the ballcock( toilet fill valve) to add to his line.

Where would we be without the toilet?? However, what a mess when they malfunction!! Our trained professionals at SERVPRO of Brandon can handle whatever goes wrong in the bathroom, from sewer backup to water leaks. Call us today at 601-829-2162!

Be A Water Detective

Locating and learning about the water meter is one way to potentially locate or stop a problem

Indoor plumbing requires so many connections, hoses,pipes, fixtures, etc. There is no way to protect a home or business completely from accidents, and that’s why SERVPRO of Brandon is here! Our trained team is more than qualified to get homes and businesses fully restored, as quickly as possible.

However, home and business owners can take steps that could aid in preventing some events. First and foremost, learning to read the water meter is an important step because it can warn of silent water leaks. It can be as simple as turning off all the water (don’t forget things that fill such as toilets, hot water heaters, and ice makers), and jot down all of the numbers on the meter. Learn the average, normal usage. Next, locate the flow indicator gauge, it is the black or red dial. If that dial is moving while all the water off, then water is leaking somewhere.

The unexpected could still happen, always, but SERVPRO of Brandon is ready for all restoration needs. 601-829-2162

Is Your Roof Letting You Down?

8/13/2021 (Permalink)

The buckling on this roof is very noticeable!

The two most common causes of buckling in a roof are poor attic ventilation and moisture in your roof decking or underlayment. The roof deck is the structural components onto which everything else is placed beyond the trusses and joints. The underlayment is what lies between the shingles and the roof deck. A buckled roof doesn’t necessarily mean water can leak into living spaces, but it’s definitely something that needs immediate attention. Any time a gap is present between shingles a leak can occur, especially over time. There can be a lot of water, or a little water, but it’s always safer to assume water is there. Once the repairs are made, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Brandon at 601-829-2162 to assess and take care of any moisture or water damage that may have occurred. Unattended moisture can lead to mold and rot wood, and we are here to help!

Where is your hot water heater?

6/8/2021 (Permalink)

Hot water heaters in an attic can flood an entire home quickly, causing major water damage.

What could possibly be worse than a leaky hot water heater? The answer is a leaky hot water heater in an attic…of a two story home…in a vacant house! Houses go on the real estate market every day, most estimate over a million vacant homes in the U.S. alone. In a busy world such as ours, these vacant homes can go days, weeks, months without a showing or checkup. That means a lot left unattended. It is important to always check vacant properties, especially during weather events. Hot water heaters or any plumbing could spring a leak flooding floor after floor. The longer it runs, the more damage that water can do.

Tornado season!!

Luckily homeowners weren’t home when a tornado put a tree into their home, exposing it to all the elements.

Ice Storms Leave Water Woes!

2/22/2021 (Permalink)

A church finds water damage on Sunday morning after freezing temperatures and record-breaking winter storms left the region.

Roof damage from storms-particularly ice and hail- sometimes aren’t easy to see. Ninety-five percent of storm damage cannot be seen from ground level. Hail dents soft materials on your roof before it damages shingles, materials such as vents, exhaust caps, and the flashing, rain gutters, spouts, and cooling fins of exterior A/C condensing units. Ice can also chip and break glass on windows. Torn or split seams and damaged shingles of  course can lead to serious water damage.  

Following proper procedure from authorities is so important in protecting your home and business from winter storms. In the event that something does happen call us at SERVPRO of Brandon, 601-829-2162, we are here to help in our community 24/7.

Hidden Water Leaks in Your Home

1/26/2021 (Permalink)

A sign that water in this home is not where it's supposed to be.

Do you have a water leak in your home? Large water leaks are obvious, the common ones like the burst pipes or the hot water heater malfunctioning are easy to spot. They send large amounts of water where it’s not supposed to be, and its immediately noticeable. Small water leaks however, can be hidden and pesky......doing damage without anyone knowing. 

Some warning signs to look for are higher bills, strange sounds or water spots, yard moisture, and musty smells. When unattended, a small constant leak could lead to mold, structural damage, and electrical risks. Clogged drains, broken water connectors, weak pipe joints, high water pressure are just a few causes to watch out for.

If you have a small leak that led to a big problem, call SERVPRO of Brandon at 601-829-2162.  We are here for you 24/7 to restore your home “Like it never even happened.”

Water damage basics

Unwanted water can rot wood, soften drywall, and cause mold in your home.

Water leaks in your home are never a good thing.  If you do have an experience where water is not where it’s supposed to be, you obviously need to the cause of the unwanted water.  Once the problem is corrected, it is imperative that you remove any remaining water.  Damage caused by remaining water could be far more costly that the original cause itself.  Why?—because residual water will continue to damage key structures in your home—wood, sheetrock, etc.  Prolonged water exposure can rot wood, soften drywall, and cause mold —NOT what you want to face down the road.  So, as soon as possible after fixing a water release in your home, call SERVPRO of Brandon to come search out and remove that unwanted water—for both your pocketbook and your safety!

Prevention of Water Damage from Washing Machine Hoses

1/14/2019 (Permalink)

standing water from washing machine hose leak.

Washing machine water leaks are one of the top 10 sources of water damage to homes and can cause a catastrophic water loss.

Below are a few tips to help avoid common issues caused by a washing machine leaking inside the home. The failure of a water supply hose is the primary cause of loss.

• Supply hoses should be replaced every five years, even if there is no obvious deterioration or wear. Some signs of deterioration may occur from the inside out and may not be visible until it is too late.
• Replace the supply hose with a reinforced steel braided hose if it shows any sign of wear.
• Look for signs the supply hose may be ready to fail. These include worn tubing, blisters in the hose, stress cracks or a loose connection.
• Tighten the connection if it feels loose. The most common site of failure is near the connection where the hose bends.

Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves when the machine is not in use. Always turn off the valves if you will be away for several days.

Cabinet Drying

6/14/2017 (Permalink)

Cabinets wet due to the hot water heater leaking. Drying cabinets with injectidry system expedites the drying time.

Drying Cabinets

• burst pipe
• heavy rains
• leaks
• flooding

These can cause water to seep into the cabinets in your home. Left un-remedied, this can lead to serious damage

1. Water can cause wood to warp and twist.
2. It can lead to particle board inside cabinets swelling and becoming distended.
3. Over a period of days, standing water can lead to dangerous growths of mold and bacteria.

If you have water in your cabinets, you need to seek our trained technicians. Our thorough, step by step process removes all moisture from your cabinets to protect them from water damage. 

We use sensitive equipment to help us locate where water has invaded your cabinets. Finding the incursion is the first step necessary in getting the water out and your house back to being good as new.

We remove moldings and baseboards to expose the area below and allow us to remove moisture that can damage your home. We drill in inconspicuous areas at floor level and inside cabinets so that the drill holes can be easily concealed after drying is completed.

Our top of the line equipment increases airflow behind and beneath cabinets and large appliances. This helps speed up evaporation, removing water quickly before it can cause serious, long-term damage.

The process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.When you experience water damage, we should be the first people you call. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. SERVPRO of Brandon is here here to help.
