Restore vs. Replace?

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

When your house has been damaged by fire or water, SERVPRO of Grand Junction's mission is to make it "Like it never even happened" as quickly as possible and at the lowest possible cost to you.

Part of recovering your home and belongings includes identifying which things and structures can be preserved using our cutting-edge restoration procedures and equipment and which will need to be replaced—according to research conducted by the insurance and repair industries, restoring property after the fire and water damage is less expensive than replacing it. Restoring is also less disruptive to our clients, allowing them to stay in their homes throughout the process and rapidly return to normal.

 Our SERVPRO Team is trained to identify when restoring can be performed with the high-quality outcomes that our clients deserve as a preferred mitigation and restoration partner for most major insurance companies. This "repair" rather than "replace" mindset can help you save money while keeping family treasures, keepsakes, and other impossible or prohibitively expensive items to replace.

If your home or business has been impacted by water or fire damage, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Grand Junction today at 970-241-8181.

Commercial Cleaning for Your Business In Grand Junction

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

Most people do not have time to care about the daily wear and tear that contaminates their office or commercial establishment. However, when your typical housekeeping crew can't handle the dirt, odor, or moisture problems, call SERVPRO of Grand Junction for prompt assistance. Call us today at 970-241-8181

Whether removing an odor problem or deep cleaning flooring or carpets, you can rely on us to make your place of business look it's very best.

Carpet and Upholstery

Carpets act as a filter trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. Carpet and upholstery tend to show soiling over time.

Ceilings, Walls, and Hard Floors

Dirt and dust, pet dander, cooking oils and grease, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants may be present on your business's ceilings, walls, and hardwood floors. These toxins can be spread throughout your home by your heating and cooling system. Soils tend to collect on these materials over time, and specialized cleaning will be required to eliminate this buildup.

Professional Deodorization and Odor Removal

We are trained to detect and eliminate unwanted scents as deodorization specialists. SERVPRO of Grand Junction teaches IICRC technical classes on odor elimination. The odor can typically be eradicated without leaving a trace by identifying the source of the odor and determining the conditions under which it comes into contact with any surfaces.

Be ready for the winds in Grand Junction

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

Everybody familiar with Grand Junction's weather knows that the windiest months of the year are April and May, with March and June frequently following closely behind. The highest wind events are most common in the Spring.

It is critical to be aware of the risks that come with them. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provide wind warnings, watches, and advisories:

High Wind Warning

Take Action! There are sustained high winds with significantly stronger gusts. Seek refuge. Keep both hands on the steering wheel if you're driving.

High Wind Watch

Be Prepared! It's possible to have sustained, strong winds. To avoid being trapped outside, secure unsecured objects and change plans as needed.

Wind Advisory

Take Action! Severe winds are present but not strong enough to warrant a High Wind Warning. Outdoor objects should be secured, and driving should be done with prudence.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning

Take Action! A thunderstorm is happening or is imminent in the warning area. Severe thunderstorms have 58 miles per hour wind gusts and hail one inch larger. Seek shelter inside a sturdy building.

 Be prepared for High Winds.

•  Remove any dead trees or branches that are overhanging structures.
• Remove loose things that could blow away from patios, roofs, or balconies.
• Securely close windows and reinforce exterior doors.
• Bring in any unsecured items from outside and secure anything that could blow away and cause injury or damage.
• Call Us!

 If your home or commercial business needs storm damage restoration services, SERVPRO Grand Junction has a team of highly trained storm damage specialists available 24/7 to help you get back to normal. Call us today at 970-241-8181.

How To Leak-Proof Your Fruita Home

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

Leaks should be your most considerable dread as a homeowner. They are nothing but a headache. They can cause water damage, and the moisture in excess will wreak havoc on your things and the structural integrity of your home. You will be forced to replace items as a result. Leak-proofing your home is strongly advised for these reasons. Here we outline the measures to take.

 Clean the Gutters

Leaves, branches, and pine needles clog the downspout and prevent the gutters from draining runoff from the roof and away from your home. The result may be foundation problems and ice dams on your roof.

Inspect Your Roof

Climate, weather conditions, and even nearby trees can cause damage to roof shingles. Periodically inspect your roof for damaged, loose, or missing shingles.

Secure Your Home's Foundation

You can waterproof and dampproof your basement. According to some building codes, you need a dimpled membrane that stops groundwater from coming into contact with the walls and creates space for the wall to 'breathe.'

Protect Your Pipes

Protecting your pipes is essential (especially if you live in a colder climate). It will save you from having to deal with damage and expensive repairs.

Seal Windows and Doors

Stormy conditions can send rain beating against the side of your home. Prevent windows and doors from leaking water inside by sealing them

Insulate Your Attic

Insulating your attic will help regulate the area's heat and moisture content. This will prevent water vapor from building up and causing damage.

However, if you encounter any leaks or flooding, don't hesitate to contact SERVPRO of Grand Junction. We specialize in helping property owners recover from water damage and make it "Like it never even happened." Call us today! We are available 24/7 at 970-241-8181.

Smoke damage in your Grand Junction home?

5/25/2022 (Permalink)

If your house is still standing after a fire doesn't imply the damage is done. The fact that objects burn causes a surprising amount of fire damage. The smoke residue is to blame. The soot and smoke damage can worsen even after the fires are out.

Smoke can even damage regions not touched by flames and has the potential to spread to rooms where the fire did not occur, causing damage. Smoke damage occurs in some wildfires, even in buildings not involved in the fire!

 Several acids are commonly found in smoke. The chemical composition varies depending on the fire's origin, but carbon and sulfur acids are generally present. Scientists continue to produce discoveries concerning the composition of smoke regularly. For example, researchers only recently discovered a type of acid in smoke that they had never heard of before. Even smoke that isn't acidic can be harmful.

Items that may be damaged

• Carpets
• Curtains and upholstery
• Furniture
• Clothing
• Appliances
• Plastic
• Porcelain

 When it comes to smoke damage, time is always of the essence. The sooner you act, the better your chances of avoiding permanent injury. Some materials, such as synthetic fibers and porous things, require immediate action to be properly rescued. The elements of your home, such as painted walls and floors, must be addressed in days, if not hours. Furthermore, painted walls and wood furniture can become permanently discolored if not handled promptly. When smoke and soot particles are left on metal surfaces for too long, they can rust and corrode. The longer you wait to remediate your smoke-damaged house, the more extensive the damage will develop, and the remediation cost will rise.

We specialize in fire and water damage restoration and have extensive fire damage cleanup and restoration training to get your property back to normal. For example, if you had a fire in your home or were close to one, call SERVPRO of Grand Junction right away. We can be reached at 970-241-8181.

Cleaning up after a Fire in Grand Junction

5/24/2022 (Permalink)

A house fire is one of the most unfortunate events for any homeowner. If your house is damaged by fire, SERVPRO of Grand Junction will help you get back on your feet. However, there are a few things that homeowners in the Grand Junction area and elsewhere must do after a fire.

 Call your Insurance

You must immediately contact your insurance carrier. Your agent will assist you in determining what happens after the fire has been extinguished and guide you through the process of locating qualified contractors. Your adjuster should help you find a somewhere to stay while your home is being repaired, and they can also help you figure out your current financial condition. 

 Call us

SERVPRO of Grand Junction is a restoration company that helps people with their homes following a fire throughout the US. What makes a restoration company imperative is that you cannot just head back into your home after a fire. Numerous hazards must be cleaned and boarded, and various other issues must be handled first. For example, the water used to put out the fire can cause water damage, a whole other problem to add to the list following a fire. 

What's salvageable?

Once you've had a restoration specialist handle the specifics within your home and have been given permission to enter, it's time to pick through your belongings to see what can be preserved and what must be discarded. For example, you may be able to salvage objects from your home that have not been destroyed. Many more objects will need to be sorted and disposed of because they are unsalvageable.

It's devastating to be the victim of a house fire. It's also a frightening process, but you don't have to do it alone. SERVPRO's highly trained technicians are ready to assist you 24/7. So give us a call today at 970-241-8181; we will make it "Like it never even happened."
