Before Help Arrives-Emergency Fire and Water Advice:

Water Damage

When you have had water or sewer damage to your home, you want the damage corrected as quickly as possible and rightly so! So here are some steps to take Before Help Arrives – ServiceMaster Professional Restoration…

Time is of the essence. Harmful bacteria can begin growing within hours of the water loss. Depending on a number of factors, including temperature and moisture levels, mold can begin to grow. Before we arrive, there are a few things you can do:

  • Remove wet area rugs.
  • Lift Draperies off the floor.
  • Remove small furnishings and valuables to an unaffected area.
  • Move photos, painting, and art work to a safe, dry area.

Some things not to do:

  • Do not enter a room with standing water until the electricity had been turned off.
  • Do not use a regular household vacuum to remove the water.
  • Do not use electrical appliances while on wet flooring.
  • Do not disturb visible mold.
  • Do not remove books from the shelf- instead pack them tightly to prevent warping.

Fire Damage

A few helpful points after the fire is out…

We recommend that owners contact their insurance agency immediately once the fire is out. If you rent, notify the owner so both of you can assess the damage. Most insurance companies will require your Fire restoration, cleaning or smoke removal Company to be certified with the IICRC like ServiceMaster.

Remember:

  • Do not use electrical appliances affected by fire damage.
  • Do not attempt to clean the walls, incorrect cleaning could worsen the soot damage.
  • Do not eat any open food items affected by the fire.
  • Do not touch the walls, upholstery or woodwork. Body oils can cause permanent damage.
  • Do not attempt to clean the carpeted floors.

  • These folks, lead from the front by owner Chris Scribner can be summed up in 3 words.....Integrity, Integrity, Integrity

  • Chris and his team go above and beyond to please their customers and to do the job right. I had a fire and they managed to clean everything up, box it, & put it back in original place. All without breaking anything! That was amazing because I have lots of small, fragile items. His team even consoled my family over lost items. I couldn't have asked for better service or people! Thanks again Chris!

  • Chris and his team at Servicemaster Tupelo, MS are an outstanding example of what true customer service is and ought to be. During our family's unfortunate fire back in 2013 Chris and his team were quick on the scene to clean and restore our damaged property. Chris's team was always courteous and professional and Chris kept us in the loop about the restoration work the whole way through. He and his team went above and beyond at every step including offering to store some of our furniture until we were able to get them back to our property. We are so grateful to have Chris and his SM team here in Tupelo and recommend his business to anyone needing disaster clean-up. Thank you Chris!
