Eugene Community Creates a Safer Tomorrow During National Preparedness Month?

9/19/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Lane County.

Every September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency devotes the month of September as National Preparedness Month, a month filled with awareness campaigns and community activities that help people plan for emergencies and disasters. Our local team in South Eugene and Florence responds to storm damage emergencies every year and encourages participation in these community events this month.

National Preparedness Month holds immense importance as it serves as a vital platform to educate individuals about the risks and hazards that could significantly impact their lives. Natural disasters like floods and wildfires, or those arising from human-made incidents like chemical spills, can strike without warning. Through its advocacy for preparedness, this initiative strives to equip both individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to proactively respond to these events, lessening their adverse effects and ultimately safeguarding precious lives.to take necessary actions during these emergencies and ultimately save lives.

This year, the emphasis is on older adult populations and ensuring their needs are met during and after a disaster or emergency. Many older adults require medication and caregiver support or live in isolation and may need community support to stay safe. Addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by older adults enhances their resilience and reduces the negative impacts of emergencies on their lives.

Failed Water Heater Floods Wolf Creek Business Overnight?

9/12/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in commercial water damage restoration services in Lane County.

The sensor on our company’s water heater alerted me to a leak in the early hours of the morning. When I arrived on site, there was an inch of water covering the first floor. I called the local team in South Eugene and Florence and they did not disappoint!

The team immediately extracted the water from our Wolf Creek office using powerful, industrial-grade equipment, moved all of the office furniture, and set up air blowers and dryers. They monitored and documented the drying process and contacted our insurance company and assisted with the insurance process and paperwork.

After the area was dried completely, they cleaned and sanitized the room and replaced all of the furniture. The next day they supervised the replacement of the water heater and now you would never know we had a flooded floor in our building! Due to their fast emergency response time and use of powerful water extraction and drying equipment, we saved money and time and avoided a more costly repair!

Windy Conditions, Warm Temperatures, and Low Humidity Causes Red Flag Warning in Florence?

9/5/2023 (Permalink)

We restore wind damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

The National Weather Service issues Red Flag Warnings to inform the public, firefighters, and land management agencies of warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds that can combine to produce an increased risk for fire danger. Our team in South Eugene and Florence wants everyone to be aware of Red Flag Warnings and offer these safety tips from the National Weather Service:

• If you are allowed to burn in your area, all burn barrels must be covered with a weighted metal cover, with holes no larger than 3/4 of an inch
• Do not throw cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle. They may ignite dry grass on the side of the road and become a wildfire.
• Extinguish all outdoor fires properly. Drown fires with plenty of water and stir to make sure everything is cold to the touch. Dunk charcoal in water until cold. Do not throw live charcoal on the ground and leave it.
• Never leave a fire unattended. Sparks or embers can blow into leaves or grass, ignite a fire, and quickly spread

When powerful winds blew through Wolf Creek and the tree fell on my house, I knew I had to get help right away. My neighbor told me to call the team in South Eugene and Florence, and I’m happy I did!

Clothes Dryer Fire Caused by Clogged Lint Trap in Wolf Creek Home?

8/7/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Lane County.

Our local South Eugene and Florence teams see the damage failed household appliances can cause to homes in Wolf Creek. In a report published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the leading cause of clothes dryer fires was the failure to clean them. Here are some tips for operating your clothes dryer safely from the NFPA:

• Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional
• Do not use the dryer without a lint filter
• Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry
• Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time
• Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating
• Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you
• Keep dryers in good working order
• Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly
• Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer
• Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed

Is Your Home in Eugene Prepared for Wildfire Risk?

8/1/2023 (Permalink)

We restore fire damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

It’s wildfire season and our local South Eugene and Florence teams want everyone to be prepared for wildfire risk. The Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal urges residents to create a buffer of defensible space between their home or business and the grass, trees, shrubs, and any wildland area that surrounds it.

The National Fire Protection Association suggests choosing fire-resistant building materials and limiting the amount of flammable vegetation in three home ignition zones.

• Trim branches that overhang the home, porch, and deck
• Prune branches of large trees up to 6 to 10 feet from the ground
• Remove plants containing resins, oils, and waxes
• Use crushed stone or gravel instead of flammable mulches from 0 to 5 feet around the house
• Keep your landscape in good condition

Wildfires can send embers flying up to three to five miles ahead of a large flame front, so any steps to protect your property in advance of a fire threat will minimize the chances of sustaining wildfire damage.

We hope you stay safe from fire damage this wildfire season, but if you need fire damage restoration services in your Eugene home or commercial business, our local South Eugene and Florence team is Here to Help. ® We’ll restore your fire damage “Like it never even happened.” Call us today at 541-345-0115.
