• Maintaining a clean & secure yard

California weather is regularly warm & sunny with very little rain in sight year round. However, for the rainy days that do surface, it is best to stay prepared & make sure home insurance coverage is up to date. Alongside coverage is making sure your home is equipped with functioning drains, seals, & gutters. Keeping a clean yard, roof, and home could be the difference between saving time, money, & life. 

A result of poor maintenance could be water intrusion during a rain storm into your home. To avoid such a disaster keep all gutters, drains, & irrigation systems clean & free of debris that may cause a malfunction or broken materials creating water overflow into your home. Inspecting the roof prior to a rain storm could also prove to be useful to avoid heavy damages. 

In regards to having a clean yard, this can eliminate any items, objects, or tree branches to breach your home and cause a leak into your home. Organizing the yard can also help prevent any hidden cracks, broken seals, or damages to the home that may be a problem during rainy weather.

Water Damage Negligence

6/9/2022 (Permalink)

When leaky water source pipes are not addressed immediately, the damages can be extensive & costly. It is always best to locate & stop the water source to avoid major damages once they have been spotted. Mold infestation, costly extensive damages, or structural problems are a few of the problems that could result from neglecting water leaks.

Mold may grow on walls, clothes, toys, & even electronics. Mold is a type of fungi that may grow indoors or outdoors. Mold spores thrive in moist & warm environments, in which they travel through  air and if contact other similar environments they will begin to spread. By keeping humidity levels low, with the use of a dehumidifier for example, you can prevent or decrease the chances of mold growth in your home or place of business. 

SERVPRO of Carson/West Carson deals with water damages & mold remediations on a regulars basis. Our highly trained technicians are trained and prepared for any size emergency. For any questions, comments, or concerns you may have, feel free to reach us at (310)637-7701. Let us help you make it "Like it never even happened."
