3 Top Causes of Fall Water in Natick Milford, MA Damage

8/7/2023 (Permalink)

Regular inspections, proper maintenance, and timely repairs are key to safeguarding our homes and ensuring a worry-free autumn experience.

The fall season poses unique challenges for homeowners, with rainfall, fallen leaves, and temperature fluctuations leading to various sources of water damage. Here are the three top causes of fall water damage and how to prevent them to safeguard our homes during this season.

The abundance of falling leaves, twigs, and debris during autumn can easily accumulate in gutters and downspouts, obstructing the proper flow of rainwater. When gutters are clogged, rainwater cannot be efficiently directed away from the roof and foundation of the house, causing potential leaks and water seepage.

Prevention Tips:

• Regularly clean gutters and downspouts, especially during the fall season.
• Trim trees near your house to minimize the number of leaves falling onto the roof and gutters.
• Check for any signs of damage to the gutters and downspouts, and promptly repair or replace any compromised sections.
• As temperatures fluctuate during fall, any cracks or gaps in the exterior of your home can become potential entry points for water.
• Inspect the exterior of your home thoroughly, paying close attention to vulnerable areas like the roof, siding, and foundation. 
• Ensure that the seals around windows and doors are intact. 
• Maintain proper ventilation in attics and crawl spaces to regulate temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of moisture-related damage.

Clogged gutters and downspouts, water seepage through cracks and gaps, and a leaking roof are three common culprits that can wreak havoc during this season. Regular inspections, proper maintenance, and timely repairs are key to safeguarding our homes and ensuring a worry-free autumn experience.

What Should You Do If  A Grill Is On Fire?

5/16/2023 (Permalink)

Remember to always be mindful of grill safety and take the necessary precautions to prevent accidents from happening.

It’s important to keep safety in mind when using a grill. One of the most common safety hazards when grilling is a fire breaking out. If a grill fire does occur, it’s important to know what to do to stay safe. Here are the steps to take if a grill is on fire:

• Turn off the burners: If the fire is contained in one area of the grill, turn off the burners in that area. This will help prevent the fire from spreading.
• Close the lid: If the fire is larger and cannot be contained to one area, close the lid of the grill. This will help cut off the oxygen supply to the fire and reduce the flames.
• Disconnect the fuel source: If you are using a propane grill, turn off the propane tank and disconnect it from the grill. If you are using a charcoal grill, remove the charcoal from the grill.
• Use a fire extinguisher: If the fire is still burning, use a fire extinguisher to put it out. Make sure you use the correct type of fire extinguisher for the type of fire you are dealing with. For grill fires, use a Class B fire extinguisher, which is designed for flammable liquids and gases.
• Call for help: If the fire is too large to be put out with a fire extinguisher, call the fire department immediately.
• Do not use water: Never use water to put out a grease fire on a grill. This can cause the fire to spread and create a dangerous situation.
• Wait before cleaning: After the fire has been put out, wait until the grill has cooled down before cleaning it. This will prevent any remaining grease or debris from reigniting.

Remember to always be mindful of grill safety and take the necessary precautions to prevent accidents from happening.

How To Get Rid Of Odor

2/15/2023 (Permalink)

Odors can be unpleasant and difficult to remove, especially if they are deeply embedded in fabrics or other materials.

Odors can be unpleasant and difficult to remove, especially if they are deeply embedded in fabrics or other materials. Fortunately, there are several effective methods for odor removal:

1. Ventilate the area: One of the easiest and most effective ways to remove odors is to ventilate the area. This can be done by opening windows and doors to let in fresh air, using a fan to circulate the air, or simply turning on your air conditioning or heating system to help remove any stagnant or stale air.
2. Baking soda: Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that can help remove odors from a variety of surfaces. Simply sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the affected area and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Then, vacuum or sweep up the baking soda and any residual odor.
3. White vinegar: White vinegar is another effective natural deodorizer that can help remove stubborn odors. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and apply to the affected area. Let it sit for several hours, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
4. Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal is a powerful odor absorber that can help eliminate even the strongest of smells. Simply place a few pieces of activated charcoal in a container and leave it in the affected area for several hours or overnight. The charcoal will absorb the odor and leave the air smelling fresh and clean.
5. Enzyme cleaners: Enzyme cleaners are specially designed to break down organic matter and eliminate odors. They can be used on a variety of surfaces, including carpets, upholstery, and clothing. Simply apply the enzyme cleaner to the affected area, let it sit for several hours, then wash or rinse as directed.
6. Professional cleaning: If all else fails, it may be time to call in the professionals. Professional cleaning services have the tools and expertise to remove even the toughest odors, whether they are in your carpets, furniture, or air ducts. They can also help identify the source of the odor and provide advice on how to prevent it from returning in the future.

Whether you opt for natural remedies or professional cleaning services, it is important to take action as soon as possible to prevent the odor from getting worse and spreading to other areas of your home.

Commercial Carpet Drying

1/7/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Natick/Milford dries carpets during the restoration process.

SERVPRO of Natick/Milford comes across many materials during commercial and residential restorations. One of the common features in buildings is carpet. Preserving this material is a primary goal in every restoration task to reduce costs.

It can be a difficult task to dry commercial carpets for Natick businesses. We make sure to be meticulous in these efforts to restore the most, rather than throw away. Two things we look out for in carpet drying is Backing Separation (Delamination) and Latex Deterioration as we dry carpets in offices, hallways, and common areas.

Every carpet has two backings, primary and secondary. Latex is the adhesive used by manufacturers to attach the individual fibers to the primary. The second layer of latex holds the backings together. When water remains on the carpet for too long, the latex begins to break down; this results in the backings separating, and the fibers coming loose. To prevent this from occurring, we first remove the water. Technicians use pumps to remove the majority of water. When most water has been removed, we switch to extraction wands; which are vacuums, that draw out water from carpets and carpet pads without damaging them. As they perform the task, our technicians are trained to watch for any signs of delamination and deterioration.

Since overly aggressive extraction damages carpet, there will always be a small amount of moisture left trapped. Since most commercial carpets do not utilize a carpet pad, it is rarely necessary for us to remove one. To completely dry the carpet, we use a combination of air movers, fans, and dehumidifiers to remove the last trace of moisture.

We carefully examine the carpet and then lift a section at opposite ends of a room or hallway. This technique is know as "floating" in the industry. At the entry point, we place an air mover to force warm, dry air under the carpet which pushes out the damp, colder air. To speed the process, we set up a fan to draw the damp air out, which makes the air-mover more efficient. If the room or hallway is extremely humid, we use a dehumidifier to draw moisture from the air. Our SERVPRO technicians take pride in working around an active work environment, reducing disruptions to our clients' customers and their employees.

Drying out your business is a relatively simple task, but it is time-consuming. Restoring carpets and other property needs to be handled by a professional service to avoid secondary damage. SERVPRO of Natick/Milford has decades of experience and stands ready to support our fellow business owners.

Update on Nor'Easter (02/01/2021)

2/1/2021 (Permalink)

At 5 pm today, on February 1st, we're still in the thick of this current nor'easter. Snowfall rates this evening will increase at rates of 1-2 inches per hour as the temperatures drop below freezing. This will allow the bulk of the snow to accumulate. The snow will be thick, heavy and pasty. All of southern NE is under a winter storm warning except for Cape Cod and the Islands where warm air has intruded near the surface, causing the snow to turn to rain. In fact, the rain-snow line seems to be pressing westward both north of Boston and along the Southshore.

Tonight, in Hopkinton/Middlesex county, expect the snow to transition to an icy mix for a couple of hours, followed by rain. Tomorrow morning, areas north and west of Boston will experience sleet mixing with snow on the roadways. Conditions will improve as the storm pulls away to the north. Wednesday should improve with flurries possible in the am. Temps begin to warm into the 40's on Thursday and Friday. Another storm system is possible by early next week. We are following this current nor'easter very closely and will continue to post timely updates. As always, we are here to assist with any damages caused by snow, rain, winds, or any other occurrence. Do you have questions about our services? Check out our website, or call!

The IICRC Develops The Standards For The Restoration Industry

The IICRC has been the driving force in establishing the main industry standards and reference guides for professional carpet cleaning, water damage restoration and mold remediation. These IICRC standards take years to develop and require the coordination of experts in the field: manufacturers, industry organizations, insurance professionals, training schools, contractors, and public health professionals.

Every five years, the standards are reviewed and updated. The water damage restoration field changes rapidly with advancements in technology and science, and therefore the standards must evolve to keep pace.
