Our employees have years of experience, and we will go beyond the scope of work that regular janitorial staff perform.

Cleaning After Water Damage
1/3/2020 (Permalink)
Yes, it seems like an inexpensive option for a homeowner to clean up water damage from a pipe or flooding within their home or business, but what a homeowner does not think about is what would happen if the home is improperly dried.
Here at SERVPRO of Thomas, Colquitt & Grady Counties, we have equipment that detects moisture inside of walls, floors and ceilings. This means it may look dry to the naked eye, but there is actually trapped moisture within the structure. This equipment allows us to clean up and dry water that you can and cannot see.
If a homeowner decides to clean up the water with a shop-vac and some towels, it may wind up growing mold and having a musty odor. Not to mention, water that is not dried up can lead to structural damage of a building. The cleanup process would end up being much more expensive in the long run without calling a professional.
Remember that it is free for us to come out and investigate any water problems a home may be having. Give us a call at 229-236-1902 with any questions or concerns you may have.

Amanda's First Few Weeks
1/4/2019 (Permalink)
Wow, has it already been a month since I started working as a new SERVPRO Marketing Representative? This month has been packed full of educational webinars, hands on site visits, networking, meeting clients, and learning the ropes of the day to day operations of SERVPRO.
I recall my first ride along with the production team. We performed a air duct cleaning on a apartment that was smoked in for twenty seven years. The apartment was covered with a orange film that resembled old grease or grime and it had a horrible odor. To be honest I questioned if anything other than a complete remodel would help this place, until Carson broke out the SERVPRO Orange cleaner and the professional duct cleaning system. Carson and the production crew started cleaning around the fire alarm, vents, and performed an internal vent cleaning. Needless to say I had to try the cleaner out myself, because the experience felt and smelt like a infomercial. I grabbed the cleaner and headed straight for the dingy discolored brown refrigerator, I started rubbing with a circular motion and what should appear but a white refrigerator. I was amazed at the entire experience and it made me a believer!
Did you know there are many benefits to having your air ducts professionally cleaned?
The top five are listed below:
- Reduces dust that would other wise circulate throughout your living space.
- Reduces allergens and irritants
- Helps everyone breath easier
- Removes unpleasant smells and odors
- Improves Air Flow
I am eager to learn and share more about how SERVPRO can assist our community, customer and clients; as well as the opportunity to meet and to get to know you all.
I hope to see you soon and remember we are just a phone call away 24 hours a day 7 days a week
Until Then,
Amanda Carter

"See Green, Think Spring Clean"

Happy Spring!
One of the hardest parts of spring cleaning can be deciding where to begin and what to tackle first. Not to mention figuring out who will do what. Why not let us handle your cleaning for you?
Here's a few tips from us:
1. Maintain filters.
Use the highest efficiency air filter recommended by the manufacturer of your HVAC system and change filters regularly. If your filters become clogged, change them more frequently. Also, be sure you do not have any missing filters and that air cannot bypass filters through gaps around the filter holder.
2. Minimize dust.
Dust and vacuum your home regularly, using the highest efficiency filter bags your vacuum cleaner can take preferably HEPA bags. If you undertake dusty construction or renovation work in your home, seal off supply and return registers and do not turn your HVAC system on until you have cleaned up the dust.
3. Clean cooling coils and drain pans.
Cooling coils, which are designed to remove water from the air, can be a major source of moisture contamination that can lead to mold growth in your HVAC system. Make sure that the drain pans under these coils drain properly and check any nearby insulation for wet spots. If you see substantial standing water and/or debris in these pans, contact a qualified service professional immediately. If your system includes an in-duct humidifier, be sure to follow manufacturer operating instructions.
