Call and Plan an ERP For Your Commercial Building

9/3/2022 (Permalink)

The Best Way to Reduce Business Interruption Following a Disaster is to Plan For it NOW. As many as 50% of businesses may never recover following a disaster, according to the latest industry research. Of the businesses that survive, the overwhelming majority of them had a preparedness plan in place. Pre-planning can serve as an insurance policy aimed at peace of mind. By developing a SERVPRO® Emergency READY Profile for your business, you minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action. Knowing what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

This is what is covered in our Emergency Ready Program (ERP)

• A no-cost assessment of your facility 
• A concise Profile Document that contains only critical information needed in the event of an emergency
• A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster
• Establishes your local SERVPRO® Franchise Professional as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider
• Identification of the line of command for authorizing work to begin
• SERVPRO® is a sponsor of the American Red Cross Ready Rating™ Program
• Provides Facility details such as shut-off valve locations, priority area, and priority contact information

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size disaster, whether it’s a small water leak, a large fire, or an area flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Now is the time to ask yourself, “Are you ready for whatever could happen?” Call SERVPRO® of Denver West at 303-576-6868 to get your ERP started.

Steps to Clean Up After a Commercial Renovation

8/16/2022 (Permalink)

When your commercial property undergoes a renovation the clean-up can seem like an afterthought. SERVPRO of Denver West has provided steps to ensure your property is cleaned properly: 

Clean-up Steps

Usually, a post-construction clean-up will include the following:

• Sweep and vacuum all surfaces, including ceilings and walls
• Sweep, mop, and disinfect floors
• Vacuum all upholstery
• Wipe down doors, knobs, baseboards, moldings, and hardware
• Thorough wipe-down and sanitization of bathrooms and kitchens (including appliances, cabinets, and counters)
• Dust, vacuum, and wipe down all window interiors including sills and frames
• Dust all ducts, grates, vents, blinds, ceiling fans, and lighting fixtures
• Clean all hardware such as hinges and handles
• Clean inside and outside of shelves and cabinets
• Clean inside all closets
• Removal of all remaining trash and debris (although your contractor should have removed most of this as part of the contract)

 If you’re trying to decide whether to do it yourself or to outsource it to the experts, ask the following questions:

• Do you have the energy and time?
• How long will it take you?
• Do you have any money left in the renovation budget you could put toward the cleaning? (Or better yet, build it in now if you haven’t started!).

Different circumstances will determine who gets the job, but a thorough clean is crucial. All kinds of particles are released into the air during renovations, including various toxins, mold spores, silicates, and ultra-fine dust that can damage your lungs. Freshly applied paints, lacquers, and primers also give off fumes. Given the possible dangers to your health, the hefty price tag for a proper clean may well be worth it! If you are looking for experts in cleaning your commercial property call SERVPRO of Denver West at 303-576-6868.

Smoke and Soot Cleanup

8/2/2022 (Permalink)

Smoke and soot are invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allow us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.  

Smoke and Soot Facts:

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Denver West will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

• Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

• Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

• Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor. 

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Since each smoke and fire damage situation is a little different, each one requires a unique solution tailored for the specific conditions. We have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damage.  We treat our customers with empathy, respect, and your property with care.

How To Clean Sewage Backup in Your Home

7/20/2022 (Permalink)

A sewer backup can lead to the spread of bacteria and viruses in your home. The problem should be addressed as soon as possible. There are some steps you can take to limit the spread of the contamination. They include:

• Turning off running water
• Move un-contaminated objects to dry, clean areas
• Open windows and doors to speed up the drying process and limit the growth of mold
• Discard contaminated curtains, carpeting, and upholstered furniture

Tips for Cleaning Sewage Backup in Your Bathtub

If you see a small bathtub backup, you may be able to clean the spill yourself. Before you start, make sure you have the necessary equipment. Wear protective equipment like goggles, coveralls, rubber gloves, and boots. Do not let your bare skin touch the sewage. You should also avoid touching your nose, ears, eyes, or any open cuts.

Once you are properly protected from the sewer backup, and after the contaminated items have been taken out of the bathroom, you can start removing the standing water. Discard any solid waste and apply an initial disinfectant spray to the affected area. You should then clean all the surfaces with household detergent to remove any additional dirt and contamination. Next, dry the area with a combination of dehumidifiers and portable fans. Finally, disinfect the area a second time by using a bacteria-killing bleach.

When To Call an Expert

If the contaminated area is large, you should contact a professional cleanup company, like SERVPRO of Denver West. Experts should also be brought in if your home’s HVAC system has been contaminated, or if the sewage has been in place for more than 24 hours.

While you may be able to handle a small sewer backup on your own, emergency restoration specialists will know how to clean up a bigger area quickly and safely. SERVPRO of Denver West can also dry any belongings that were damaged by the flooding. 

To recap you should contact a service professional unless the spill is limited to a tiny section of your bathroom floor, if an entire area or HVAC system is contaminated call SERVPRO of Denver West at 303-576-6868.

Does Your Home Have A Mold Problem?

7/6/2022 (Permalink)

Mold Spores

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

How Do I Know If My Water Heater Needs Maintenance in Englewood?

6/7/2022 (Permalink)

We respond to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Denver!

Water heaters require routine professional maintenance to keep them operating optimally. Our local team in Denver West offers these water heater maintenance tips for Evansville from the National Board of Pressure Vessel Inspectors:

Use a qualified service professional for the following:

• Burners should be cleaned once a year for gas and oil-fired water heaters. Have the service professional inspect flues and vents for cracks or loose connections that could leak deadly exhaust gases.
   
• Have a qualified plumber replace your anode rod once every two to five years
   
• The service life of a temperature and pressure (T & P) valve is usually three years. Even if a T & P valve looks fine from the outside, manufacturers recommend they be removed and visually inspected for accumulations of corrosion deposits
• Call a qualified plumber if your water tank is leaking
  • If the T & P valve is discharging water or steam, the ONLY safe intervention is to remove the heat source by cutting off its fuel, if you can. For an electric heater, trip the circuit breaker; for a gas heater, shut off the gas.
  • If your water heater overheats, call a qualified plumber and allow the water heater to cool naturally. Never try to relieve the pressure yourself. Never add cool water to the tank, and never try to cool it by spraying it with a hose.

Downed Tree in Parker?

Our technicians are on call 24-hours a day in Denver.

Our team in Denver West has been responding to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Parker for many years. Our fast emergency response time combined with a highly trained team means that your storm damage will be repaired quickly and efficiently. Fallen trees are an example of storm damage you may experience. The Colorado State Forest Service offers this advice for keeping trees healthy and assessing storm damage:

• Are major limbs broken? If larger limbs are broken, it will be harder for the tree to recover from the damage. When large limbs are broken or hanging, or when high climbing or overhead chainsaw work is needed, it’s best to hire or consult a professional.
• Don’t top your trees! When trees are topped, all of their branches are cut back to stubs on the mistaken assumption that reducing the length of branches will help avoid breakage in future storms. While storm damage may not always allow for ideal pruning cuts, professional arborists say that topping is one of the worst things you can do to your trees.

Outdoor Propane Heater Safety Guidelines for Aurora Businesses?

5/9/2022 (Permalink)

We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in the Denver area.

Businesses use propane patio heaters so people can spend more time outdoors on chilly days in Aurora. Our team in Denver West offers this information from the National Fire Protection Association for outdoor propane heaters safety:

Propane Patio Heaters

Propane heaters need to be used in accordance with their listing and manufacturer instructions. Prior to using a propane heater, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for information such as the following:

• Necessary clearances from the heating element
• Proper ventilation required
• Proper inspection, cleaning, and maintenance procedures
• Lighting and shutdown procedures
• Where the heater can and cannot be used (for example, heaters cannot be used in enclosed locations)
• Procedures for properly storing heaters

The restrictions for using propane heaters are also based on the occupancy in which they are used. For example, in assembly occupancies, such as restaurants with fifty or more occupants, heaters cannot be located within five ft (1.5 m) of the exits. Regardless of where they are used, if a heater uses propane hoses, they must be as short as possible, visible, and protected from damage.

For patio heaters that use integral LP-Gas containers with a capacity greater than 1.08 lb (0.49 kg), NFPA 1 requires that the heaters be listed by an organization acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

A fast response is necessary to avoid further damage and more time-consuming repairs when you have fire damage. Our Denver West team typically arrives onsite within four hours of your call. Call us today at 303-576-6868.

Last December, more than 57,000 customers in the metro Denver area were without power when strong winds of 90 miles-per-hour blew through the Front Range. You never know when a storm will knock out your electricity, so here are some tips for preparing for a power outage from the American Red Cross:

Create a support network. Identify people who can help you stay at home or evacuate during an extended power outage. Keep a paper copy of your contact list.

Stay connected and alert. Sign up for alert systems and apps for text alerts. Have communication devices that work without home power, including a crank or battery radio, a non-cordless home phone, chargers/batteries for your cell phones and your computers.

Stock food and water. Store non-perishable food and water supplies for at least two weeks. Plan to use coolers and ice to extend food refrigeration and keep a thermometer in the fridge, freezer, or cooler to monitor the food temperature.

Know and plan for your personal and medical electrical needs. Take an inventory of your electrical needs. Consider backup and non-power alternatives for lighting, communication, medical devices, refrigerated medicine, cooking, garage doors, locks, and elevators. Discuss a plan with your doctors for your medical needs.

Ice Dam Damage in Denver?

3/8/2022 (Permalink)

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Denver.

Ice dams are common during the winter months in Denver. SERVPRO^® of Denver West offers these tips for preventing roof ice dams from the National Weather Service:

• If you haven’t already, thoroughly clean all leaves, sticks, and other debris from your home’s gutters and downspouts. This allows melting snow to flow into gutters and downspouts.
• Make every effort to keep snow on your roof to a minimum. Long-handled devices on the market called “roof rakes” let you stand on the ground and pull the snow off the roof. Keeping heavy snow loads off your roof reduces the chances of ice dam formation and roof failure due to the weight.
• All winter long, keep gutters and downspouts clear of snow and icicles.
• Evaluate the insulation and ventilation in your attic. Most experts agree that the T=R-value of the attic insulation should be at least R-30 (R-38 is preferable in northern climates). In addition, good airflow under the eaves or soffit area along the underside of the roof and out through the vents is essential. The venting allows the attic air to stay cold enough to prevent or minimize the freeze/thaw cycle on the roof.

Frozen Pipes in Aurora?

3/1/2022 (Permalink)

We respond to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Denver.

Overnight temperatures drop below freezing in March. SERVPRO^® of Denver West offers these cold weather tips from the Denver Water website to prevent frozen pipes:

Know the location of your water shut-off valve and test it regularly.

If a pipe breaks, you won't want to have to find it then or, worse, wait for someone to arrive at your place to find it for you. In most single-family homes, the shut-off valve is in the basement or the crawl space on a wall facing the street.

Turn off outdoor faucets, and be sure to disconnect hoses from them.

Ensure the faucet and the outside portion of the pipes are fully drained. A valve inside many houses will shut off the water's flow; then open and close the tap outside to release any water in the pipe. Disconnect the hose to ensure that freeze-proof faucets will drain and to avoid damage to the hose from freezing water.

Winterize unheated or vacant buildings.

If your vacant building has a fire protection system, make sure there is no danger that the water servicing this system might freeze.

Insulate water pipes that may be vulnerable to the cold or have caused problems before.

Pipes close to exterior walls or in unheated basements can be wrapped with pieces of insulation. Never put heat tape on the water meter to avoid damaging plastic components of the meter.

High Wind Warning for Denver?

2/8/2022 (Permalink)

We restore storm damage 24-hours a day in Denver.

Do you know what to do if there is a high wind warning in your area? SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year, and many of these involve wind damage. Here is some information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on the types of wind alerts they issue:

High Wind Warning: Take Action! Sustained, strong winds with even stronger gusts are happening. Seek shelter. If you are driving, keep both hands on the wheel.

High Wind Watch: Be Prepared! Sustained, strong winds are possible. Secure loose items and adjust plans as necessary so you’re not caught outside.

Wind Advisory: Take Action: Strong winds are occurring but are not so strong to warrant a High Wind Warning. Objects outdoors should be secured, and caution should be taken if driving.  

Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Take Action! A thunderstorm is happening or is imminent in the warning area. Severe thunderstorms have wind gusts of 58 miles per hour and/or hail one inch or larger. Seek shelter inside a sturdy building.

Preparing for High Winds

• Remove any dead trees or overhanging branches near structures
• Remove loose objects outdoors, on patios, roofs, or balconies that could blow away

Fireplace and Wood Stove Safety for Greenwood Village?

2/1/2022 (Permalink)

We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in Denver.

Do you know that chimneys can catch on fire? SERVPRO^® of Denver West offers these tips for Greenwood Village from Federal Emergency Management Agency for preventing creosote buildup that can cause chimney fires:

Limited air supply and unseasoned wood encourage the buildup of creosote. To avoid that buildup, do not restrict the air supply by:

• Closing the glass doors
• Not opening the damper wide enough
• The longer the smoke is in the flue, the more likely it is that creosote will form
• By closing down the stove damper or air inlets on a wood stove too soon or too much
• Do not burn unseasoned wood
• In the case of wood stoves, overloading the firebox with wood in an attempt to get a longer burn time also contributes to creosote buildup

Fireplace and Woodstove Safety

• Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out
• Do not burn paper in your fireplace or woodstove
• Put ashes in a metal container with a lid, outside, at least three feet from your home
• Put the fire out before you go to sleep or leave your home

We are trusted leaders in water damage restoration in Denver.

For many years, SERVPRO^® of Denver West has been restoring water damage for Parker residents and business owners. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute to protect your possessions from water damage:

• Store off-season and other bulk belongings in waterproof bins, especially in areas where there are plumbing pipes or that are prone to dampness, such as basements and attics.
• Never store valuables or memorabilia where there is a risk of destruction from water. Water and dampness also bring with it the threat of mold damage.
• Keep belongings stored on shelving off the floor in basements. In case of water seepage or sewer backup, they’re less likely to get damaged.
• Keep an up-to-date home inventory. Having a comprehensive list of your possessions will save time, trouble, and stress in case of loss from water damage.

Water Leak in Cherry Creek?

11/29/2021 (Permalink)

We respond to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Denver.

Although I didn’t know it at the time, every time I got a glass of water from the refrigerator water dispenser, water from a cracked water supply line was pooling underneath. The hidden leak kept leaking for about a year. Then one day, I looked down and saw a pool of water around the base of the refrigerator. The water damage caused by this hidden leak was so extensive that all my hardwood floors and subfloors had to be replaced.

SERVPRO^® of Denver West knows firsthand the water damage kitchen appliances can cause. Often, water leaks underneath kitchen appliances, and these small water leaks become costly repairs if the leak is not repaired quickly.

Flooded Basement in Cherry Creek?

11/3/2021 (Permalink)

We clean and restore hoarding scenes in Denver.

SERVPRO^® of Denver West has been restoring water damage in beautiful Cherry Creek for many years. Our fast emergency response time, equipment, and experience save our customers time and money in many cases. Here are some tips for protecting your basement from water seepage from the Insurance Information Institute:

Reseal your basement. 

Water in the basement is often caused by cracks in building foundations or floor slabs. If you notice water seepage after heavy rain when you’ve never had a problem, it may mean that your once-waterproof cement floors and basement walls have deteriorated. Painting vulnerable areas with water sealant can prevent seepage.

Make sure water drains away from the building. 

Seepage is exacerbated by soil that has settled in a way to make water flow toward the building. After a storm, and especially if the ground is already saturated, rainwater that flows towards the building goes down the outside of the foundation wall, potentially through any cracks.

Install a backwater valve. 

Though less common than other causes of basement water, sewer backups are messy. Learn more about your sewer responsibilities and install and maintain a backwater valve, which allows sewage to go out, but not come back in.

Call Us!

When your basement floods or you need help with any water damage emergency, SERVPRO® of Denver West has a team of restoration technicians on call 24-hours a day. Call us today at 303-576-6868. We’ll restore water damage, “Like it never even happened.”

Hoarding Danger in Castle Rock?

10/25/2021 (Permalink)

We clean and restore hoarding scenes in Denver.

When my mother got out of the hospital, she wanted to return to her home in Castle Rock. I told her it would be elder abuse to let her go back to her home in its current state. My mother is a hoarder, and the house had become unlivable, and she became ill as a result. A friend told me to call SERVPRO^® of Denver West, and I’m glad I did. They sent out a team to help us clear the house and clean and decontaminate it.

Hoarding causes health and fire risks. According to the National Fire Protection Association, hoarding increases fire risks because:

• Cooking is unsafe if flammable items are close to the stove or oven
• Heating units may be too close to things that can burn. They might also be placed on unstable surfaces. If a heater tips over into a pile, it can cause a fire.
• Electrical wiring may be old or worn from the weight of piles. Pests could chew on wires. Damaged wires can start fires.
• Open flames from smoking materials or candles in a home with excess clutter are very dangerous
• Blocked pathways and exits may hinder escape from a fire

Call Us Today!

When you need help with a hoarding situation, SERVPRO® of Denver West has a team of restoration technicians on call 24-hours a day.

Call us today at 303-576-6868. We’ll restore your hoarding scene in Castle Rock, “Like it never even happened.”

Halloween Fire Safety Tips for Parker Families?

We restore fire damage in Denver 24-hours a day!

Wishing Parker families a Happy Halloween!

Each year decorations are the first thing to ignite in about 800 reported home fires each year. SERVPRO^® of Denver West offers these tips for Halloween safety from the National Fire Protection Association:

• When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric
• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume
• Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
• Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-o-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes
• Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working
• Tell children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire

Wildlife Encounters in Greenwood Village?

9/28/2021 (Permalink)

We are trusted leaders in property damage restoration in Arapahoe County!

As a resident of Greenwood Village, I know that the chances of having a wildlife encounter are good, but I never knew I would come home to a family of raccoons raiding my kitchen pantry! The little varmints came in through my dog door and made themselves at home. I backed out of the house and waited for them to leave on their own.

When I went back into the house, I was faced with a kitchen disaster. Everything in the pantry was turned over, boxes were torn open, and there was broken glass and debris all over the kitchen. That’s when I called SERVPRO^® of Denver West. They arrived quickly and cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom and decontaminated and deodorized the entire area. Thank you, SERVPRO!

The Greenwood Village website offers these helpful tips about wildlife encounters:

• Please do not feed wildlife
• Discourage others from feeding wildlife
• Do not touch young wild animals. An animal that appears orphaned will often have its mother nearby.
• Teach children not to feed, play with, or pet wild animals
• Secure trash containers to prevent wildlife access
• If you encounter an aggressive wild animal such as a coyote or raccoon, please call 9-1-1

Animal arson in Aurora?

SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to many fire damage emergencies each year in Aurora, and sometimes the cause of the fire has been pet-related.

Water Damage and Insurance Coverage in Aurora?

7/5/2021 (Permalink)

We are trusted leaders in water damage restoration services in Denver.

SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to water damage emergencies throughout the year in Aurora, and we encourage homeowners and renters to become familiar with what their policy covers.  Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute to make sure you have the right kind of claim to protect against water damage:

Different types of water damage are insured by different types of policies.

Homeowners' and renters' insurance provides coverage for burst pipes, wind-driven rain, and damage resulting from ice dams on your roof. Generally speaking, water that comes from the top down—such as rainfall and burst sprinklers—is covered by a standard homeowners policy.

Some policies cover sewer and drain backups, but many do not; however, you can purchase a sewer backup rider for your homeowner's or renters' coverage.

Typically, any water that comes from the bottom up—such as an overflowing river—is covered by a separate flood insurance policy, which can be purchased from the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and from some private insurers. If you live in a flood-prone area, learn more about appropriate coverage.

Anna was extremely clear in what would occur, she was diligent in watching and overseeing, and working with her crew to make sure everything was done properly and carefully, and the end result was a very happy and satisfied customer. I know when my items get returned to my home that they will be in the same condition they were when they left my home. Everybody worked incredibly hard. Everyone was incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure my personal belongings are safe and sound. I would highly recommend Anna’s crew. I think she did an amazing job.” 3 Peaks Farm

“SERVPRO of Denver West's team is top-notch. They didn't just show up on time, they showed up early! The team did an excellent job and was a pleasure to talk to. I will have no problem referring them to friends, family, and clients in the future!” Marcus Harris

Flooding in Cherry Creek?

6/14/2021 (Permalink)

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Denver.

Common Causes of Local Flooding in Denver

The City of Denver, Flood Protection Handbook  cites many reasons for local flooding. SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to flood and storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Cherry Creek, and we know that our fast response time is key to minimizing further damage. Here are some common local causes of flooding from the City of Denver handbook: 

• Heavy rains
• Summer storms
• Winter snowmelt
• Overflowing river channels, creeks, and gulches
• Storm sewers

According to the handbook, flooding can be aggravated by debris blocking the waterway. Hail has also been known to clog storm drains and sewer inlets. Urban developments cause less water to soak into the ground and interrupt the natural flow of water to waterways, causing the draining systems to be overloaded.

Here are some safety tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), on things you can do to prepare for a flood:

Know Your Risk for Floods
Visit FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to know the types of flood risk in your area.  Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts.

Sump Pump Failure in Centennial?

6/2/2021 (Permalink)

We provide emergency water damage restoration services in the Denver area.

Sump Pump Inspection Tips for Centennial

According to a study published by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS), power outages were the cause of 18 percent of water damage incidents involving a sump pump. Clogged inlet screens and faulty float switches accounted for another 40 percent of sump pump failure incidents. SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to water damage emergencies throughout the year in the Centennial area, and we mitigate many instances of flooding caused by sump pump failure.

The IBHS recommends following the manufacturer’s recommendations for sump pump maintenance. To inspect the sump pump:

• Open the lid and remove debris that may be clogging the water inlet screen
• Pour approximately five gallons of water into the pump and watch the float valve rise
• As the float valve rises, the pump should turn on and discharge the water through the outlet pipe
• Go outside and inspect the outlet pipe
• Water should be flowing from the pipe away from the home

You might also consider installing a battery backup system with a battery replacement warning and replace the batteries every two to three years.

Cooking With Oil

At SERVPRO® of Denver West, we respond to fire damage emergencies of all kinds in the Englewood area and many of them started in the kitchen. Here are some safety tips for cooking with oil from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Always stay in the kitchen when frying on the stovetop
• Keep an eye on what you fry. If you see wisps of smoke or the oil smells, immediately turn off the burner and/or carefully remove the pan from the burner. Smoke is a danger sign that the oil is too hot
• Heat the oil slowly to the temperature you need for frying or sautéing
• Add food gently to the pot or pan so the oil does not splatter
• Always cook with a lid beside your pan. If you have a fire, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Do not remove the cover because the fire could start again. Let the pan cool for a long time. Never throw water on the fire
• If the fire does not go out or you don’t feel comfortable sliding a lid over the pan, get everyone out of your home. Call the fire department from outside

Snow Dam Fixes for Cherry Creek?

3/2/2021 (Permalink)

We are leaders in water damage mitigation in Denver.

Denver Ice Dam Fix?

An article published in the Denver Post discusses ways to stop leaks from ice dams on roofs. The article describes the many conditions that encourage ice dams to form and some cures. Basically, ice dams form when roof temperatures fluctuate between freezing and above freezing on a roof. The frozen area prevents the unfrozen water from draining, and this causes standing water to seep underneath the roofing materials and cause water damage.

SERVPRO^® of Denver West responds to water damage emergencies often in Cherry Creek and other areas of Denver and offers these tips from the Denver Post article to cool down the roof and minimize the occurrence of ice dam formation:

• Install insulation or more insulation in the attic floor and keep it out of the eaves and soffit vents.
• Ventilate the attic by installing a ridge vent along the entire length of the roof’s ridge.
  • Install soffit vents on the soffit on each side of the house.

Trauma and Crime Scene Cleaning in Englewood?

Denver businesses rely on us to clean and restore crime scenes 24-hours a day.

Late Night Crime

Late one night in January, a man attempted to rob my Englewood convenience store. A review of the security camera footage showed the scene as it unfolded. The robber was pointing a gun at the clerk behind the counter and was caught off guard by a good Samaritan who came from the back of the store and tackled the robber. The gun went off, but the shot went wide, and the robber was quickly knocked to the ground and pinned down.

The Englewood Police Department came out and arrested the robber. They took statements from my store clerk and the good Samaritan and were through with the investigation in an hour. Blood and glass covered the floor, and a whole shelving unit was knocked over during the skirmish. I had to get the crime scene professionally cleaned before I could reopen the store.

SERVPRO^® of Denver West was called, and they arrived quickly with the equipment and protective safety gear to mitigate the bloodborne pathogens and other bodily fluids. By the time they were through my store was safely decontaminated and I was back in business.

We heard the crash in the middle of the night. When we investigated, we couldn’t see any cause, but my son discovered the broken window and the bricklaying underneath the windowsill in the morning. It’s never great to have a broken window, but in the winter, it’s a bigger issue as heat escapes, and winter rain and snow can get in through the structure's compromised area.

The Worst Storm in Colorado History

The most recent severe winter storm in Colorado history was recorded in 2006, fifteen years ago. Between December 20 and 21, a blizzard hit Denver just before Christmas, dumping 20.7 inches of snow. The metro area was completely blocked, and hundreds of motorists had to be rescued. The Denver International Airport canceled many flights and affected many people’s Christmas plans across the country.
