Are You Prepared For Spring?

2/21/2024 (Permalink)

Life can get messy.  When it comes to stains, dusty HVAC ducts or otherwise worn down surfaces in need of a refresh, SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford can handle that mess for you!  Spring also brings its own risks of property damage.  Below, we list some of the ways that you can help to prevent property damage this spring!

• Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  Spring is the perfect time to make sure that everything is running smoothly and that your systems are intact in the event of an emergency.
• Have your air conditioning system inspected and cleaned.  Replace the filter in your air conditioning unit to eliminate the particles flowing through your system and into the air.  A new filter will also prolong the length of your system’s efficiency.
• Clean your ducts and dryer vent.  The dirt and dust in your ducts can build up over time while it circulates throughout your home in the air you breathe.  Lint and other debris will eventually build up in your dryer vent, potentially leading to fire damage if not properly removed.
• Clean your gutters.  A clogged drainage system means that the water could end up in your property, rather than flowing away from it.  Clear the areas of leaves and other debris, and make sure that water isn’t collecting around your foundation.
• Inspect the structure for any issues after the long winter.  Do you have missing roof tiles or damaged siding?  These issues should be repaired before they become a bigger concern, especially with the rainy season ahead.
• Make the necessary repairs to all windows and doors.  By sealing any cracks, this will prevent moisture from entering the property that can cause mold as the temperature rises.

Our certified professionals are ready for spring!  We are specifically trained in a variety of cleaning methods in addition to water and mold damage procedures that are often needed due to the rain and moisture that arises.  SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford can handle each form of damage from day one to help resolve your particular matter!
