When a local facility located here in Lewisville experienced a very large chemical spill throughout both of their warehouses, they knew exactly who to call! 

It's important to know that not all chemicals are treated the same so it's imperative to call the professionals experienced in these types of situations. Our Lead Emergency Crew arrived onsite first to begin applying the absorbing agent. Once it set for the proper amount of time and was cleared, the sweeping compound was applied for the second Emergency Crew to begin the final clean. 

If you experience a chemical spill or biohazard of any kind, give our trusted team at SERVPRO of Flower Mound/Lewisville a call! We will answer your questions and assist you until our crews arrive!

How To Help Prevent Water Damage to your Commercial Space:

  1. Train all employees on the location of the water shut off valves and make sure they are easily accessible.
  2. Find out if your business is located on a flood plain and if your area offers programs for business owners.
  3. Conduct regular inspections of your HVAC units, roof, water heaters, refrigerators, sinks, toilets, and any other area you have that may have a water leak.
  4. Make sure your insurance policy is up to date and you are insured.
  5. Keep any documents, inventory, or anything critical to your business' survival at least a few feet off the ground.
  6. Setup an Emergency Ready Profile of your business with our team in order to keep all of your property information accessible by phone, tablet, online document, or PDF.

Utilizing Matterport Technology After a Fire Loss

9/13/2023 (Permalink)

Dollhouse view of a fire in a residential property This is the "Dollhouse View" from the Matterport scan that allows you to see an overview of the property.

When you are looking to buy a house and search through Zillow or Realtor.com, they typically have photos throughout the home and sometimes a virtual tour option. Did you know that SERVPRO of Flower Mound/Lewisville staff are equipped with the same technology? 

When a customer calls with a fire loss, the first step we take in the restoration process is to perform a Matterport scan of the property. This allows us to capture the damage caused, the contents within the home, and an accurate detail for the scope of work to discuss with the property owner and insurance company. 

The scan provides a virtual tour of the home which is beneficial for scope review and estimate approvals, documentation of non-restorable items, and a faster view of the property for the adjuster prior to them being able to schedule an onsite visit. 

How quickly does mold grow after water damage?

Should I repair water damage myself?

Maybe you had a water leak from a plumbing problem or from a leaky refrigerator. Maybe we had a major storm, hurricane, or tornado sweep through the Dallas area. Either way, now your home has water damage. Depending on how severe the water damage, you are probably asking yourself, “Should I clean up the water damage myself or hire a professional?”. 

The following are a couple things to consider. First, hopefully, the water damage will be covered by your insurance company. SERVPRO of Flower Mound/Lewisville works with all insurance companies in the area and knows what each company is looking for (this will make things easier on you). Second, if the area is not properly and completely dried out, even in the areas you cannot see, the structure will more than likely suffer secondary damage. What is secondary damage? Mold growing in your home is known as secondary damage after a water damage event. Mold needs moisture to grow and it can grow within 24-48 hours.

Time is a factor after a water damage. If mold is already growing in your home after a water damage, SERVPRO of Flower Mound/Lewisville is a Licensed Remediation Company with two Licensed Remediation Contractors on staff. We are here to help. Give us a call today!
