Simple Management of Insurance Claims | SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton

SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton is Here to Help® with your business' disaster recovery!
There are so many things that will go through your mind after a disaster strikes. The safety of your friends and family is likely the first thing you will think about—followed by concerns of how much damage may have been done to your home.
As you begin to put the pieces of everything that has happened together, filing an insurance claim may not fit into your puzzle for a while. Safety will always be the first thing on everyone’s mind, but the faster you can start the recovery process, the easier getting back to normal life will be.
That is one of the reasons that our team is ready to respond around the clock. We will make the road to recovery smooth, tackling every bump along the way. That includes working directly with your insurance company, so that you can take care of your loved ones.
Start Fast, Document OftenIn every kind of disaster, timing matters. The faster you can start thinking through recovery and restoration, the less damage will add up over time. Safety should always be your No. 1 priority, though—if you have sheltered in place or evacuated, don’t head out until an all-clear has been given. When you do start to assess the damage, stay out of floodwaters, away from power lines that have fallen and as far from fire damage as you can.
Check in with loved ones and neighbors first to ensure immediate help isn’t required. If you can safely do so, clear the roads so that emergency vehicles can navigate easily. As soon as you know everyone is OK, call us at SERVPRO® so that we can get your restoration underway. We will take a lot of information over the phone so that we can get a team on the road with the equipment and manpower needed.
The more you can document what has happened to your property, the better. Take photos of everything. While it is best to wait on our professionals before any recovery is started, if there is something you can correct to prevent more damage, do so.
Shut off actively flowing water or pull the big limbs from your driveway—just make sure you make a note of what happened and how you fixed it. The more documentation you have, the easier your insurance claim process will be.
Leave It to Our TeamWhen our team makes it to your property, sealing things up so that other damage can’t strike will be our first priority. While we make sure your roof is covered and broken windows are handled, we will also begin documenting everything that will be required in order to make your home as good as new. Our professionals have had extensive training on everything that is required by insurance for a fast and easy claim process.
While we work, we will build an itemized list of all your losses, and add more photos to anything you took immediately after the disaster. All of the work that our crew does will meet insurance inspection standards, and we will repair everything we possibly can so that you have less to replace later. With every restoration project we do, it is our goal to keep your costs low and the insurance process simple.
Put your recovery into the hands of our team, and we will get your life put back together quickly. While we work with you, we will make sure your insurance claim process is easy and your total losses are low. Since we are experienced in so many different areas of disaster recovery and cleanup, it only takes a single call to get everything back to normal.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.

SERVPRO Has the Restoration Experts You Need | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton

SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton is your local restoration expert. We are the #1 choice in cleanup and restoration.
SERVPRO is much more than your neighborhood restoration partner. When disaster strikes, we’re here to help.
It is easy to get overwhelmed when floods, water damage or fire spread in a home or business. But SERVPRO does not let you deal with it alone.
Our experts can restore your space to preloss condition in record time. Here’s how we do it:
Water DamageNo flood is a joke, no matter how small. In fact, quite the opposite. Regardless of their size, floods can cause serious damage to your property. To put it in perspective, floods cause more than $10 billion in damages nationwide every year.
Claxton witnessed major road flooding in 2021 due to rising rivers caused by heavy rainfall. These circumstances are more common in the areas that are close to the water or not much above sea level, but can happen anywhere.
Naturally, this has to worry any home or business owner. Given that flooding happens pretty frequently, it will most likely happen during your lifetime. But there is no reason to panic, as we will not only help you repair the damages, but will also educate you about the gravity of the situation, so that you can make the best decision for how to restore your property.
With our tools, we detect hidden moisture that can cause mold and cracks. Once we discover all the potential dangers, we can then develop the restoration plan that best serves your needs.
Fire DamageIt might shock you to know that a U.S. fire department responds to a fire every 23 seconds, and there was an estimated $8.1 billion in direct property damage and losses nationwide in 2020.
If your home or business has experienced fire damage, we will not wait to get you back on track with our seven-step restoration. We will first inspect your property, do an assessment of it and then determine how to move forward with restorations.
Storm DamageStorms bring about many natural disasters from wildfires to hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards. There is no escaping storm damage, but we know how to navigate it and remove its traces.
Storm and water damage can go beyond property damage and damage or destroy your personal belongings, too. In these cases, we apply content restoration, believing that there is no need to replace what can be restored.
Some of our many services include dry cleaning, wet cleaning, foam cleansing and abrasive cleaning. If your require a deep-clean, we do that too by offering move-out services, so we can bring your home back to preloss condition in minimum time.
What Sets SERVPRO Apart?We’re not just here for you, we’re here for you 24⁄7. Since natural disasters have no set schedule, neither do we. Available all day every day, we can be reached via our 24⁄7 Emergency Line.

If the day comes where your business is hit with disaster or emergency, you can rest assured SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton will be there to help.
You’ve got a lot on your plate. Starting and running a business is not only a full-time job, it’s more like an overtime job.

One thing you might not be prepared for is the event of a disaster striking your beloved business. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, and we want to help you be prepared in case the worst happens.
When a flood, fire, storm or heaven forbid, another pandemic comes knocking at your business’ door, it can be difficult to open back up. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses have to shut down permanently after a disaster, and a quarter of those that do have the ability to open back up actually have shut their doors for good in under a year.
So what can you do to give yourself a fighting chance against disaster? The answer isn’t as complicated as you might think. The answer is to have a plan!
In the U.S., three-fourths of small businesses don’t have any disaster plan in place. We want to help your business have the best chance of a comeback when a disaster strikes.
SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton can help you prepare by developing a personalized Emergency Ready Plan specifically for your business. We assess your concerns regarding your specific location and industry.
With our Emergency Ready Plan, we’ll cover everything together from a tornado to data recovery, just in case the worst happens to your business—you don’t have to wonder what to do.
Don’t make reopening after a disaster any more difficult than it already would be. SERVPRO can help you build your Emergency Ready Plan. It could be the difference between your business surviving or closing for good.
When your business is ready to prioritize planning and safety to prevent extended downtime, contact SERVPRO to get the Emergency Ready Plan underway from the folks who know all there is to know about disaster and recovery.

The thing is, we want you to know everything we do, because it may be helpful to you one day. So let’s talk turkey and get specific today, because there are more ways SERVPRO can help you than you’d imagine.
Water damage recovery. If you know us for one specific thing, this may be it. Homes take on water damage from sources as varied as flooding, groundwater or washing machine hoses, and we’ve spent more than 50 years helping homeowners recover from it all.
Fire damage recovery. There’s another home fire every 23 seconds in the U.S., and while that’s less frequent than in decades past, that’s still a lot of fires. We help homeowners all over the country get past the damage caused by these fires.
Mold removal. Mold can cause health effects or even threaten the structure of your home as it degrades materials. We can get rid of it fully and safely.
Storm recovery. Destructive storms are a reality of living in the United States, and we help homeowners bounce back after tornadoes, thunderstorms or other weather events cause damage great and small.
Commercial needs. We offer all these helps and more to business owners and commercial enterprises of every kind, from offices to business parks, classrooms to casinos.
General cleaning. The carpet doesn’t have to be soaked for you to call SERVPRO—maybe it’s simply in need of a good scrub. We can take care of all your cleaning needs, from flooring to furniture and more.
Specialty cleaning. We can clean up graffiti sites in public areas, restore documents for businesses and offer a variety of non-traditional cleaning services. If you can think it, we can clean it.
Construction. Sometimes you need more than cleaning. When storms, fires or water cause large-scale damage, we can be your one-call solution for total reconstruction, or even for a remodel project you’ve been planning.
Add 24-hour service and an easy insurance process to all this, and the picture becomes clear—when you need cleanup and recovery of any kind, you can trust SERVPRO to get the job done.

Services Provided to Restaurants
5/5/2021 (Permalink)
Restaurants are some of the most commonly flooded businesses in America, as they are prone to some risk factors that can lead to significant water and flood damage year-round. Many restaurants that are located near rivers, creeks, lakes, or shores, making them vulnerable to heavy rainfalls which cause banks to overflow. Restaurants also have high amounts of water usage as compared to other businesses, which can lead to more interior and clear water flooding than in other commercial establishments. Fortunately, SERVPRO knows how to get a restaurant's doors back open as quickly as possible after these damages, through a few key services.
Inventory and Stock Management
One of the most difficult tasks to accomplish alone after commercial water damage is to take inventory of what has been lost, damaged, or left alone in the building. Everything from furniture to valuable kitchen equipment to food stock can be accounted for and should be, for insurance purposes. SERVPRO can help you to keep track of your losses and get proper repayment from an insurer after the event is said and done.
Rapid Restoration Services
We have access to a wide variety of powerful tools and machines to help accelerate the process of water removal and restoration, including high-powered air movers, water extractors, deodorizing foggers, UV sanitizers, and more. When used strategically, these machines help businesses to open doors quicker than expected after even the worst water damage.

We strive to ensure that a restaurant owner understands the process of restoration and can talk to our teams and representatives.

Emergency Tips
2/16/2021 (Permalink)
If you have ever had a weather-related emergency, such as a flood, pipe burst, septic tank overflow you may have experienced the frustration of calling for help only to find you would be put on a list and gotten to when that person has a free moment. If you have not had a weather or event related issue at your home or business, yay for you! If you ever do have an emergency, here’s a few things to keep in mind:
- Everyone you reach out to, whether a plumber or SERVPRO wants to help you and as quickly as possible.
- When an area is affected, whether by a microburst, hurricane or deep freeze, the damage is common. In other words, if your pipes freeze when the temperature drops from 40 to 7 over a 24 hour period, the same thing is happening to your neighbors.
- Immediate response resources in an area are always limited. Your plumber of 15 years cannot hire additional crews overnight, as much as he would like to.
So when this occurs, it pays to Go Big.
At SERVPRO of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton, our first question is always: Is the source fixed or do you need help fixing the source? No job is to big or small for our crew of certified and highly trained experts! When it comes to your property, home, or business you can depend on SERVPRO to get the job done and done right! We have the resources for all trades and labor and can properly and efficiently handle any job no matter the size!

We Can Handle Multiple Types of Restoration for Your Home or Business | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton

If you have damage to your home or business, finding a restoration company as quickly as possible is probably at the forefront of your mind. While it is understandable that you will want to make a fast decision, you should also make sure that you are making the best decision for your needs.
After a fire, flood or storm, there is often more than one type of damage present that your restoration crew will have to contend with. That is why we always recommend working with a company that is a leader in all types of damage restoration and follows the guidelines of the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification so you can be sure that no matter the situation, your damage will be restored to its previous condition.
Here are the types of damages we handle:
Residential and Commercial Fire Damage
Fire damage can be nuanced and there are no two situations that are identical. After a fire, you will typically experience damage from smoke, soot and charring, but you will also often have to
contend with water damage from the fire being extinguished and even some reconstruction if the fire has compromised the structural integrity of your home or business. The good news is, we can handle all of this from start to finish so you can be certain your damage is taken care of.
Residential and Commercial Water Damage
Water damage can come from a variety of places, such as a clogged drain, a burst pipe or a weather event. When we are called to the scene of water damage, we can quickly evaluate the extent of the damage and what classification of water is present, and then move in our commercial dryers and dehumidifiers in to get the moisture out.
Residential and Commercial Storm Damage
Storms can be terrifying events and cause extensive damage to your home through various means. Water damage, wind damage, hail damage and even fires can be common after storms—but because we can handle all of these things at one time, you can count on us to quickly and comprehensively respond to your storm damage and begin taking action.
If your home or business has been impacted by fire, water or storm damage, you can count on us to handle it all! Contact us today to learn more.

Why We Always Emphasize Our Quick Response Time | SERVPRO® of Dublin/Vidalia/Claxton
When you are considering what restoration company to work with to handle damage to your
home or business, there are quite a few things to consider—but we think one of the most
important things is a quick response time.
Whether you are dealing with fire, water or some other type of restoration work, we guarantee a
quick response time because it is so important to the overall restoration of your property.
Why a Quick Response Time Matters for Fire Damage
Even if you were not home during the fire, sustaining fire damage is a traumatic event. Not only do you have to deal with the charring from the flames, the buildup of the soot and the odor from the smoke, but there can also be significant water damage if sprinkler systems were activated or water was used to extinguish the flames. All of these things can work together to create a truly
dangerous environment, between the health issues that smoke and soot can cause and the
structural dangers that charring and water damage can lead to. To ensure the safety of you and your household, we will respond quickly to fire damage every time.
Why a Quick Response Time Matters for Water Damage
While the peace of mind is important when it comes to the aftermath of water damage, a quick
response is about even more than that for us. Water damage can worsen as it is left to sit,
seeping into the structure of the impacted area and giving rise to the dangerous growth of mold
and mildew. By responding to water damage quickly, we eliminate the need for concern
regarding these elements and can instead move in quickly and secure the area so you know it is
safe.
Why a Quick Response Time Matters for All Other Restoration
Regardless of what type of damage we are talking about, knowing that you can count on your
restoration company to quickly come to your aid is a great way to achieve peace of mind. You
will never be left wondering what comes next or waiting hopelessly for a slow response team

Emergency Tips

If you have ever had a weather-related emergency, such as a flood, pipe burst, septic tank overflow you may have experienced the frustration of calling for help only to find you would be put on a list and gotten to when that person has a free moment. If you have not had a weather or event related issue at your home or business, yay for you! If you ever do have an emergency, here’s a few things to keep in mind:
- Everyone you reach out to, whether a plumber or SERVPRO wants to help you and as quickly as possible.
- When an area is affected, whether by a microburst, hurricane or deep freeze, the damage is common. In other words, if your pipes freeze when the temperature drops from 40 to 7 over a 24 hour period, the same thing is happening to your neighbors.
- Immediate response resources in an area are always limited. Your plumber of 15 years cannot hire additional crews overnight, as much as he would like to.
So when this occurs, it pays to Go Big.
