Water damage 101
Water damage occurs when pipes burst or water seeps into a basement through a leaky foundation. Water damage can be expensive to fix and in some cases home buyers want to hold sellers accountable for it. Who should pay for water damage depends on when it's discovered. Same is true for how to fix it - the fix will depend on how extensive the water damage is. Learn about water damage and how to resolve it here or at: ServiceMasterPR.com

Greener Cleaning
In commercial cleaning today, everybody wants the job done quicker and “greener.” ServiceMaster Professional Restoration is always here to help! here are some tips you can follow at home: When choosing cleaning chemicals, choose one just strong enough to do the job quickly and completely. Too much or too strong, a chemical can leave dangerous residue or affect Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Similarly, an alternative chemical that is too weak might be “greener” but if much more needs to be used to do the job, or it takes twice as long to apply, your green benefit is eliminated.

Three Key Questions:
The success of each and every decision made during the restorative drying process depends on the information upon which the decision was based. The process of restorative drying involves a continuous cycle of information gathering, interpretation, decision making, validation and adjustment... There are 3 questions that summarize the information that must be obtained, documented and evaluated throughout the restorative drying process. When left unanswered, these questions are the source of the most common deficiencies in inspection and documentation. The four key questions, or 'knows' of drying are:
•What's Wet?
•How Wet Is It?
•Is It Drying?
Inspection, monitoring and documentation answer these 3 questions. A gap in this process will result in improper drying, additional water damage, and compromised cleanliness and integrity. Proper instruments and tools are a key ingredient to successful completion in the drying process.
