SERVPRO Can Provide Fast Water Mitigation for Santa Rosa Homes After Pipe Separations

SERVPRO Can Provide Fast Water Mitigation for Santa Rosa Homes After Pipe Separations

Pipe bursts from aging or pressure fluctuations can be highly destructive for homes and businesses. Considering the high volume of water damage that results, our SERVPRO team responds with urgency to these situations to begin mitigation services like water removal and content relocation.

The Damage of a Broken Pipe

The heart of water mitigation for Santa Rosa homes is a thorough inspection of the property to determine its damage and what must be done to return the structure to preloss conditions. Quick action is needed to prevent damage to building materials like wall systems and ceilings following pipe bursts. Beyond structural damage, substantial standing water concerns are also likely to result. 

Controlled Demolition and Cleanup

The earliest action we must take after water damage to structural elements in the house is the removal of these water damaged components. Our general contractor license is essential and allows us to complete controlled demolition where required. Our goal is to remove any harmful or challenging debris from the property that could amplify loss effects or make restoration more challenging to complete moving forward. This process allows efforts like drying and water removal to start. 

Thorough Drying and Water Removal

We can get cleanup and water removal services underway with exposed damaged areas. We have dozens of extraction devices to help in this effort, including wet vacuums and submersible pumps. Drying these cavities involves several of our high-efficiency tools from the inventory as well, including:

• Positive pressure systems
• Low-profile centrifugal air movers
• Portable electric heaters

A pipe burst can be among the most threatening situations for homes and businesses. Because of the high volume of water these situations present, it is essential to mitigate loss however possible.

SERVPRO Can Help You Assess the Damage and Make the Right Decision

SERVPRO Can Help You Assess the Damage and Make the Right Decision

Whenever your commercial office space needs water removal, our SERVPRO technicians are here to help. We are on call 24/7 to respond swiftly to your emergency and help us minimize your damages. Like you, we understand that every minute you remain closed represents issues in revenue.

Why Do I Need to Call a Professional Team to Extract The Water?

Using a wet-dry vacuum and humidifiers will certainly help you evaporate water damage in your Santa Rosa office, but it may not be enough. As professionals in the industry at SERVPRO, we have at our fingertips several tools that help us measure moisture levels and take action to restore them back to normal. Failure to extract all water can leave you with a suitable environment for bacteria, such as mold, to reproduce. Tackling the problem in a timely manner helps prevent future complications.

What Are My Options to Save My Carpet?
The situation and our observations will help determine what happens to your carpet. In some instances, we can dry it in place as long as it has not been wet for more than 72 hours. Some advantages of this technique include the following:

-Less disruption to the flow of your business

-Less damage to the carpet

-Furniture may be able to stay in place

Alternatively, our SERVPRO crew can have a frank conversation and recommend the full removal of the carpet, if the damage is too far gone. When this happens, we work within local guidelines and ordinances to dispose of the carpet as recommended.

When our SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County is at your side, we can discuss the benefits of each of the options available to you. Together, we can leave your office, "Like it never even happened."

Why does Florida have so much precipitation?

8/23/2022 (Permalink)

Thunder heads rolling in on beach.

Why does Florida have so much precipitation?

Torrential rain in Florida primarily results from the passing of low pressure systems through or close to it. The most well known low pressure system is the tropical hurricane, which is capable of producing truly enormous amounts of precipitation over a short period of time.

Which area gets the most precipitation in Florida?

Pensacola

Rainiest Days In The History of Florida These four Florida cities, ranked by average annual precipitation, are Tallahassee, Pensacola, Miami and West Palm Beach. It’s the Gulf of Mexico’s warm waters that create storms that often soak the state, particularly between June and November.

Why do some areas get more precipitation than others?

The tropics receive a great amount of direct solar energy, which produces more evaporation than higher latitudes. The warm, moist air rises, condenses into clouds and thunderstorms, and falls back to earth as precipitation. More evaporation results in more precipitation.

Is Florida the rainiest state?

Hawaii overall is the rainiest state in the US, with a state-wide average of 63.7 inches (1618 millimeters) of rain a year. But few places in Hawaii fit the state’s average….Rainiest States in America.

Rank 1
Year Hawaii
Winter Hawaii
Summer Florida

Why does it rain so much in Florida during the summer?

Most of South Florida has a tropical climate. There is a defined rainy season from May through October, when air mass thundershowers that build in the heat of the day drop heavy but brief summer rainfall. In some years the dry season becomes quite severe and water restrictions are imposed to conserve water.

Why is Florida weather so unpredictable?

Because of its geographic location, Florida’s weather isn’t exactly divided into the traditional Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. Dry season (November-April), on the other hand, brings significantly less humidity, reduced precipitation, and a more predictable forecast that’s less storm-prone.

What Florida city gets the most rain?

America’s top 5 wettest cities

New Orleans, Louisiana: 62.45 inches of precipitation annually on average.

West Palm Beach, Florida: 62.33 inches of precipitation annually on average.

Miami, Florida: 61.90 inches of precipitation annually on average.

Pensacola, Florida: 61.20 inches of precipitation annually on average.

What part of Florida rains the least?

In Orlando, as generally happens in central and southern Florida, winter is the least rainy season, in fact, 55 to 65 mm (2.2 to 2.6 in) of rain fall per month from November to February.

Which region gets the most precipitation?

Matsuyama, located in the Meghalaya State in India, is the wettest place in the world. It receives an annual rainfall of 11,871 millimeters. The mountainous terrain of the surrounding land forces the northward-moving warm moist monsoon winds coming from the Bay of Bengal to converge over Matsuyama.

Why is there more precipitation at the equator?

Areas near the equator receive high rainfall amounts because constant solar heating produces intense heating, large-scale evaporation, moist rising air that cools with altitude and forms convectional rainfall. In addition, air masses converge here which results in heavy rainfall.

What is the rainiest state in the US?

Hawaii

The 10 Wettest States In The United States Of America

Rank State Average yearly rainfall
1 Hawaii 57.2
2 Louisiana 56.9
3 Mississippi 55.5
4 Alabama 55.3

Which states get the least rain?

Nevada takes the lead as the least rainy state in the US, with only 9.5 inches (241 mm) of rain each year. The mountain states, including Wyoming and Montana, dominate the list of America’s driest states year round.

What’s the average precipitation in the state of Florida?

Average Yearly Precipitation for States (rain & snow) 8. Delaware 45 inches (114 centimeters) 9. Florida 54 inches (137 centimeters) 10. Georgia 50 inches (127 centimeters) 11. Hawaii 110 inches (279 centimeters)

Expert Strategies To Prevent Water/Mold

6/28/2022 (Permalink)

Roof Deck After Untreated Water Damage

Prevent Mold and Water from Damaging Your Home With These Expert Strategies

Both water damage (and resulting mold damage) can cost individual homeowners thousands of dollars per occurrence. While accidents certainly can (and do) happen, many instances of water and mold damage are completely preventable. Taking a proactive approach to home care is one of the best ways to ensure that you do not have to shell out hundreds or even thousands of dollars in emergency expenses.

Learn how to effortlessly prevent mold and water damage in your home from the expert team at SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County

Shop for the best home insurance

Having good home insurance is a necessity to protect yourself from the financial damage that can accompany major home repairs. There are many different methods of finding good home insurance in Florida, but the best way to do it is to shop around and compare rates. There are lots of companies that offer home insurance in Florida, so it is important to find one that offers the coverage that you need at a price that you can afford. It’s also wise to talk to your friends and family members who live in Florida to see if they have any recommendations for you.

Perform routine checks of select appliances and fixtures

Contrary to what some believe, mold more frequently develops as a result of a slow, unnoticed leak (rather than from a massive water incident). You could easily go months (or even years) without seeing a small, yet persistent water leak in any area of your home. The more time that goes by, the worse the damage will ultimately be.

Avoid a hefty mold remediation bill by making it a point to routinely check appliances and fixtures that can leak. Regularly examine items such as your water heater (be on the lookout for any corrosion), all sinks and toilets, water supply valves, your dishwasher, and your refrigerator. If you notice a minor leak, contact someone to repair it as soon as possible. 

Don’t forget to maintain your home’s exterior

When thinking about avoiding water and mold damage inside of your home, you may forget to consider preventative methods that should be taken outdoors. Your home’s exterior is extremely important when it comes to being proactive about preventing mold and water damage. The smallest opening can cause moisture to build up rapidly (from both humidity and rain).

First and foremost, have your roof inspected regularly for leaks. If your roof is missing shingles or has any size opening, you are at risk for serious water and mold damage. In the event you do find damage, have your attic inspected for mold. Also, be sure to routinely clean your gutters. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool and spill into unwanted places. Search “residential gutter cleaning near me” to find trustworthy providers in your area. You can read reviews and testimonials before deciding on the best provider for you.

Turn on your bathroom’s fan when taking a bath or shower

Among all of the suggestions provided, one of the easiest is to turn on your bathroom fan when taking a shower or a bath. With the flip of a switch, you can save yourself thousands. While this prevention method is incredibly easy, some individuals are not in the habit of using their fan, since no mirror fogging occurs. Just because your mirrors do not fog up does not mean that you shouldn’t utilize your fan. The heat and moisture rising from any bath or shower can cause mold to grow, especially on hard-to-reach ceilings.

Don’t have a fan in one (or more) of the bathrooms in your home? Over time, the installation of a bathroom fan can actually be less costly than mold remediation.

Prevent toilet overflows

No one likes dealing with an overflowing toilet. But, if your toilet regularly overflows, now is the time to take steps to prevent future problems. Water from an overflow can get underneath your flooring, which can result in expensive damage.

While these tips are certainly effective in preventing mold and water damage, accidents happen. Don’t wait to fix water and mold issues until the problem has gotten out of control. Instead, hire our team of professionals at SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County to handle the job. We make it a priority to take care of the existing damages with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Water Damage Are You Covered

Things You Must Know About Water Damage

Water damages can happen day or night, for a variety of different reasons. Every water damage is different and not ever water damage is remediated the same way. Most important thing we as homeowners need to know is all water damage issues are covered by under your standard homeowner’s insurance policy.

Water remediation can be costly especially if it is not covered by your insurance company. It is imperative that you understand your policies coverages. Here are a few things that homeowners need to know about water damage and your insurance policy:

• Water damage and flood damage are NOT covered by the same insurance policies- Homeowner’s policies only cover water damages NOT damage caused by rising water. If you live in a flood-prone areas and/or a flood zone having flood insurance is imperative. People who do not carry flood coverage are rolling the dice with one of there greatest assets, there home.
• Your policy may not cover all types of water damage – There are many kinds of water damage, and some are not covered by your policy. Check your insurance policy for exclusions so that you know what kinds of water damage is and is not covered. Usually, insurance policies cover water damage brought about by emergencies, such as a burst pipe of an appliance leak. If the damage is caused by overflowing gutters that direct water into your home because you neglected to clean them, the repair cost must come out of your pocket. This would be considered a repair and maintenance issue. Most homeowner’s policy will not pay for repairs on things that should have been maintained. Also worth noting is that there is a statute of limitations in making a water damage claim under terms of your policy.
• Calling your insurance company as soon as water damage happens is a must – To be reimbursed for your water-damage issues, calling your insurance company immediately after your incident occurs is essential. The longer you let a water damage sit and the longer you delay calling your insurance company, the greater the chance that you will not get as much financial help as you need. Most policies read that you as the homeowner are responsible to prevent secondary damages to your home in the event of a loss.

Signs of Water Intrusion

Standing water on wooden flooring.

Do you know the signs to look for when checking to see if your home has sustained a water loss? The most common signs of a water intrusion are discoloration on areas of drywall, warped flooring, peeling, or bubbling of paint, base molding separating from drywall, and the most obvious standing water. One of the more difficult signs to spot, is a strange or musty odor that you have not previously experienced in your home. These can all be indicators that you have experienced a water damage.

When discovering a new water loss in your home, time is of the essence. Microbial growth can begin in as little as 48-72 hours. Even small water damages have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time. Early detection and immediate restorative response to water intrusion can help avoid costly secondary damages in your home.

It is always better in any situation to be proactive instead of reactive. Below are a few suggestions to help you be prepared for when disaster strikes:

• Always know where the main water shut off valve to your home is located. 

• Know who you home is insured with. Have easy access to the claims departments phone number. This will make for quicker claims submittal as most restoration companies ask for your insurance companies name, their phone number, your claim number, and your deductible amount.

• Have easy access to the name and phone number of a local plumber that has 24-hour emergency service hours.

• Have the name and phone number of a reputable water restoration company in your area that has 24-hour emergency service hours. 

The above suggestions should assist you in getting your home back to preloss condition as quickly as possible. Remember time is of the essence in any water damage situation.

Be Prepared

2/9/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage can wreak havoc on one’s home, causing long-term mold, a rotting landscape, drainage issues, and an overall weakening of your property. Water issues always need prompt attention.

While there is no way to predict an emergency, you can always be prepared if one arises. In case of a house flood, you need to know where your water shutoff valves are located. You can usually find the main water shutoff valve near the perimeter of your home, on the ground floor. Appliances sometimes have their own shutoff valves including toilets, sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines. If you believe an appliance is the source of your water intrusion, simply shut off the water supply off to that individual appliance, rather than shutting off the to your entire home. Lastly, scheduling routine maintenance for your pipes and plumbing can help prevent future water damages.   

If a water loss does occur in your home, contact your insurance company as soon as possible. They will guide you through your water damage insurance claim. They are the professionals and have dealt with whatever you are dealing with several times over. They can help you find the right path to take in restoring your property and home. 

It is of the utmost importance that you start drying wet areas as quickly as possible. This will aid in preventing mold growth and further damage to your property. Drying your environment should be your number one priority. Turn your air conditioner on and set it around seventy-two, this can aid in the drying process.

In an emergency, it is difficult to not panic. Being prepared will assist you in preventing secondary damages to your home and getting your water damage taken care of quickly and stress free as possible.

At SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County, our professional team can take care of any water damage, from extraction to clean up and damage repair. We provide 24/7 emergency services. Contact us, at (850) 939-4700, any time, any day, for your water restoration needs.
