If you discover damage in your residence, call SERVPRO of Spring Valley/Jamul right away.
Have you ever considered the different ways your home could be damaged? Severe storms, fires, aging, neighbors who like to show off their long throw…when you do stop to consider it, there are lots of things that could have you reaching for the phone to call your insurance company.
There may be a lot of risks to think about, but no one wants to spend their days worried about a disaster. Instead, you can spend time preparing. When you are prepared for a potential disaster, you can handle even the most unexpected storm.
In order to prepare, you need to first understand the threats you really do face. The more you understand about the threats, the more you will also understand how easy recovering from them can be, especially with SERVPRO of Spring Valley/Jamul in your own backyard.
Living in this part of California comes with pretty mild temperatures, but that doesn’t always equal mild weather. We often see strong thunderstorms, wildfires and impressive heat waves that all create risks for our homes. Flooding often occasionally happens from heavy rains or when the Sweetwater River gets high.
There may be a variety of risks that could leave our home damaged, but there are three common areas of risk that everyone should be aware of. Roof damage, water damage and fires affect homes around the nation regularly.
Water can affect your home in a number of ways, including through the roof during a heavy rain or an unexpected plumbing failure. The same is true for your roof, as it could be damaged in high winds we frequently experience in Spring Valley or it could be from a loose limb coming out of a tree unexpectedly when the skies are a beautiful blue.
With zoning regulations, most of our yards are already prepared for potential wildfires in order to protect our home, but many fires actually start because of human error inside.
Living through a disaster is hard, and when you start seeing the depth of damage that is left behind, it can feel incredibly traumatic. One kind of damage, whether it is natural or manmade, will almost always lead to another kind of damage.
A flood will leave everything in its path dripping, but it will also create the perfect environment for mold to grow and spread rapidly until it threatens your foundation. A fire doesn’t just destroy anything the flames touch, but it also spreads smoke and soot throughout your home. And the firefighting efforts can leave your home wet and vulnerable to mold as well.
No matter how the disaster your home endures started, your restoration process will likely require a number of steps. SERVPRO® is ready for all of them—handling water, mold, fire, wind or even construction. Our team is trained in every kind of recovery, which means we have all of your needs covered.
If a flood strikes in your basement or your roof springs a leak, our first priority will be securing and drying your home. We will replace roof beams if needed as we go and make sure there are no lingering odors. Once our team gets things cleaned up, we will sanitize and seal your home to ensure mold cannot return.
If a fire affects your home, our process will be similar in that we will start by handling the most damaged areas first. Our crew will ensure your home is sealed off from the elements and start securing everything. We will look at your entire house in order to leave behind no smoke, soot or odors. If the fire destroyed a part of your home beyond repair we’ll tear it down and rebuild it.
SERVPRO deals directly with your insurance and coordinates with any other contractors needed to get things put back together. Whatever can be done to make sure your process is smooth and simple is exactly what we will do. With 24⁄7 availability, tools and training, we will put your home back together quickly.
