SERVPRO of Highland / N. Redlands is a 24/7 company. Always ready to help you when you most need it.

"When I woke up this morning there was water everywhere," Mrs. Joyce, the homeowner explained to us when we arrived at the scene.  Her dishwasher gasket seal broke during the night and caused huge water damage throughout her entire home. Thankfully she knew what to do. She said this wasn't her first rodeo.  Mrs. Joyce experienced something similar several years ago unfortunately. SERVPRO of Highland / North Redlands is the first company that came to mind. It's funny how you see these things happen in movies with the soapy water coming out and everyone is laughing. Unfortunately, it's not the same in real life. Due to the water damage, Mrs. Joyce's entire kitchen and living areas had to be torn out. SERVPRO of Highland / North Redlands quickly went into action. They stored her belongings in containers to keep them clean during the demolition and reconstruction phase of the job. All damaged walls, cabinets, carpets and tile were removed. SERVPRO ensures to work fast and efficiently.  After the home was cleaned out, we set our industrial strength dehumidifiers and air blowers. This will prevent mold and harmful bacteria from forming. Once everything is cleared and dried, we proceed with reconstruction.  When water damage happens to your home Call SERVPRO of Highland / North Redlands to help make things look "Like it never even happened."

Let's Check Our Smoke Detectors.

Take a minute to check on your smoke detectors. It can save you and your family in case of a fire.

Have you checked your smoke detectors lately? No? It’s so quick and easy! Check your detectors with us!

First, if you’re not able to reach the detectors, grab a small stepping stool or ladder like our marketing rep Nancy in the photo. And of course, put on your banana heels while you’re at it! After, on the smoke detector should be a small test button. Press & hold the test button & after a few seconds you should hear a loud ear-piercing siren. Did you lose your hearing? That means your detector is working properly! If you don’t hear the siren or if it sounds weak it could be that you need to replace the batteries. As you can see ours is working fine!

Functional smoke detectors are very important to have in your home. They can help warn your family in time in case there is a fire this way you can safely exit the home.  According to the National Fire Protection Association three out of five home fire deaths are a result from fires without working smoke detectors.

Next time you are home check your smoke detectors and feel safe going to sleep that you have a working smoke alarm.

Mold Mushrooms invade this home from the inside out.

With our very busy lives it is easy to overlook simple things like small water leaks, mold, or even smells. 

I am one of those persons that is so busy every day that I rarely notice anything around the house until it's very visible or too late. Just like this picture, the homeowner just thought it was something like insulation, never gave it any thought until it grew. It turned out to be mold mushrooms growing inside her walls eek!!

I am going to give you quick tips on what to be looking for to prevent severe mold damage. 

1. Check underneath all your faucets in your home for small leaks. leaks equals mold. 
2. Look underneath your faucets to see if you see signs of past water damage. 
3. Look at your ceilings and check for brown/black spots, bubbling or chipped paint.

A slow leak can cause serious damage if left unchecked. Like in this picture, for example. The slow leak was from the restroom upstairs. When SERVPRO of Moreno Valley arrived to inspect the home, we found a mold infestation inside the walls. Our team worked fast to remove all the mold and get the home back to normal “Like it never even happened.” 

If you suspect you have a mold issue,, call SERVPRO of Moreno Valley right away. Our technicians will inspect your home, locate where the issue is coming from, and fix it.

The fire happened around 10 am while the homeowner was home. By the time she noticed, it had already been too late. In just two minutes a fire can become life-threatening. In five minutes a residence can be engulfed in flames. Thankfully firefighters arrived at the scene and were able to put it out before it could spread any further. Neighbors explained that there was fire coming out of the windows and there was a lot of black smoke everywhere. 

Thankfully the homeowner made it out safe and had no injuries. SERVPRO of Moreno Valley was dispatched onsite. We arrived shortly after and made sure the home was safe to enter to inspect. We boarded up the home to prevent anyone from entering and made arrangements with the homeowner to get started on the fire mitigation process.

We returned the next morning to begin the process. We provided a full content inventory to advise the homeowner of her salvageable/ non-salvageable items.
