SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa Supports Veterans in Tuscaloosa Gauntlet

In collaboration with Tuscaloosa County Park & Recreation Authority (PARA), Tuscaloosa Tourism & Sports (Visit Tuscaloosa), and the Alabama Marines Foundation, SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa cheered on competitors of the third annual Tuscaloosa Gauntlet obstacle course race. The race features 20+ obstacles, including a Marine regulation O-Course.

    The Alabama Marines Foundation is a nonprofit entity composed of Marines and others who share its interests in upholding the traditions and principles of the United States Marine Corps and the Naval Service. The organization works to recognize and honor Marines, past and present, who have a connection to the state of Alabama and who have honorably served our country. It’s SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa’s honor to partner with and participate in an event that allows foundations such as this to continue to carry out their good work for those who have sacrificed so much. 

With over 500 participants, the Tuscaloosa Gauntlet commenced its 3rd year with phenomenal success. SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa had a blast cheering on the competitors and looks forward to participating in years to come!

Tornado Season in Tuscaloosa

3/2/2023 (Permalink)

In Alabama, tornadoes are most likely to occur in March, April and May, but WSFA says they are especially common in April. Since 1950, over 550 tornadoes have touched down in our state during April with Tuscaloosa County being one of the counties they are likely to be spotted in.

The most basic terms you need to know about severe weather events with the possibility of tornadoes are the warning, watch and emergency statuses. Tornado watches suggest that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form, but tornado warnings alert communities that a tornado has been spotted on the radar. Tornado emergencies are declared when there is a severe threat to human life, and these events can cause catastrophic damage. 

Top Tips from Red Cross

• Identify a safe spot in your home for your family and pets to gather during the event of a tornado. The safest places are basements, storm cellars, or any room inside on the lowest floor without windows.
• If you are in a highrise building, seek shelter in a hallway near the center of the building. It is possible you won’t have enough time to go down to the lowest floor.
• In mobile homes, find a safe space in a sturdy building nearby. Some mobile home parks have designated shelters, but no mobile home is considered safe in a tornado.

SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa offers 24/7 emergency services including storm damage repair, cleanup and restoration. Most importantly, we want Tuscaloosa residents to be educated and safe in the event of a tornado. In the aftermath, we are always here to help!

Restoring Fire-Damaged Items

2/15/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa understands that the items inside the structure are really what makes your house a home. Our crews are trained to perform fire damage restoration on structures like your home, as well as the contents inside.

SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa has a “restore” mentality instead of a “replace” mindset. However, it is important to understand that not every item that survives a fire is able to be restored. Our trained technicians will analyze your fire-damaged items to determine if restoration is possible.

Here are the several methods that can be used to clean your contents:

• Dry cleaning to clean light residues or pre-clean before wet cleaning
• Wet cleaning to remove moderate to heavy residues
• Spray and wipe to restore items that can’t withstand wet cleaning
• Foam cleaning for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet-cleaned
• Abrasive cleaning involving agitation of the surface being cleaned
• Immersion cleaning where contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning solution

Do not lose hope for your cherished items when they are damaged in a fire. Let SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa inspect them for the possibility of restoration. We are always here to help!

Prepare for Storms as Spring Approaches

2/12/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is encouraging property owners to think forward to spring storms and focus on disaster readiness. Since late 2022, the United States has experienced severe weather from coast to coast, varying from major flood events to hurricanes and tornadoes. 

Rick Isaacson, CEO of SERVPRO Industries, LLC, says time spent improving disaster readiness might have helped property owners prevent damage to their homes or businesses, as well as the contents inside those properties. 

Spring weather can be especially unpredictable, so SERVPRO urges property owners in Tuscaloosa and across the country to take advantage of planning ahead in the case of a disaster. 

SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa continues to encourage community members to prepare for storms as unpredictable weather conditions become the norm. Steps that will benefit you in the case of disaster include preparing an emergency kit, making sure your insurance information is on-hand, and knowing who to call in the case of storm damage in Tuscaloosa.

Stay Warm, Stay Safe

12/21/2022 (Permalink)

There is nothing better than the warmth of a fire or space heater during the winter. However, fireplaces and space heaters can be the source of fire damage if the proper safety measures are not followed. 

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) provides tips for space heater safety.

• Before you even buy the space heater, make sure it has a seal of a nationally recognized testing laboratory. 
• Keep flammable materials such as curtains, clothes and papers at least three feet away from the heater.
• Never leave the heater on if no one is home or when you are asleep. The consequences could be disastrous for your home.
• Don’t plug your space heater into an extension cord. This reduces the risk of fires.

Wood-burning fireplaces can be beautiful to look at and are a crowd pleaser, but like space heaters, they come with risks. You should follow some of the same precautions, such as keeping flammable materials away from the fire and never having a fire lit unattended.

Here are a few more safety guidelines for wood-burning fires:

• Do not overload the fireplace. This prevents embers from tumbling out.
• Never burn rolled newspaper, garbage, charcoal, plastic or chemically-treated or painted wood.
• Keep small children and pets away from the flames.

In case of fire damage, call SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa. Our team of professionals takes your family and business’ safety seriously, and we know that fires can be a traumatizing experience. We are always here to help.
