Mold in the crawl space

Mold growth on Crawl space wall
SERVPRO of Sioux Falls was recently called out to look at a possible mold growth in the crawl space of a lake home. Homes upon the waterfront are notorious for having high humidity and encountering water damage from ground water seepage.
The home in question had about 2 feet of water for almost over a year. As you can guess, this provided the optimal conditions for the growth and spread of mold.
Working in a crawl space or other confined spaces are one of the areas that SERVPRO specializes in! Our crews are ready to perform the work, wherever it needs to be done. Using the proper PPE and mold remediation techniques, our technicians are able to successfully remediate mold in nearly any setting.
If you have a possible mold growth in your home or business, give a call to SERVPRO of Sioux Falls at 605-213-3303 to schedule your mold estimate today!
Home smoke alarms

Smoke alarm with smoke visible
As fires in the home can be devastating, we wanted to help our customers be prepared in their homes. Today we will talk a little bit about smoke detectors and the important role they play in protecting your family from harm.
Why you need smoke detectors in the home
Smoke detectors are the last line of defense between your family and the dangers of a fire. A sleeping person could miss the sight and smell of smoke and be completely oblivious to any threats. This is one of the reasons it is recommended to put smoke alarms inside and just outside of every room where someone sleeps in your home. According to the National Fire Protection Association, three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes with either no smoke alarms or non-functioning smoke alarms. Functioning smoke alarms are a must have in your home.
Smoke Alarm Maintenance
When you have functioning smoke alarms installed, it is important to conduct routine tests and maintenance. It is recommended you test your smoke alarms monthly by pressing the test button on your alarm. While not always possible with older models, if you purchase new models, try to get them on an interconnected network so when one sounds, all the other in the home go off. Smoke alarms should be replaced every ten years.
Sump Pump Maintenance

If you have a sump pump in your Sioux Falls area home, you may often find yourself not thinking about it unless something goes wrong with it. To avoid potential sump pump disasters, it is important to perform regular maintenance on your pump.
Sump pumps are typically installed at the lowest point of your home. Sump pumps are used to pump water out of your home when water levels reach your foundation. A properly functioning sump pump will kick on when water levels get too high, sending water out to help keep your basement dry. The typical sump pump runs on electricity, but if you live in an area prone to violent storms that can cause power outages you may want to consider purchasing a battery back up-operated sump pump or a water pressure-activated sump pump. The middle of a storm is a terrible time for you to discover your sump pump has failed.
Performing a full maintenance check on your sump pump system is a pretty simple process that can potentially help you avoid a costly water loss.
- Before adjusting or moving sump pump, disconnect the sump pump from its electricity source.
- Remove the pump from the well and check the intake grate for any rocks or debris that could have been pulled in.
- Clear well of any debris.
- Put sump pump back in to place and reconnect to power source.
- Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour in to the sump well to make sure the system kicks on and is operating as should.
- Outside your home, check the condition of the pump discharge pipe, making sure it is free of blockage and debris.
If your sump pump appears to not be operating as intended, do not hesitate to call a professional to assess your system.
Should you encounter a sump pump failure in your home or business, SERVPRO of Sioux Falls is standing by 24/7 to help make it “Like it never even happened.”
Summer Safety Series: Storm preparedness

Summer is finally here and that means its storm season! Wind, hail and thunderstorms usually happen during the warm months in the afternoons or evenings. But keep in mind, they can occur throughout the entire year at any time of the day or night. Protect yourself and your home by preparing and knowing what to do before, during and after a storm hits.
Preparations
The first step is to create a disaster plan. Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do when a severe storm hits and where to meet if you should get separated from one another. Have an emergency kit, including a first aid kit. Some basic supplies to have on hand include, battery-powered flashlight, canned goods, bottled water, candles and a battery-powered radio.
There are some simple precautions you can take in almost any situation. If there’s a concern about flooding, wind or lightning, you can:
• Clean your gutters• Keep tree limbs trimmed• Be aware of weather forecasts and patterns• Secure loose patio furniture• Seek shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows
The Aftermath
After the storm has passed and it’s safe to go outside, go and take a look at your homes exterior. Note any damage including broken windows, fallen tree branches or missing shingles. Don’t overlook the small things like dents and dings. These could be signs of worse damage.
The next step is to call your insurance agent. Be prepared by having your policy number at the ready and by reviewing your policy and having an understanding of your coverage.
We hope disasters don’t strike, but if they do SERVPRO of Sioux Falls is here to help 24/7 to make it "Like it never even happened."
Benefits of changing HVAC air filter

Summer has sure gotten off to a hot start in the Sioux Falls area. If you can’t make it to the pool or a body of water, staying inside with the air conditioning on is about your only other option for keeping cool.
As usage of your HVAC system increases so does your energy bill and the amount of dust and debris being circulated through your home. These are just some of the reasons to regularly change your HVAC system air filter. A clean filter will improve efficiency, saving you money, as well as more effectively trapping more dust and debris. Cleaner air circulating through the home will help alleviate allergies and odors.
On top of helping maintain higher air quality, changing your air filter can help extend the life of your HVAC system. To get a fresh start with your HVAC system, pair the next changing of your HVAC air filter with a duct cleaning from SERVPRO of Sioux Falls! We will use our truck-mounted duct cleaning system to clean and remove debris from your entire home’s HVAC system.
