Contents Claim Inventory Services
5/26/2022 (Permalink)
Often when people think of restoration, or the restoration industry, they picture groups of trained professionals coming to their home or business, ripping out some drywall and carpet, and setting fans and dehumidifiers to dry out an area. What most people do not think about, is where do their belongings go that were either affected by the intruding damage or are near the affected area. Many residents do not have extra space for their personal belongings or the proper cleaning equipment for contents affected by water or fire damage.
Luckily for home and business owners in Anne Arundel County, SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian offers contents claim inventory services. Through this service, our restoration professionals carefully pack out any contents, move them to our warehouse and restore them to preloss condition. Through this service, we are capable of providing room-by-room detailed contents listings and track these items in a detailed report through Microsoft Excel. In our spreadsheet, we will list the type of content, the condition, the quantity and the post-loss condition. These items are categorized as either total loss items, questionable items and restorable items.
If you or someone you know has recently experienced a fire or water loss, call SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian at 410-867-3590!

Moisture Sensores – used to detect moisture in carpets and carpet padding
Moisture Meters – used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials and provides accurate readings to monitor the drying process
Thermo-hygrometers – measure both temperature and relative humidity

Are Your Pets Ready for Winter?
1/6/2022 (Permalink)
We all love the snow, most of us anyway. Going on a wintry wonderland walk is always peaceful and can help clear your mind, especially with your pet by your side. Here at SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian, we love our pets as much as we love getting emergency calls. These winter weather walks can be hazardous for your pet so here is some advice from our franchise:
Exposure to winter’s cold, dry air and chilly precipitation can cause chapped paws and itchy, flaking skin for your pet. In addition to this, winter walks can become outright dangerous if your pet licks chemicals from ice-melting substances off its paws.
- Keep your home humidified and dry your pets when they come inside to avoid itchy skin.
- Never shave your dog in the winter. Instead, go for a short trim until the weather warms up.
- Bathe your pets as little as possible during freezing weather.
- Applying petroleum jelly or using booties could help protect your pet’s paws.
- Feed your pet a little extra during the winter. This additional scoop of food provides extra calories.
- Remember, if it is too cold for you, it is too cold for your pet.
We hope you enjoyed these cold weather safety tips for your pets! Stay warm this winter!

Serious and Sensitive Hoarding Cleanup

Hoarding
We’ve all seen the realty TV shows about hoarding. But, the reality is, who do you turn to for help in your local community when you have a friend or family member that is a hoarder? Each case Is very different, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, but SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian is here to make it “Like it never even happened.”
Reality TV show, Hoarding: Buried Alive has been around since 2010. On the documentary show, with the help of experts, men and women fight to find a way to defeat their unhealthy obsession, hoarding.
People with hoarding disorder excessively save items that others may view as worthless. They have persistent difficulty getting rid of or parting with possessions, leading to clutter that disrupts their ability to use their living or work spaces.
Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats, and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard.
Hoarding is a serious situation and our team treats each case with respect for the individual. When you need us, SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian is here to help.

"Like It Never Even Happened"

One candle caused a fire
The national slogan for SERVPRO® is "Like it never even happened." At SERVPRO® of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian, we embodied this tagline with the work we performed at an Edgewater property fire. Not only did we mitigate the fire and water damage, we also reconstructed the property.
This house fire was started by one candle. The fire ripped through this family's home causing a significant amount of physical damage to four rooms. Fortunately, the family was unharmed physically. Firefighters stopped the fire, but left behind water damage. The water damage became a secondary loss for the home. This fire ended up being a large insurance loss, but the good news is that SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian was asked by the insured to mitigate the fire as well as reconstruct the damaged rooms in the property.
SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian specializes in fire and water restoration. We’ve received advance training in restoration techniques, and we have the experience and specialized equipment to quickly restore your property. This “restore first” mentality also allows us to get your home or business back to pre-fire condition quicker and with less disruption.

We can also provide painting, new cabinetry and even a new kitchen sink! We are a woman-owned business that has worked in the mitigation industry for 44 years.
Our mission, tagline, and slogan is “Like it never even happened”, and we are happy to be your one stop shop.

Phil Dumenil, SERVPRO Commercial Marketing Representative
There are many qualities that separate SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian from the competition. But, one major difference is we help your business put together a disaster plan called an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP).
Did you know that as many as 50% of businesses close down following a disaster? The businesses that do survive have some type of preparedness plan in place. At SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian we take this statistic seriously. That’s why we provide this free ERP service that prepares your business for whatever happens.
The ERP is a concise profile document/app that contains only the critical information needed in the event of an emergency. It lists specific contact information for your insurance carrier, HVAC company, and other critical points of contact. In addition, the ERP identifies the location for emergency shut off valves, like water and gas. The ERP can also be accessed through a mobile application. Everyone always has their phone on them; now, they can have the plan right at their fingertips.
No one plans on a disaster, but you can plan to be “Ready for whatever happens.”
