Our team recently responded to a client that had suffered a water damage in their home. Our client discovered the water damage when stepping in water as they were getting out of bed one morning. Not a very pleasant way to wake up, but certainly a jolting one! Our client thought it may be a burst pipe or an overflow, but they could not find the source of the leak. They had previously contacted our team for restoration so our team provided assistance in locating the source of water intrusion once they arrived to the home. Using thermal imaging and other water detection tools, our team was able to quickly locate the source of water intrusion. Once the source was identified, it was able to repaired so that no additional damage would occur. In the meantime, our team performed the water restoration. Once the mitigation had been performed our reconstruction division stepped in to take over the second phase of the project - truly, making this water damage "Like it never even happened"!

Restaurant Fire in Orange Beach

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

Fire damage is especially devastating for a business or commercial property. In addition to the fire and smoke damage, significant water damage from firefighting efforts and fire suppression systems may occur. Every hour spent restoring your business back to pre-fire condition is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. If your business experiences a fire loss, call the fire and water damage restoration experts and we’ll respond immediately to get you back to business.

Fire at Orange Beach Restaurant

It's not a secret that residential fires increase around the holidays. The types of fires that occur are most often cooking and furnace related. While fires most often happen during the winter months, our area has experienced its fair share of commercial restaurant and condominium fires during the summer or peak tourist season. It only makes sense that the influx of visitors can result increased property damage as more properties are utilized in these months than in the off season. 

Our client recently contacted our company after a severe fire damage to their restaurant in Orange Beach, AL. A grease trap malfunction resulted in a fire that quickly spread throughout the restaurant. Luckily, there were no injuries as it happened after the restaurant had closed, but unfortunately for our client, the fire occurred just after the start of summer's busy season. 

We understand the stress that comes with fire damage to your business. Every hour counts.

After meeting with our client, the adjuster, and the consultant, our team immediately stepped into action so that our client could reopen as soon as possible. Working 7 days a week, performing reconstruction as mitigation was completing, and sectioning off areas as repairs were completed allowed our client to reopen quickly.

Mold Damage in Condominium

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

Besides causing a major business interruption, a mold problem can present a serious health risk for people exposed at your commercial property. Mold infestations can be caused by minor water intrusions, like a slow roof leak or loose plumbing fitting. Every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. If you suspect your property has a mold problem, call  SERVPRO of Baldwin County, who will respond quickly and work fast to manage the situation.

Massive Mold Remediation in Orange Beach Condominium

2020 may be known to the rest of the world as the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but in our area, we experienced the unique combination of an unprecedented pandemic and a catastrophic hurricane. The hurricane made landfall in Gulf Shores, AL on September 16, 2020. The very slow moving Hurricane Sally dumped rain and heavy winds on the Gulf Coast as it made its way slowly north. The main causes of damage to property? Wind-driven rain, roof damage and leaks, and storm surge. As a result of the heavy wind, many windows and sliding glass doors had to be replaced in condominiums dotted across the beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

One client in particular did not have an easy repair process. Our client contacted us for an assessment after discovering water intrusion and mold throughout the units following a tropical storm in 2021. An industrial hygienist had previously been involved and provided a report showing abnormally high microbial growth throughout most of the units in the condominium. Included within the report was a protocol for how to remediate the damage along with a recommendation for the window contractor to repair the newly installed windows. 

Performing the protocol was a massive undertaking as over 100 units were affected. Our team worked around the clock to have the units sanitized and ready for occupation. When the project was completed, our client told us that this project was the perfect example of why his association is glad to have a relationship with SERVPRO of Baldwin County.

Flooded Daphne, AL Home

A client recently experienced a massive residential water damage during their summer vacation. The damage was caused by an ice maker line that ran unnoticed while our client and their family were out of town. When they arrived back after being gone for 5 days, they immediately noticed a musty smell as soon as they opened the door. The water had traveled through the kitchen to the living and dining rooms and to 4 additional rooms in the house. The wood floor had started cupping as the water saturated the planks. We immediately started working to mitigate the damage. We assessed what could be restored or salvaged and removed whatever materials that could not be. Following this, we began drying. Each day we returned to assess the drying and to remove and re-position the equipment as drying goals were reached. Our reconstruction division began promptly afterwards with the rebuild phase. When we were finished, our client was ecstatic telling our team, "This is like new!"

This water loss was caused by a supply line. Here our team is building a drying chamber.

We’re the #1 choice in cleanup and restoration for commercial industries from hospitals and schools to hospitality and retail facilities.

Flooded Factory

Our client recently suffered a water loss inside the manufacturing section of their factory. Luckily, the water damage only affected a small portion of the factory in the production area; however, like most factories, the volume of the production area was very large. Our team immediately responded and determined two items that needed to be addressed immediately: establish safe work area for factory employees (as it was in the production area) and reduce the size of the area needed to be mitigated in order for the damage to dry more quickly. Our team quickly got to work building a drying chamber which accomplished both as can be seen in the photo. Our client was able to maintain production once safety had been established and the area reached drying goals much more quickly by reducing the amount of time required to mitigate the property.

Flooded Pediatrician's Office

Your commercial property says a lot about you to potential clients and customers. You want to build trust and present your business or public space as a safe, clean place to be. This is especially true if you are in the healthcare industry.

Flooded Pediatrician's Office

Our client recently experienced a major water damage as a result of ground water intrusion. Ground water is considered category 3 water or "black" water. It is highly unsanitary and grossly contaminated. This type of water can carry organic matter, pesticides, heavy metals, regulated materials, and other toxic organic substances just to name a few. Because of this, special preparation must be taken to mitigate the property. Of course, the last place this needs to happen is the pediatrician's office! 

Our team responded immediately after receiving a call from our client. In sensitive matters such as this, it is imperative that your restoration firm be IICRC certified with WRT and ASD IICRC certified employees providing and overseeing the services being rendered. We mitigated the property in accordance with IICRC guidelines which did the following:

1. Assisted in achieving the dry standard
2. Ensured that a safe environment is created for all inhabitants. 

Following a thorough sanitization and mitigation, our reconstruction division phased in and took over the remainder of the project. Our client was ecstatic that we were able to take the guesswork out of searching for a contractor minimizing the time their business was closed, but also that the facility had been mitigated properly and it was safe for their staff and patients to return.

Hotel in Gulf Shores, AL

Rainy Weather in Baldwin County

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

It has been a rainy week here in Baldwin County, Alabama! Our team has been busy responding to calls due to roof leaks, groundwater intrusions, and an unfortunate part of excessive rain, sewage backups. 

Water Damage is Serious.

It's important to identify any potential openings for water intrusion before it happens. Although, identifying potential causes can be difficult until a damage actually occurs, there are some ways that you can be proactive that can have a serious impact on preventing damages.

1. Roof Inspection: having your roof inspected (especially if it is an older roof and has weathered many storms!) is an important item in your toolkit for preventing water damage. Our area is not a stranger to bad weather including tornadoes, tropical storms, or hurricanes. Even if you may not experience water damage, regular roof maintenance can be especially helpful in reducing risk for future damage.
2. Identify potential causes for other water intrusion. Water can enter the home in a variety of ways whether that be due sealant failure around doors and windows, sump-pump failure, or drainage issues related to landscaping. If you notice any of these issues following decent raining, it is important to get these issues repaired before another storm. And, especially so as we enter hurricane season!

We're Here to Help.

SERVPRO of Baldwin County can help you identify and repair these issues if you experience damage. As a fully licensed general contractor and homebuilder, we have the knowledge and resources to complete all of the necessary interior and exterior repairs - as well as drying if necessary - to make your water damage "Like it never even happened." If you suffer water damage, call the experts at SERVPRO of Baldwin County. We're available 24/7/365: 251-928-9625.

Tornado Safety

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

It's safe to say that most understand that hurricanes, tropical storms, tropical depressions, and tornadoes are dangerous weather events common in our area. However, unless you live on the Gulf Coast and have experienced these weather events, you may not realize that serious storms like hurricanes and tropical storms are often accompanied by tornadoes. Unfortunately, it is not only the wind damage from the hurricane or tropical storm that requires a safety plan, but also the very real threat of tornadoes. 

Ready.gov is a wonderful resource for identifying ways that you can prepare for a tornado, stay safe during a tornado, and stay safe after a tornado.

Like all serious storms, in preparing for a tornado, it is important to know your area's risk, to know the signs of a tornado, and to heed local warnings. Unfortunately, our risk is very high like most of the Southeast. This is why making a plan for your family and pet(s) before the damage is so important. Having a physical shelter whether that be a dedicated storm shelter ideally or a small, windowless room within the interior of the home on the lowest level and preparing for the potential for long term sheltering in place can have life-saving consequences.

After the Storm

Safety is still a priority after the storm. Damaged electrical or structural support is a very real threat if you experienced damage. We suggest that you look to Ready.gov for a list of ways you can stay safe following a tornado. Once all is clear, contact your locally owned restoration contractor SERVPRO of Baldwin County: 251-928-9625. We are a fully licensed and insured full-service general contractor and homebuilder, and as members of your community, we are always Here to Help.
