Broken Pipe Causes Flooding and Water Damage to Wall in Chino Home?
11/14/2023 (Permalink)
When broken pipes cause water damage in your Chino area home, trust SERVPRO of Chino / Chino Hills
When I heard the water gushing inside my wall in my Chino home, I thought I was having an audio hallucination, that is until the large water spot started forming on my wall! Oh no! My neighbor showed me how to shut off the main water valve to prevent further damage and my insurance adjuster told me to call the SERVPRO of Chino / Chino Hills team, and I’m so glad I did!
The team arrived quickly and inspected and tested the area to determine the extent of damage and find out how far the moisture had traveled. Then they used powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly remove the water from my property. Once the bulk of the water was removed, the team set up air blowers and monitored and documented the drying process to ensure the area returned to normal humidity levels.
Then the area was cleaned and sanitized to remove odors and deodorize my property. And then they performed minor repairs by installing new sheetrock, drywall and painting the wall. Now my home looks like it did before the water damage!

Older Plumbing System Fails and Floods Sleepy Hollow Home?
11/7/2023 (Permalink)
We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in San Bernardino County.
Our local Chino/Chino Hills team responds to more water damage emergencies than any other form of property damage emergency in Sleepy Hollow. One common cause of pipe failure is age-related deterioration.
Homes that have older plumbing systems that are made of materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene, can degrade over time. Galvanized steel pipes are prone to rust and corrosion, while polybutylene pipes are known for becoming brittle and being prone to cracking with age. Eventually, these pipes can develop weak points and leaks. In some cases, homeowners may need to proactively replace older plumbing systems to avoid major pipe failures, extensive water damage, and costly repairs.
To prevent these common forms of pipe failure, regular maintenance and inspections of your home's plumbing system are crucial. Additionally, it's important to be aware of the materials used in your plumbing and consider replacing older pipes to avoid potential issues in the future.

Butterfield Ranch Home Damaged by Strong Winds During Powerful Storm?
10/24/2023 (Permalink)
We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in San Bernardino County.
Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is trained and certified to restore storm damage in Butterfield Ranch, no matter how extensive the damage is. San Bernardino County has experienced some powerful storms this year, and after any storm, it is a good idea to inspect your property for visible signs of damage. Here are three common forms of storm damage to look for:
Debris and Fallen Trees: Check for debris strewn across your property, such as branches, leaves, and other items that might have been carried by the wind. Fallen trees or large branches can also be a clear indicator of storm damage.
Roof and Shingle Damage: Inspect your roof for any visible damage. Look for missing or broken shingles, as well as any signs of lifting or displacement. If you notice exposed areas of the roof or potential leaks, it's a sign that the storm may have caused damage.
Damaged Windows and Siding: Examine all of your windows and siding for cracks, chips, or other signs of impact. Severe storms, especially those with hail or strong winds, can cause damage to windows and siding materials. Look for any visible changes in appearance or structural integrity.

Kitchen Fire in Chino Hills Home Leaves Behind Smoke and Soot Damage?
10/17/2023 (Permalink)
We are trusted leaders in fire damage restoration services in San Bernardino County.
Even small, contained kitchen fires can leave behind smoke and soot damage that will require professional cleaning to restore the damage to pre-smoke damage conditions. October marks Residential Fire Awareness Month, and this year the theme is cooking safety. Unattended cooking is the top cause of kitchen fires in the United States, and the National Fire Protection Association urges people to remain in the kitchen while cooking over an open flame. Additionally, the NFPA suggests:
- Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don’t use the stove or stovetop.
- Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, boiling, or broiling food.
- If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the kitchen while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
- Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels, or curtains — away from your stovetop.
Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is highly trained and certified to restore smoke and soot damage quickly and efficiently. Every fire event leaves behind a unique signature based on what fueled the flames. Our technicians pretest every surface prior to cleaning to ensure they are using the most effective means for removing the oily soot and smoke odor.

Smoke From Nearby Fire Causes Damage to Commercial Property in Hesperia?
10/17/2023 (Permalink)
Commercial businesses rely on us to restore smoke damage in San Bernardino County.
Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams are trusted leaders in commercial fire damage restoration services. Every fire leaves behind a unique signature based on what fueled the flames. Our technicians use advanced equipment and techniques to identify the type of smoke and eliminate smoke odor and residue effectively.
Air Scrubber or Filter
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.
Ozone Generator
This is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.
Thermal Fogging
This is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.
Hydroxyl Generator
This method is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.
Vapor Modification
Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.
Call Us Today!
When your commercial business or home in Hesperia has smoke damage, our Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams will remove the smoke odor and restore your smoke damage “Like it never even happened.” Call us today at 760-244-2566.

Check Electrical Systems: Regularly inspect your property's electrical systems. Replace or repair damaged wiring and outlets promptly. Avoid overloading circuits.
Store Flammable Materials Safely: Keep flammable materials like gasoline, propane, and cleaning products in well-ventilated areas, away from heat sources, and in approved containers.
Maintain Heating Equipment: Schedule professional inspections and maintenance for heating systems, including furnaces and chimneys, before the cold weather sets in.
Kitchen Safety: Never leave cooking unattended, and keep flammable items away from the stove. Make sure you have a working fire extinguisher in your kitchen and know how to use it.

Chino & Chino Hills Water Damage Restoration: The Ultimate Guide
10/9/2023 (Permalink)
We restore water damage 24 hours a day in Chino Hills & all of San Bernardino County.
Water damage can strike at any time, and if you live in Chino or Chino Hills, California, you know that the risk of flooding is a constant concern. Whether it's from heavy rains, burst pipes, or other unforeseen disasters, being prepared and knowing what to do after a flood is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through step-by-step instructions on how homeowners in Chino and Chino Hills can address water damage and when it's essential to call in professionals like SERVPRO for assistance.
Step 1: Ensure Safety
The first and foremost concern after a flood is ensuring the safety of your family and yourself. Be cautious about electrical hazards and potential structural damage. Turn off the power supply to your home if it's safe to do so and avoid walking through standing water until you're sure it's not electrically charged.
Step 2: Document the Damage
Before you start cleaning up, document the extent of the damage for insurance purposes. Take photos and videos of all affected areas, including walls, floors, furniture, and personal belongings. This will help streamline the insurance claims process.
Step 3: Remove Water
The next step is to remove the standing water from your home. You can use a wet/dry vacuum or hire a professional water extraction service for more extensive flooding. Ensure that all waterlogged items like carpets and furniture are removed and placed in a dry area to prevent further damage.
Step 4: Prevent Mold Growth
Mold can start to grow within 24-48 hours after water damage, so it's essential to take steps to prevent it. Begin by opening windows and doors to increase ventilation. Use dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the affected areas. Remove any wet materials that cannot be adequately dried, such as drywall or insulation.
Step 5: Sanitize and Disinfect
After the area is dry, it's crucial to sanitize and disinfect thoroughly to prevent microbial growth and ensure a safe living environment. Use a mixture of water and bleach or a commercial disinfectant to clean all surfaces, including walls and floors.
Step 6: Assess Structural Damage
Inspect your home for any structural damage that may have occurred during the flood. Look for cracks in the walls, warped floors, or compromised foundations. If you find any issues, consult a structural engineer or contractor for assessment and repair.
Step 7: Contact Your Insurance Company
Notify your insurance company of the water damage as soon as possible. Provide them with all the documentation you collected in Step 2 and follow their instructions for filing a claim. This will help you get the financial assistance you need for repairs.
When to Call SERVPRO:
While these steps can help you address minor water damage, there are situations where calling in professionals like SERVPRO is necessary:
Extensive Flooding: If your home has been severely flooded, it's best to leave the cleanup to experts who have the equipment and experience to handle large-scale disasters.
Hidden Water Damage: Water can seep into walls, floors, and other hidden areas, leading to mold growth and structural damage. SERVPRO professionals can identify and address these hidden issues.
Sewage Contamination: If the floodwater is contaminated with sewage or other hazardous materials, it's unsafe to handle without proper protective gear and expertise.
Electrical Concerns: If there is any risk of electrical hazards, it's crucial to have professionals assess and mitigate the danger.
Water damage restoration in Chino and Chino Hills requires a systematic approach to ensure the safety of your home and family. While minor issues can often be addressed by homeowners, it's essential to recognize when professional assistance is needed. SERVPRO is your trusted partner in handling severe water damage situations. By following these steps and knowing when to call in the experts, you can recover from a flood and restore your home to its pre-damage condition.
