With the ball dropping us into the New Year, this is a great time to learn more tips and tricks to practice throughout 2021 to prevent damages to your home.  

House Fires

-Cook with caution and never leave any turned-on stoves unattended.

-Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen

-Clean out your dryer vent often and remove any lint after each load. This will also help your clothes dry faster!

-Hire an inspector. This will ensure that your house has a lower chance of catching on fire. You might save a lot of money and time by taking safety precautions. 

Bursting Frozen pipes

-Always keep the heat on even if you are on vacation in the winter. Leaving your thermostat around 50 degrees Fahrenheit can prevent your pipes from freezing.

 -Leave cabinet doors open to allow warm air to reach the pipes.

 -Allow your faucet to drip a little during cold days to release the pressure.

Mold

-Dry out a wet area properly. If the damaged area is too large or in areas that cannot be easily accessible, you can contact us for mitigation and restoration.

-Add a dehumidifier to your house to remove extra moisture.

-As soon as you find mold, call a professional to remediate and mitigate.

SERVPRO of Pinehurst/Moore & Montgomery Counties can assist you with any of these damages. It is best to contact us as soon as possible, to prevent the damage from increasing.
