Hurricane Readiness

5/28/2022 (Permalink)

As Hurricane season soon approaches, it can pose a serious threat to both your life and property. These natural disasters can produce wind gusts ranging from 50 to 100 miles per hour or more.  Thus causing power outages, down trees and power lines which can cause fires.  A storm with that much power can cause catastrophic damage and severe flooding. Not only can flooding occur naturally but from an overwhelmed sump pump, sewer/septic overflow and high water table. Damages can be mild or severe. Weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for the unpredictable. Thus, why it’s vital to have a hurricane safety plan in place for your home or business. Here’s some things you need to know about hurricane readiness. Below are safety tips for before and after a hurricane.  

• Battery operated flashlights, lanterns and candles and a lighter
• Portable battery operated radio and extra batteries for all 
• First Aid Kit
• Non perishable food items and water
• Non-electric can opener
• Essential medicines 

• Natural gas: If you smell gas or hear a hissing or blowing sound, ventilate the area and leave immediately. Turn off the main gas valve from the outside, if you can. Do not smoke or use oil, gas lanterns, candles or torches for lighting inside a damaged facility until you are sure there is no leaking gas or other flammable materials present.
• Sparks, broken or frayed wires: Check the electrical system unless you are wet standing in water or unsure of your safety. If possible, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker.
•  Appliances: If appliances are wet, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. Unplug appliances and let them dry out. Water and sewage systems: If pipes are damaged, turn off the main water valve. Check with local authorities before using any water as the water could be contaminated.. Do not flush toilets until you know that sewage lines are intact.
• Have appliances, natural gas, plumbing and electrical checked by a service professional before using them again.

Weather or Not, Here We Are

5/23/2022 (Permalink)

It's that time of year where we re-discover just how strong the elements can be when the winds and rains beat against and around our homes. After a cold winter, it can be hard to come to terms with the ever changing New England springs and hurricane season. Wouldn’t it be ideal to pick out our weather for the day? What if we could always choose to have sunny weekends, rainy days only when we don’t need to go out, and snow just on Christmas Day. 

In reality though, our weather forecast doesn’t check with our schedule and preferences when it decides to do what it does. This is especially true in cases of severe storm. Power outages, fallen electrical wires, and downed trees are common when the elements decide to come out in full force. Because storms are unpredictable, we don’t have ways to prevent the damage that follows. But "weather or not" our crew are always here.

The crews at SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough are always “ready for whatever happens.” Whether it’s the small fire started by an electrical malfunction, or the water that started seeping through the cracks in the foundation, with the specialized training our technicians received, there is no damage that we are not well equipped to handle. Not only are we “Ready for whatever happens” but we’re also here to make it “Like it never even happened.”

In Case of An Emergency... Prepare

12/25/2021 (Permalink)

When storms approach, its helpful to be prepared in case it becomes too much to handle which is why we always recommend creating an emergency plan for your and family. At SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough we not only specialize in water and fire damage cleanup and restoration, but our crews also respond to damage caused by storms from hurricanes and tornadoes to rain and wind storms. 

As much as we try to, we can never accurately predict how the elements will impact a certain area, especially during the volatile environments caused by storms. 

This is why it’s important to have a concrete plan to follow in during emergency situations. Here are some things to consider when preparing a plan for you and your family: 

1. Create a Checklist

This can include a list of supplies to grab before leaving your home such as your emergency kit, pets, and any additional medication or documents. 

2. Discuss important decisions

Things like where to meet if your home or neighborhood is not safe, who to contact, and how you should respond to emergencies

3. Tailor your plan. 

Each family has different needs and limitations, make sure yours works for everyone in your household. 

4. Practice until perfect. 

All plans are perfect in theory, but when you actually put the plan into action, you’ll find flaws. Make sure to role-play and make changes if needed. 

5. Learn important phone numbers

This one is simple and straight-forward. Memorizing important numbers is key to ensuring you can contact the correct people.

We pride ourselves in being Ready for whatever happens, and we want you and your family to be ready as well. As you are running from the storm, our techs are running to it to do what we do best: make it “Like it never even happened.”

Nor'Easters & The Southcoast 02344

12/21/2020 (Permalink)

Nor’Easters & The Southcaast

If you have spent any time in the Southeast area of Massachusetts, you have more than likely experienced a Nor’Easter.  Nor’Easters usually occur between November & March, however, can develop as early as September lasting through April.  

These storms can develop 100 miles east or west of the coastline from as far south as Georgia to New Jersey and beyond.  The Nor’Easter develops where the cold air and warm water meet causing a low pressure system.  Conditions often change quickly causing severe damage.  

If you live or work in a flood zone or an area prone to flooding, you should have a family emergency plan to evacuate.  It is also a good idea to assemble an emergency kit with medical supplies and medications that may be necessary. Always follow the public safety officials guidelines and heed warnings to avoid putting first responders at greater risk.  Prepare for power outages by having flashlights ready with fresh batteries along with checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  

It’s not a bad idea to consider purchasing a generator to provide power during an outage and make a record of your personal property by taking photos or videos of your belongings and store them in a secure location.  

It is important to prepare if possible as these storms pose the threat of storm surges, high winds, heavy snow, heavy rainfall, inland flooding and rip currents and they can last several days.  

We, of course, hope you never suffer damages from a storm like this, however, if it does don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough. For all your storm related questions. Feel free to reach out to us for help at (508) 946-2397.

There's (Always) A Storm Coming - Lakeville 02347

12/8/2020 (Permalink)

Living in a coastal area, storms come as quickly as they go. We have a saying in New England that goes, “if you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes.” One minute you could be tanning by the water and the next minute Mother Nature decides you should be in the water instead… and so it begins to downpour.

Storms may be most prevalent in certain months out of the year, but make no mistake, they are always looming and threatening us throughout the year. Whether that’s snowstorms, flash floods, or wind storms, our beautiful south coast area sees its all. And so does SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough. Our crews and technicians are “ready for any sized disaster” and equipped to handle whatever happens, whenever it happens with our 24/7/365 (366 on leap years) emergency disaster recovery team.

A (Stormy) White Christmas - Rochester 02777

11/23/2020 (Permalink)

There’s something magical about seeing snow on Christmas. It could be the way everything really does look calm and bright, or maybe the way everyone gathers inside because it’s too dangerous to be out, or even because it makes us feel as if we’re in a Holiday Hallmark movie — a white Christmas is the icing on the cake of the holiday season. 

However, as magical as a white Christmas can be, it can also cause major mayhem if your home isn’t ready to withstand the ever-changing New England temperatures. With the threat of a nor’easter always above us like a dark cloud, it’s important to make sure you and your home are storm ready.

Keeping a first aid kit, batteries, non-perishable foods, and extra water are key measures in making sure you’re prepared and taking care of yourself and your loved ones. For all other disasters, you can trust that SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough is “ready for whatever happens."

What Should You Protect Before the Next Storm?

1/8/2020 (Permalink)

Keep an eye out on these important things before the next storm:

Windows

The wind is a huge threat to your windows, doors and garage doors. You can build and install temporary protection, like wind shutters or plywood on windows. Also covering your patio and entry doors, strengthen garage doors, and install heavy-duty door hardware.

Valuables

Protect your contents in waterproof containers and/or take the items with you if you evacuate. Inventory valuables and contents in the home with pictures or videos. Note the approximate value of each item and the date of purchase. Also, make sure important documents, such as an insurance policy or mortgage papers, are stored in a safe deposit or fire safe box. While keeping your paperwork safe is important but knowing what your policy entails is half the battle.

How to Be Storm Ready - Mattapoisett 02739

12/24/2019 (Permalink)

Here are a few suggestions on how to prep your home to effectively prevail against snowstorms, freezing rain, and chilly winds:

• Provide quality insulation for your home – make sure that the roof and the walls are in good order. You may install storm windows and provide additional layers of insulation anywhere possible. 

• Install smoke alarms and ensure proper ventilation– take precautions since fire hazards increase drastically when flames are burning in fireplaces and the power systems are overburdened by heaters.

• Keep pipes from freezing – wrap pipes to provide some protection and let faucets drip a little as another preventative on really frigid days.

• Ensure proper drainage– have downspouts and basins clear of debris and maintain the plumbing system in perfect condition so that the water from the melting ice and snow can easily find its way out and away from your property.

• Trim bushes and trees – if you have a yard, make sure no branches spread dangerously near the house. 

Clear snow away–remove snow and ice from the roof to prevent collapsing and clear accrued snow away from the foundations of the house to lower the risk of flooding.

Its the Elements, My Dear - Marion 02738

12/24/2019 (Permalink)

'Tis the season for discovering just how strong the elements can be when the winds and rains beat against and around your house. After a sunny summer, it can be hard to come to terms with the harsh realities of our coastal winters. Wouldn’t it be ideal to pick out our weather for the day? What if we could also choose to have sunny weekends, rainy days only when we don’t need to go out, and snow just on Christmas Day.

Beware of Storm Chasers - Rochester 02777

11/25/2019 (Permalink)

Ever notice that after a major storm a bunch of construction companies pop up that you’ve never heard of with addresses and locations that are anything but local?

Maybe you never noticed them because you’ve never needed them until recent storms damaged your house, or you were never looking so you didn’t find it. As likely as that can be, we caution against using construction and repair companies outside of your local area. The reason is, we’ve found that many of these “companies” pack up their gear and head to where the most recent storm was and prey on vulnerable families that need repairs. After the repairs are done, they pack up and move to the next storm-shattered city, leaving you to fend for yourself in case anything goes awry after the repair. 

While the prices may be enticing, and the promise of getting it done quickly appealing, the cons outweigh the pros. Always go with a local and reputable company when choosing to do repairs on your house. Whether that’s gathering information from others who’ve used the company in question in the past or doing your research online. 

When it comes to disasters, you want to choose the best. Which is why SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough is here to help. Not only are we a locally owned and operated franchise, made up of employees and members in your local community, we also have other regional franchises at our disposal, should your restoration and clean-up be bigger than anticipated. We’re dedicated to making your disaster, “Like it never even happened.” 

Our advice when it comes to storms and disaster restoration? Choose wisely. Choose local. 

Preparing for Ice Storms - Lakeville 02347

11/11/2019 (Permalink)

Preparing for an Ice storm

The ice from ice storms can accumulate on branches, electrical wires, and other structures.  If you need to go outside after ice has accumulated, pay attention to branches or wires that can collapse under the ice that has been accumulated.  Stay on guard because large chunks of ice can fall from roofs.

Never touch electrical wires.  A hanging wire can still be live with current and can electrocute you.  Keep in mind that ice, branches, and electrical wires can continue to fall several hours after the precipitation ends.

Remember that freezing rain, even in small quantities, can make roads very slippery.  It is a good idea to avoid driving during freezing rain and for several hours after the storm, to allow maintenance teams time to spread sand and salt on the icy roads.

The quick onset of an ice storm, coupled with the risk of a blizzard increased the possibility of extreme hypothermia.  If you have a farm, quickly shelter your animals and make sure to supply them with food.  Often, during an ice storm and immediately after, feed is temporarily inaccessible.  Animals’ reactions are similar during an ice storm and blizzards.

With a forecast threatening more freezing rain, and with two months of winter left to go, it's a good idea to prepare both your home and family for whatever may arise.

The following winter storm home-preparation suggestions may be helpful:

• Make sure flashlights and battery-powered radios are working, and keep extra batteries, candles, and matches on hand.
• Unplug sensitive appliances such as TV, VCR, computer, and microwave. If the power goes off, turn off all major electrical appliances.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. If you lose power, frozen food will generally keep for 48 hours. Discard perishable food that has been at 40 degrees for more than two hours. Odor or appearance is not an indicator that food is safe. When in doubt, throw it out.
• If you use an emergency-heating source such as a wood stove, kerosene heater or fireplace, keep fuels away from the flames and ventilate properly. Never leave a fire unattended.
• If it seems likely that your home will be without heat for several days, drain your water pipes.

If you use a generator, read all the instructions that accompany it and be aware of the hazards that come with misuse. Use a qualified electrician to connect a generator to the house wiring. Never run a gasoline-powered generator in the house-the fumes are deadly.

Since there is no way to prevent nature's winter storms, being prepared is your best defense:

• Create a family disaster plan and practice it regularly.
• Learn and teach others in your family how to turn off electricity, gas, and water.
• Store extra blankets and warm clothes where you can find them easily. Layer winter clothing to trap body heat.
• Keep emergency telephone numbers with you.
• Have a first aid kit on hand.
• Stock up on drinking water and canned or dried foods. Be sure to include a non-electric can opener with your supplies.
• Have at least a week's supply of prescription medications on hand.
• Fill your car with gasoline.
• Have cash available.

Even when the winter storm is over, keep a disaster supply kit assembled and replace food, water, and other time-sensitive items twice a year. Remember to replenish your kits when the clocks are reset in spring and fall. For other ways SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough can help you when you need it most, call us directly at 508-946-2397

Storm Damage, Drain Backup's, and Important Insurance Information

#HereToHelp

As we like to say; we can’t prevent disasters, but we can prepare for them. To do so, you should perform a home insurance “check-up” at the beginning of each year to look for any gaps in your policy. Furthermore, creating a home inventory list can come in handy if or when you do ever experience a loss. This will expedite the claims process and ensure you get a quicker payout.

Temperamental Storms - Lakeville, 02347

What the Hail? – Freetown, MA 02717

1/9/2019 (Permalink)

“How about this weather we’re having?” Have you heard or used this conversation starter lately? If you have, odds are it wasn’t in relation to a hailstorm, especially around here. Although hailstorms are not very common in this area, here are some helpful tips just in case those “golf balls” start to fall from the sky!

Preparing for a hailstorm

 If you have time to get prepared before a hailstorm here are some helpful tips to go by:

-It is best to store (if possible) vehicles, boats and other expensive items in a garage.

- Placing garbage bins, patio furniture, umbrellas and umbrella stands into a closed area such as a shed. This can help prevent further damage to your home if winds pick up.

-Making sure all doors and windows are closed.

-Closing blinds and curtains can help keep shattering glass from blowing towards you and your family while seeking shelter inside.

 -Check trees around your home. If you have large branches close to the house it is best to trim them down. These branches can cause more damage during a storm if they were to break off and hit your homes windows.

-Checking your roof is another good step towards preparedness. If you see any broken shingles, getting them replaced right away can help lessen the damage from a hailstorm.

What is hail?

According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hail is a form of solid precipitation that occurs when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere where they freeze into little balls. They can range from pea size to the size of a grapefruit. As hail is denser and hits with a lot more force than rain does it causes far more damage. According to NOAA, hail causes up to $1 billion in damages to crops and property each year.

Hopefully this never happens to you, but if it does don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough. For all your storm related questions. Feel free to reach out to us for help at (508) 946-2397.

With the holidays in full effect, it’s important to note safe travel practices before heading out on the road this year. Below you’ll find ways to help ensure a safe departure this holiday season - Read on to learn more!

• Prepare your Vehicle for Long Distance

Check your wipers and fluids. Have your radiator and cooling system serviced. Simple maintenance can prevent many of the problems that strand motorists on the side of the road.

• Plan Ahead

Before you get on a highway, know your exit by name and number, and watch the signs as you near the off-ramp. Drivers making unexpected lane changes to exit often cause accidents.

• Do not cut in front of large trucks

Remember that trucks are heavier and take longer to make a complete stop, so avoid cutting quickly in front of them.

• Beware of truck blind spots

When sharing the road with large trucks, be aware of their blind spots. If you can't see the truck driver in his or her mirrors, then the truck driver can't see you.

• Check your emergency kit.Contents should include a battery-powered radio, flashlight, blanket, jumper cables, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, bottled water, non-perishable foods, maps, tire-repair kit and flares.
• Keep your eyes on the road

 Distracted driving is a major cause of traffic accidents. Even just two seconds of distraction time doubles the chances of an accident. Use your cell phone when stopped and never text while driving.

• Leave early and avoid risks

 Leave early so you won't be anxious about arriving late and to accommodate delays. Road conditions may change due to inclement weather or traffic congestion.

• Avoid extreme weather conditions

Ice, hail and snow make roads difficult to travel. Try to avoid driving through extreme weather conditions, and travel during daylight.

• Remove ice and snow from your vehicle

Clear snow from your windows and roof to ensure that you have maximum visibility and are not creating a hazard for the vehicle behind you. Don't allow ice and snow to create additional blind spots on your vehicle.

• Beware of the vehicle in front of you

Leave extra room between you and the vehicle in front so you can avoid snow and ice blowing onto your windshield or maneuver around patches of ice.

• Slow down

With the extra highway congestion due to holiday travel, speeding becomes even more dangerous. Allow plenty of space cushion and reduce your speed.

• Buckle up

Safety belts reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45 percent and are a simple way to increase your safety on the road.

Preparing your Home for Cold Weather - Lakeville, MA 02347

11/12/2018 (Permalink)

Don't Get Caught in the Cold

We’ve turned back the clocks.

Caught up on our favorite TV shows.

…And Thanksgiving is just a week away.

Yep, winter is officially on its way in New England!

When it comes to winterizing your home, it may feel like just one more chore on top of the already dozen piled onto your to-do list. Still, winterizing is a crucial part in preparing your home for the frigid temps that can roll in off of the coast and cause thousands in property damage.

To help simplify this process, we’ve created a home weatherproofing checklist – because let’s face it, you’re already under enough stress from the holidays! Here you’ll find ways to ensure your home is ready before the season’s first snow fall, and require little to no handiness:

1. Clean gutters & downspouts in mid-fall then double check them before winter
2. Close any vents in your home that may have been opened for the warm weather
3. Drain & disconnect hoses from outside faucets and turn off the water supply
4. Buy snow shovels, salt and other winter supplies before the bad weather hits
5. Caulk or apply weather stripping around draft areas
6. Have your chimney cleaned before firing it up
7. Run fans in reverse
8. Replace the filter in your furnace
9. Turn down your water heater
10. Test that your sump pump is working properly

If any unwanted surprises do happen to occur this holiday season (and we’re not talking about the in-laws staying for Christmas) you can count on our 24/7/365 emergency response team to take control of the situation so you can take back your life (sorry, still not talking about the in-laws) and make things “Like it never even happened.”

Tornadoes in Southeastern Mass? - Taunton, MA 02718

11/7/2018 (Permalink)

Toto, We're not in Kansas Anymore...

We are all aware of the recent tornado warnings that have been broadcasted across The Weather Channel, and how much of an abnormality they are in this part of the country. Normally, our knowledge of tornadoes comes from blockbuster dramas like Twister, or Storm Chasers – but what are these weather anomalies really like?

What is a Tornado?

A tornado is a funnel-shaped vortex of violent winds that form under a major storm system. Wind speeds can reach anywhere between 65mph to upwards of 300mph, depending on the scale of the tornado.

There are two forms of tornadoes, supercell and non-supercell. Supercell tornadoes are spawned from supercell thunderstorms, and are the most common tornado and typically the most dangerous. Non-supercell tornadoes are circulations that do not form from an organized storm front.

How do Tornado’s form?

According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm.

Supercell tornadoes develop from a rotating updrift. One theory on how this rotation begins is that a column of air begins to rotate from wind shear, which is then fed by warm, moist air flowing in at ground level.

Non-supercell tornadoes form from a vertically spinning parcel of air already occurring near the ground, caused by wind shear from a warm, cold, or sea breeze front, or a dryline. When an updraft moves over the rotation, and stretches it, a tornado can form.

There are still many unanswered questions scientists face when examining supercell and non-supercell tornadoes, but with the help of modern technology and equipment, we are making strides towards learning more about these super storms every day.

What do to in the event of a Tornado?

When the tornado sirens sound, you may only have minutes to find safe shelter. It is recommended that you bunker down in your bathtub if an underground shelter isn’t available.

A bathtub is a great form of shelter given that they are strong, sturdy objects which are piped directly into the ground. Normally, bathtubs and loo’s are the only remnants of a home left after a tornado has passed through it.

One incredible story of survival comes from a 60-year-old woman from Louisiana who hid in her bathtub as a tornado was ravaging her home. The tornado picked up the tub, while she was hiding in it, and carried it to a wooded area not far from her home. Miraculously, the tub was placed gently on the ground, and she suffered only minor cuts and bruising.

Preventing Frozen and Burst Water Pipes- Marion, MA

We're here to help

Preventing Frozen and Burst Water Pipes- Marion, MA

Did you know, in just one day, 250 gallons of water can be discharged from a pipe crack as small as 1/8 inch. So, it's imperative to be proactive and take action to protect your home. Drastic drops in winter temperatures can cause extensive water damage as pipes begin to freeze and burst, causing damage to walls, ceilings, floors, carpets, furniture and other possessions. Even a small crack in your water pipe can leak enough water to flood your home. 

What to do Right Away to Prevent Water Damage from Frozen Pipes

Before extreme weather strikes, preparation is key to prevent water damage before it occurs. When temperatures dip, take these immediate steps to prevent water damage:

• Open kitchen & bathroom cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around water pipes. Insulate pipes when possible.
• Open water taps throughout the house to allow water to drip and to keep water pipes from freezing.
• When going out of town, keep thermostat at a minimum of 55 degrees and ask a trusted neighbor or friend to watch your home for possible leaks. Also, turn your water off and drain water supply lines.

Keep in mind that homeowners’ insurance are more likely to pay your water damage claim if you can show that you've done your due diligence and maintained your property in a reasonable manner.

Prevent Frozen Pipes from Bursting

When pipes freeze in sub-zero weather and then thaw out as temperatures rise, frozen pipes tend to crack and burst, which causes water leaks and flooding. If you discover a frozen pipe in your home, you can still prevent it from bursting and causing water damage.

• Turn off the main water supply.
• Turn and leave your water taps on.
• Remove any valuables and household possessions from the area that might be exposed to water damage if the frozen pipe bursts.
• Gradually thaw out the ice in the frozen pipe by melting it with a heat pack. Begin applying heat at the area that is closest to the tap and slowly move further away towards the rest of the frozen pipe.

Call SERVPRO Marion/Middleboro When Frozen Pipes Burst

If you are faced with an emergency water damage situation in your home or business property, give SERVPRO Marion/Middleboro a call at 508-946-2387. When dealing with water damage emergencies, immediate attention to the situation will minimize damage and prevent further loss.

Holiday Travel Tips- New Bedford, MA 02745

12/20/2017 (Permalink)

Many people choose to travel during the holidays by automobile, with the highest fatality rate of any major form of transportation. In 2013, 343 people died on New Year's Day, 360 on Thanksgiving Day and 88 on Christmas Day, according to Injury Facts 2015. Alcohol-impaired fatalities represented 31% of the totals.

• Use a designated driver to ensure guests make it home safely after a holiday party; alcohol, over-the-counter or illegal drugs all cause impairment
• Make sure every person in the vehicle is properly buckled up no matter how long or short the distance being traveled
• Put that cell phone away; distracted driving causes one-quarter of all crashes
• Properly maintain the vehicle and keep an emergency kit with you
• Be prepared for heavy traffic, and possibly heavy snow
• Keep a blanket, flashlight, water and some non-perishable food in your vehicle in case you become stranded. 
• Print-out directions as back-up to your navigation. Service & software outages happen. 
• Give yourself ample time to travel. Unexpected weather conditions can hinder drive time as well as all other means of transportation. 

Remember, when guests are staying in your home, make sure areas have night lights or easy-to-reach lamps in case they need to get up during the night. And, whether you are visiting someone else's home or you have guests in your home, make sure all medications are kept up and away and out of sight from young children.

These Holiday Safety Tips were provided by the Consumer Product Safety Commission; in an effort to help everyone have a healthy & safe holiday season! From all of us at SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 

Minimize Business Loss due to Storm Damage- Lakeville, MA 02347

11/13/2017 (Permalink)

With the recent devastation caused by various storms impacting the United States it brings about the question for a lot of business owners what would they do in the event a major storm were to hit our area. What can we do to prepare? How would this affect business financially?

50 percent of businesses that are affected by a disaster do not reopen. Sure insurance covers belongings and structural damage however the main cause of business closures after a disaster is loss of business. Most small business owners rely on the business income as their sole revenue stream. SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro has seen this happen time and time again. In an effort to reduce that percentage we developed the Emergency Ready Profile (ERP).

For more information or to schedule an appointment for your complimentary ERP please contact SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro

50% of Businesses Never Reopen! Middleboro, MA 02346

11/8/2017 (Permalink)

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): “Almost 50 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster because just a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. During the 5 year period of 2006-2010, the average commercial flood claim had amounted to just over $85,000.” With the raise in construction and residential and commercial building prices on the rise, we can suppose that that figure has only increased over the last 7 years.

While commercial property insurance may cover your structure and belongings, depending on your policy endorsements, loss of business revenue can be a major factor for whether or not your business survives. Regardless of annual income; an unexpected halt in revenue accompanied by a slow claims process, can affect businesses of all sizes. Whether your business generates hundreds of dollars, or hundreds of thousands, per day; minimizing damage quickly can potentially save your business.

Storm Preparation- Mattapoisett, MA 02739

11/8/2017 (Permalink)

Storms can lead to an array of types of damage caused to your home, business, and rental properties.

The overwhelming precipitation, wind speeds, airborne debris can expose weak points in construction such as poorly maintained gutters & downspouts. The redirection of water off and away from your roof can help prevent roof leaks caused by pressure and/or accumulated water finding the path of least resistance into your home. Having downspout output spouts well connected and directing the water away from your structures foundation is also a very important as an already overwhelmed groundwater level around your home.

Checking to make sure that your sump pump is working properly is another great precaution before a storm. Sump pumps can often become unplugged by various tradesmen working in your basement looking for an electrical source to plug their equipment in. Become clogged with debris and animals over time and of course can have mechanical issues. A quick test of the sump pump in anticipation of heavy rains can prevent long on-hold times with the manufacturer and the anxiety of trying to prevent a water loss while time is limited.

Of course with heavier storms, it is always a good idea to have some plywood on hand to board up windows in preparation or as need. Flying debris during heavy winds can easily shatter windows, exposing your home to outside elements.

These are just a few tips for home and business owners, if you would like more helpful tips please visit our storm damage section or for help with storm damage cleanup call us directly (508)946-2397!

The Time to Prepare for a Disaster is Now!

11/11/2016 (Permalink)

In recent years many forms of disasters have affected the U.S. Whether it's flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, blizzards, etc. are all natural disasters that can threaten your home or business.

Storms can have a devastating effect on the entire community. SERVPRO Dartmouth/New Bedford & Marion/Middleboro wants to help you and your family be prepared for an unexpected situation.

The time to prepare for a disaster is now

Here are a few things to take into consideration while preparing an emergency kit. More often than not, during severe weather & storm conditions many businesses and households tend to lose power. Due to heavy winds and the nature of our power line system here in the Northeast; our power seems to be the first thing to go. Forcing us to resort to non-perishable food items and conserving our fresh bottled water.

• It is recommended to keep at least a 3 day supply (for each member of your household, including pets) of both non-perishable food and bottled water readily available.
• A battery operated radio is also an important item to keep available to keep up to date on any storm condition warnings or evacuations of your area.
• Flashlights and plenty of batteries only (candles can be quite dangerous especially during windy conditions and dim lighting).
• First aid kits, extra clothing, dust masks and duct tape are also important.
• Keeping a wrench or pliers handy to shut off any utilities if necessary is probably a good idea as well.

With a little preparation you can make weathering a storm a little more comfortable and more importantly, safe. Be sure to always follow any safety and/or evacuation protocols issued by your state and/or county.
