Fire Escape Planning Tips

The following are several tips that could potentially save your life, or the life of an employee, customer or loved one should a fire break out in your home or business.

* Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home or business.
* Test smoke alarm batteries every month and change them at least once a year.
* Consider installing a ten-year lithium battery-powered smoke alarm.
* Practice finding your way out of the building with eyes closed, crawling or staying low and feeling your way out.
* Remember to escape first, then notify the fire department.

SERVPRO Duct Cleaning Process

Happy Monday! It is going to be a great week. Today is all about your Ducts. If you have asthma or allergies like some of my family members, you are going to want to read this.

* The process begins by using patented equipment including a roto-scraper, which automatically adapts to the duct's shape and diameter while traveling through the duct, removing debris and filth before vacuuming begins.

* Next a powerful push-pull air delivery and collection system transfers the debris from the ducting to a 16-gallon container.

* Air is filtered through a HEPA filtration system, removing 99.97 percent of particles in the airstream. HEPA filters capture debris and keep the enviroment clean.

* As an optional process, sealant or coating product may be sprayed to address odor or microbial concerns.

* Filters will either be cleaned or replaced to remove odor and dirt.
