Never Leave a Flame Unattended.

7/18/2022 (Permalink)

Kitchen stove burned from grease fire. Grease fires are scary.

Who knew cooking in your kitchen could turn into this? This tenant in Escondido was planning to have a peaceful dinner at the rental property before this situation occurred. It's important to always be prepared for the worst in the event that this happens. It can happen to anyone but there are ways you can be more prepared for it. Always keep clutter out of the kitchen. Wipe down all surfaces in the kitchen including floors and walls so there are no flammable spills or layers of film for the fire to catch onto easily. Keep baking soda in reach of the stove top to throw on any open flames. Baking soda cuts off the oxygen supply to a fire similar to a fire extinguisher. In the case the fire is not tameable immediately call your local fire department and evacuate the premises. Always use caution when cooking and if you do experience a disaster like this, SERVPRO of N. Vista/ San Marcos will be there to clean it up for you. (760)758-3454

Prepared for ANY Size Job.

Equipment in a warehouse. Our warehouse has enough equipment for multiple jobs of any size.

It is very important to use the proper equipment in a dry-out. 

Detection Equipment:

  • Moisture Sensors- used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, and walls.
  • Moisture Meters-used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture 
  • Thermohydrometers- measures both temperature and relative humidity. After getting these two readings we can calculate specific humidity, dew point and vapor pressure.

Extraction Equipment:

  • Extractors-used in cleaning carpets and upholstery and in removing water from floors following a water damage. Extractors can be truck-mounted or portable. 

Air Moving Equipment:

  • Air Movers- used in water damage restoration to enhance evaporation at the surface level, reducing drying time. This moisture is eliminated using the dehumidification equipment. 

Dehumidification Equipment:

  • Dehumidifiers- By extracting water vapor from the air dehumidifiers lower the humidity. They pull the moist, humid air in and discharge dry, warm air. The dry air acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from wet materials.
