Restoring and Cleaning Contents

6/4/2019 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress, we do so much more than just fire and water restoration. We are known for our quick response times and how well we can restore a home/business after a disaster. What you may not know is that we also clean and restore contents that are in your home or business. Contents are your things that you own inside the home or business. Lets say you have a house fire and only part of the home was affected by the fire but the rest of the home was affected by smoke and soot damages. This is where contents cleaning and restoring would come into play. Contents can include a wide variety of items, such as clothes, pictures, paintings, nick-knacks, etc. Cleaning and restoring these item are the details, that create the prefect that is your home. At SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress, we know this and take pride in it. 

Did You Know About Lead?

Lead paint and lead poisoning as it pertains to old houses, have long been a lightening rod of controversy. Some people fear old homes of having lead paint and have difficulty buying them. Lead paint may not be the national health concern you've been told. For children and pregnant women, even the smallest amount of lead can be dangerous. Recent EPA, CDC rules and regulations concerning lead paint are completely unwanted and accomplish nothing , but increased cost for home owners. If your home was built before 1978,  there is a good chance it has lead base paint. SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress is very careful to follow the complex array of rules laid out in the Era's renovation, repair and painting act or (RRP), that went into effect in April 2010. Determine if your family is at risk for lead poisoning with the lead poisoning checklist. Be aware that a older home is more likely to have lead paint. 

When Water met Wood

6/7/2018 (Permalink)

Water and wood don't mix. This is abundantly clear if you've been following the aftermath of hurricane Harvey. When water sits on top of hardwood floors it can permanently ruin the hardwood, as the wood will absorb the water through It's pores causing warping and discoloration. So if you have water damaged floors or even just a spill, you'll want to remove the water and dry your floors as quickly as possible. Speed is the key. The first 24 hours are critical and the longer the wood is in contact with water, the worst the damage could be. When water is removed from hardwood floors and properly dried you may be able to save the wood. Most likely you will need to sand and refinish the wood afterwards. SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress will help you avoid the cost and hassle of ripping up and hauling away the hardwood, as well as paying for new wood and installation. Refinishing hardwood is less expensive vs replacing it.
