Fire damage requires quick action and response time
10/4/2022 (Permalink)
When you experience a fire in your home or business, call the team at SERVPRO of Flower Mound.
A fire is sudden and can be scary for any business or homeowner. No matter how big or small, a fire can cause damage to a structure within minutes. Even if the fire itself is minimal and put out quickly, smoke damage can devastate the structure far beyond what the fire actually touches. As quickly as fire can cause serious damage to a building, it is imperative that you just as quickly address the damage.
Our team is available 24-hours to provide emergency services before a soot chemical reaction occurs on surfaces. After a fire is extinguished, soot residue begins to cover every surface. The smoke can also settle into all fabrics causing secondary damage if not addressed quickly. We have a specialized wash system capable of restoring textiles back to preloss condition.
Mitigation requires quick action so the faster our team is called out to the site to perform fire, smoke, and soot cleanup, the better the results including lower claims cost. Give our team a call when you experience a fire!

This isn't something you see every day but we are equipped to help resolve this quickly!
While hot water heaters clear up living space being placed in attics, when they fail it causes severe water damage to the rooms underneath. In this case it seemed to be raining in several rooms for this Flower Mound resident.
Thank you to local State Farm Agent Tony Jones for reaching out to our team in order to assist his insured with their emergency services. Our crew was onsite fast to begin the restoration process and reduce as much additional damage as possible. We were able to walk the customer through the process, explain the next steps, and review what they can expect over the next few days.

One hallway of the building after drying equipment was placed.
If you are from Texas you never know what the weather will bring each week. We experienced the hottest July on record since 2011 stretching 21 days of triple digit temperatures while also being the second longest stretch of consecutive days without rainfall at 58! Fast forward to mid August and we now have the wettest August on record with 10.38 inches of rain in one day!
You can imagine the effects this had on residential and commercial properties including this business in Los Colinas, Texas. Water was pouring from the ceiling in multiple areas of the property causing damage to adjacent rooms. We were able to locate where the water was coming from and informed building maintenance. Over 200 air movers were placed to help restore this property!
Mother Nature can be unpredictable but our team is always prepared to help in emergency situations such as these.

How to address a toilet that is overflowing.
8/24/2022 (Permalink)
Don't stress, call SERVPRO of Flower Mound!
Help! My toilet is overflowing!
An overflowing toilet is a problem everyone will likely deal with at some point. When water overflows from the bowl, chances are the culprit is a clogged toilet drain—usually an easy fix with some basic tools.
First, turn off the toilet’s water supply, on the wall behind the toilet. If you can’t find the water supply to stop the toilet overflowing, take the top off the tank and lift the float ball or cup high enough to stop the water from running. If that does not work, the shut off valve for the water supply to the house is generally located near the water heater.
Should overflow continue once the main water supply is off, you’re dealing with sewage backup, a serious situation due to the hazardous nature of the sewage water. If you are on a municipal septic system, you may need to call the city. If you have a septic tank, you’ll need a plumbing company that can flush out your system.
Water damage gets worse the more time that goes by. Call SERVPRO of Flower Mound / Lewisville right away to minimize the damage. We will work with your insurance every step of the way! 972-420-4771
