Don't Let the Flames Rise: Handling Grease Fires

1/5/2024 (Permalink)

A grease fire on the stove causes damage to walls and ceiling.

Grease fires are a serious kitchen hazard that can escalate quickly, turning a simple cooking task into a dangerous situation. The combustible nature of cooking oils makes it crucial for every home chef to understand the causes and prevention of grease fires. To minimize the risk, avoid leaving cooking unattended, use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature, and keep flammable items away from the stove. In the event of a grease fire, never use water – it can intensify the flames. Instead, cover the flames with a metal lid or use a fire extinguisher designed for kitchen fires. Stay vigilant, stay prepared, and ensure a safer cooking environment for you and your loved ones. Should you experience a grease fire, call your local SERVPRO®to assist in restoring your home.

In the bustling world of business, the significance of a clean and sanitary environment often goes unnoticed. Commercial cleaning services play a pivotal role in maintaining not only the aesthetic appeal but also the health and productivity of a workspace. Beyond the gleaming surfaces, these unsung heroes combat germs, allergens, and pollutants, creating a safer and more inviting atmosphere for employees and clients alike. Professional cleaning extends the lifespan of assets, fosters employee morale, and enhances the overall brand image. Investing in commercial cleaning services is not just about appearances; it's a strategic move towards creating a healthier, more efficient, and reputable workspace that reflects the commitment to excellence. Contact your local SERVPRO® for any commercial sized cleaning needs. We offer deep cleaning of large spaces as well as duct cleanings for commercial buildings. 

Beneath the Surface: Crawlspaces Need Attention Too

Crawlspaces, often hidden beneath our homes, play a crucial role in the overall health and stability of the living space above. These neglected areas require attention and regular maintenance. Proper ventilation in crawlspaces prevents moisture buildup, mitigating the risk of mold growth and structural damage. Insulating these spaces contributes to energy efficiency, regulating indoor temperatures and reducing utility costs. Regular inspections for pests, water leaks, mold growth, and damaged insulation are essential to avoid potential issues. Investing time and resources in crawlspace care safeguards your home's structural integrity and the overall safety of your home. Don't overlook what lies beneath – crawlspaces deserve your attention and care. If you are worried about water damage or mold growth in your crawlspace, contact your local SERVPRO® for an inspection.

Forklift Operators are the Backbone of this Great Nation

The guy that owns this house decided to wait until The Big Game was over to call for help. Now look at his wall! Horrendous!

If your home or business is one of the thousands of homes or businesses that will fall prey to Water Damage, you need to know that it’s not something you can procrastinate on. If your basement or bathroom floods due to plumbing, your attic has pools of standing water due to roof leaks, or even if a general mishap causes water to spray throughout your home, you must handle it immediately.

Maybe sending that letter in the mail can wait.

Maybe finally organizing your desk or car trunk can wait.

Heck, maybe you can even wait to mow the lawn!

But you cannot delay fixing your water damage. Call SERVPRO of Kernersville if you’re suffering from water damage and are in need of some cleanup and restoration. We can be there in a matter of hours!
