Tsunami Advisory Issued

Tsunami Advisory Issued 

On Saturday evening 1/15/2022, a tsunami warning was issued after a volcanic eruption with ash and steam occurred. The volcano sent tsunami waves crashing on the shores of Tonga. The tsunami waves caused some damage to New Zealand and Santa Cruz, CA. 

However, alerts were issued for Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, and the U.S. Pacific. According to geologists, the eruption caused the same magnitude as a 5.8 earthquake. 

This is important to know and understand because volcanos or earthquakes that are strong enough to cause a tsunami can later cause flooding into streets, neighborhoods, and buildings. Not only can it cause extreme hazards, but it can also affect hundreds of homes. 

When flooding occurs in a home, all electricity should be turned off for the safety of others. SERVPRO technicians can assess the damage on the property with the correct tools and materials to do it safely. 

SERVPRO of Westminster has the equipment and manpower to soak up any water contents, test moisture levels, and detect any mold on the property. 

Floods can occur from natural disasters, failed pluming, and/ or sewage backup. Regardless of how it started, SERVPRO will always provide its services in the event of an emergency.

Inspection and Water Damage Assessment

12/29/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO equipment Call SERVPRO of Westminster today!

When water damage occurs, SERVPRO technicians must inspect and assess the damage that has been done. Trained technicians must make an inspection of the property to identify the source of the water and attempt to stop it. 

Contamination and Category 

After inspecting the home, technicians must identify the type of water damage to know the severity of the situation. Category 2 and 3 Water damage can be very dangerous if not treated properly. Knowing the category of the damage can be the right step to solving the problem. 

Survey the Extent of the Water  Damage 

In addition to the water damage, SERVPRO can also inspect your home to be aware of any other issues. But it would also be helpful to advise our technicians if there are any asbestos or lead. 

Move or Block Furniture 

SERVPRO will also move any property contents and block items to prevent further damage of items and furniture.

Three Stages of Water Damage You Should Be Aware Of

Three Stages of Water Damage You Should Be Aware Of 

When water damage occurs, it can happen in three different stages. It is important for our technicians to determine the severity of the water damage to keep tenants safe and to know how to treat each case. The extent of the contamination in the water will help determine the category of water loss. 

Category 1: Clean Water 

This kind of water damage comes from a sanitary water source like broken water supply lines, appliance malfunctions and even melting ice or snow. However, a category 1 damage can increase to a category 2 or category 3 depending on the cleanliness of the area, damage of materials (walls and floors), and any odors. 

Category 2: Contaminated Water 

The water originates from sources such as a discharge from dishwashers or washing machines; overflows from washing machines; overflows from toilet bowls with urine but no feces; and broken aquariums. This water contains significant contamination and has the potential to cause sickness if contacted or consumed by humans.

Category 3: Hazardous Water 

The water is grossly contaminated and can contain toxigenic or other harmful agents. Examples of a category 3 water loss include sewage; toilet backflows; wind-driven rain; and flooding. For this type of water loss, you definitely want to wait for a professional to arrive as it is extremely dangerous to try to handle it on your own.

Regardless of the category of water damage, SERVPRO professionals should always be called to help.

Water Conservation

Faucet with water Call SERVPRO today!

Living in California has been difficult with the earthquakes, wildfires, and lack of rain. Even though statistics say that there is no longer a drought, it's still a good idea to conserve water. Here are some tips to help you conserve water.

Tip #1: Pay Attention To Faucets 

Not only is this a great way to help you save water, but it also helps you save money. Leaving faucets on can be a huge waste of water. Be considerate on how much water you need. 

Tip #2: Cut Your Shower Time

The average American uses about 17 gallons of water in around 8 minutes while showering. It is best to take a shower that's at least 5 minutes or less. A great way to time your shower is to take a "one song shower" since the average song is about 3-5 minutes long.  

Tip #3: Fix Leaking Pipes

The sooner you spot a leak, the sooner it can get fixed. A leaking pipe can waste about 5 gallons of water to 2,000 a year. Not only are wasting water and money, but this can also lead to water damage. 

If water damage in your home or business does happen, you can trust SERVPRO of Westminster so fix the damage. Call (714)248-9261 if you have any questions/concerns. Or visit our website at www.SERVPROwestminster.com for more information

Water Damage Cleanup

SERVPRO flyer with water damage and cleanup information Call SERVPRO of Westminster today!

Secondary Damage

After water damage in a home, it is common to have secondary damage. This is the cause of moisture that is left behind when the damage is not cleaned up correctly. An issue that can arise from leftover moisture is mold. This is a quick-growing organism that spreads in small patches of moist walls and carpet. It is crucial that mold is removed as quickly as possible to prevent further spread. Wood rot contributes to black mold growing when wood elements in your home are not properly dried. 

If water isn't dried completely after damage, moisture can stay in walls. If it is spread and seeped to outlets, it can increase the chance of potential electrical shock. 

Hidden pipes can also be at risk with secondary water damage. In wet conditions, metal pipes can begin to rust and lead to bigger issues. Bursting pipes would make water damage much more serious.
