SERVPRO of Talladega, Clay & Randolph Counties is Here to Help® with your business' disaster recovery!

When a disaster strikes, it can leave your mind spinning with thoughts. How your friends and family are doing will most likely be the first thing you spend time worrying about, with how well your house fared a close second.

Sorting through all of your thoughts and worries can leave you overwhelmed, and parts of the recovery process—like your insurance claim—might not be something you have considered.

That is why our crew is here for you day or night. We will pick up the pieces and make sure nothing is missed so that your recovery is smooth and easy.

Start Fast, Document Often

When it comes to restoration, every disaster is a little different. They do all share one thing in common, though, and that’s timing. The faster you can respond after a flood, fire, storm or any other event, the more you can mitigate your losses. Make sure you are prioritizing your safety, and stay in a safe location until the proper authorities have given an all-clear. Once you can move around, make sure to avoid floodwater, fire-related hot spots or downed power lines.

If the disaster moved through your entire community, check on your neighbors. Make sure any emergent needs are taken care of and that your loved ones are OK. After that, call our SERVPRO® office. We will start your recovery process immediately over the phone and put together a team to head to your property right away.

In the meantime, start taking photos of all the visible damage. The more you can document immediately after a disaster has occurred, the easier your insurance claim process will be. Do your best to wait on our crew before starting any repairs, but if there is something you need to fix right away, make sure you document the before and after.

Leave It to Our Team

When our team makes it to your property, we will start by securing your home from potential further damage. As we secure your roof or board up windows, we will also start working through the documentation you created in order to get your insurance claim process underway. Our team is not just trained in disaster-related damage repairs—we are also highly trained in insurance standards and requirements.

As we work, we will put together an itemized list of your losses and take additional photographs of damage that may not have been immediately visible after the disaster. We are certified to meet insurance inspection standards, which means you can trust that the work will only need to be done once. Our staff also makes it a goal to restore rather than replace as many of your belongings as possible so that your recovery costs stay low.

Put your recovery into the hands of our team, and we will get your home back together fast. From tarping your roof to ensuring that your insurance claim process is smooth, we have your whole recovery completely covered.

When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.

Summer Fire Prevention

9/6/2022 (Permalink)

Summer weather means Memorial Day cookouts, Fourth of July fireworks, and all sorts of campfire fun as families across the country take advantage of the warm temperatures to get back in touch with nature.

It’s certainly relaxing to enjoy a beach bonfire with friends and loved ones, or roast marshmallows by the lake or in the backyard fire pit, but it’s also important to ensure that everyone stays safe by observing a few simple fire protection guidelines.

1. Keep a bucket of water handy. If an ember floats out of your fire pit, or a log falls down from your bonfire stack and sets nearby foliage, paper, or other flammable materials aflame, you don’t want to be scrambling for a way to put the fire out. Having a bucket of water nearby is a great first response tool to keep a fire under control.

2. Supervise all fireworks. Sparklers and pinwheels might seem “low risk,” but the reality is that there aren’t any fireworks out there that are safe enough for kids to use without adult supervision.

3. Don’t let barbecue grease build up. Whether you’re using a charcoal or a gas grill, it’s important to keep it clean to prevent accidental grease fires caused by all of the gunk that can accumulate on a grill over time.

4. Inspect the area around your BBQ and campfire. You don’t want to grill or light a campfire anywhere near other flammable materials. This includes deck railings, overhanging branches, dry grass or that pile of dry wood and recycling sitting in the back corner of your yard. If you’re camping, clear out the area immediately around your BBQ or campfire spot to be sure that there’s no scrub or brush nearby that could ignite if a spark lands on it.

5. When you’re done with the fun, put out the flames. While it might seem romantic to fall asleep in front of a campfire, you really should dump water and/or sand on those embers before catching some shut-eye. The same goes for BBQs – close your propane valve and the unit’s lid, as well as any vents on a charcoal grill once you’re done. Unsupervised BBQs can easily tip over in the wind. A breeze can pick up and carry coals and embers from that campfire, dropping them where they can ignite dry grass, branches, trees or deck planks.

6. It’s also important to ensure that no one tries to re-light fireworks that don’t work properly the first time. Dump these in a bucket of water and move on to the next package.

And always remember if you do experience a fire in or near your home or business the professional power of SERVPRO is ready to help assist you with any damage that might occur.

SERVPRO employee standing in office next to a person reviewing plans.

If the day comes where your business is hit with disaster or emergency, you can rest assured SERVPRO will be there to help.

In Alabama, we know that local businesses are the heart of our culture. Our small businesses keep our towns running, but keeping a business running can be like walking on a tightrope.

You have your staff to take care of, payroll to make and a social media presence to maintain, all while competing in a marketplace with an ever-changing landscape. Your full-time job is more accurately an “overtime” job.

One business disruption can derail a small business for good. FEMA reports that 40% of small businesses never reopen after a natural disaster, and another quarter of businesses that do reopen are forced to close within a year.

Having a good plan in place can make all the difference, shortening our time away from our businesses and keeping our small town culture moving forward. SERVPRO of Talladega, Clay and Randolph Counties wants to get your business ready for anything that may come your way.

Natural disasters and emergencies are not something we want to think about. But when they happen, we don’t want to find ourselves adding to the alarming statistics by completely derailing. We can work with you so that while you focus on thriving in our community, you can rest assured your business will stay on track when the unthinkable hits.

Three-quarters of all small businesses do not have a plan in place in the event of an emergency or disaster. That needs to change.

We can help prepare your business for a disaster. Our experts will evaluate your business needs and create a plan that covers everything from data recovery and backup to alternate work locations. With our Emergency Ready Plan, you and your team will know the chain of command, alternate vendors you can work with and much more.

Three Different Ways To Keep Mold Out Of Your Business

8/9/2021 (Permalink)

To make money in business, you must ensure your warehouse and other commercial facilities stay in good shape. If you have mold growth at your job site, your employees may not want to come to work. Moreover, mold can ruin equipment, furnishings, inventory and other items. As such, mold prevention should be important to you. Here are three ways you can keep mold from growing inside your commercial building.

1. Watch for Leaks

Water is important to any business. After all, you have water surging through pipes, feeding toilets and sinks and facilitating everyday operations. When water stays where it is supposed to stay, you probably don’t think much about it. If there is a leak, though, mold can grow quickly. Accordingly, to contain mold, you must watch for signs of water damage. By regularly inspecting plumbing systems, fixtures, gutters, basements and sump pumps, you can decrease your odds of missing the sorts of leaks that allow mold to flourish.

2. Invest in a Hygrometer

Standing water isn’t the only thing that contributes to the growth of mold. On the contrary, high humidity can encourage mold to grow rampantly. As such, if mold prevention is important to you, you must have a way of measuring humidity. With a hygrometer, you know exactly how much moisture is in the air.

3. Prioritize Mold Removal

Because it reproduces with microscopic spores, mold can spread quickly. If you notice mold inside your building, you can assume it has moved to other areas. By contracting with a mold-mitigation service, you can develop a plan for eradicating mold.

As a business owner you understand the importance of keeping your commercial property in tip-top shape. While a variety of things affect the condition of your building, mold can quickly ruin it. By focusing on mold prevention, you ensure you get the most out of your commercial facility.

3 Ways You Can Keep Mold from Growing Inside Your Commercial Building

To make money in business, you must ensure your warehouse and other commercial facilities stay in good shape. If you have mold growth at your jobsite, your employees may not want to come to work. Moreover, mold can ruin equipment, furnishings, inventory and other items. As such, mold prevention should be important to you. Here are three ways you can keep mold from growing inside your commercial building.

1. Watch for Leaks

Water is important to any business. After all, you have water surging through pipes, feeding toilets and sinks and facilitating everyday operations. When water stays where it is supposed to stay, you probably don’t think much about it. If there is a leak, though, mold can grow quickly. Accordingly, to contain mold, you must watch for signs of water damage. By regularly inspecting plumbing systems, fixtures, gutters, basements and sump pumps, you can decrease your odds of missing the sorts of leaks that allow mold to flourish.

2. Invest in a Hygrometer

Standing water isn’t the only thing that contributes to the growth of mold. On the contrary, high humidity can encourage mold to grow rampantly. As such, if mold prevention is important to you, you must have a way of measuring humidity. With a hygrometer, you know exactly how much moisture is in the air.

3. Prioritize Mold Removal

Because it reproduces with microscopic spores, mold can spread quickly. If you notice mold inside your building, you can assume it has moved to other areas. By contracting with a mold-mitigation service, you can develop a plan for eradicating mold.

As a business owner you understand the importance of keeping your commercial property in tip-top shape. While a variety of things affect the condition of your building, mold can quickly ruin it. By focusing on mold prevention, you ensure you get the most out of your commercial facility.
