Storms are stressful and cause so much damage to everything they come in contact with. The tree in this image was pulled out of the ground from the roots! When it toppled over, it fell onto the neighbor's house. The damage was extensive, and there is not much that could prevent a situation like this. The best thing to help avoid this is to cut down any large trees that are too close to your house. This tree was cut into sections as a means of disposal, and those sections were set aside to be used as firewood

Hurricane season begins June 1st to November 30th, but the peak time of year for hurricanes and storms is from mid-August to mid-October. This house was just lucky enough to only have damage to this portion of the ceiling and roof. We came in and dried out and repaired all of this to make it "Like it never even happened."

We have been COVID cleaning! We are very detailed and work with you, so we're not breaking the bank. Health and Safety are a priority! Call us to get an estimate for COVID cleaning!

Covid-19 has been looming over the country, affecting each of us differently. Some have been affected directly, and others have not been affected much more than needing to wear a mask. Here at SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County, it has affected our personal protective equipment level and what kind of jobs we work on.

When a fire consumes anything, it destroys it. In this picture is a charred wall and melted thermostat. Notice that even the paint on the wall began to crack and burn. Everything that is damaged in this instance needs to be replaced because it is not salvageable.

Fires spread extremely fast, and soot can find an entrance to anything. This entire house was charred due to a fire in the kitchen. Thankfully, the joists in the attic were not damaged so none of those need to be replaced.

Many people do not consider that a fire loss will also result in a water loss. The fire department has to put out the flames, and water is the best extinguisher.

Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as black mold is a variety of microfungus that produces its conidia in slime heads. Call us directly if you think your home or facility has been affected by any type of mold.

At SERVPRO of South Cabarrus, every team member participates. The owner of our franchise is a master technician. When he's on the job, you can rest assured he knows what has to be done. He enjoys being in the field as much as our technicians do!

We hosted an awesome event where we fogged and disinfected for our local fire departments, medical personnel, and pastors' vehicles. In this photo, our technician is fogging one of the local fire trucks.

Though it may be a little expensive, it is undoubtedly worth it, in the long run, to keep your home up to code.  The light fixture in this room caught fire simply because the electrical wiring was not up to code. Many older homes are not up to code, so if you live in a classic old fashioned house, make sure you're home is up to code!

When there is a fire, at any property type, it is essential to try to keep your wits about you. It is always unsafe to reenter the fire-damaged location. Do not enter the fire loss unless you are permitted by a professional. This is for your safety.

When this basement was discovered to be extremely wet, the homeowners were very concerned about their carpet. More often than not, we can salvage the wet carpet, but carpet pad cannot be saved. We extract the water from the carpet to make it lighter for our technicians to carry out in trash bags. Doing this also helps the carpet dry faster because there are no wet things below it, and carpet pad is impossible to dry.

It's very important to check the exterior of your home regularly. You never know what you'll find. Our technicians found this very large crack between the foundation of this home and the rest of the house. This has been considered the source of the water loss since our technicians could sick their hand inside there and touch the interior wall. 

When this crazy storm passed through this area it knocked down so many trees. Several houses had to be boarded up and tarped. This house was so bad half of the room was ripped open by a fallen tree. The roof and ceiling lay on the floor in this bedroom with all the insulation with it. 

When a large tree fell on this house it split open the roof and pushed through the ceiling. Large portions of the house had to be gutted. A tarp was placed on the roof to prevent any more water damage. The tree was removed and the damaged parts of the home were cleaned up. 

During a storm, sometimes, you have no idea what the surrounding area will look like when the storm passes. In this case, a huge tree fell on the roof and caused extensive damage. Portions of the walls were boarded up for safety, and the roof was tarped to prevent further water damage.

This kitchen located in a commercial building had severe mold growth on the bottom of the cabinets and covering the floor. We removed the cabinets and encapsulated the floor to deter further mold growth.

At this commercial water loss turned mold loss we found a wall that was absolutely covered in mold! It was so bad the crew had to stop working so they could change into more appropriate personal protective equipment.

The dust is really bad on this vent at a commercial location. A lot of commercial locations don't always think to clean their vents. Unless assigned to, most employees don't spend a lot of time cleaning much else but their desks. It is always a good thing to dust off your desk and to clean your vents. Who knows what germs are thriving in the dust that's trapped on your surfaces.

When you think of dusting your vents, most of the time you're thinking of the outside or even the back of the vent cover. We feel as though it is our responsibility to inform our clients that cleaning the duct system is just as important as cleaning the vent plate. You would be amazed at the amount of dust and bacteria that builds in your ducts.

Putting plastic over the electronics at a water loss seems like a common practice, but there are some companies that do not think in such detail. When people ask why they should choose SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County, we tell them "Because we care."

After a pretty nasty storm, this homeowner found their walls to be destroyed! Often times this happens because the shingles have loosened or there is a hole in the roof somewhere that has yet to be found.

This warehouse is HUGE! So big that birds have made it their home. With these new residents in this commercial building came a whole lot of messes. These birdies have certainly left their mark! We were hired to clean up this mess of bird poo. We have all the tools and cleaning products to clean this warehouse up and make this bird poo "Like it never even happened."

On a recent commercial fire loss, we took pictures of the unit before it had been touched too much. We took notice of how soot so heavily coats everything down to the tiniest crevice. 

Our production manager found that when the house was built someone, drilled a screw right through a vital wire powering the lights in the living room. We informed the homeowner and suggested they call an electrician we referred to repair the wire for them. We genuinely care about our client's safety. We want to do the whole job, and we want it done the right way. If we had to choose the easy way or the right way, we are choosing the right way. That is why people select SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County.

2018 Fire and Life Safety Bowl was a great success. Each year these 5th and 6th graders compete against each other for Cabarrus County Schools. After eliminations, the county level winner will then go on to compete at the State Level. What an honor. Last year's winning team was Bethel Elementary. SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County is proud to serve this board.

This product can be used anytime the user is looking to quickly identify and locate water damage or verify that a surface has been efficiently dried. The infrared screen reads surface temperature only and identifies areas of investigation. Companies like SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County still use or confirm readings with Moisture meters  but this amazing technology can help us identifiy all water loss areas.

When water evaporates, it drops in temperature, an infrared camera can allow you to quickly identify those temperature differences and locate the water. We always scan every part of house and document everything.

Safety Palooza 2017 was a great success. We decided that since part of the day includes a fun raffle and it focuses on Bike and Helmet Safety that we should supply the bikes. Fire Fighter Marshall from Paw Patrol with helmet, elbow and knee pads was quit the hit. Some little boy is very happy with that choice! The girls bike was super cool with all its bright colors and sassy helmet!
