Handling a Sewage Leak | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

3/15/2024 (Permalink)

sewage water pooling on a kitchen floor after a leak SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City is always ready to respond to your call when biohazard incidents strike.

Finding a sewage leak in your home or place of business might be one of the most frustrating situations you will ever have to deal with. This kind of leak may not do as much damage as some other disasters, but it will be one of the messiest and stinkiest disasters that could strike.

It is actually one of the more commonly occurring disasters, and it can affect anyone. The best way to get through a sewage leak is by learning how to quickly and safely respond in order to keep things under control.

What to Do First

When pipes become blocked or clogged, wastewater will start flowing backward, eventually finding its way out through sink drains, tub drains and shower drains. Sewage leaks can also start when a pipe in your system or a water line becomes damaged.

Where it comes from doesn’t really matter, you need to stay away from any sewage that has leaked or backed up into your home. When a flood or water leak affects a physical space, it is classified into three types of water—white water, gray water and black water. White water and gray water come from sources that are generally free of toxins, but black water is considered toxic. Sewage falls in the black water category and can contain viruses, bacteria and other microbes harmful to your health.

Stay away from sewage that has entered your space. Locate the water shut-off valve and cut the water in order to prevent any further spreading. Open windows and turn on fans that are near the area to start eliminating fumes. Secure the space so that no one else can come into contact with the sewage leak.

Where SERVPRO® Comes In

At SERVPRO, our team is trained and certified in handling toxic and biohazard situations. When you call us, we will gather information about your unique situation while we also start putting together a team and the proper equipment to head to your property.

As soon as you are able, snap some photos of the area. This might not be the most fun you have ever had taking pictures, but the more images you can get, the easier it will be to process your insurance claims. We can also use these pictures to help identify how the situation started and what recovery is going to look like.

Upon the arrival of our team, our first goal will be to find the source of the leak in order to repair it. We will also start removing standing water and sewage. Remember that we are dealing with a toxic situation. Our crew will have the proper protective equipment to fully clean the area, but it is best for you to stay away until everything is considered safe.

During the recovery process, we will work to repair the original cause and any subsequent damage the leak has caused. Our team is highly trained in deep-cleaning and odor removal, and we will do both in your home or office. As the restoration continues, we will get everything sanitized in order to ensure that everything is safe for your return.

While we all hope to never have to deal with a stinky sewage situation, if you do experience a leak, call us right away. We will safely handle the whole mess for you.

Sewage leaks should always be cleaned up by professionals. Call SERVPRO, and we will take care of you.

Spring Storm Prep | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

3/1/2024 (Permalink)

heavy rain pouring down on an outdoor metal roof in a storm Let SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City help you get from April showers to May flowers.

Spring is here, which means more time outdoors—at least, when it isn’t raining. Spring in Oklahoma may bring plenty of new flowers, but it also brings heavy rains and thunderstorms.

The further we get into the spring season, the stronger storms can become. Tornadoes are also a reality. With severe weather a real possibility this time of the year, it is crucial to be prepared for anything Mother Nature throws our way.

Receiving weather alerts and staying up to date on severe storm situations can save your life when things are getting intense. There are plenty of ways to keep you and your family safe through every weather event.

The Power of the Internet

Are you ever very far away from your phone? Our devices are plentiful these days, and a great way to stay connected. They are also a great way to receive real-time alerts when there is a situation headed your way. You can receive Wireless Emergency Alerts that will come through automatically for a variety of events, but you can also download apps that can keep you informed.

When you are choosing apps to receive notifications from, stick to nationally recognized organizations and local sources. News stations are a good choice as they can not only send weather alerts for your area, but you could choose to receive a number of other alerts relevant to your town. Make sure you also sign up for alerts from the city.

Make sure you are utilizing a variety of sources when severe weather is predicted. Tune into a news station in order to keep up to date about evacuation orders, road closures and shelter openings.

Non-Electronic Options

While our electronics do a great job of keeping us up to date on just about everything, they still require power in order to keep running long-term. It isn’t uncommon for the power to be knocked out when a storm rolls through, and sometimes power outages can last for days. You need another way to quickly receive weather alerts when the batteries on your phone and other devices wear out.

Many towns have systems that will alarm for a number of events. If your home is close enough to hear them, make sure you know what the different alarms mean so that you can respond appropriately. An NOAA weather radio is a wonderful investment that every home should make. These are generally powered with a hand-crank or with solar power, and they are portable. That means you can keep up with alerts and other news even if you are in a sheltered location.

Keep your weather radio on even after the first wave of storms has moved through. Many severe systems come with more than one round of potentially damaging winds, thunderstorms and tornadoes.

With multiple ways to receive updates and alerts, you can rest a little easier knowing that you and your family can move to safety as needed. Even a prepared home may not come out unscathed, though, when storms are strong enough. If you find your home damaged, call us. We can respond day or night to start your recovery right away. We will get things back to normal fast.

Serious storms can cause serious property damage. Call SERVPRO® 247 for immediate restoration assistance.

business man in office talking to female SERVPRO rep SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City is here for your business every step of the way, from ERPs to disaster recovery.

Disasters can be a real whirlwind. In a matter of seconds, your home, community and business can all be left damaged, leaving you wondering where to even begin recovery.

Getting your home put back together after a disaster strikes is crucial, but when you own a business, so is getting back to work. With a good plan in place and our professional staff at SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City right around the corner, you can get every part of your life put back together quickly no matter what happens.

<h3ahead-of-time">Prepare Ahead of Time

In order to recover quickly after a disaster strikes, you need to have a plan. When you know what to do before, during and after a flood, storm or fire, you can move seamlessly back into action as soon as it is safe to do so.

Communication is one of the most vital parts of a disaster plan. Your emergency plan should be well-rehearsed and always on the forefront of your employees’ minds. Make it a part of your regular training as well as your onboarding for new staff members.

Every few months, spend time going through your building with your team. Make sure to note where the main water shut-off valve is, as well as where fire extinguishers are located. Walk exit paths and make sure escape routes are well-marked. It may be helpful to create assignments for staff members in order to secure your building as much as possible ahead of a predicted disaster.

After a disaster has hit your office, make sure your employees know how to get back to work. If you are going remote, check secure networks and equipment ahead of the storm or other natural disaster headed your way. If you have an alternative work location, make sure keys are in the right hands and everyone knows when they are expected.

Stay in constant communication with your team throughout the event. Some natural disasters can take out networks long-term, so be sure to have multiple ways to keep up with how everyone is doing and share information.

<h3quickly">Recover Quickly

When you have a solid emergency plan, you can rest a little easier knowing that you are well on the road to reopening no matter what kind of damage you end up with. Contact our team at SERVPRO® the moment it is safe to do so and we will head to your property to begin restoration.

While we assess your property and start the drying, rebuilding or any other recovery efforts, you can start sharing information with your customers. Tell your story openly and honestly, and keep them posted on progress and potential reopening dates.

Give yourself a little grace and remember to stay flexible as your recovery continues. You may have to scale your operations back or change how you operate in order to move steadily towards getting back to normal. Keep an open mind and remember this new normal is only for a little while.

Make an emergency plan for your business so that you can respond well to anything that comes your way. Practice it regularly, and keep constant communication with your staff and your customers. You will be up and running faster than you ever thought possible.

Has your business experienced a disaster, or do you want help building an emergency plan? Contact us to find everything you need.

One Team that Handles All the Damage | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

2/1/2024 (Permalink)

heavy rain pounding down on a blacktop surface SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City is Here to Help® when any disaster strikes!

You know that old saying “when it rains, it pours”? Unfortunately, it all too often proves itself true—one little piece of bad luck can lead to a whole streak of bad luck. This can be particularly true when it comes to dealing with damage after a disaster.

Whether it comes from Mother Nature or just an accidental appliance failure, one kind of damage always leads to another. That makes having a total restoration team like SERVPRO® in your backyard a huge relief.

The Impact of Disasters

Disaster can take an enormous toll on your home, your community and almost every aspect of your life. Even when a storm is predicted far enough out to give you time to prepare your home and your emergency supplies, weather can change rapidly and hit harder than anticipated. A disaster occurring in your home can be equally as devastating, especially because there is often very little sign that something is wrong.

A rainstorm can turn heavy and create a flooding situation, which can leave your home wet and mold growing. High winds can blow through unannounced and take out trees or power lines, damaging your roof or your home internally as you go without electricity long term. A fire leaves behind all kinds of damage, including smoke, soot, water, structural damage and odors that are hard to get rid of.

Disasters come with compounding damage. The longer one kind of damage hangs around, the worse another one will be.

The physical damage to your home or neighborhood isn’t the only thing you will be faced with, either. The mental toll of living through a disaster can be immeasurably hard, which is why fast and efficient restoration is a must.

A Single Team, Total Restoration

When it comes to damage in your home or your community, timing will always be of the essence. That is why our phone lines are open 247, 365 days a year. The moment you call us is the moment your recovery begins, as we take as much information as possible and simultaneously start planning for a team to head to your property.

Our crew is trained and certified in every potential disaster scenario that could happen. Not only do we continually educate ourselves to best serve you, but we are also local. As your neighbors, we understand how much this community means, and we have experienced disasters with you. We have handled cleaning in homes and offices all throughout town.

If you experience roof damage during high winds or a strong storm, we can respond fast to get a tarp on it and prevent further damage while we assess the rest of your home. When flooding strikes, we will be there quickly to start removing water while we also work to save as much of your personal belongings as we can so you have less to replace later.

Sometimes a disaster can hit hard enough that you will require more than just restoration. We can rebuild a portion of your home so that everything feels exactly as it should again. Whatever it takes to get you back to normal, we are going to do it.

Being a total restoration company means that we are with you from step one all the way until everything is as it should be again. If there are lingering odors even after restoration is complete, we will continue to work until your home smells like home again.

A highly trained, certified and local staff, along with industry-leading equipment and availability the moment you need us, makes choosing SERVPRO an easy choice. Days full of sunshine are in your future, and we will get you to them quickly so you can enjoy every moment.

Fire Safety for the Cozy Season | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

1/16/2024 (Permalink)

brick chimney with lit fire logs Fire safety is a top priority for us at SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City this winter. Keep your home safe with these helpful tips!

As the cold season fully sets in, it gives us the perfect excuse to cuddle up under blankets and wear fuzzy socks as often as possible. It is also the perfect time of the year to watch a fire in your fireplace.

Unfortunately, the number of house fires rises dramatically during this time of year as well. Fireplaces, space heaters and other heating devices leave our home susceptible to damage when they are used incorrectly or malfunction. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them—you just have to be safe when you do.

Addressing Your Fireplace

There isn’t anything better than the ambiance of a glowing fire. Fireplaces can also pose some pretty big hazards for your home when they aren’t used correctly.

If you burn wood, ashes and other debris should be cleaned out after every fire. Your chimney should be professionally cleaned at least once a year to remove creosote buildup. A professional inspection should also be completed on chimneys, regardless of the fuel source you use.

Make sure there isn’t anything flammable too close to the fire, even if it means rethinking your mantle decorations. There should be smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors nearby, as well as a fire extinguisher. Don’t skip on the dusting around the fireplace either. Dust is highly flammable, and it should be kept under control with regular cleanings.

Space Heater Safety

A space heater is a great way to add a little extra heat to a drafty room, especially when the temperatures get really low. Space heaters are responsible for nearly 1,700 house fires each year, though, with most of them from unsafe use.

Make sure wherever you put your space heater it is on solid, level ground. Keep at least three feet around it clear of anything flammable. Always check your cord, and skip using one that has frayed or otherwise aged. Space heaters should never be plugged into extension cords or power strips, but instead should always be plugged directly into a wall outlet.

Suggested Safety Features for Your Space Heater

If you have older space heaters, an upgrade is a good idea to ensure you have the best safety features. While there are lots of options for heaters on the market today, there are a few things you want to look for to ensure your safety.

Research the manufacturer you are purchasing from. They should be both certified and reliable, and they should have a solid set of testing that their equipment goes through before use. Any heater you use should have a shut-off feature that kicks in when the unit is tipped or knocked over, as well as a timer that will automatically shut off your heater when it has run long-term.

Take a look at the cord on your space heaters, and make sure they feel heavy duty and are at least six feet. Think about where you will be running the heater to ensure you are getting one with a long-enough cord to run safely.

Give your fireplace a little extra attention and use your space heaters safely so that you can get the most out of the cozy season. If you do have a problem, call SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City and we will get things handled quickly.

A quick fire damage restoration is just a phone call away. Call SERVPRO® for immediate assistance.

Where to Find Moisture in Your Home | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

1/2/2024 (Permalink)

close up of condensation on window pane and ledge Water damage can happen anywhere in your home. Call SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City to restore water damage on your property 24/7, 365.

Do you think you could measure the amount of water you use in your home every day? From washing dishes and clothes to hosing off the dog, water is something we rely on all day long.

Having instant access to water is certainly convenient, but when a leak strikes, it can create utter chaos. Some leaks may drip long-term before you even know they have started.

When you know the top places that moisture likes to play hide and seek, you can take steps to prevent it. The faster you find and stop leaks, the less damage you will have.

Under Your Sinks

The area under your sinks is a prime location for leaks. With numerous water lines running in different directions and more items stored under there than probably should be, leaks can go unnoticed for a while.

When a leak starts under a sink, it often seeps into walls, cabinets and under the floor. Look under your sinks weekly, and feel along all the water lines for excess moisture. Tighten connectors, and replace any seals that are beginning to show signs of wear and tear.

Beneath Appliances

How many loads of laundry do you do in a day? Our large appliances that use water are crucial for keeping our lives running, but they are also very susceptible to hidden leaks. When an appliance leaks, it often starts underneath or behind it, which means it can take a long time to find.

Pull out your dishwashers, refrigerators and washing machines every few months and give the area around them a deep-cleaning. Look for puddles, soft spots in the floor or mold growth. Check water line connections and replace anything worn down.

Behind Your Walls or Floors

One of the reasons these hidden leaks are so dangerous is that they can affect so many other areas of your home. Water moves quickly, and it only takes a little bit of water to seep through cracks and crevices, often ending up behind your walls and under the floor.

Pay attention to musty odors, especially when they are new or you notice them near an appliance. A new squeaky spot in the floor is another indicator that it is time to investigate things as well.

Around Your Windows and Doors

Condensation on your windows might be a common sight in your home, especially as the temperature goes up and down outside. This isn’t something you should ignore though, as condensation can linger and get into cracks. Over time, this could leave you with structural damage.

Run your fingers around the edges of your window and door frames. If there is moisture, consider adding caulking to keep things well sealed. Peeling wallpaper or bubbling paint near the corner of your windows is another key indicator that moisture is causing some problems.

Fear not, though—finding water damage in your home doesn’t have to be a reason to panic. With one phone call to SERVPRO®, we can get your home put back together fast. Our professionals are ready to respond the moment you need us and tackle any kind of damage you might be facing.

Don’t ignore signs of water damage! Call SERVPRO for a quick restoration.

Spending time thinking about damage from disaster isn’t something most of us do. It’s hard to imagine them happening anywhere, but imagining our own homes and community being damaged is completely unfathomable.

You can prepare for natural disasters, but even a prepared home may end up with damage. A disaster that happens inside your home and is manmade in nature can leave you facing an incredible amount of chaos as well, especially as they are often completely out of nowhere.

When You Find Water in Your Business | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

12/1/2023 (Permalink)

concrete floor tiling with large cracks and water on it Has water damage infiltrated your business? Give SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City a call to get that resolved!

The day has begun. You head into the building and reach for the lights, and start to wonder where in the world that musty odor is coming from. Do you have a leak somewhere in the building?

That is enough to make anyone feel panicky, but what about if you have stepped inside for the day and found yourself ankle-deep in a puddle of water? Your day will quickly feel like a nightmare.

Whether water in your business comes from a natural disaster or a plumbing failure, the faster you are able to take action, the less damage your building will have. To take fast action, though, you need to know exactly what to do when you find water in your business.

One Step at a Time

A flooded business is an overwhelming situation to be in, even when the flooding stems from a natural disaster you were able to prepare in advance for. Give yourself a chance to breathe, and focus on taking things one single step at a time.

When you break things down, recovery can get started right away, preventing extensive losses and potential mold growth.

1.Stay safe. When a disaster strikes, safety needs to be your first priority. Find a dry place to better assess the situation and call SERVPRO® right away. While we gather your information over the phone and put together a team to head to your property, take as many photos of the flooding and damage as you can.

2. Control the disaster. If water is still actively flowing, the best way you can prevent major losses is to locate the source. This will also give you a good idea of what kind of water you are dealing with. If you can find the exact source but you have determined the issue is internal, shut the water off to the building via the main valve.

3. Start the drying process. Floodwaters don’t always start off contaminated, but they can quickly become that way—especially the longer it sits. The more you can stay out of the water and keep yourself dry, the safer you will be. Open windows around the affected area, and remove anything you can that is in the path of the water.

Work With the Pros

When our professionals arrive at your property, they will immediately begin removing standing water. At the same time, they will complete an assessment so that you know exactly what your recovery process is going to look like. We will also work directly with your insurance agency to ensure your entire restoration is as simple as possible.

As the recovery efforts continue, you can turn your focus back on getting your business up and running again. Our experts will work with you to determine if parts of your building are still safe to use, and if so, they will close off the section needing repair while your employees get back to work.

Throughout the drying process, we make it our goal to save as many of your belongings as possible. We want to restore so that you don’t have to replace, but you will be a part of every decision that has to be made the whole time.

Don’t let finding water in your building send you into waves of panic. With SERVPRO in your backyard, it only takes a phone call to get a fast recovery underway. We will have you back in business before you know it.

Do you need repairs after a water disaster in your commercial building? Contact us to get dried out quickly.

Damage That Could Happen to Your Home | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

11/17/2023 (Permalink)

residentail home with roof destroyed and debris falling down If you discover damage in your residence, call SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City right away.

There are so many things that leave our home vulnerable to damage—severe weather, a fire, an aging structure or even that friendly neighbor who chucks a ball a little too hard and breaks your window.

Even though there are risks, we can’t spend our time worrying about them. A natural disaster might not be easily predicted, but with preparation, you can rest a little easier knowing that you have done everything possible to protect your home and your family.

We can’t prepare for something when we don’t know what to prepare for, so the best way to start protecting your home is to get to know the kinds of damage your home might face. The more you know about your risks, the more you will understand how easily they can be restored when a disaster strikes, especially with SERVPRO® of North Oklahoma City right around the corner.

The Biggest Risks

Tornadoes, thunderstorms and high winds are some of the biggest threats our weather in Oklahoma City might bring to us. While spring and summer tend to be the months we see the most severe weather, it can’t be ruled out even when the temperatures have started to cool down.

While the threats may vary, there are three main ways homes across the nation, and in Oklahoma, are most commonly damaged. Roof damage, water damage and fire are dangers that everyone should be prepared for.

Each of these dangers can come from a variety of different places too, including internal and external places. Water might be from a flood or a heavy rain, or it could be from an appliance or plumbing failure. Your roof can experience damage from rain or a falling limb. There is a slight risk of wildfires in our area, but most home fires originate inside as a result of manmade incidents.

Compounding Damages

Living through any kind of disaster is a traumatic experience, but when you begin to see the depth of compounding damage that has been done it can feel completely overwhelming. One kind of damage almost always leads to another kind of damage.

Flooding doesn’t just leave your home wet, but it also allows for mold to start and spread rapidly. Fire can create total destruction where the flames were, but it can also spread smoke, soot and odors into rooms far away from where it began. Your home will also experience water damage or damage from the chemicals used to put the fire out.

No matter how your home is damaged, your recovery process will need to happen in a few different steps. Our team will walk you through every step, and with training in a multitude of areas, we can handle anything your restoration needs. SERVPRO has the tools to tackle water, mold, wind, fire and even construction.

If you experience a flooded basement or a leak in your roof, our first step will be to start drying everything out. We will also tackle any lingering odors that might be left behind and ensure your home is structurally sound. This might mean replacing roof beams or sealing up your basement in order to stop any potential mold.

After a fire, we will handle the most damaged areas of your home. We will remove anything too damaged to repair and seal your house off from the elements. Our team will inspect every part of your home to ensure smoke and soot damage are removed. If your home is damaged beyond repair, we can take it down and rebuild it.

When you work with SERVPRO, you won’t have to coordinate with other contractors. We will handle dealing with your insurance company, too. We make it our goal to make your recovery process as easy and smooth as possible. With 247 availability, we get started fast so that you can get your home back.

Does your home need restoration and you don’t want to make more than one call? Contact us to get everything handled by one team.

Emergency Plans Keep Your Business Safe | SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City

11/17/2023 (Permalink)

clip board with a disaster preparedness checklist and emergency supplies in the background Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City is here for you when disaster strikes!

Were you aware that natural disasters have been on the rise? If you look into the statistics, not only are natural disasters happening more often, but they are also leaving behind more damage as their strength steadily increases.

Statistics aren’t the end-all be-all, though, and your business might not ever see a damaging natural disaster. While that may be true, there is still the potential risk for manmade disasters that could occur and damage your property.

It might feel easier to avoid thinking about your risks, but it is important to stay ahead of potential disasters. When you have a plan, you can keep your people safe and never miss a moment of work.

The Importance of a Plan

As natural disasters continue to become more frequent and a wider threat, having a plan is more important than ever when it comes to protecting lives and avoiding losses. Spending time examining your business’ specific threats can allow you to take steps to prepare before a flood, fire or storm hits.

Not only are you at risk for physical damage when a disaster strikes, but it could also leave your business with huge financial losses. When you have a plan, you can protect your team and your income—avoiding or at least limiting potential business interruptions after an event occurs.

When you are prepared ahead of time, you can get back to work the moment things are safe. Many businesses that are forced to close due to either natural or manmade damage never reopen. Creating a plan means your workflow can keep going.

An Emergency Ready Plan

So, how do you get started on your plan? With a phone call to SERVPRO® you can find the perfect package for keeping your business completely prepared no matter what happens. Our Emergency Ready Plan can be completely personalized for your needs—which means your business will be completely covered.

To start creating your plan, our crew will complete an assessment of your business. We want to create the best path for you and your team to take before, during and after an event occurs. Our professionals will walk you through everything you need to do.

When a storm or other natural disaster is predicted, your plan will lay out exactly what to do ahead of the threat. This will likely include preparing your building, protecting paperwork and establishing how remote work will happen. You won’t have to worry about rushing through trying to hand out instructions; your team will know exactly what to do from the moment you put the plan into action.

Communication will be a crucial part of your plan at every stage. Your employees will know the chain of command so that reporting can continue and instructions can be handled efficiently. After the disaster is over, our crew will head to your property in order to start restorations while your team either gets back to work from home or checks in at an alternate physical location.

SERVPRO’s Emergency Ready Plan is a complete package, perfectly personalized to protect your business. When you have an Emergency Ready Plan, you can protect your business from financial losses and avoid closures. Not only do you get an experienced crew that can respond 247, but you also get the backing of a national brand. It’s our goal to put things back together fast.
