Mold Damage in your Richmond Bathroom

How to prevent mold damage in your Richmond bathroom?

How do you prevent mold in your Richmond home?

The mold monster can reach any part of your home, but a lot of the time mold is most prevalent in your bathroom. Mold grows more frequently when water damage has occurred. The best way to lower the risk of mold damage in your home is to follow some rules. Below, we give you a few tips to consider for your home:

Fix a Leak: You want to try to take preventable measures before water damage sets in. Leaks are a top way for mold growth. If you fix the leak sooner rather than later, it is less likely for mold to start growing. 

Run Bathroom Fans: Water in your bathroom can create a humid environment. Humidity creates water damage, which creates mold growth. The best way to keep this to a minimum is to run the bathroom fan. Also, keep the vents cleaned so that air can flow and dry the area more quickly.

Be Weary of Water: Water accumulation in your bathroom is the top way that mold can grow. Look for water in your bathroom and make sure to get it dry as soon as possible. Water can get around the toilet, under the sink, and next to the shower. You want to check these spots more carefully and closely. 

When mold or water damage occurs in your home, you know who to call: SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties is here to help!

The one-stop-shop for your Richmond home! 

When you have water or fire damage in your home, there can be a variety of factors that give you a wait time as a homeowner. One of those is after the cleanup of your Richmond home begins, you may have to wait on restoration to begin. With SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties -- the wait is over. We have cleaning, restoration, and construction all under one roof. There are key advantages to this when it comes to getting your home back to "Like it never even happened." 

• In-office billing

There's a wait time when it comes to getting bids. Sometimes it can take weeks or months. With it all under one roof, you can get the bid before the mitigation or cleaning of the fire damage is even complete. When you have one company for it all, we can work together to better assist our customers and at a more efficient rate. 

• Better Communication 

This brings us to our next reasoning, communication. When you have multiple companies, sometimes competitors, it can create a mess at the scene of your home. Both companies try to work in and out and communicate with each other when one is done and when the other will finish. This can create a mess for you as the homeowner. With one company, all the communication is in-house, which will give you less of a headache when trying to find out information on your home completion. 

• Shorter Wait 

With two companies working alongside each other or having to wait until the other is done, it can create a huge amount of time before your project is done. Then the assessment process starts over again. When one company handles all of the cleaning, restoration, and construction-- it will most likely be a more efficient timetable.

All in all, using one company for your home damages, is better for you as the customer. We strive to make your experience the best we can during such a stressful time. Let us help you, by having bids in one office, better communication, and a shorter wait time. We hope you do not need us again after the damages to your home, but if you do, we want you to remember an easier process that you had to endure.

Listen to your Realtor 

Your realtors are professionals themselves, so when they say to hire a professional--it is always good to listen.

They noticed there were marks on the wall, several stains in carpets, the kitchen needed a big cleaning pick-me-up, and the HVAC system was putting out what smelled like extra dust. 

They called us in because they knew we could handle the job. We made the home "Like it never even happened."

Board-Up for your Richmond Home

10/25/2021 (Permalink)

When a fire occurs in your home, it can create enough damage that it leaves major holes in your walls and ceilings. Not only will it leave it open for further damage but it also could create an alluring opening for criminals. 

The best way to shield your home from secondary damages and criminal activity is to have board-ups and tarps professionally installed around your home. This can also create stability and prevent damages that are not easily seen. 

There are many advantages to getting your Richmond home boarded-up and tarped; so you know for future emergencies remember, it helps insurance, prevents further damages, and keeps your property safe. 

The best thing to do when you have fire damage or emergency damage is to vacate the home until it is said to be safe by an official. These tarps and board-ups can create a stable position for your home until you can return.

SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties is here to help with your board-up and tarps. Trust the professionals to keep your home safe from dangerous elements and other factors.

Having trouble with a drafty house this winter? 

Heating costs can throw a wrench into your winter budget. But you can limit the losses by addressing the gaps, cracks and waste that drive up fuel costs.

Follow these 5 tips to help get your winter budget back on track:

1. Install weatherstripping--Seal a drafty door by installing foam or felt weatherstripping inside the door frame.
2. Install a door sweep--A sweep is a flexible piece of rubber or plastic that's held to the door's lower edge by a strip of aluminum.
3. Seal attic air leaks--Pull back attic insulation to find and seal cutouts in drywall for electrical fixtures, pipes, fans and outlets
4. Use your window coverings: shades and drapes can conserve heat at night.

If you want to take it a step further, add attic insulation.

And replace your furnace filters monthly.

And, lastly --Grab a tube of caulk, a can of spray foam gap-sealer, a pencil and notepad, so you can plug those household leaks on your own.

We hope you have considered these five tips to help make your home more winter friendly. 

Remember, if you need help this winter season with reconstruction needs our team has you covered. We offer financing to help you with your home remodels and construction needs.

Water Damage during Winter Time Equals Frozen Pipes

The winter season is here and it brings all the bad weather with it. Unfortunately, another aspect of cold weather is frozen pipes. 

Frozen pipes can cause more damage in your home than you think. Here are a few tips to get your home ready for frozen pipes this winter: 

1. Check sprinkler and irrigation system and make sure everything is turned off. 

2. Identify your home's freezing points. Check for areas such as crawl spaces, unheated rooms, basements, garages, and exterior walls that would be more prone to freezing. 

3. Know how to shut off your water: Locate the main water shut-off and hang a tag from it. 

4. Strengthen your home by eliminating sources of cold air near water lines. 

5. Protect your pipes: when pipes are exposed make sure to wrap them with insulation or heat tape (even fabric, towels, or newspaper can help)!

This event has over 300 attendees and over 21 breakout sessions, not to mention the hundreds of vendors. We are the only restoration company to attend and we value the time we spend with the best of the best in facilities and education.

This year SERVPRO has partnered with another SERVPRO to bring you games, prizes, and lots of SERVPRO merch. We have spent the last two days teaching all of the superintendents, facilities directors, and other educational staff about what we can help with when it comes to minor and major disasters in the restoration field.

We want our schools to know that if they have a water or fire damages, along with other cleaning needs --we are here to help!

Why SERVPRO?

We have a 1-4-8 rule so that we can get to you sooner!

Many people ask us when we are out on the field: Why SERVPRO? 

We have a lot of aspects that other restoration companies just do not posses.

When it comes to residential: 

We are faster to any size disaster, we have certified trained technicians, we have financing, and we have the ability to work with your insurance company. We put our customers needs first to make sure you get the best service possible. 

Large Loss: 

Because we have over 1,700 franchises we have the ability to handle big jobs. We can pull our resources and get our other SERVPRO friends from all over the country to help us. We also travel to other areas during times of disasters. We want to make our customers disasters at home "Like it never even happened." 

Community Involvement

The winning pumpkin from the Garrard County Fiscal Court Office.

Every year SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties creates a Facebook contest called #SERVPROSpooksItForward. Our clients are offered pumpkins to decorate and we put them on our social media --the pumpkin with the most likes wins!

But, that's not all. 

The winning pumpkin's office not only gets a free lunch, but they get $200 donated on behalf of SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties to the charity of their choice. We have given to animal shelters, children's funds, food banks, and many others over the years. 

This year our winner wanted to donate money to the local park for special needs children to have specialized equipment. 

We love our pumpkin decorating contest and we love giving back to our local communities even more!
