Hiring a water restoration company after a fire can save you time, effort, and potential further damage.
A water restoration company is often necessary after a fire for several reasons:

A water restoration company, such as SERVPRO, has the expertise to assess the extent of the water damage and develop a plan for effective drying and restoration.
- Specialized equipment: Water restoration companies, like us, have access to specialized equipment such as industrial-grade dehumidifiers, high-powered fans, moisture meters, and thermal imaging cameras. These tools are essential for properly drying out the affected areas and preventing secondary damage, such as mold growth.
- Rapid response: Time is critical when dealing with water damage after a fire. A professional restoration company can quickly respond to the situation, minimizing the potential for further damage and reducing the risk of mold and other issues associated with prolonged moisture exposure.
- Mold prevention and remediation: Water damage can create favorable conditions for mold growth.
- Structural integrity assessment: Water can weaken the structural integrity of a building. SERVPRO can inspect the affected areas, identify any structural damage, and provide appropriate recommendations for repairs.
- Health and safety considerations: Water damage can lead to various health and safety hazards, such as electrical risks, contaminated water, or hidden structural damage. A water restoration company is trained to handle these risks safely and can take the necessary precautions to protect the occupants and the restoration workers.
- Insurance documentation and assistance: A reputable water restoration company can assist you with documenting the extent of the water damage and the necessary restoration work for insurance purposes. They can work directly with your insurance company, providing detailed reports and estimates to facilitate the claims process.
Overall, hiring a water restoration company after a fire can save you time, effort, and potential further damage.

Homeowners Insurance Claim: Can I Do the Work Myself?
4/28/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence is Here to Help. We are the true professionals of the county, and we are here to make sure your claim is handled right.
A lot of homeowners, when they see a huge water, fire or mold loss, can become extremely overwhelmed with cost. But if you are not a true professional--- can you do the work yourself? Allow SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties to go over the basics.
While doing the work yourself sounds tempting…there is no guarantee that you will save money. Especially if you happen to make a mistake.
Most insurance companies will allow you to perform the work yourself…but the claim is handled slightly differently than if a professional company does the work. The insurance carrier may want more supervision and contact with you if you choose to perform the work yourself. Value Penguin also points out another problem you may encounter…” another concern is whether it is legal for you to do the repairs at all. Depending on the seriousness of the damage and the laws where you live, you may be required to get a permit from your city or have a license to do the necessary repairs.”
Insurance carriers may also suggest a specific restoration company to use. Understand, as the homeowner, you are entitled to choose any restoration company of your liking. Insurance carriers sometime have relationships with mitigation companies, and they might not be suggesting the company based on your best interests.
Claims adjusters can also have an impact on this decision. A claims adjuster can suggest a mitigation company to the insurance agent. Remember, a claims adjuster’s main job is to validate the claim and mitigate the amount of money paid out. If a claims adjuster knows of a carrier that is habitually more affordable…they may be a deciding factor for their suggestion. Just remember---the homeowner makes the decision and the insurance company must pay for the company the homeowner chooses.
If your Hermitage home has suffered from a fire, water, mold or storm damage claim, SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties is Here to Help. We are the true professionals of the county, and we are here to make sure your claim is handled right. We are detail oriented, help you with your claim from start to finish, and will make it "Like it never even happened." Call us today at (724) 704-8939 or visit our Facebook page for more commonly asked questions. We’re always “Here to Help.”

Is Mold Lingering In My Mercer County Home?
10/19/2020 (Permalink)
Once mold is inside the home, it can grow and attach itself on to pretty much any type of surface.
Did you know your home could have mold even if you have not experienced a water loss? We all know we need to look for mold after our home is exposed to some sort of flooding. However, it does not usually cross a normal homeowner’s mind if it is not so blatantly right in front of their eyes. But how would you even know if your home has it?
Just so you know---even the cleanest of homes have mold. It is impossible to eliminate it in its entirety. Mold can creep into a home just by going outside and walking back in with your shoes on. Once it is inside the home, it can grow and attach itself on to pretty much any type of surface. Especially the more common household items like carpets, walls and clothing.
The rooms in your home that are the most at risk to have mold damage are bathrooms, kitchens and basements since mold is so good at reproducing anywhere there is moisture. According to the Environmental Protection Agency “Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem. If you clean up the mold, but don't fix the water problem, most likely, the mold problem will come back.”
The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria, and Stachybotrys chartarum also known as Black mold. Rest assured--- the CDC says that Black Mold is no more harmful than the other types listed. That’s a relief!
Nevertheless, mold should always be removed from your home no matter what the type. All have a potential to be harmful.
If you’re still not sure and you think you may need a mold test. There is no company better prepared to deal with mold than SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties. We are trained mold damage specialists who get started quickly to get your home or business back to normal, with specific training and certifications to handle your restoration needs. As a locally owned and operated business, SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties is close by and ready to help with your mold-damaged property. Call us today to help at (724) 704-8939.
Best Smart Home Devices
9/15/2020 (Permalink)
Smart home devices tackle more serious tasks like home security. Before purchasing a device, you should look at the reviews and capabilities.
In 2020, the smart home systems are more impressive and expansive than ever. Alexa can add items to your shopping list, you can turn off the lights in your kitchen while you are in the living room, and have a robot vacuum your floors while you are at work.
Although many of those tasks are very convenient, smart home devices can tackle more serious tasks such as home security. Before purchasing a smart home device, you should research the reviews and integrations. Integrations will tell you how many products you can connect your device to and use in conjunction.
For example, Amazon Alexa will connect to smart thermostats like Nest of Ecobee4 and then you will be able to control the thermostat from any room in the house by speaking to Alexa. Alexa can also close your garage door and lock your doors for you when you leave the house. This eliminates the guessing game of “did I close the garage door?”
Phillips Hue lightbulbs allow you to control both the intensity and color of the light. You can create specific color coordinated moods and color coordinated alarms to ensure you can wake up a bright pink bedroom every morning if that is your wish.
As mentioned before, Ecobee4 is a smart thermostat that enables you to control air temperature with voice commands and has its own Amazon speaker. You can control the room you are in, not just the room it is installed in.
Lastly, Netgear Arlo Q is a useful tool for home security. It records high quality video when you are not home and can even produce clear images of people in pitch black darkness. You can set it to record at specific times and offers seven days of video and audio backup for free.
SERVPRO® of Mercer and Lawrence Counties always wants you to stay safe and prepared. We are happy to help and support our local communities. If your home or business incurs water or fire damage, or mold – call our highly trained professionals atSERVPRO® of Mercer and Lawrence Counties.

10 Tips to Prepare for the Fall Season
9/15/2020 (Permalink)
To help keep small issues from turning into bigger disasters, inspect your roof using binoculars, to check for damaged or missing shingles.
Coolers days, crisp air, and changing colors make fall a fan favorite when it comes to the changing seasons in Mercer and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. While you are out leaf peeping, enjoying apple cider and donuts, and picking pumpkins, your home will also need some attention to ensure it's ready for the cold weather on the horizon. The weather can change quickly, and a bit of preparation now could save you from aggregation and costly repairs later.
Below are 10 tips for you to consider when preparing your home for fall.
- Reprogram the thermostat
Keep the house warm when people are active, but do not be afraid to lower the temperature when the family is sleeping or at work/school for the day.
- Remove air conditioner(s)
If you do not have the luxury of central air conditioning, be sure to remove any window units you placed in the windows over the hot summer. This will eliminate the cooler air from entering your home, causing your heating source to work harder.
- Close the pool
If you have a pool and close it when the temperature drops, schedule a service or if you are handy, buy the supplies and do it yourself.
- Clean your furnace and replace the filters
Check your furnace for soot, and pilot light health. This is also a great time to switch out your filters; clean air is important when the house is closed for winter.
- Inspect your fireplace and have it cleaned
If you have a fireplace and plan on using it as the weather turns colder, have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional.
- Insulate your pipes for the winter
As temperatures drop below freezing, standing water in your pipes can start to freeze. By adding foam covers you can help insulate and protect your pipes.
- Clean and prepare your outdoor furniture
Clean and store seasonal outdoor furniture in a safe place. Cover with a tarp to protect it from snow, ice, and cold. If you have removable cushions, consider storing them indoors to help them last longer.
- Check your water heater
Your water heater has a lot of work to do in fall and winter. If you have not inspected your water heater lately, it may be time to clean it out or have it serviced. Overtime, it can get loaded with sediment, or other problems may arise that reduce its efficiency.
- Inspect your rook for leaks
There is nothing worse for a homeowner than a leaking roof. To help keep small issues from turning into bigger disasters, inspect your roof using binoculars, to check for damaged or missing shingles. Also make sure your gutters are flowing freely of sticks and leaves.
- Turn off outdoor faucets and store hoses
Disconnect and drain any outside hoses you have used over the spring/summer to water gardens and lawns. Shut off exterior faucets to help prevent frozen pipes if a deep freeze were to occur in your area.
If you need help preparing your home for fall, do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties! We specialize in repairing and restoring fire and water damage. But we also can clean air ducts, repair roofs, and offer quality construction services.

Your home and/or place of business will always receive our utmost attention and care in your time of need. But what about the personal belongings that are affected by water, fire, smoke or soot?

We are able to lead a coordinated effort with the insurance carrier and the customer to begin the process of making them whole again. As part of our array of restoration services, we don't just pay attention to the structure; we'll also help take care of the contents of your home or business.

Your SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties technician can provide a detailed room-by-room inventory of contents, including digital photographs and bar codes for each item, suitable for filing insurance claims forms and relieving you of this often stressful and time-consuming process.
Move Outs – When the structure has suffered extensive damage, the cleanup and restoration process may need to be facilitated by relocating the contents for cleaning, deodorization and storage while structural repairs are being completed. A supervised moving crew can carefully pack and move the entire contents of your home or office.
Contents Cleaning – All restorable contents in the affected areas will be professionally cleaned and deodorized. This includes area rugs, furniture, draperies and upholstery.
SERVPRO of Mercer and Lawrence Counties technicians begin by carefully inspecting and testing all fabrics in the structure to determine which cleaning methods are most appropriate; we provide wet or dry cleaning methods.
Additionally, all other contents that can be restored, will be cleaned and deodorized to as close to preloss condition as possible; this includes electronics, art, wood furniture, kitchen items, clothing, bedding and much more.

Without addressing the root cause, the mold is likely to return.
