Water Damage in Valdosta - SERVPRO is Here to Help

1/10/2023 (Permalink)

There are two primary categories of water damage. The most common water damage issues are caused by plumbing and appliance issues, and less common are weather related events such as rain, and storms. The kind of water that leaks into your home is important to understand when assessing water damage and the expense.


The three types of contaminated water:


Category 1: "Clean Water"


Category 1 water is from a clean source like a broken water supply line or leaking faucet.

If not treated quickly, this water can turn into category 2 or 3, depending on length of time, temperature, and contact with surrounding contaminants.

Water from a clean source like a broken water line.


If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3.


Category 2: "Gray Water"


Category 2 water is contaminated and could cause discomfort or illness.

Examples include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

May contain bacteria and viruses.


Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated


Category 3: "Black Water"


Category 3 water is grossly contaminated and could cause severe illness or death if ingested and any contact should be avoided.

Examples include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes.


Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup.

SERVPRO of Valdosta is available 24 hours a day for water emergencies, large or small. When you are dealing with water damage, immediate action is critical. A delay of just a few hours can greatly increase the severity of the water damage.

Nationwide, household water damage costs up to $20 billion annually. Water leaks are a major problem in many homes, usually the homeowner isn't aware until costly damage has been done.

Homes continue to deteriorate when water damage is left untreated. In addition to ceiling, walls and flooring being saturated and ruined, there is the issue of mold. If you see visible mold, do not disturb it. You can inadvertently spread the mold infestation throughout your home.

Home Fires in Valdosta

1/4/2023 (Permalink)

Residential fires cause serious injuries and damage each year in Georgia. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency has four helpful facts that are important to understand about fire:

Fire is fast – In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire, and thick, black smoke can fill a house in minutes.

Fire is hot – In fact, heat is more threatening than flames. Inhaling super-hot air will scorch your lungs and the heat can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it ignites at once: this is called flashover.

Fire is dark – Fire isn’t bright, it’s pitch black. Fire starts bright, but quickly produces black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, disoriented and unable to find your way around the home you’ve lived in for years.

Fire is deadly – Fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you drowsy, disoriented and short of breath. The odorless, colorless fumes can lull you into a deep sleep before the flames reach your door.

In addition to prevention and fast first responder response, what you do after the fire is also important. SERVPRO of Valdosta is here and ready to help you and your family after a fire in your home or business.

Be Thankful Without the Fire

9/16/2022 (Permalink)

Thanksgiving is the nation’s leading day for cooking fires.  
According to the National Fire Protection Association, the number of cooking fires on Thanksgiving is three times as high as on any other day of the year. In addition to the hazards posed by stovetops, turkey fryers and candles contribute to the elevated fire risk.
When following a few basic precautions, preventing a cooking fire is simple.  
Clean your stove and oven. Remove food and grease buildup from burners, stovetop and oven. Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop. Stay in the home when cooking a turkey, set a timer, and check on it frequently. Keep children away from the stove. Have a flame-resistant oven mitt, potholder or lid nearby to smother any flames. If you have an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the oven door closed. Check to make sure your smoke alarms are working properly and have an escape plan that the entire family knows if there is a fire.

Why Trust The Pro's at SERVPRO

9/1/2022 (Permalink)

If you have water damage in your home, it’s important that you hire professionals that are certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to handle the cleanup job. These technicians have been trained to handle the cleanup and restoration process so that the damage caused is kept to a minimum. However, before the professionals arrive, there are some things that you can do to begin the process.

Why Homes Are Sensitive to Water Damage

When the water that’s collected in your home recedes, the moisture from the damage is difficult to detect. This is the main reason why homes are sensitive to water damage. Microbial growth can begin within 24 hours of the damage due to standing water and can saturate different types of textiles and can seep through your drywall. The moisture has the ability to collect behind walls and create troublesome mold and bacteria out of the sight of occupants. If you react quickly, you may be able to save items such as clothes and furniture. But make sure to be very careful when entering a building that has recently been flooded. Any exposure to wildlife and contaminated water that may have accompanied the flooding could result in serious injury.
