All the Places Water Damage Can Hide in Your Home | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
5/9/2023 (Permalink)
Think you may have water damage in your home? Here are some tips from SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton to find the source.
Water is powerful, and when it flows into the wrong places, it can do damage that goes deep and widespread quickly. Unfortunately, there are lots of places in your home that water damage can hide out, meaning you could be looking at costly repairs when you do find it.
Getting to know where water damage likes to play hide and seek in your home can help you prevent extensive damage and stop other issues like mold before structural problems set in. By adding checking some of the most water-prone locations to your regular maintenance routines, you can win the game and protect your home.
Get familiar with these three areas as a start:
The roof of your home. When water damage starts on the roof, it often starts small and slow. There are a lot of ways water can seep in with the various nooks and crannies, which can make it very hard to detect when there is a problem.
Living in this part of Georgia gives us an advantage, though, as the weather stays generally mild in the fall and spring. Use this time to get on your roof and check for missing shingles, loose spots and blocked gutters. We get a lot of rain in these seasons as well, so make sure to keep a close eye on things after big storms, too.
When your roof leaks, it can lead to damage on every level of your home and create a moist environment in your attic that is perfect for mold growth. With our humid environment, it is even more important to check often for damp spots and replace insulation as needed.
Bathrooms. It should come as no surprise that your bathroom is a common spot for water damage, but it often goes unnoticed because of how often water is present in the bathroom anyways.
Look under the sink for signs of drips or puddles, and make sure the tub and sink faucet turn off completely. Check around your toilet base weekly for moisture, and do the same around the tub.
Your bathroom should dry out completely after every use, so if it consistently feels or smells damp, there could be a bigger problem. Make sure your drains empty quickly, and always run an exhaust fan to help remove water.
Appliances with water lines. Any appliance that has a water line can leak, and these leaks can be particularly challenging to find. More often than not, leaks occur under or behind the appliance, which means heavy damages can set in before you ever find it.
Pull your large appliances, including your washing machine, dishwasher and refrigerator, out and away from the wall one or two times a year. Clean under and behind them, and feel for damp, soft spots in the floor. Look for signs of mold growth as another indicator that your water line is having issues.
Watch for signs of problems when you use them as well. If you hear dripping, or water is running slower than usual, it could be worth investigating to ensure there isn’t a leak. Replace your appliances periodically to prevent problems before they start, and call SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton as soon as you do find damage.

Learn Weather Alerts and Stay Safe | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
7/12/2022 (Permalink)
If you suspect any damage to your home from a recent storm, call SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton’s.
When it comes to severe weather, there are at least 42 different kinds of alerts out of seven different categories. That is an awful lot of information to try and understand, especially as dark clouds and strong winds are blowing in.
When you know what an alert means before it is sent out for our area, it means that you can get to safety quickly. It also means you can take action to protect your home and your loved ones.
Learning how multiple weather systems work is helpful, but understanding what severe weather we have in Georgia is essential in staying safe.
How Alerts Are IssuedWhere are weather alerts sent from? When do forecasts get created, and when they are formed, how is a storm tracked for its duration, severity and location? There is actually a lot of information that goes into answering these questions.
Weather forecasts and alerts that are issued come from the National Weather Service. There are six regional offices and more than 100 forecasting offices all around the nation. That means that our forecast is localized, which allows it to be more accurate. Our forecasts and alerts typically come from the forecasting office located in Peachtree City.
In these offices, meteorologists and other employees with the NWS use several kinds of data in order to build a forecast, including satellite radar, various sensors, seismic activity meters and even solar activity. The type of information used will vary according to the kind of significant weather event moving in, but the end result is to be as accurate as possible.
The Most Important Alerts to UnderstandEven with so many types of weather alerts, it is important for everyone to understand the difference between a watch and a warning. These will be included in almost every form of weather, including winter storms, flooding and thunderstorms.
A watch means you need to begin preparing for an extreme weather situation. Watches are issued for a broad area, while a warning will be issued for a small area such as a county or a city. Warnings mean that an extreme storm will likely happen and safety measures should be taken immediately to protect your property and your loved ones.
Along with these warnings, we need to understand a variety of others to handle the weather we see here in Georgia. While our winters are not often very cold, we do occasionally see some freezing temperatures.
Our spring and summers come with oppressive heat, thunderstorms and tornadoes. Georgia has long ranked as one of the top states for tornadic activity, so understanding tornado watches, warnings and advisories is crucial to protecting our homes.
Protecting Your Home During a StormUnderstanding all kinds of weather alerts before a storm moves in is a great step to protecting your home, but there are some other ways you can mitigate damages as well.
Clean your gutters regularly and secure any loose outdoor objects to avoid flood and wind damage before a storm. Create a location in your home with supplies for your family to shelter in place, and practice an exit plan for when you need to get out.
Once the storm is gone, take note of any damages you have received, and call us at SERVPRO. We are available 24⁄7 to save as much of your home as possible.
Learn about southern Georgia weather and stay safe in any storm. Take the time to make yourself aware of the different alerts that can be issued and handle the next storm safely.

Steps to Prevent Home Fires | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
6/6/2022 (Permalink)
If your home is damaged in a house fire, SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton is here to help. Contact us for any fire restoration needs.
Working smoke detectors were present in the homes of 74% of house fires between the years 2015 and 2019, speaking for the vast use of fire alarm home systems across the United States.
While smoke detectors remain the most effective tactic to avoid fire-related deaths and property damage, there are various other precautions you can take, the bulk of which are as simple as cleaning your home:
Clear Your Home of ClutterOur homes are vulnerable to clutter. When it comes to fire prevention, clothing, spare blankets and other textiles left unattended in corridors and storage rooms are very risky.
If you keep clothing near gas tanks or water heaters, you can easily start a fire. To avoid dangers in case you ever need to leave your house quickly due to a fire, it’s a good idea to leave open, clean pathways. That way, if a fire does happen, it will progress less quickly due to having less-flammable materials in its path.
Lastly, ensure there is space in between wall outlets and rugs, lamps or furniture to avoid creating a fire hazard.
Protect the Outside of Your HouseThere are several techniques to make your home’s exterior more fire-resistant. You can create a path for firemen to enter your home more efficiently in the case of a fire by using strategic landscaping tactics and take steps to limit the risk of fire spreading to your house.
It is suggested that you retain at least 30 feet of defensible space outside your home at all times, and that you replace flammable materials with more adequate materials such as cement, brick and gravel. Also, remove any waste material that may block the path, such as leaves or dry grass.
Watch for HazardsHome fires resulting from cooking are very common in Georgia, so remember to always double-check your appliances, stove top and oven before leaving the kitchen unattended.
Burning candles left alone are another of the most commonly reported sources of home fires. Before leaving a room or leaving your house, it is essential to always double-check burning candles and fragrance sticks.
These easy actions can make a dramatic contribution to decreasing your fire risk and maintain that you are adequately equipped in the event of a home fire.
We spend a lot of our time inside our homes, spending time maintaining our properties and building memories within its walls. To avoid a fire, it is also critical that we make sure to keep our homes clean and take the time to remove hazards, and keep our families safe.

Commercial Systems Prone to Water Damage: SERVPRO of Dublin/Claxton/Vidalia
4/29/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Dublin/Claxton/Vidalia is ready for whatever happens! We'll restore your business after any size of property damage.
Commercial properties present unique risks when it comes to water damage. Unlike residential homes, which are usually one story and have easily accessible crawl spaces and attics, commercial buildings can be many stories high with flat roofs and multiple storefront windows. They also often have expensive specialized equipment that can be very costly to repair or replace if damaged by water. In this blog post, we will discuss the different parts of a commercial building that are at risk for water damage, as well as some tips on how to prevent it.
Plumbing Systems
The first and most obvious risk for water damage in a commercial property is the plumbing system. Because commercial buildings have more bathrooms, kitchens, and other water-using fixtures, they also have larger and more complex plumbing systems. These systems are often located in hard-to-reach places, making them difficult to repair if they spring a leak.
One of the main water damage challenges according to The Hartford Insurance is an improperly maintained sprinkler system. By law, most commercial buildings must have a fire sprinkler system, but many building owners forget to regularly maintain and test these systems. While a well-maintained fire sprinkler system can help prevent extensive fire damage in the event of a fire, improper maintenance or disaster planning can cause extensive water damage that can flood multiple floors.
Another plumbing risk is burst pipes. Commercial buildings, especially high rises tend to run at a higher pressure than residential buildings. Therefore, a burst pipe has the potential to release significantly more water than a home.
One of the ways in which we help commercial property owners prevent catastrophic property damage before it happens is through our app-based Emergency Response Planning program (ERP).
Roofing Systems
In addition to the plumbing system, there are a number of exterior commercial building components that can experience water damage. One of the most common is the flat roof. Because flat roofs are not sloped like traditional pitched roofs, they tend to pool water instead of shedding it. This can lead to leaks and eventually, if left unaddressed, major water damage.
Some common commercial roofing systems include:
- Built-up Roofing (BUR): Often called tar and gravel roofs, these commercial roofing systems are built with a semi-continuous membrane installed in layers, then covered in aggregate. While they are usually simple to maintain, best practices suggest inspecting the roof for deterioration and possible leak points at least twice yearly.
- Thermoplastic Single-Ply Membrane Roofing (PVC & TPO): These roofs are installed in large rolls that are then welded together at the seams with heat. The material is very durable and oil-resistant. However, the heat-welding methods require skilled installation, which can lead to weak points and leak-prone areas if not performed correctly.
- EPDM Roofing: Some roofers call these "rubber roofs" because the material they are made of, ethylene propylene diene monomer is very rubber-like. This kind of roof is derived from oil and natural gas, and appears dark gray or black. When installed correctly and with the highest thickness available, this type of commercial roof will last a very long time with little to no issues. Unless you experience storm damage in your area, an annual check for leaks around the roof penetrations should suffice.
Window Systems
Commercial window systems are built for durability and use, however, they can often present a unique water damage challenge for commercial facilities. Most aluminum glazing systems aren't intended to be 100% waterproof. Most commercial window systems are meant to limit water penetration during extreme circumstances while also weeping water back out to the exterior.
By directing all moisture to the sill flashing, storefront systems limit water penetration. It's critical that the sill flashing be installed correctly in order to avoid water damage. Making sure that sealant is put on the top of the rear leg before installing the sill is one of the most important aspects of a good installation.
The most essential aspect of maintaining water penetration with a storefront is end dam fastening and sealing. Water will enter the building through the jamb locations if end dams are not properly fastened and sealed. Improperly (or missing) end dams can cause significant water damage to the interior drywall or flooring around commercial storefront windows.
Like anything else in a building, time and the elements can cause wear and tear and failure of these commercial window water control systems.
Commercial Water Damage Inspection Services
So if you notice moisture or water damage around your storefront windows, you should consider calling SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton to inspect for potential water damage issues. Our technicians are trained to identify, troubleshoot, and restore all types of commercial water issues.

Tips to Stay Safe during Fire Damage: SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
3/29/2022 (Permalink)
No matter how serious your property damage may be, SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton is your local expert for restoring your home or business.
It's that time of year again - fire season in Dublin, GA, and surrounding areas. Between February and May, the weather gets hotter and drier, while the risk of house fires rises. A fire may start from a variety of sources, ranging from a faulty wire to an overloaded outlet to a kitchen mishap to a bonfire left unattended. It's critical to know how to react quickly and effectively if your home catches fire.
Here's What You Need To Know If A Fire Starts:
The first line of defense against a house fire is to know how to use the proper fire extinguisher for the situation. This simple procedure can help save lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage. If the fire spreads uncontrollably, evacuate immediately and stay away, then call 9-1-1. Leave all of your belongings where they are and save yourself and your loved ones.
If your clothing ignites, remember the old adage: Stop, Drop, and Roll.
It's critical to utilize the stairs if you live in a building with elevators in case of a fire. The elevator electrical system may be damaged by a fire, causing the shaft to operate like a chimney and rapidly fill up with deadly fumes.
Doors may be used to your advantage in a fire, potentially saving your life. If the doorknob or handle is hot, don't open it. If you can't exit through the primary route, look for another option. Do not open any doors that are warm to the touch.
Close any doors that might obstruct your exits, lay a wet towel beneath the doors, and call the fire department or 9-1-1 if flames, heat, or fire block your avenues of escape. Tell them exactly where you are so they can find you.
If you're near a window that you can't use as an escape, open it and wave a brightly colored cloth or use your phone flashlight to signal for help.
What To Do After a Fire
After a fire, it is important to contact a professional fire damage restoration company like SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton. We have the training, experience, and equipment to properly restore your home - "Like it never even happened."
If you try to clean up the fire damage yourself, you could end up making the situation worse both in your home and with your insurance company's process.

Spring Weather Hazards in Georgia | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
3/7/2022 (Permalink)
Extreme temperature changes can lead to severe weather. SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton is a click away if you experience any damage.
The United States is one of the world’s largest countries, second only to Russia and Canada in terms of total land area (though China is larger if all outlying US territories are excluded).
Seasonal weather isn’t one-size-fits all in a country with such a large and diverse territory under one umbrella—various parts of the nation experience distinct weather patterns, and hence face weather threats of differing degrees throughout the course of the year.
As spring approaches and warm and cold air masses meet throughout the country, let’s take a look at what different weather events to anticipate in some of the main regions, as well as what we need to be aware of here in Georgia.
During the spring months, the Pacific Northwest is prone to severe rain, which may bring floods and water damage to homeowners. Snow will continue fall at higher altitudes, and the melting and runoff from that will bring issues of its own.
The Upper Midwest and Northeast have the longest winters to face as cold weather will stick around for the whole season. Extreme cold and the threat of snowstorms and blizzards may be expected stretching from Maine to the Dakotas until late spring or perhaps early summer, when temperatures begin to rise.
On the other hand, the southern West Coast will have to watch out for excessive heat waves that could endanger lives and safety, and the South Pacific, including Hawaii, will be on the lookout for possible tsunamis caused by tectonic activity.
Windstorms, derechos and the possibility of wildfires will be a concern for the center of the nation, from Iowa to Texas. Wildfires can readily spread when winds are strong and seasons are dry. And, of course, part of this region is Tornado Alley, which has a high frequency of tornadoes.
Finally, extreme weather is possible in the Southeast, including here in Georgia, ranging from tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in landlocked states to hazardous rip currents on the coast and hurricanes in the spring. Thunderstorms are common in Georgia, particularly in the spring and summer months. Oftentimes, remnants of tropical storms coming in from coastal states can also cause severe flooding.
Extreme weather is a considerable hazard in the United States, regardless of where you live. Yours may differ from your friend’s a few states away, but knowing how to be prepared is always a good idea.
If extreme weather leaves you with damage from water, fire or other elements, help is a click away. Contact SERVPRO for fast, expert recovery.
