Fair Oaks Restoration Company

Our technician, Daisy, supervising a fire cleanup. We are always here to help, with a smile you can see from behind a smoke mask!
None of us ever consider the possibility of a burst pipe, an accidental fire, mold growth or other damage that can affect our homes and buildings. But when this damage occurs, serious issues can be present. As a homeowner or manager of a commercial building, it is important to consider hiring a professional water damage restoration company to prevent the damage from getting worse.
But with so many restoration companies out there and each one claiming to be the best, it can be hard to choose the one that will provide quality service. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right water damage restoration company for the job.
Check for Certification
Remember to always hire certified professionals for restoring your home or commercial building after water damage. Look for a company that is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
IICRC promotes high standards, ethics, advance communication and technical proficiency amongst restoration services. Hiring an IICRC certified damage restoration company will ensure that you are dealing with professionals who comply with highest industry standards.
Responsive Service When You Need It Most
Since fires and floods don’t discriminate when, where, who they affect, responsiveness and availability is a critical factor in mitigating damages and providing relief.
Your restoration company should be available when you need them. While we can’t speak for the competition, know that Professional Restoration offers disaster services including water damage, smoke, and fire 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A water damage repair company must be operated by people you can trust. When it comes to your home, your belongings, your family treasures and valuables, you need to know you can trust the contractor coming into your home.
Getting major water damage is likely going to be one of the worst days of your life as a homeowner. It’s not something that is fun or easy to deal with, and a company with terrible customer service is just going to make the situation worse. Always choose a company that’s going to go the extra mile, ensure that you’re comfortable with the work, and provide the service with a comforting smile.
If you’ve suffered a fire, SERVPRO's Team of Professionals are faster to any disaster, and can help you get your life back to normal. Give us a call at 916-285-7257.
Sacramento Smoke from Camp Fire
11/15/2018 (Permalink)
This is an air scrubber we placed in a Sacramento Business to help with the Camp Fire smoke. This helps the elderly, disabled, and children.
While the Camp Fire rages in Butte County, the smoke here is thick and suffocating. Wildfire smoke often produces high concentrations of PM2.5, very fine particulate matter that can harm the heart and lungs. Local air districts track the amount of PM2.5 in the region to create an Air Quality Index. An Air Quality index over 150 is considered unhealthy – a “code red” day. An Air Quality Index over 200 is considered very unhealthy.
According to Sacramento's Spare the Air website, the current conditions of fine particulate matter in the air are hazardous. The entire population is more likely to experience serious health effects and should avoid all outdoor physical activity, remain indoors and keep activity levels low.
In order to stay safe from this air quality, public officials have recommended the following:
- STAY INDOORS!
- Wear a N95 Respirator Mask. The city of Sacramento is offering its residents free respirator masks at fire stations to deal with smoke and worsening air quality caused by the Camp Fire.
- Get an air scrubber for air filtration at your business. An air scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes particles, gasses, and/or chemicals from the air within a given area. SERVPRO of East Sacramento/West Arden-Arcade is currently renting out air scrubbers for businesses and homes in the Sacramento Area.
- Cut back on driving. When ozone pollution is high, cut back on your driving and cancel one car trip to help lower pollution.
- Bring your lunch to work. This easy action reduces two trips, one to get to the restaurant and one to return to work.
- Postpone errands until the Spare The Air alert is over. This action will reduce one or more round-trips and keep those car emissions out of our air when pollution is already high.
- Link your errands into one big trip. This reduces pollution by minimizing cold starts. A cold engine that's been sitting for an hour or more pollutes up to five times more than a warm engine. You'll reduce pollution, save fuel and save time.
- Take public transit for one or more trips. Plan now and check out transit schedules in your area so when it's a Spare The Air day you're prepared to use public transit.
- Work from home. Working from home reduces two trips, one to get to work and one to return home. Plan now and get employer permission in advance.
- Share a ride with a friend to social and recreational activities. Instead of meeting a friend at an event, pick them up and cut down on car trips.
- Carpool to work. Share a ride to work on a Spare The Air day. Click here to find a carpool partner! And remember, carpooling just one day a week will improve our air quality all summer long.
