WHAT ARE THE HIDDEN HEALTH HAZARDS OF SMOKE AND SOOT
9/12/2022 (Permalink)
What are The Hidden Health Hazards of Smoke and Soot?
Fires are horrible, however, the effects on your health can be present long after the flames have been extinguished due to the residual damaging soot in your home. After a fire, smoke and soot are left behind and are a reminder of the devastation. Let SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville evaluate your situation. (972)548-6044
Residual Smoke and Soot are Dangerous.
If you think the residual smoke and soot are just smelly and unsightly, think again. Health can be adversely affected by exposure. People with weakened immune systems are in more danger, especially the elderly and children. Did you know? The first occupation health act was by the British Parliament when they passed the Chimney Sweepers Act. The adverse health effects of smoke and soot are extensively documented.
During combustion, materials do not burn the same. Materials, within a home, are composed of an array of chemicals when burned produce harmful byproducts some of which may be toxic. Plastics, foams, fabrics, carpets, wood products, synthetic fabrics, wool, and asbestos-containing materials could be present and when burned could result in complicated health hazards making fire restoration a dangerous and challenging task.
Exposure Methods
Skin, eyes, inhalation, and ingestion are all ways you can be exposed to smoke and soot. Harmful airborne particulate can be invisible making it hard to figure out immediately whether you were exposed. Soot in the bloodstream is a serious matter resulting in respiratory issues, shortness of breath, bronchitis, asthma, stroke, heart attack, cancer, and premature death.
Did you know the smoke from wood shares chemicals found in cigarette smoke?
The Risk can Linger from Smoke and Soot
As mentioned, safety does not automatically return once flames are extinguished. If not addressed quickly and properly, the danger can linger. Adequate safety equipment (respiratory, skin, and eye protection) are vital in the reduction of the exposure risk. Additional dangers lurk, due to firefighting efforts, such as water and mold. Proper ventilation should be restored as soon as possible to restore indoor air quality. This is best with HEPA filtration and adsorption (activated carbon) to preserve air quality.
Professional tools, knowledge, and expertise are at the heart of thorough and safe fire restoration.
SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville is available to help if you have experienced a fire-related incident. No matter the size, let us help in keeping your family safe. (972)548-6044

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MITIGATION AND RESTORATION
4/11/2022 (Permalink)
Mitigation vs Restoration
With spring upon us, which brings intense storms and the potential of damage, it is important North Texans understand the difference between mitigation and restoration. Damage can happen any time of the year, but the potential is immensely increased during the spring.
SERVPRO Northeast Collin County/Greenville is the company you can depend on when disaster strikes. We are prepared to help you get back on your feet, but we also want to provide the information you need to be ready.
Water, Storm, and Fire Damage
If you live in North Texas particularly North Collin County or Greenville and surrounding areas, you understand the effects a severe storm or fire can have on you, your family, and your home. You have probably heard the terms "mitigation" and "restoration" used quite a bit, and you may be unclear about the difference. Let us take a look at what each means.
Mitigation
Mitigation is your home’s first line of defense after being damaged and includes measures used to stabilize the situation before more damage can occur. SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville will respond swiftly and take the following steps:
- Inspecting damage
- Making sure the structure is stable
- Boarding up windows
- Setting up tarps
- Removing furniture and other items
- Storing property
- Extracting water
Additionally, these are the first steps in dealing with the damage, but depending on the seriousness, further work may be required to prevent bigger problems and eliminate the possibility of health effects from mold or other pathogens.
Restoration
Restoration is the next step after mitigation has been successfully completed. It is the process in which your property is brought back to the state it was in before the storm damage occurred. SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville will clean and sanitize any parts of the structure that have been exposed to mold, bacteria, or other pathogens, and will disinfect and restore any salvageable items that have been removed.
Unfortunately, the restoration process can be lengthy. It all depends on the severity of the storm damage. After everything has been dried and disinfected, repairs range from replacing some drywall and painting to rebuilding entire sections of the structure.
SERVPRO Offers Both
SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville offers both mitigation and restoration. Understanding difference in the two will make the recovery process much easier.

Commercial Damage Response During the Shutdown
COMMERCIAL DAMAGE RESPONSE DURING THE SHUTDOWN
The coronavirus pandemic has affected all of us one way or another. For commercial entities, the resulting shutdown has been especially detrimental, due to the lack of human oversite. Employees were required, by the shelter in place order, to stay home leaving businesses and commercial properties empty and vulnerable. For one north Collin County commercial building this exasperated an unfortunate event.

We travel all across Northeast Collin County and Greenville to service our customers!
When you experience a damage to your home, be sure the team you call in knows their stuff! SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville is highly trained and follows strict industry guide lines and we go through, this 6 step process to make your water loss, "Like it never even happened."
STEP 1
Emergency contact: Call SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville 972-548-6044
The restoration process begins when you call us. SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville is available 24 hours a day for water emergencies, large or small. When you are dealing with water damage, immediate action is crucial. Even a delay of a few hours can greatly increase the severity of the water damage.
When you call, we will ask several questions regarding your water damage emergency. These questions will help us determine what equipment and resources to bring, including how many trained SERVPRO Professionals may be needed.
STEP 2
INSPECTION & WATER DAMAGE ASSESSMENT: When responding to a water damage emergency, we begin with a detailed inspection of your home or property, including a damage assessment. At this stage, our professionals are trying to determine the scope of the damage so that we can develop an appropriate plan of action.
STEP 3
WATER REMOVAL/ WATER EXTRACTION: After the inspection and damage assessment step, the water extraction process begins. This step removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property.
STEP 4
DRYING & DEHUMIDIFICATION: Once the excess water has been removed, the floors and walls may appear dry, but a quick inspection will reveal they are wet to the touch. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and flooring materials, are porous and therefore retain water. This retained water can cause the materials to break down, warp, or cause mold damage.
STEP 5
CLEANING & SANITIZING: Your walls, flooring, and ceiling will most likely require professional cleaning services. In addition to cleaning your property’s structure, we will clean your furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other restorable belongings damaged by the water. Most flooding and water damage also require professional odor removal and deodorization since wet materials have a very distinct odor.
STEP 6
RESTORATION: The final step, is the process of restoring your home or business to its pre-water damage condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet, or may entail major repairs, such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.

FLOOD SEASON IN TEXAS
Floods are one of the most common and widespread natural disasters in United States. Whether your home or business is near a coastline, near a river, or even in the desert, there is always potential for flood damage. FEMA reports in the last five years, all 50 states have experienced floods or flash floods. Just because you haven’t experienced a flood in the past does not mean you won’t in the future. In fact, nearly 20% of all flood insurance claims come from moderate-to-low risk areas, and even just one inch of flood damage in an average home can cost you up to $27,000 worth of damages.
According to the American Red Cross, floods cause more damage in the U.S. every year than any other weather-related disaster. The American Red Cross offers the following flood safety tips.
- Stay away from floodwaters. If you come up on a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, stop, turn around, and go another way. Six inches of swiftly moving water can sweep you off your feet.
- If you approach a flooded road while driving, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.
- Keep children out of the water. They are curious and often lack judgment about running water or contaminated water.
If a flood does strike your home or business, contact SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville at 972-548-6044.

Protect Your Home by Knowing Common and Lesser-known Fire Hazards | SERVPRO® of Northeast Collin County/Greenville
11/9/2018 (Permalink)
Candles are very pretty and smell great too, but left unattended, they can cause a very serious house fire.
Use caution when using candles.
In this blog, we’ll be diving into two of the most common causes of household fires.
Nobody likes to think about the possibility of seeing their home damaged by fire. However, it’s a harsh reality for far too many Americans.
One way you can be proactive in protecting your home is to educate yourself about fire hazards and how to identify them.
<h4caution-with-candles:6973971da6c835a966786f2d96c6f9e0">Use Caution With Candles
According to the National Fire Protection Association, during a five-year period that covered 2011 to 2015, fire departments in the United States responded to an estimated 8,700 home structure fires per year that were started by candle usage. All totaled, there were 82 deaths, 800 injuries and $295 million in direct property damage reported.
Of all the candle fires during this time span, 37 percent started in bedrooms and were responsible for 36 percent of the associated deaths and 51 percent of the associated injuries. There were an average of 24 home candle fires reported per day during those five years, with December topping out as the prime time of the year for home fires caused by candles. These fires caused 2 percent of reported home fires, with 3 percent resulting in death and 7 percent with injuries.
Be sure the candle is kept at least one foot away from anything that could burn and is in a sturdy holder that won’t easily tip over. Always blow out all candles before leaving a room or going to sleep—and never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home.
<h4is-the-leading-cause-of-home-fire-fatalities:6973971da6c835a966786f2d96c6f9e0">Smoking Is the Leading Cause of Home Fire Fatalities
Smokers caused fires that resulted in 570 deaths, 1,140 injuries and $426 million in property damage, per the Coalition for Fire-Safe Cigarettes. While cooking is the leading cause of home fires, smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. In 2014, cigarettes, pipes and cigars caused an estimated 17,200 home structure fires.
One out of four smoking-material fire fatalities is not the smoker whose cigarette started the fire. It is the innocent bystander.
The safest place to smoke is outside. Most deaths result from fires that have started in living rooms, family rooms or bedrooms.
Try using fire-safe cigarettes. A deep, sturdy ashtray should be used. Douse all cigarette butts and ashes in water or sand before throwing them away.
<h4for-lesser-known-fire-hazards:6973971da6c835a966786f2d96c6f9e0">Watch for Lesser-known Fire Hazards
While candles and smoking are two of the most common causes of home structure fires, there are also other lesser-known hazards that could be present in your home.
Did you know that some kinds of glassware in your home could be a fire risk? When sunlight passes through them, the concentrated beam could ignite flammable materials, which is why it’s best to keep glass accessories out of direct sunlight.
Another possible fire hazard is dust bunnies collecting near electrical sockets and floor heaters. Regularly vacuuming and cleaning hard-to-reach areas like behind the entertainment system can help prevent buildup.
Watch for loose outlets in your home. The movement of these electrical outlets could loosen the connected wires and create dangerous arcing sparking.
Fire and smoke damage can be devastating to homes. Water damage from firefighting efforts can also cause significant damage. If your home is damaged by fire or smoke, SERVPRO® of Northeast Collin County/Greenville is here for you and to help restore your home to pre-fire condition.
