Owners Juan, Joe, and Steve always have their teams ready to deploy and get work DONE!
It doesn't take long for me to think of a reason to "Why SERVPRO?" especially in the middle of this pandemic. SERVPRO was ahead of the shutdown. Our chemist was paying attention to the trouble in China and around the world. They got right to work.
No one knew anything about Covid-19. Would it respond to products we already have a history with? If not, how quickly can we develop and test for an effective treatment against Covid-19?
We had vital people working on Covid before there was even a border shutdown. The importance of having a strong and financially healthy company was crystal clear at this point.
To have the financial resources, trained personnel to develop chemicals and protocol and spread that information and products out to their 1700 franchises all in a matter of weeks?? That is why SERVPRO!
When things really hit the fan, you want a company that can and will act. Appropriately, Accurately and Effectively.
Many businesses are at risk for a fire, especially when they lease older buildings in need of repairs. We know how costly and devastating a fire can be to a business, so it is always our goal to get you back up and running right away.
What to Expect:
When we visit your business after a fire loss, we will scope the affected areas to determine the extent of the loss. We will always pretest affected surfaces to determine the type of smoke and which products will help us recover the area most effectively. We have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damage. If a fire has damaged your business, call us right away at 951-922-2900. SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning treat you with empathy and respect, and your property with care.

Let out team get the fire stench out of your property.
Smoke and soot is very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allows us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.
Smoke and soot facts:
Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.
Different Types of Smoke
There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:
Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber
Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood
Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.
Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire
Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Services
Since each smoke and fire damage situation is a little different, each one requires a unique solution tailored for the specific conditions. We have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damage. We will also treat your family with empathy and respect and your property with care.

Cleaning your air ducts can benefit your health. Breathe cleaner air!
When was the last time you had your air ducts cleaned at your business? If you are like many, it has probably been a while, which means that you most likely have years and years of dirt and dust hiding inside your air ducts. Dirty air ducks are one of the main causes for poor indoor air quality in a business. In fact, dirty air ducts can spread odors, toxins such as mold, as well as dirt and dust all throughout your business. Having routine air duct cleaning can help to keep your business smelling good and at the same time help to minimize irritating dust, odors, and contaminants like mold from circulating throughout your building. Your employees and your customers will also benefit, since they will be breathing quality and clean air while in your building.

Exposure to smoke, ashes, and soot from a fire can have harmful effects to your home and health. Long-term exposure to toxins found in smoke, ashes, and soot can contaminate and damage your home as well as have a damaging effect to your lungs and heart.
It's possible your home may have dangerous toxins.
If your home has recently been exposed to smoke, ashes, or soot from a fire, it's possible that dangerous particles and contaminates have settled into your home. And although smoke damage can be visible to the eye, it can also be invisible and hard to trace, hiding in hard to reach places. Behind furniture, attics, air ducks, and other air cleaning systems.
A simple clean or wipe down is not enough, and in most cases, can even worsen your situation.
Improper cleaning can further spread dangerous toxins to other areas of the house not affected by a fire. Turning on fans and other HVAC units too can further spread toxins throughout your home, making your home a fire and toxin hazard. Smoke odor and toxins may also remain in furniture, clothing, carpet, and other places after a fire, unless properly cleaned and deodorized. Professional chemicals and equipment are needed to eliminate smoke, ashes, soot, odor and other dangerous toxins. Preparing and Informing yourself for a fire can be the best thing you can do for your home and your health.

We ensure that we learn about active fires in the area to begin preparing to respond to them as though we have already been called.

There are advantages to our professionals chasing emergencies and staying ahead of severe conditions, including:
What Does My Insurance Company Need to Approve a Claim?
In many ways, insurance companies look to the expertise of restoration professionals to provide the necessary information about a loss incident. This effort begins with job scoping. Our SERVPRO project manager, crew chief, and the customer can all work together to determine vital information that can help with the restoration and recovery of the fire-damaged structure. This job scoping involves unique practices such as identifying pre-existing conditions and potential health hazards for restoration. In addition, all job scoping after a fire loss entails:
We share this information with your insurance adjuster directly. After a fire, the last thing that you need to do is run around trying to jump through insurance hoops and meet the often-lofty demands of your insurance provider to secure a damage claim. We can work directly with the company to make the entire process more efficient.

SERVPRO Can Help with Minor and Major Flood Damage
When a storm hits home, call the professionals at SERVPRO. Our IICRC certified techs are ready for any size storm damaged job.
Damage from flooding to homes can be catastrophic for many families. Even minor flooding can ruin your contents and cause permanent damage to porous materials, e.g., drywall and flooring. Floodwaters also introduce contaminants to your home, for example, bacteria, viruses, biological material, chemicals, and debris picked up by the raging water along the way. Water and moisture left in place can also create the perfect environment for mold growth. Mold infestations can occur in forty-eight hours or less.
SERVPRO provides flood damage restoration services for Beaumont/Banning homes and surrounding areas. We respond in less than four hours from your call. Our franchise has access to a large loss recovery team and can martial the resources needed to respond to large flood damage incidents.
High winds can damage roofs and walls, breaking windows and doors, letting in tremendous amounts of wind-blown rainwater along with floodwaters that cascade through your neighborhood. We provide emergency services such as board-up services to cover broken windows and doors and wall punctures. Tarps are placed on damaged roofs to prevent further damage from rainwater and animals.
Our team quickly assesses the situation and begins removing excess water, drying, and dehumidification. Since the floodwaters may be contaminated, we also clean and sanitize all items that can be restored, including structural components.
Our Flood Damage Services Include:
Flood Water removal services
Flood Water damage restoration
Temporary emergency storm damage response – Tarps and board up
When storm damage impacts your property, call on our skilled experts at SERVPRO for assistance.
Standing Water in Your Home Can be a Shock, Call SERVPRO Today.
It is critical to move quickly when standing water gets discovered in your home. Strong storm systems can raise creeks, streams, and other bodies of water. When you find standing water in any volume in your property, you must work to get the right personnel involved in implementing mitigation tactics that can save areas of your home yet to become affected by the migration of this damage.
Flood damage in homes presents a substantial threat to the structural integrity of the property. Also, standing water can allow for threats many homeowners might not expect, like conducting electricity from outlets in the affected area or spreading bacteria and microorganisms throughout the property. You should never enter flood water in your home because health hazards and the risks of injury are too severe for those untrained or ill-equipped. Our SERVPRO professionals have personal protective equipment and extensive training to overcome these threats as they get discovered.
When you first find flooding in your home, the first thing that you should do is to contact our rapid response team. We have dedicated professionals standing by 24/7 to reach your home with effective extraction and drying processes. Our equipment and potent cleaning products can protect more areas of your home from the potential contamination of natural flooding.
Storm Flood Removal
Contacting your insurance provider is another crucial step to take, as we can often coordinate efforts between our SERVPRO management and your insurance adjuster. You need the right information about what services are covered and what out-of-pocket expenses you might expect moving forward.
As unnerving as it might be to find a lower level of your home contending with several inches of standing water, our SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning team has powerful extractors like our sump pumps and truck-mounted options to help. We also have rapid drying solutions to help us get to cleaning and disinfecting contaminated areas of your home as soon as possible. Give us a call anytime that you need us at 951.922.2900.
Are You Aware of These Types of Mold Lurking on Your Property?
SERVPRO Technicians Provide Commercial Mold Remediation for Local Businesses
Beaumont/Banning business owners may be well aware that mold exists in some form in every indoor space. Still, they may be surprised at both the variety of indoor molds as well as the tenacious nature of this microbial growth. All molds need to thrive in any given environment are moisture and oxygen. Without thorough professional remediation, mold can cause health effects, affect indoor air quality, and damage assets and structural materials.
SERVPRO technicians are ready to assist businesses in Beaumont/Banning with emergency-response commercial mold remediation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. SERVPRO technicians receive extensive training and education on dealing with mold damage per restoration industry standards and use sophisticated technologies to this end, including:
HEPA filter vacuums that can catch particles as small as 0.3 microns in size.
OSHA-approved, EPA-registered biocides that mitigate both mold and odors.
Air movement and dehumidification equipment used in tandem with moisture measurement tools to return surfaces to normal humidity levels.
Odor control equipment handled by certified technicians to mitigate odors from mold and water damage.
Common Types of Mold in Residential Structures
Acremonium. This mold goes from small, moist deposits to becoming a widespread powdery pink, gray, white, or orange. Acremonium tends to thrive in small spaces like cooling coils, drain pans, window seals, and humidifiers. It can also grow alongside other strains of mold, including black mold.
Alternaria. Alternaria is easily one of the most common indoor molds to be found in residential buildings. It tends to accumulate in sinks, bathtubs, and similarly wet areas. Sometimes the presence of this furry dark green or brown mold can indicate water damage in your facilities.
Ulocladium. This black-colored mold, which is not what we know as “black mold,” tends to live in high-moisture areas that have previously suffered water damage, including basements and bathrooms. Contact a professional to inspect the mold on your property.
Stachybotrys. Stachybotrys is the name given to black mold, a microbial growth indicative of severe or long-term water damage. Black mold is slimy and can vary in color between dark green and black.
Penicillium. This blue-green, velvety mold spreads easily through the air and in ventilation systems but tends to proliferate the most in porous surfaces that have endured water damage. Common locations for penicillium growth include wallpaper, mattresses, and upholstery.
If you notice a proliferation of these or of other types of mold on your property, professional remediation is a must for preventing the spread of spores and keeping tenants and staff safe. Keep in mind that many buildings typically contain more than one type of mold, and careful inspection and remediation is necessary to keep each one from spreading.
SERVPRO Remediates Mold While Preventing Spores from Spreading
SERVPRO’s mold remediation techniques focus on the following:
Establishing containment measures such as sealing entryways and implementing negative air pressure machines to limit mold’s ability to travel through the air or to other areas of your property.
Removing unsalvageable, mold-affected materials from the property. These items are typically porous, including carpeting and drapes.
Cleaning mold off of nonporous surfaces and other salvageable items with EPA-registered biocides and removing large, solid mold deposits.
Eliminating settled mold spores of surfaces until there is no risk of them spreading through the air during drying.
Drying the mold-affected structure with air movers and dehumidifiers to eliminate the moisture that allowed the mold to thrive in the first place.
Drying is monitored with a variety of moisture measurement tools, including penetrating and non-penetrating sensors and meters. Infrared imaging is also used to detect moisture damage behind walls or under flooring that may also house or become an ideal environment for mold growth.
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning wants to keep your business looking, “Like it never even happened.” Call 951.922.2900 for emergency response mold inspection and remediation.
Signs Water Damage Repairs Are Needed In Your Bathroom
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning will help you determine what your home needs after water damage.
Water Damage Repairs For Your Beaumont/Banning Bathroom
Water damage and leaks in your bathroom can be quite costly to repair, as it takes much time to remove and reinstall things already in places such as your toilet, sink, and flooring. Signs of water damage are not always easy to spot, either, so knowing what to look for to prevent bathroom flooding and similar problems are essential. The first signs of water damage can be well hidden and overlooked easily. However, if you discover them in time, professionals like SERVPRO can fix the problem for you without a lot of headaches and costs.
Musty Smells
With no visible problems, a persistent damp smell is a big red flag that your bathroom in your Beaumont/Banning home from water home is suffering from water damage. When you can smell this odor even when the bathroom is dry and clean, be convinced that there is moisture building up behind surfaces. You probably have mold growth to go along with it as well. Therefore, you need to call in SERVPRO right away to ensure this problem does not worsen.
Suspicious Walls
Blistering paint or crumbling plaster is just the first step to a disaster that is approaching. If water is dripping behind your walls, a leaking pipe is likely the problem. Drywall feels softer and swells when it absorbs water, and the process is usually slow. If you notice any of this or any cracks or gaps in your caulk or grout, it is time to address this issue of hidden water damage.
Damaged Flooring
Bathroom floors are made to be covered in water, so they stay in good condition unless you have a leak develop. Persistent moisture below the floor, however, creates buckling, cracking, and staining, so if any of this appears in your bathroom, you should be alarmed. The subfloor of your bathroom, usually made of plywood, starts to rot if exposed to moisture, making the floor gradually softer.
Visible Mold
It is usually too late for preventative measures when you see mold growth on walls, in corners, or spreading on the ceiling. It develops from the inside out, so when you can see it, there is just one explanation – you have a leak somewhere. SERVPRO’s professionals can come in and take care of the leak and the mold with special tools and cleaners, so get them to your home as quickly as possible.
These are all reasons why you need to regularly inspect your bathroom, including the shower area, around the sink, and your toilet. Maintain valves and pipes, plus the whole plumbing system, and replace any rusty parts. If your bathroom suffers water damage of any kind, please contact SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning right away. We can be there quickly when you give us a call at 951.922.2900 to fix your bathroom up and make it a haven to wash away the stress of the day again.
What Tools Do Professionals Use for Water Removal?
When Water Disasters Impact Your Beaumont/Banning Home, We Have Multiple Strategies to Remove Standing Water and Begin the Drying Process
Removing water from surface materials in your Beaumont/Banning home requires several tools and technologies in our growing inventory of recovery equipment. After a thorough inspection of your property following a disaster, we can identify the most appropriate mitigation and restoration plan for your specific structure. Ultimately, we make these decisions based on the most efficient path to returning your home or business to its original condition.
The tools and technologies that promote water restoration for homes and businesses can vary significantly from one property to the next. As a leading restoration company for the Beaumont/Banning area, we have a broad assortment of extractors and water removal tools to address both standing water and trapped moisture in porous materials like wood flooring and carpets.
What Are the Best Tools to Remove Surface Water?
Standing water can be one of the most destructive effects left behind after a water damage incident. Without quick action, absorption can occur to exposed materials. The removal of standing water is an essential effort to prevent unnecessary tear-out and reconstruction of areas that could otherwise be preserved. Some of the best types of tools for this action include:
Pumps – Electric submersible pumps and other units like high-pressure extractors and self-priming trash pumps are vital in different conditions to remove surface water. The effectiveness of these extractors hinges on the depth of the water involved. Under two inches of standing water causes the pumps to lose prime and become less effective.
Vacuums – Vacuums are a versatile water removal tool in our arsenal because of their portability. In addition to these units' mobility, wet vacuums are even more useful when combined with various wands and attachments for specific extraction scenarios.
Wands – Special attachments for vacuums in submersible pumps can help resolve specific issues encountered in removing water. Wands are exceptionally beneficial for areas where accessibility is an issue.
Is Trapped Water Challenging to Remove from Carpeting?
Thousands of homes have carpeted floors, though the type of material used can vary from one residence to the next. With the likelihood of carpeted floors encountering water damage after a loss incident, our SERVPRO team must prepare for these circumstances. We have multiple tools designed to address these immediate concerns through water removal and drying practices. When approached quickly enough, it is often possible to protect and preserve the carpeting layer, even if the padding underneath must get replaced. Some of the mechanisms that we utilize to recover saturated carpeting include:
Light Wands
Carpet Wands
Weighted Extractors
Floating Carpets
Is Trapped Water Destructive to Wood Flooring?
With multiple types of wood flooring, the effect of standing water and absorption on this building material can vary. Our response to these conditions determines the likelihood of preserving these installed materials and reducing the need for tear-out and reconstruction. Often, there are three types of water damage in wood plank flooring. These include surface water, free water, and bound water. The various water penetration states dictate how and if wood flooring can get dried and restored or if controlled demolition is a more cost-efficient approach. There are multiple tools used in the recovery of wood flooring, including:
Floor Drying Mats
Tenting
Dehumidifiers
Air Movers
When Is a Material Too Damaged to Preserve?
Water exposure can have an undeniable impact on specific sensitive materials like drywall. After only 24 hours of exposure, direct contact of water with installed drywall material promotes swelling, sagging, and collapse. It is the prerogative of responding technicians to evaluate these risks and begin implementing controlled demolition practices whenever necessary to protect the house and the team's occupants. When a material is considered too damaged to leave installed, we can quickly uninstall it and discard the sheetrock to reduce relative humidity and moisture content in the house, leading to mold growth, further water damage, and other concerns.
It is not always cut and dry what your property needs after a water disaster, but extraction and water removal are often involved in some capacity. Understanding what measures must get taken to return a house to the preloss condition involves the data collected during the initial inspection and evaluation of the property by our project manager. You can count on our SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning team for our fast response with these efficient extraction tools to make water damages "Like it never even happened." We are available 24/7 at 951.922.2900.

Water damage does billions of dollars in damage every year. Everything from small pipe leaks to water damage from firefighting efforts, to natural disasters such as floods, can do extensive damage to property. Without extensive mitigation, this can put businesses at risk of mold and other contaminants, which can affect the safety and comfort of your facilities.
If your business requires commercial water removal, the pros at SERVPRO are ready to handle it fast. Our IICRC-certified team has the tools and techniques needed to assist business owners and restoring their property after a disaster occurs. Whether the damage is caused by pipes or other infrastructure issues, this is a crew you can count on to restore your facility to its preloss condition.
Protecting Your Facilities
Be vigilant
Notice an uptick in water expenses? It may be a plumbing issue. Make sure to regularly inspect your building for damp areas and hire a certified professional to make the fixes required for your property.
Prepare for disaster
Sandbags, sump pumps, and other preventive measures can go a long way towards protecting your business. Commercial water sensors can also detect and limit the amount of water damage that occurs in your facility by quickly alerting you to damage.
Check openings and prepare them accordingly
This includes windows, doors, trim, and other gaps and cracks on your property. Use weather-stripping and waterproof caulking, as well as other measures for waterproofing your store.
How SERVPRO Helps Businesses
When SERVPRO comes to your business, they can get started right away on water extraction, drying, and disinfection for your property. If your retail store features carpet and other porous fabrics, SERVPRO back-mounted extractors and rovers can pull moisture out of the carpet and potentially prevent the need for disposal with careful drying. Carpet, in many cases, can be saved from disposal if delamination--that is, the separation of pad from the carpet--has not occurred.
Air movers can be placed every 10 to 16 linear feet at 45-degree angles to dry the walls. If the ceiling is affected, technicians can move ceiling tiles to facilitate the removal of moisture through just a couple of openings. In open areas, plastic sheeting can be used to construct chambers for more effective drying in a contained space.
If disaster does strike, give us a call! We are faster to any disaster and are here to help get you back to "Like it never even happened."
Smoke alarms save lives when properly installed and maintained, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In homes, smoke alarms should be in every bedroom and on every level, including the basement. In office and commercial environments, check your state requirements or contact your local Fire Marshall to help ensure all codes are met. Test smoke alarms monthly using the test button. Smoke alarms with non-replaceable batteries need the entire smoke alarm unit replaced every ten years. Other alarms need batteries replaced every year and the unit replaced every ten years. If the alarm chirps signaling low battery, take the proper steps to replace the unit or the batteries immediately. Never disable or remove the battery from an alarm. Almost half of fires where smoke alarms were present but did not activate had missing or disconnected batteries (NFPA). In larger commercial facilities, hard wired or wireless smoke alarms offer benefits such as not needing to be tested as often and activating throughout the entire building if smoke is detected in just one area (NFPA). If you need help installing, testing or changing batteries in your smoke alarms, contact your local fire department, an electrician or the American Red Cross. Be sure your home or workplace has a fire emergency plan in place and conduct regular fire drills. For more information on Emergency Preparedness, contact SERVPRO® of Beaumont/Banning and visit https://nfpa.org/ for more tips on Fire Safety and Precautions.
What Should You Do If You Have a Leaking or Broken Pipe?
Hidden in the walls and floors of your home are a series of pipes that supply water to your entire home. Unfortunately, broken or leaky pipes can cause your house to flood. If your home has sustained damage, you must have a strategy for dealing with it.
Find the Leak When a pipe bursts, the source of the flood is often obvious. For leaky pipes, however, finding the root of water damage can be tricky. Still, before you can fix a broken pipe, you must locate it. If you don’t have plumbing skills, you may not be able to go it alone. Instead, you must rely on a licensed plumber to find the leak. When you do, expect the plumber to take the following actions:
Ensure no legitimate water is flowing inside or outside the home
Check the water meter’s leak indicator
Compare water meter readings
Look for signs of water damage
Examine pipes
Contact the Insurance Company
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their insurance policy covers damage caused by leaky or broken pipes. Whether you have a flood or just a bit of moisture, you should contact your insurance company. An adjuster can advise you on which restoration and repair costs are included in your insurance coverage. As you probably know, a flood can destroy your home. Not only do floods often cause short-term damage, they usually leave behind long-term remnants. To preserve the comfort, value and appearance of your dwelling, you can’t leave your house’s recovery to chance. Instead, consider working with a reputable restoration company. Simply put, you can’t overestimate the importance of having the right expertise, equipment and skill in restoring the condition of your home. When Water Damage happens; turn to the pros at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning to make your home "Like it never even happened."
Laundry is likely a routine item on your to-do list, and it’s something many of us do without giving it a second thought. Could this mundane task be giving your home trouble? One hidden part of this chore involves mold growth. Your washing machine could have an intruder lurking — one that is causing that unpleasant odor and those unappealing colorations on your appliance. Follow the steps below to ensure your machine is clean and mold-free.
Scrub, Scrub, Scrub
The first step may seem apparent, but it can be easy to forget about the needs of a washing machine once it's done its job. Plus, it may not occur to most of us that a machine that involves soap and a rinse cycle needs regular cleaning. Without maintaining your machine, fungus can develop, and the mold smell has a way of lingering. Pay attention to grime buildup in sneaky spots and clean them right away. Perhaps a regular cleaning routine is all your machine needs to stay mildew-free.
Consider Your Detergent
That laundry detergent might have been the best deal at the grocery store, but is it best for your washer? No matter how much dirty laundry has piled up, it is essential that you use the appropriate detergent for your type of machine. For example, front-loaders generally require detergents specifically suited for high-efficiency appliances. The incorrect detergent for your machine may leave a residue that creates an environment where mold can thrive.
Keep Things Dry
After you’ve pinpointed what type of detergent is best for your appliance, the main focus should revolve around keeping your washer dry. Avoid letting the drum of your machine stay damp for hours or days on end; instead, remove finished laundry immediately and keep the door open after the completion of a cycle.
Making sure your washing machine stays clean and dry between uses can work wonders when it comes to keeping your clothes smelling fresh. Taking these steps will make it less likely that fungus can grow and thrive and cause a mold smell to develop.
Water heaters should last anywhere from 6 to 13 years with most warranties covering the tank and parts for 6 years. With a little basic maintenance, you can ensure your water heater last as long as possible. Here are a few tips on maintaining your water heater.
-Check the Pressure Relief Valve or Temperature Pressure Relief (PRV or TPR). Turn off the electric or gas, depending on your water heater, and the cold-water inlet. Put a bucket underneath the discharge pipe and lift the lever on the valve. If water isn’t released when you lift the lever, then replace the valve. If water continues to flow after testing then you’ll need to replace the valve as well. Replacement is as simple as draining the tank, unscrewing the valve and replacing the old one while making sure to sure use Teflon tape on the threads.
-Drain the tank and check for sediment. Let the tank drain until it is running clear and is clear of any sediment. Sediment can cause clogged lines and reduce the life and efficiency of a water heater. Check and make sure there aren’t any additional leaks around the drain valve and that it’s not loose or spinning. If so, completely drain and replace the valve.
-Check the temperature. You can save money on your energy bill by lowering the temperature as little as 10 degrees. Simply remove the temperature dial cover and adjust the dial to 120 degrees with a flat head screw driver. Most water heaters come set at 140 degrees. It’s recommended that you adjust the dial to the lowest setting if leaving for more than a few days.
-Insulate your water heater. A ridged piece of insulation, or bottom board, can save you anywhere from 4-9% off of your energy bill. To know if you need to insulate your water heater, check the R value on the water heater sticker. If the value is below 24 then it needs to be insulated. An insulating blanket is the simplest solution and comes with easy installation instructions.
-Check the anode rod. The anode rod is the long metal magnesium, aluminum or aluminum/zinc alloy that attracts corrosive elements in the water. While it’s recommended that you check the anode rode, realize that by changing it yourself, you may void the warranty. Before replacing make sure to check your warranty or contact the manufacturer before trying to change it yourself. Most anode rods need to be checked every one to three years and replaced when it is consumed more than 50 percent. By checking the rod, you avoid corrosion inside of the tank and can extend the life of your water heater up to double the expected lifespan.

Picture of 4 space heaters showing heat emanating from the units
Space heaters can be useful for keeping an area in your home warmer than the temperature setting on central heating. These appliances can lower costs and increase comfort. An unsafe appliance or one that is not operated properly can lead to a burned space heater and house fire. Follow a few simple measures to safely use a space heater.
Choose a Heater With Safety Features
The right heater can reduce the risk of a fire. Make sure the model you buy has the following safety features:
Ground fault circuit interrupter plug
Automatic shut-off for overheating
Safety certification
A cord that is six feet or longer
A heater with these features may cost slightly more but should be worth the peace of mind.
Situate a Heater in a Safe Spot
A burned space heater may result if you operate this appliance in a risky location. Make sure the room where you plan to use the heater has an empty outlet, level surface, and sufficient space. You should always:
• Avoid plugging other electronics into the same outlet as a space heater • Plug the heater directly into an outlet and never use an extension cord • Keep at least three feet of space between heaters and combustibles such as curtains, bedding, or upholstery • Situate the heater on a hard, non-flammable, level surface
Attend Operating Heater
Even an appliance with safety features that is safely situated can still be a fire hazard. Reduce the risk of fire by turning off the appliance when you leave the room. You should never operate a heater unattended around children and pets or leave a heater plugged in when not in use.
It is estimated that space heaters start around 25,000 house fires every year in the United States. If a burned space heater causes a fire in your home in the Beaumont/Banning area, contact residential fire damage and smoke cleanup specialists at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning.
Methods Used by Professionals to Contain Mold During Cleanup
Picture of a wall in a commercial building that is contained with plastic sheeting
Mold contamination is the last thing your Beaumont/Banning business wants to face. But when the near-ubiquitous spores have found a dark, damp place to thrive in your building, you may soon be faced with the immediate and pressing need of remediation.
Mold is a fungal presence that can cause immense property damage to the surface it’s growing on. To limit the possibility of cross-contamination with unaffected areas of the building, a professional mold cleanup team can utilize a variety of containment methods during the cleanup process:
1. Shutting Off HVAC Units
Once the mold is present, it is vital to shut off all air circulation units. The microscopic spores can be carried along with the slightest of breezes, and should they come in contact with other damp places within your property, mold is likely to grow. Rather than encourage the dispersal of spores through airwaves, all fans should be turned off along with the heating and cooling systems.
2. Isolating the Affected Area
Depending on the size of the affected area, various tactics may be utilized to isolate the contaminated space from the rest of the property. All doors and windows should be shut, and a single layer of polyethylene sheeting may be used to seal the space off.
For extensive mold growth or contaminated areas larger than 100 square feet, a negative air chamber can be built to restrict airflow from escaping the room. Double layers of polyethylene sheets and physical barriers can form a sealed entrance for workers during the entirety of the mold cleanup process.
3. Wearing Full Personal Protective Equipment
Mold spores can be carried on shoes and clothing, making full protective gear a must during cleanup. Disposable clothing including a bodysuit, shoe covers, and hair nets shield the body from exposure. Goggles, gloves, and a respirator mask provide further protective cover.
IICRC certified companies will have the materials to create a well-contained mold cleanup area. This can ensure mold doesn’t become the new business owner you didn’t ask for!
Residential home with missing roof shingles as a result of storm damage
Types of Roof Damage You Could Be Dealing With
Whether you live in a mountainous community or out in the desert, your home can be at risk of sustaining wind damage here in the PASS area. Because the roof is one of the most common places for it to happen, it is helpful to know how to quickly respond to problems there. And you may need to call a storm damage remediation expert for help if you can't repair the damage yourself. Here are three tips for recognizing the type of roof damage you are dealing with:
1. Check the Flashing It is common for high winds to damage roof flashing in the PASS area. This is the material that protects the seams of roof fixtures such as your chimney. While you are checking the flashing, do not forget about the surrounding sealant. If it is old or cracked, you will need to replace it. Fortunately, this is an inexpensive kind of roof repair.
2. Look for Damaged Parts A roof has several parts including vent boots, shingles and slits. Take time to carefully examine all of them. Damaged vent boots can lead to leaks, and it is easy for shingles to break and for slits to corrode. If any of this kind of roof damage occurs, you will need to buy replacement materials. This sort of roof repair can be more costly than flashing or sealant fixes, but it probably still will not break the bank.
3. Check for Holes A puncture is one of the most expensive types of roof repairs you will encounter. If you notice a hole in your roof, moving quickly can save you money by reducing the amount of additional damage that may occur. Holes are not the kind of repair you want to make yourself though. Even if it can be costly, is better to leave this job to professionals.
If high winds damage your roof, it can be helpful to know what kind of roof repair you will need to make. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may be able to solve the problem yourself, or you made need professional assistance. Either way, acting quickly can reduce problems.
Bathroom exhaust fans help ventilate to prevent mold growth from humidity
For a home in the Beaumont/Banning area, keeping the property clear of black mold can be important. Mitigation can go a long way to keeping your home free mold damage. Fortunately, understanding where and why mold grows can help you take the steps necessary to prevent this potential problem.
1. High Humidity
Areas of high humidity make a present a moisture problem that can lead to potential mold issues. You may want to consider the use of a dehumidifier or fans to help keep your home dry. Many ventilation systems include are designed to help prevent moisture build-up. You can also take simple steps such as running the fan during and after you take a shower help prevent water accumulation in high-moisture areas of your home.
2. Water Damage
Areas of water damage in your home may also be at risk for black mold. These can include places where a storm has damaged the property like attic or basement spaces. Water may also build up, more in locations such as under the sink. If not properly taken care of water damaged area can become a nice growth habitat for spores.
3. Flooding
Flooding is also likely to lead to mold damage. If your home experiences flooding, or pooling water, then it's best to contact a professional restoration service for water damage and mold cleanup. These professionals know how to properly dry and sanitize an area, and take the appropriate mitigation steps to help prevent issues such as mold growth.
Knowing that causes of black mold can help you take the appropriate mitigation steps if you believe your home may be at risk. Mold grows in moist areas meaning that places prone to high humidity, water damage or flooding may be the most likely areas for spores. If your home experiences one of these issues you can call a professional for help.
Important to recognize the different types of fire extinguishers
As a homeowner in the Beaumont/Banning area, you need to be prepared for emergencies. If you've ever had a house fire and had to call in professionals to restore your home, you understand the importance of having a fire extinguisher on hand. Following the steps below can ensure that you're using it correctly.
1. Assess the Situation
First, understand what you're dealing with. If the blaze is already too big, the best idea may be to call the fire department and get yourself and anyone else in the house to safety. If you can safely douse it with a fire extinguisher, you need to next make sure that you have the right type for whatever material is burning.
2. Use the Right Extinguisher for the Fire
Experts classify extinguishers based on the type of fire they can combat. These include:
Type A: for fires involving plastics, wood, textiles and paper
Type B: used on fires involving solvents, gasoline, oils, paints and other flammable liquids
Type C: for electrical fires, including plugged-in equipment like computers or appliances
Type D: for fires involving combustible powders or metals
Type E: commonly used for a kitchen fire involving fats or cooking oils
These letter classifications are always found on the sides of the extinguishers, many of which are rated for putting out fires of more than one type.
3. Remember: "PASS"
The PASS method is an easy way to remember how to use most fire extinguishers. Each letter in "PASS" stands for the first word of an operational step. The "P" tells you to pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher; it needs to be removed before operation. The "A" tells you to aim the nozzle. The nozzle should not be aimed at the top of the flames, but at the bottom, where the combustion is taking place. The first "S" tells you to squeeze the handle to start the flow, and the second one reminds you to sweep from side to side while spraying.
By acting quickly and following the instructions above, you can safely prevent fire damage before it has a chance.
Violent weather such as storm damage can wreak havoc on buildings as well as vegetation. Wind damage can be a hazard to the structure of a building, by loosening the shingles or tiles on the roof. This can cause moisture such as rain and snow to infiltrate into the protective surface of the roof, which will result in the wood swelling and later on disintegration and becoming moldy. This outcome will lead to a sagging ceiling and further problems. Elements such as wind, rain, hail, and lightning can result in turning people’s lives upside down, this is why having a storm damage restoration service to help this type of emergency is a good option.
Here are some of the activities you can expect from the storm restoration service professionals.
Whether it is a business or residence, the restoration company will come to your property and their trained experts will do a thorough examination of the interior and exterior of your building. This will help them discover the level of the damage. In many cases, the restoration company will discuss the renovation plans with you and your insurance adjuster.
When everything is agreed upon, the work begins. Depending on what type of damage is present, this will determine the type of equipment the professional will use. In the case of flooding, they will use specialized pumps and vacuums to remove water from the affected areas.
Generators will be brought in to operate their dehumidifiers and air movers, so mold and mildew do not have a change to make matters worse. Using customized cleaners, the specialist will then disinfect hard surfaces and shampoo salvageable carpets as well as apply deodorant to combat any odors.

SERVPRO BEAUMONT / BANNING / DESERT HOT SPRINGS HERE TO HELP - ALWAYS
When SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning arrived in Austin, Texas to help with the catastrophic water losses in the area we had no idea what to expect.
Our first contact was Julie who was the Site Manager at St. Michael's Episcopal Church. The Church and attached Children's Center suffered extensive damage. The water pipes froze and burst subsequently flooding the entire lower level of the Church and Children's Center. The Pews were damaged extensively, Tile and flooring had to be removed.
For Julie, her top priority was to get the Children's Center up and running as fast as possible. The Center provided much needed daycare and educated to approximately 70 kids.
Mark's Team went right to work placing the air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the Center and School. Once the moisture readings came back dry, demolition began. Demo continued for approximately two weeks with clean up taking another week. Mark's Team had the contractors in there and school reopened before we left Austin.
Julie was very grateful to the SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning Team. So much so she was happy to give us a video testimonial. Stay tuned for that to be added to our website and social media.

Every home is at risk when it comes to dealing with leaks, floods, and water damages from storms. It can become stressful and costly when repairing these damages. Here are 4 easy steps to follow to lessen the damages if an unexpected water disaster happens in your home.
Cut Off the Source
Almost every person’s first response to a water flood is to clean it up. Although that is an important step to lessening the damages, it is best to cut off the water source first. This helps prevent further water flow. If the source isn’t an appliance, find the main water shutoff valve to the house and turn it off. The valve is usually located in the basement or outside of a home.
Preserve Your Home
Now, if the extent of the damage is small enough, you can proceed to clean up the water. Using rags, mops, and buckets would be the most beneficial. You may need to move furniture around for easier access to the area. If the water damage is related to sewage water, DO NOT clean up the water and call a remediation company. Sewage water should be left alone to prevent sickness and further contamination to other parts of the home.
Contact Restoration Company
To the naked eye, an affected area may look dry and cleaned. However, the materials underneath or behind the surfaces may still be wet. Water damages often leads to mold no matter the extent of the water. Contact a Water Restoration Company, such as SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, to help assess the damages and prevent mold.
Do Not Panic
For most this may be the hardest step to do, but don’t panic. Panicking causes us to make decisions and action we might regret. For example, removing any carpet or flooring on your own. Professional restoration experts are there to help and restore your home.
Water damages can happen to any home. Be prepared and follow these 4 easy steps to help minimize the damages and ease the restoration process.
When dealing with an emergency water loss, many people are unaware of the different types of water losses that could happen in their home or business. Knowing the type of water loss help determine the proper drying techniques and designate which damaged materials can and cannot be restored. Water losses fall into three categories: clean water, gray water and black water.
Category 1: Clean Water
This type of water loss comes from a source that does not pose substantial harm. It may include broken water pipes, overflows, and falling rainwater. However, it may not always remain clean after it encounters other surfaces or materials. If left untreated it may become a category 2 water loss.
Category 2: Gray Water
Gray water contains significant contamination and has potential to cause illness or discomfort. Sources include overflows or broke pipes contaminated with chemicals or microorganisms.
Category 3: Black Water
Category 3 water loss is grossly contaminated and may contain harmful agents. This type of water loss carries silt, organic matter, heavy metals, and toxic substances that create black water. With a black water loss, most materials may be removed and properly dispose.
***** If you are unsure of the type of water loss you are dealing with or don’t know how to go about handling it, call a professional for help. SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is IICRC certified, with highly trained specialist that are available 24/7.

A Temporary Tarp Solution to Minimize Water Intrusion During A Storm
A Beaumont resident contacted us for advice in anticipation to an upcoming storm. Some of his roof deck tiles were damaged from a rain storm just days before. He had reached out to a couple of roofers regarding some roof issues he had but stated that the roofers he contacted couldn’t go out until a few days. He was concerned since it was projected that rain was going to continue. We recommended that he get in the meanwhile a tarp placed on his roof since heaving rains where expected.
A tarp would protect his home during the rain, avoiding water from intruding and damaging other areas in his home. We helped him with the tarp and put it in place just in time. Rains were heaving and continued for days. It turned out to be a good preventative strategy. We can do the same for you.

The best way to remove water and moisture from a water damaged structure when a water intrusion occurs is by extraction. Extractors are crucial in water emergency services since they help to extract water quick from a wet environment, helping to dry the area much faster. The faster we arrive at a loss, and the faster we dry the structures in place, the higher chances are we can restore wet structures instead of removing them. A strategy that can help reduce the over claim costs. Extractors are also used to clean carpets and upholstery.

All of that in mind, we can tell you that nothing could prepare us for an event of this magnitude. This was a learn as we go and go all the way event. We loaded up two of our trucks with equipment, loaded up our office manager's travel trailer and Marks F150 and we headed 1100 miles east for Austin, Texas. The next several blogs will detail certain jobs, learning experiences and special moments of our journey. As of today we are finishing up week 3 in Austin. We have switched out the crew twice, had two family emergencies and have even had our Marketer cover the office for a few days... yup! That's SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning.. willing to go to any length to make it "Like it never even happened." Stay Tuned...

SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is still in Austin, Texas helping out hundreds of families out of the hundred thousand plus homes and business affected by the deep freeze event.
An unfortunate problem that we are running into 3 weeks post event, is that mold is setting in. Normally, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is more than prepared to handle any and all mold issues, this event is no different. However, Texas regulations stipulate that we stand down. Texas regulations require that any mold remediation job larger than 25 square feet be completed by a company licensed in Texas.
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is isn't giving up. We are asking the State of Texas for an emergency exemption so that we can continue working to help Texans get back into their homes safe and clean.
This is as you can imagine a multistep process. We must go through the State Licensing Board and navigate through all the customary red tape, but we will not give up! We are dedicated to our mission and our motto. To restore every Texan to a "Like it never even happened," state. Stay tuned...
Here's Marks Truck Radio Pic that he sent me from Texas. Making light of an overflowing stressful situation
Things in Texas were pure chaos the first week out. SERVPRO Corporate was scrambling 400+ Franchises to the rescue. Everyone was seeking hotels and flights inbound and doing what we had to do to make contact with customers at first light.
The pressure was on for those of us left here in California. Trying to assist blind in any way possible while still taking care of our customers here at home.
A little background on Mark, Owner of SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning. He is all business all the time. I've heard rumors that he is pretty funny off work, but I have never experienced it for myself... flash forward to our Tex-Stress event...
Mark sends me a message and a picture of his radio screen. The message says (paraphrasing here) my new Texas Anthem, the song is pretty good too.
the song...
Underwater
I have never laughed out loud so hard. I've included the picture he sent me and the chorus of the song.
When all else fails, when you are stressed to the limit, NEVER EVER give up.. find a way.. and laugh.

Here are 3 of the many pets that gave us some love in Texas
When SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning packed up and headed out to Austin Texas we really had no idea what to expect.
Yes we have been in business for 5 years. Yes Our Operations Manager Tracy has over 25 years in the Restoration Industry. Yes we live and work in one of the most volatile Weather prone Residential and Commercial areas in Southern California. We've worked massive Fire Storms, Floods and Earthquakes.
So believe me when I tell you, nothing could've prepared us for this deep freeze event.
We and approximately 400 other SERVPRO Franchises descended on Texas. We immediately coordinated and organized our plan of action.
Work has been constant. Our California office worked in unison with our makeshift office in Texas and together we started contacting our customers in need. One by one we did inspections and estimates and began work. It has been a whirlwind for sure. One beautiful moment we get to share with our Clients is when we get to love on their pets.
For just a moment, we all forget that we are in an emergency and we can just relax and enjoy everyone's furbabies. Thank you to all the pets!

Update 12/22/2020
According to inciweb Post-fire emergency preparedness for local residents:
"Residents and visitors in the fire area should be aware that recently burned areas are at a greater risk of mudflows and flash floods. Fires eliminate vegetation that hold soil and rocks in place and charred ground may be unable to absorb water. Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Teams and CAL FIRE Watershed Emergency Response Team (WERT) efforts are focused on the protection of human life, safety, and property. Rapid burn assessments identify areas that have increased potential for floods and mudflow, enabling county, state, and federal emergency managers to better plan their responses to future rain events. For more information, please visit the El Dorado Post-Fire BAER InciWeb page.
Residents in the mountain and foothill areas should stay informed of weather forecasts. Register your cell phones with the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) / Swift 911 and have an emergency plan. Visit www.sbcounty.gov for more emergency preparedness information."

SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning has received several calls from local residents regarding assistance with damage from the Apple Fire. If you are a local resident or business owner and need assistance,
Exposure to smoke, ashes, and soot from a fire can have harmful effects to your home and health. Long-term exposure to toxins found in smoke, ashes, and soot can contaminate and damage your home as well as cause health effects.
It's possible your home may have dangerous toxins.
If your home has recently been exposed to smoke, ashes, or soot from a fire, it's possible that dangerous particles and contaminates have settled into your home. And although smoke damage can be visible to the eye, it can also be invisible and hard to trace, hiding in hard to reach places. Behind furniture, attics, air ducks, and other air cleaning systems.
A simple clean or wipe down is not enough, and in most cases, can even worsen your situation.
Improper cleaning can further spread dangerous toxins to other areas of the house not affected by a fire. Turning on fans and other HVAC units too can further spread toxins throughout your home, making your home a fire and toxin hazard. Smoke odor and toxins may also remain in furniture, clothing, carpet, and other places after a fire, unless properly cleaned and deodorized. Professional chemicals and equipment are needed to eliminate smoke, ashes, soot, odor and other dangerous toxins. Preparing and Informing yourself for a fire can be the best thing you can do for your home and your health.

It is hard to believe that this time last year we were all cleaning up from the tail end of a massive storm season. Our area had downed trees and power poles. Debris lined the low-lying streets of Beaumont and Banning.
Flash forward to, today. We are 70 degrees and sunny. What a difference a year makes.

Maybe visit the park, ride your bike with your arms stretched out far and wide while you scream freedom!!

Whatever we do I hope it takes our mind off trouble before we must start planning for the next storm... Fire Season.
Look at the beautiful view we get to see from the shop? Banning and Beaumont have the most beautiful mountain views, arguably in all of Southern CA.
It is mid-April and we have had some nice rains and beautiful sunshine. Many people are starting their Spring Cleaning. One of the things to look out for is signs of water damage.
If you have followed our blog, you should already be able to recognize signs of water damage but if you are new here we will go over a couple of the big ones.
On your ceiling look for discoloration, bubbled paint or bowed drywall.
On the exterior of your house, go around the perimeter and look where the soil meets the house. Look for chipped paint, broken stucco or bowed wood siding.
If you see any potential damage, you will want to call us right away so we can come out and inspect the area. You want to always handle potential water damage IMMEDIATELY after you notice it. Not only to prevent further damage but this can impact your insurance claim if the need exists.
So as spring ends and summer begins to arrive, make sure you escaped our winter season without any water damage!!
When something big is happening in the country or world, it is rarely reflected in our small-town communities of Beaumont and Banning. Yet, in the last couple weeks we have seen major changes and we are all learning to adapt and keep going.
Most of us have had to shut our physical doors and find another way of doing business. Over the phone or online sales, closing shop and meeting with only one client at time.
We here at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning have been affected too. We have made every possible adjustment for the safety of our community, families and friends.
We are still able to help you with your Fire & Water Restoration needs 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That, nor our trusted methods of cleaning and restoration haven't changed.
What has changed is we've moved our daily, office meeting online to a video chat. That way we can still maintain our close office bond by seeing each other but stay within the small gathering guidelines.
Another way our business has adapted is we have suspended our business visits. Out of respect for the health of our community business leaders and their customers, we have decided that it is best to communicate via phone and email. So as much as we miss our visits to all of the business owner's in our community, we are proud to do our part to help flatten the curve.

Here you see a professional swabbing the area that is affected with the mold.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.
If You See Signs of Mold, Call Us Today 951-922-2900

Here is an image CALFIRE has used for tip #6 how to prevent a fire this Wildfire Season
With all this downtime from State and National quarantines, now is a great time to make some small but effective changes to you your home to help prevent fire damage.
One of the tips that our local CALFIRE and Riverside County fire has suggested today is putting a metal screen to cap off your chimney and stovepipe outlets. If you're like me, you've always wondered how small the screen openings needed to be. CALFIRE posted about it on Twitter this morning. The openings should be no smaller than 3/8 inch and no bigger than 1/2 an inch.
This is important because the embers get trapped by the screen instead of flying out and free to catch trees and brush on fire, your roof even.
So, this Wildfire Season do everything you can to prevent a fire in your neighborhood. Follow our blogs for more information as we move closer to the season and
ALWAYS make us your second call if you have a fire emergency.

Leach Canyon flood control overflows in this February 2019 photo documenting the massive floods.
What a difference a year makes. This time last year our area was experiencing its wettest February in more than a century of record keeping per NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information. Flash forward and it's quite the opposite. California experienced its driest February on record.
What does that mean for our Riverside County communities? It means get prepared.
Through my research, I read of a time when there was a drier than normal January preceding an even drier February. It caused this phenomenon that came to be called the Miracle of March. Sounds like the makings of an Urban Legend and it may be.
The way it was covered is that there was enough rain that March to make up for the whole dry season and keep California out of a drought. That would be a disaster in present times. With our cities built up and the recent fires and rains we have had, heavy rains could bring floods and lots of damage with it.
So what can you do to help prevent damage to your home or office building? Valuepenguine.com has some great suggestions.
Install check valves on your pipes.Make sure that all pipes entering your house have valves to prevent a flooded sewage system from backing up into your home. Gate valves are preferred over flap valves, since they provide a better seal against flood pressure.
Grade your lawn away from the house. If your lawn tilts toward your house, rainwater will pool around your home. Use a heavy soil that contains clay content and sand to adjust the regrade your lawn so that surface runoff empties into a more appropriate place, such as a street gutter.
Make space between your mulch and siding. Wet mulch can rot your house's siding, which in turn can lead to leaks. Keep a space between your mulch and siding so that the base of your house can completely dry after rainstorms.
Point your downspouts away from your home. If your gutter runoff is not pointed away from your house, and in an appropriate direction, it will pool at the corners of your house and may eventually create leaks in your basement.
Whether The Miracle of March is real or legend it’s always a good idea to make some changes to protect your home or business when you live in flood prone areas; and should March come and dump more water than our area can handle, trust that your local SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning will be here to help you recover and make your home or business look “Like it never even happened.”
Let's face it no one wants to see a sewage backup. So I included this nice picture of a clean toilet! It definitely looks like it never even happened.
It is very important to maintain your drains and toilets. There are many easy ways you can do this yourself. Be careful to not to let hair accumulate and run down the drains. This can be done by doing facial shaving over the trash can and if you have long hair, brush your hair before getting into the bath or shower. Hair clogs are an extremely common cause of plumbing backups. Another common cause is that your child's action figure has a habit of making its way into plumbing, usually the toilet. Should you experience a sewage back up SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning has the equipment ready to tackle this problem!
Here are few of the Bacteria that you can be exposed to via a sewage backup
Acanthamoeba – causes throat, nose, and eye infections
Various Coli – causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and potentially death
Heliobacter Pylori – causes increased risk of developing ulcers
Leptospirosis – causes vomiting and muscle soreness
Salmonella – causes cramping and diarrhea
That is a dangerous problem you want to avoid. Give us a call and let the professionals at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning take care of it.
We will professionally clean and restore your home or business and when we are finished, you will feel "Like it never even happened."

Flu Virus Spreading Through Your Beaumont or Banning Office?
The flu virus can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours. How many surfaces do you touch in just a few hours?
Many germs and viruses live on us and our surroundings on a regular basis. Our repeated exposure is what helps our body become immune to them. The flu virus is a is a common virus that changes year to year and thus making it more difficult to build up a resistance. If you are a business owner this can be of a huge concern. If you have one employee become sick, many more can become infected not only hurting your employees but affecting your production.
Consider the following Virus facts:
· Viruses are present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
· The name ‘virus’ means ‘poison’ and ‘venom’ in Latin
· Viruses can infect anything that is living.
· Viruses need a live host in order to reproduce.
· Washing your hands with warm, soapy water is still the best way to rid your hands from viruses and harmful bacteria. Rinsing your hands first so you can create a good lather is key to an affective hand washing. It is a good idea to wash your arms as well as they often rest on tables, armchairs and laptops, all of which can be repeatedly exposed. Rinse well and use paper towels to dry hands and arms.
What to Do:
· Use gloves and a face mask
· Turn off the HVAC system and fans.
· There are many chemical options to choose from to use on your surfaces. Read the label to make sure it will kill the viruses you are disinfecting for. You can also dilute ¼ cup of bleach to 1 one gallon of water. Wipe all surfaces, let set for 3-5 minutes then wipe with clean water.
· Start looking from ceiling to floor and wipe anything that gets touched.
· You can spray with Lysol type products: Pens and other small objects
· What Not to Do:
· Do NOT clean in a sealed environment. Make sure there is always proper ventilation.
· Do NOT mix chemicals. Especially bleach and vinegar or ammonia.
· Do NOT go at this alone. We offer Commercial Cleaning Service that can help you!

The Remediation Process
Most people like to know what’s going on in their home or commercial property when it comes to dealing with damages and repairs. Like all, most are unaware of the mold removal/remediation process. Below is the process that SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning uses:
1.Assess the damage
Our professionals begin mitigation by inspecting the extent of the mold in the property. They use specialize technology and equipment to assess both the visible and invisible presence of mold.
2.Contain the Mold
After assessing the damages, our professionals contain the affected area by either covering it with plastic or building a containment depending on the extent of the mold. Containing the mold prevents it from spreading to other areas.
3.Filter the air
Once contained, air scrubbers are placed and HEPA vacuums are used to filter the air and prevent particles/chemical in the air from spreading.
4.Remove and Clean Infested Materials
Mold damages can cause destruction of structure to a property. Depending on the extent of the mold damages, special products are sprayed onto the affected area and cleaned or sanded away. If the extent of the mold is large, demolition of the structure may need to be done to remove the mold.
5.Restoration
The mold remediation process is completed by repairing, reconstructing, and restoring the home/ property back to its original condition.
Homeowners and commercial building owners should always be aware of what goes on in their property when dealing with mold. Take precaution and call SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning to handle your mold remediation.
When dealing with an emergency water loss, many people are unaware of the different types of water losses that could happen in their home or business. Knowing the type of water loss help determine the proper drying techniques and designate which damaged materials can and cannot be restored. Water losses fall into three categories: clean water, gray water and black water.
Category 1: Clean Water
This type of water loss comes from a source that does not pose substantial harm. It may include broken water pipes, overflows, and falling rainwater. However, it may not always remain clean after it encounters other surfaces or materials. If left untreated it may become a category 2 water loss.
Category 2: Gray Water
Gray water contains significant contamination and has potential to cause illness or discomfort. Sources include overflows or broke pipes contaminated with chemicals or microorganisms.
Category 3: Black Water
Category 3 water loss is grossly contaminated and may contain harmful agents. This type of water loss carries silt, organic matter, heavy metals, and toxic substances that create black water. With a black water loss, most materials may be removed and properly dispose.
If you are unsure of the type of water loss you are dealing with or don’t know how to go about handling it, call a professional for help. SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is IICRC certified, with highly trained specialist that are available 24/7.
Standing water in a kitchen home after a water loss.
Every home is at risk when it comes to dealing with leaks, floods, and water damages from storms. It can become stressful and costly when repairing these damages. Here are 4 easy steps to follow to lessen the damages if an unexpected water disaster happens in your home.
1. Cut Off the Source
Almost every person’s first response to a water flood is to clean it up. Although that is an important step to lessening the damages, it is best to cut off the water source first. This helps prevent further water flow. If the source isn’t an appliance, find the main water shutoff valve to the house and turn it off. The valve is usually located in the basement or outside of a home.
2.Preserve Your Home
Now, if the extent of the damage is small enough, you can proceed to clean up the water. Using rags, mops, and buckets would be the most beneficial. You may need to move furniture around for easier access to the area. If the water damage is related to sewage water, DO NOT clean up the water and call a remediation company. Sewage water should be left alone to prevent sickness and further contamination to other parts of the home.
3. Contact Restoration Company
To the naked eye, an affected area may look dry and cleaned. However, the materials underneath or behind the surfaces may still be wet. Water damages often leads to mold no matter the extent of the water. Contact a Water Restoration Company, such as SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, to help assess the damages and prevent mold.
4. Do Not Panic
For most this may be the hardest step to do, but don’t panic. Panicking causes us to make decisions and action we might regret. For example, removing any carpet or flooring on your own. Professional restoration experts are there to help and restore your home.
Water damages can happen to any home. Be prepared and follow these 4 easy steps to help minimize the damages and ease the restoration process.
Most people know the importance of having a fire escape plan, but many are unsure on how to go about setting one. Here are five basic tips to consider when planning an emergency fire escape.
1. Smoke Detectors
Having an alert system is an essential element for a solid escape plan. If you own smoke detectors, make sure they have batteries and work properly. If you don't own any, don't have enough, or need help installing it, a professional service can help.
2.Involve Family
When planning a fire escape route, it is important to involve the entire household. Bring your family together for a meeting and discuss the different escape routes in each room. Ensure that everyone understands and is prepared for any scenario. Drawing a picture or map may help, especially for small children.
3.Unblock Exits
During a fire, you will not have time to move furniture or appliances away from the exits. It is important that you keep all exits clear in order to evacuate as quickly and as safely as possible.
4. Choose Meeting Location
Set a location for everyone to meet once they have evacuated. This is especially important for young children who may be lost or disoriented outside. Having a meeting location will also help determine who is present and who is missing.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice
You may never know when a fire might occur. It is best to practice your escape plan regularly to guarantee everyone has it memorized. Practicing your escape plan can help determine which escape route works and which could be better.
While you hope to never use your fire escape plan, you don’t want to be caught without one. Make you and your family’s safety a priority by planning your emergency fire escape plan today. Don’t forget to consider these five basic tips when planning your fire escape plan.

Having to evacuate your home because of a fire may be one of the most scary things that can happen to a homeowner. It means that you could be in incredible danger, and it might mean that your home could be completely lost. An evacuation means you have to move quickly and effectively. That means having a plan set out ahead of time so you are prepared to go at a moment’s notice.
Here’s everything you need to do before, during and after a fire.
Before A Fire Evacuation
Preparation is the most important part of a good evacuation plan. There are several things you do before a fire to make sure you are ready.
Disaster Relief Kit
A disaster relief kit, sometimes called a go bag, contains any essentials that you might need if you have to evacuate in a hurry. Make sure to have extra cash in there, along with extra clothing items, like sweatshirts and footwear. You should also pack emergency health information, but make sure that it is placed in a waterproof bag to keep it safe. Extras of medication should be in there, along with an extra phone charger. There are lots of sample evacuation kits on the internet, so do a search to pick and choose the items that best suit your family.
Family Preparation
There are also certain things that everyone in your household should know if there is a fire. For instance, you should pick out a place for everyone to meet up at if you have to leave in a hurry. This can be in front of a neighbor’s house, for example. Make sure that everyone’s phone numbers are saved in all family members phones so that you can easily communicate if you get separated. Sometimes, a fire can affect entire neighborhoods or even municipalities. If this is the case, you should have some place you can escape to in every possible direction.
Transportation
Make sure that your car always has at least a half tank of gas. If the fire is affecting an entire area, you may need to drive a distance to get away to safety. If you do not have a car, make sure that you have a plan in place and know exactly how you will get away.
During An Evacuation
You will have to think fast while you are evacuating. It is best to already know what you want to do, so you can make the best decisions and keep everyone safe.
Communications
Do your best to keep in touch with everyone from your home at all times. If the cause of your evacuation is a wildfire, then there may be power lines down and your phones may not work. Or, you may have family members that cannot get to where you are. Always listen to the instructions from officials, such as the firefighters and police. They have more information and will know what the safest course of action is. If it is a wildfire that is affecting more than just your home, then you should also listen for emergency updates on news radio and weather stations.
Pets
Do not forget about your pets. Part of your preparation can be to have them well-trained enough to come when you call. Be sure that your pets are in a place where you can easily retrieve them.
Health and Safety
Once you are out of the building, check everyone for injuries and other issues. Emergency responders will be able to give everyone a check over as well. When it comes to being exposed to smoke, there may be unseen issues affecting you, so it is never a bad idea to head to the hospital to get checked out.
After An Evacuation
Once the fire is extinguished, you may be tempted to head back into your home to survey the damage. Do not do so until an authority has stated that it is safe, as damage to the structure may have occurred. In some cases, a home may need to be closed off until it is repaired for people to enter safely.
The best plan of action at this point is hiring a professional fire restoration contractor to help you restore and rebuild your property.
Experiencing a fire in your home can be overwhelming. But, by being proactive and creating a fire evacuation plan, you are taking the first step towards preparing your family for the unexpected.

Conditions In Beaumont Pass Area Might Be Right For Mold
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning knows what to do if mold grows in your home
It’s estimated that more than 1 million types of mold exist, yet less than 10 percent have actually been named. This means mold is very common in both indoor and outdoor environments. While mold and humans can sometimes co-exist without issue, there are certain species of mold that can cause health effects for some people.
If the right conditions exist, mold will grow. Those conditions include:
Water - Different mold types require varying amounts of liquid before growth begins.
Temperature - Normal indoor temperatures will promote mold growth.
Time - Initial mold colonizers can take hold within one day after being exposed to an adequate water supply.
Mold growth can occur in any home, so it’s important to keep an eye out for situations that might promote mold activity. Roof/chimney leaks, wet basements, or condensation from ducts that dampen surrounding insulation are just a few examples of issues that make a house a prime target for mold growth.
If you suspect mold in your home, call SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning to assess the situation. We have the knowledge, tools and track record to effectively remediate mold in your home or business.
If you suspect mold, call us today at 951.922.2900.
What to Do:
Stay out of affected areas.
Turn off the HVAC system and fans.

SERVPRO booth at the 2019 Greater Coachella Valley Small Business Expo
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning attended its first Greater Coachella Valley Small Business Expo held at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA as part of "Small Business Saturday" in November.

This event was a great opportunity to make direct contact with the community, and we look forward to participating again next year.

Each year we inspect and remove a significant amount of debris off our customers roofs.

Exposure to smoke, ashes, and soot from a fire can have harmful effects to your home and health. Long-term exposure to toxins found in smoke, ashes, and soot can contaminate and damage your home as well as have a damaging effect to your lungs and heart.
It's possible your home may have dangerous toxins.
If your home has recently been exposed to smoke, ashes, or soot from a fire, it's possible that dangerous particles and contaminates have settled into your home. And although smoke damage can be visible to the eye, it can also be invisible and hard to trace, hiding in hard to reach places. Behind furniture, attics, air ducks, and other air cleaning systems.
A simple clean or wipe down is not enough, and in most cases, can even MAKE THINGS WORSE. Improper cleaning can further spread dangerous toxins to other areas of the house not affected by a fire. Turning on fans and other HVAC units can further spread toxins throughout your home, making your home a fire and toxin hazard. Smoke odor and toxins may also remain in furniture, clothing, carpet, and other places after a fire, unless properly cleaned and deodorized. Professional chemicals and equipment are needed to eliminate smoke, ashes, soot, odor and other dangerous toxins. Preparing and Informing yourself for a fire can be the best thing you can do for your home and your health.

Soot removal after a fire by SERVPRO fire specialist
We’re not going to kid you. Fire damage restoration is tough work. People call SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning frequently to ask for advice on how to clean up after a fire. Here are seven of the best tips we give people who ask about fire damage restoration.
Most people can put these tips into practice. But remember that fire damage restoration takes time, work, and skill. Realistically consider whether you want to try these ideas on your own or whether you’d be better off hiring the highly trained staff of SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning who will guarantee their work.
Remove Smoke Damage
With any fire you’ll have a degree of smoke damage to your walls, wall paper, and paint. If the smoke damage is not too serious, you should be able to scrub it clean with detergents and bleach. Soot from smoke damage is greasy stuff, so always try to dust as much of it off from a surface before trying to scrub the surface clean. Often, you’ll want to repaint, but make sure all surfaces are clean and dry before you paint.
Limit Activity & Other Simple Fire Damage Restoration Steps
Until your house is restored, limit your activity and movement in the house. This helps prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets. Keep people’s hands clean so you don’t further soil upholstery, walls, and woodwork. Protect your things by placing clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas. Before you clean know the best cleaning method for that particular cleaning job (one example: Clean and protect chrome with a light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.) Wash both sides of the leaves on your houseplants. Change your HVAC filter and tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers.

Get Rid of Mold & Mildew
Firefighters are great. They save many a live and many a home. But they do introduce mold and mildew into houses when they must use water to extinguish the fire. SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning highly recommends you hire fire damage restoration professionals to deal with mold and mildew. Mold and mildew can cause serious health problems. It’s difficult for a nonprofessional to know for certain if all the areas affected by the mold and mildew are cleaned properly. And mold and mildew can contaminate your furniture, carpets, clothing, mattresses, walls, and vents. The best thing you can do immediately is to air out every room and clean out all vents and filters.
Replace Carpets. Clean And Dry Your Floors
Your floors and carpets end up absorbing the worst of the damage from all the water used to put out a fire. In almost every case, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning recommends that you pull up any carpets that have water damage and replace them. Water can also seep underneath vinyl flooring and into the cracks in hardwood. You must address this. If you have experience with flooring, you can lift it up and clean under it BUT . . . calling SERVPRO is a better for your peace of mind.
Avoid Smearing Soot Into Clothing
Cleaning smoke damage from clothing is one of the biggest jobs you’ll have after a fire. Make sure you don’t smear the greasy soot into the clothing or just throw the smoky clothes into the wash. Often times dry cleaning is the best bet, and you should ask around local dry cleaners to see if any have experience with post-fire laundry.
Scrub, Soak, And Cleaning Dishes
Dishes are also important items to clean thoroughly after a fire because they will be in contact with your food. Scrub all dishes well, let them soak in a solution of bleach and water (2 tablespoons of bleach per gallon) for at least 20 minutes and scrub some more for safety. When in doubt, if a dish, pot, or pan won’t come clean, cut your losses and throw it out – especially rubber or wooden dishes that absorb smoke.

Certain things shouldn’t be allowed to grow, Mold is one of them.
Not all Molds are created equal
Mold and fungi naturally grow and are part of our environment. Over 100,000 different strands have been found to exist. Certain fungi and molds are useful and even help in the preparation of certain things. For example, Blue Cheese contains a certain mold which helps to give it that peculiar taste we all love and enjoy. If it weren’t for mold, we wouldn’t have the bacteria fighting Penicillin we all need and want when sick. And while certain molds and fungi may add value to our lives, other molds may be harmful and dangerous, especially if allowed to grow and spread in your home.
Mold growth inside your home can be the result of excessive water intrusion or damage not properly handled.
Most water intrusions are the result of storm damage, flooding, plumbing, standing leaks, and poor control of humidity inside the home. Areas that containing moisture and for a long period of time are more likely to have mold. Improper drying and handling of the situation can result in the growth and spread of mold. And while most mold may be visible, mold may also exist in areas not visible to the eye, making this all the more serious since its harder to detect.
The growth of mold in your home may have negative effects on your health.
Among those most affected are:
Pregnant woman.
Infants & children.
The elderly.
People with compromised respiratory systems.
People with weak immune systems.
Don’t allow Mold to Grow! If you suspect that your home or business may have mold, Contact us immediately at (951) 922-2900
In the Meantime:
What to Do:
Stay out of affected areas.
Turn off the HVAC system and fans.

Water damage losses in homes are increasing at a rapid rate. Not only are these types of losses costly, but they cause major disruption and inconvenience to families. At SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, we are interested in minimizing this loss if you should ever have the misfortune to suffer a water damage loss.
Mention water damage and most people think of flooding after days of heavy downpours. Yet, even on a sunny day, your home can become waterlogged. Whether the culprit is a leaking water heater, over-loaded washing machine, or an overflowing sink, the damage to your home can be devastating—and costly.
Several modern-day conveniences can develop problems that lead to water damage. Some of the most common trouble spots are:
APPLIANCES The most common source for water damage is the water heater, followed by the clothes washer and the air conditioning unit. The age of an appliance is a major factor. For example, over time, water heaters rust on the bottom. Damage can be particularly heavy when the leaky water heater is located upstairs or in an attic.
HOSES Appliance hoses deteriorate from the inside out. Rubber hoses consist of two layers of rubber with a cloth fiber inside that deteriorates with time. Hoses with external stainless steel braided wire may cost as little as $5 more than rubber-fiber hoses, but can be as much as 10 times less likely to fail.
PIPES & DRAINS Common problems include stoppages of toilets and drains (especially kitchen drains, where grease can build up), stoppages of garbage disposals, clogging of air conditioner lines, stoppages of drains from clothes washers due to lint accumulation, and deterioration and bursting of water lines to clothes washers. Roots in sewer lines cause problems as well. In addition, in older homes, cast iron and copper pipes are often installed next to each other. Over time, the copper pipes can corrode the cast iron pipes and then cause extensive damage by leaking or bursting.
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is always there 24/7 to clean up the aftermath of the flood and make it "Like it never even happened."

DOES YOUR RIVERSIDE COUNTY HOME HAVE A MOLD PROBLEM
Mold Spores can be spread throughout your home in 48 hours.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.
If You See Signs of Mold, Call Us Today 951-922-2900

The active wildfires here in Southern California are increasing their impact as growing Santa Ana winds add fuel to these devastating blazes that are encroaching in our area. According to the New York Times, new fires broke out in Malibu on December 7, with at least 96,000 acres already burned in the Ventura area and 116,000 acres in Los Angeles County. Evacuations have closed hundreds of schools and forced 200,000 of our neighbors to seek safety.
The “Idyllwild Fire” in the Riverside County area continues to burn with the aid of strong winds. This fire has caused the closure of the parts of the 10 freeway and a boil-water advisory was issued for Western Riverside County.
SANTA ANA WINDS:
The Santa Ana winds that are enabling the fires to rapidly increase their reach can have speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour. They are not expected to diminish until Friday into Saturday at the earliest. The National Weather Service has warned of “very rapid fire growth” in this area. SERVPRO Meteorologist Lela Davis said that the Santa Ana winds were already very dry when they reached the Southern California valley, allowing them to quickly pull moisture out of vegetation, increasing the risk for wildfires. For the first time ever, a purple wind warning was issued for today under the color-coded system used to advise about high winds. This purple warning pushed wind expectations from the “high” category to “extreme”.
READY TO HELP
Here at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning we are monitoring this wildfire situation closely. Our thoughts are with those neighbors who may be put in harms’ way during this event. In many cases, a wildfire can result in a total loss for a home or business, but in others it may be a partial loss, or can result in mild smoke damage.

Smoke and Soot Damage Can Cause a Pervasive Odor in Your Beaumont / Banning / Desert Hot Springs Home

The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:
Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber
Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood
Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.
Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire
Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.

This Riverside County home was flooded due to heavy rains.
A property can flood at any time, although flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall. Basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a building and are normally built partly or entirely below ground level. There are a number of reasons why your Riverside County basements could flood, including:
A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe
Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home
Storm sewer backup
Sanitary sewer backup
Foundation drainage failure
Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure
And many more

Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.

Enjoy this recipe and the lovely aroma of cooking beans.
We at SERVPRO of Beaumont / Banning wish you a happy holiday season.
There isn't a whole lot that beats the taste of "Frijoles de la Olla," a nice big pot of freshly cooked pinto beans. A dash of pepper, a sprinkle of cumin - simmered up in a big pot for hours, filling the air with the essence of a Mexican kitchen. Just the thought of it sends my taste buds into overload with anticipation!
BUT... have you ever burned the beans? Burning beans can very quickly turn the smell of heavenly legumes into a hellish nightmare.
Sometimes, when boiling a pot for 3+ hours, people get distracted and forget about the bubbling stew on the stove. Maybe someone wants to go out for a jog, maybe they get an unexpected call from friends, and the beans are FORGOTTEN!
It is very rare for a fire to break out from a pot of forgotten beans. Unfortunately, the one thing that is unavoidable is the SMELL!
Burned beans have a tendency to permeate EVERY surface in the home. Furniture, rugs, wood, clothing - they are all susceptible to the overpowering aroma caused by the scorched legumes.
What should you do if you burn the beans?
1) THROW THE BEANS AWAY! - Once burned, they cannot be salvaged. Sorry!
2) Open all windows and turn on the fan of your AC. - You want to get the smoke out of the house as soon as possible.
3) Call the experts at SERVPRO Beaumont/Banning. - While there are countless DIY instructions on how to clean the smell out of a house, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning has been doing this since 1967. We have the equipment and know-how to quickly and efficiently get the smell out of your home. Many DIY methods take weeks, and even then a residual smell can linger for a year or longer. Don't live with that stench for a year! Let us clean it up! It will be "Like it never even happened."
Here is a recipe for "Frijoles de la olla" that you can do in a crock-pot. Much safer than leaving a boiling pot on the stove!
No-fuss recipe for frijoles de la olla made in a slow-cooker with pinto beans.
Ingredients
2 cups frijoles pintos (pinto beans)
2 cups chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
4 cups boiling water
1/2 of a white onion, sliced 1/4 inch-thick
1 chile guajillo
1/2 of a small head of garlic (about 4-6 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (to be added in last 45 minutes of cooking)
Instructions
First, rinse your beans under cool water to remove any dirt or debris and get rid of any broken beans. There’s no need to soak the beans overnight!
Layer the onion slices along the bottom of the crock-pot. Place the beans directly over the top of the onions. Tear off the stem of the chile and tuck it into the beans. Add the chicken broth. Remove the papery skin from the garlic cloves and place in the crock-pot whole. Add the ground cumin.
You’ll notice the chicken broth isn’t enough to cover the beans and keep all the ingredients moist while cooking. Add 4 cups of boiling water over the top, making sure all the ingredients are under the broth and water and then put the cover on the slow-cooker.
Turn the heat on to high for 5-6 hours (individual slow-cookers can vary slightly in temperature). If the beans start to get dry during cooking, add 1-2 extra cups of boiling water. I only had to add about one cup in the last hour. You can substitute boiling chicken broth in place of the extra boiling water if you like. Add the salt in the last 45 minutes of cooking and stir it in gently to incorporate.
The beans should be soft to bite and have a nice broth when they’re finished, but shouldn’t be watery.
A few notes: if you don’t have a guajillo chile at home but you have other dried chiles, any other red chile you like and have is a fine substitute. If you have frijoles bayos instead of pintos, that’s a fine substitute as well. To prep this dish the night before, add everything to the crock-pot except the liquids and salt. The next day, add the liquid and turn on high. If you’re planning to let this cook while you’re at work all day, use a slow-cooker that has a timer that will turn the heat off or to a very low “keep warm” setting after the cooking time. You can then add the salt, reheat them for 30-60 minutes in the slow-cooker and enjoy!

SERVPRO BEAUMONT / BANNING / DESERT HOT SPRINGS HERE TO HELP - ALWAYS
The active wildfires here in Southern California are increasing their impact as growing Santa Ana winds add fuel to these devastating blazes that are encroaching in our area. According to the New York Times, new fires broke out in Malibu on December 7, with at least 96,000 acres already burned in the Ventura area and 116,000 acres in Los Angeles County. Evacuations have closed hundreds of schools and forced 200,000 of our neighbors to seek safety. The “Thomas Fire” in the Ventura area continues to burn with the aid of strong winds. This fire has caused the closure of the 101 freeway and a boil-water advisory was issued for Ventura County. Santa Ana winds The Santa Ana winds that are enabling the fires to rapidly increase their reach can have speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour. They are not expected to diminish until Friday into Saturday at the earliest. The National Weather Service has warned of “very rapid fire growth” in this area. SERVPRO Meteorologist Lela Davis said that the Santa Ana winds were already very dry when they reached the Southern California valley, allowing them to quickly pull moisture out of vegetation, increasing the risk for wildfires. For the first time ever, a purple wind warning was issued for today under the color-coded system used to advise about high winds. This purple warning pushed wind expectations from the “high” category to “extreme”. Ready to help, here at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, we are monitoring this wildfire situation closely. Our thoughts are with those neighbors who may be put in harms’ way during this event. In many cases, a wildfire can result in a total loss for a home or business, but in others it may be a partial loss, or can result in mild smoke damage. If your home or business is affected by a wildfire, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is Here to Help®.

“On December 7, 2017 our home was involved in the Lilac fire. 75 of our neighbors lost their homes. We were one of the lucky ones. Although our home was spared, there was smoke damage. Tracy and her SERVPRO team were wonderful. She made me feel everything was going to be ok. Tracy reassured us when we moved back in, the smoke smell would be to a minimal if not gone all together. It was gone when we got home. And our home was cleaned inside and out. They did a wonderful job. It almost felt as it nothing has every happened. I feel Tracy went up and above what she needed to do and we will be forever grateful.” — Maureen Smith in Fallbrook, CA.
“The pro part of SERVPRO was pretty evident in the professionalism with which they showed in getting our house and contents cleaned. They did a very thorough job. When you are affected with something like a wild fire it is nice to have something go right.” — Samuel David Murdock in Fallbrook, CA.

Conditions In Beaumont, Banning and Desert Hot Springs Might Be Right For Mold
SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning knows what to do if mold grows in your home.
It’s estimated that more than 1 million types of mold exist, yet less than 10 percent have actually been named. This means mold is very common in both indoor and outdoor environments. While mold and humans can sometimes co-exist without issue, there are certain species of mold that can cause health effects for some people.
If the right conditions exist, mold will grow. Those conditions include:
Water - Different mold types require varying amounts of liquid before growth begins.
Temperature - Normal indoor temperatures will promote mold growth.
Time - Initial mold colonizers can take hold within one day after being exposed to an adequate water supply.
Mold growth can occur in any home, so it’s important to keep an eye out for situations that might promote mold activity. Roof/chimney leaks, wet basements, or condensation from ducts that dampen surrounding insulation are just a few examples of issues that make a house a prime target for mold growth.
If you suspect mold in your home, call SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning to assess the situation. We have the knowledge, tools and track record to effectively remediate mold in your home or business.

Extractors are crucial in water emergency services since they help to extract water quick from a wet environment, helping to dry the area much faster.
The best way to remove water and moisture from a water damaged structure when a water intrusion occurs is by extraction.

The active wildfires here in Southern California are increasing their impact as growing Santa Ana winds add fuel to these devastating blazes that are encroaching in our area. According to the New York Times, new fires broke out in Malibu on December 7, with at least 96,000 acres already burned in the Ventura area and 116,000 acres in Los Angeles County. Evacuations have closed hundreds of schools and forced 200,000 of our neighbors to seek safety. The “Thomas Fire” in the Ventura area continues to burn with the aid of strong winds. This fire has caused the closure of the 101 freeway and a boil-water advisory was issued for Ventura County. Santa Ana winds The Santa Ana winds that are enabling the fires to rapidly increase their reach can have speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour. They are not expected to diminish until Friday into Saturday at the earliest. The National Weather Service has warned of “very rapid fire growth” in this area. SERVPRO Meteorologist Lela Davis said that the Santa Ana winds were already very dry when they reached the Southern California valley, allowing them to quickly pull moisture out of vegetation, increasing the risk for wildfires. For the first time ever, a purple wind warning was issued for today under the color-coded system used to advise about high winds. This purple warning pushed wind expectations from the “high” category to “extreme”. Ready to help, here at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, we are monitoring this wildfire situation closely. Our thoughts are with those neighbors who may be put in harms’ way during this event. In many cases, a wildfire can result in a total loss for a home or business, but in others it may be a partial loss, or can result in mild smoke damage. If your home or business is affected by a wildfire, SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning is Here to Help®.

Improper drying and handling of the situation can result in the growth and spread of mold.
There are certain things in life that grow that we enjoy watching. From our children, to our pets, to the flowers we work so hard to attend to in our garden, growth is a natural part of life. But not all growth is created equal. Certain things shouldn't be allowed to grow, Mold is one of them.
Not all Molds are created equal
Mold and fungi naturally grow and are part of our environment. Over 100,000 different strands have been found to exist. Certain fungi and molds are useful and even help in the preparation of certain things. For example, Blue Cheese contains a certain mold which helps to give it that peculiar taste we all love and enjoy. If it weren't for mold, we wouldn't have the bacteria fighting Penicillin we all need and want when sick. And while certain molds and fungi may add value to our lives, other molds may be harmful and dangerous, especially if allowed to grow and spread throughout our homes.
Mold growth inside your home can be the result of excessive water intrusion or damage not properly handled.
Most water intrusions are the result of storm damage, flooding, plumbing, standing leaks, and poor control of humidity inside the home. Areas that containing moisture and for a long period of time are more likely to have mold. Improper drying and handling of the situation can result in the growth and spread of mold. And while most mold may be visible, mold may also exist in areas not visible to the eye, making this all the more serious since its harder to detect.
The growth of mold in your home may have negative effects on your health!
Among those most affected are:
Pregnant woman.
Infants & children.
The elderly.
People with compromised respiratory systems.
People with weak immune systems.
Don't allow Mold to Grow! If you suspect that your home or business may have mold, Contact us immediately at (951) 922-2900
In the Meantime:
What to Do:
Stay out of affected areas.
Turn off the HVAC system and fans.
Contact SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning for mold remediation services.

Does Your Beaumont, Banning, or Desert Hot Springs Home Have A Mold Problem?
In Beaumont, Banning, and Desert Hot Springs mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

Banning and Beaumont - What to do if your house smells smoky from burned food - and a GREAT recipe!
Frijoles de la Olla are delicious! Read the recipe for a Crock-Pot beans recipe to make sure that you don't burn them!
There isn't a whole lot that beats the taste of "Frijoles de la Olla," a nice big pot of freshly cooked pinto beans. A dash of pepper, a sprinkle of cumin - simmered up in a big pot for hours, filling the air with the essence of a Mexican kitchen. Just the thought of it sends my tastebuds into overload with anticipation!
BUT... have you ever burned the beans? Burning beans can very quickly turn the smell of heavenly legumes into a hellish nightmare.
Sometimes, when boiling a pot for 3+ hours, people get distracted and forget about the bubbling stew on the stove. Maybe someone wants to go out for a jog, maybe they get an unexpected call from friends, and the beans are FORGOTTEN!
It is very rare for a fire to break out from a pot of forgotten beans. Unfortunately, the one thing that is unavoidable is the SMELL!
Burned beans have a tendency to permeate EVERY surface in the home. Furniture, rugs, wood, clothing - they are all susceptible to the overpowering aroma caused by the scorched legumes.
What should you do if you burn the beans?
1) THROW THE BEANS AWAY! - Once burned, they cannot be salvaged. Sorry!
2) Open all windows and turn on the fan of your AC. - You want to get the smoke out of the house as soon as possible.
3) Call the experts at SERVPRO. - While there are countless DIY instructions on how to clean the smell out of a house, SERVPRO has been doing this since 1967. We have the equipment and know-how to quickly and efficiently get the smell out of your home. Many DIY methods take weeks, and even then a residual smell can linger for a year or longer. Don't live with that stench for a year! Let us clean it up! It will be "like it never happened."
Here is a recipe for "Frijoles de la olla" that you can do in a crock-pot. Much safer than leaving a boiling pot on the stove!
No-fuss recipe for frijoles de la olla made in a slow-cooker with pinto beans.
Ingredients
2 cups frijoles pintos (pinto beans)
2 cups chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
4 cups boiling water
1/2 of a white onion, sliced 1/4 inch-thick
1 chile guajillo
1/2 of a small head of garlic (about 4-6 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (to be added in last 45 minutes of cooking)
Instructions
First, rinse your beans under cool water to remove any dirt or debris and get rid of any broken beans. There’s no need to soak the beans overnight!
Layer the onion slices along the bottom of the crock-pot. Place the beans directly over the top of the onions. Tear off the stem of the chile and tuck it into the beans. Add the chicken broth. Remove the papery skin from the garlic cloves and place in the crock-pot whole. Add the ground cumin.
You’ll notice the chicken broth isn’t enough to cover the beans and keep all the ingredients moist while cooking. Add 4 cups of boiling water over the top, making sure all the ingredients are under the broth and water and then put the cover on the slow-cooker.
Turn the heat on to high for 5-6 hours (individual slow-cookers can vary slightly in temperature). If the beans start to get dry during cooking, add 1-2 extra cups of boiling water. I only had to add about one cup in the last hour. You can substitute boiling chicken broth in place of the extra boiling water if you like. Add the salt in the last 45 minutes of cooking and stir it in gently to incorporate.
The beans should be soft to bite and have a nice broth when they’re finished, but shouldn’t be watery.
A few notes: if you don’t have a guajillo chile at home but you have other dried chiles, any other red chile you like and have is a fine substitute. If you have frijoles bayos instead of pintos, that’s a fine substitute as well. To prep this dish the night before, add everything to the crock-pot except the liquids and salt. The next day, add the liquid and turn on high. If you’re planning to let this cook while you’re at work all day, use a slow-cooker that has a timer that will turn the heat off or to a very low “keep warm” setting after the cooking time. You can then add the salt, reheat them for 30-60 minutes in the slow-cooker and enjoy!
