Salvageable vs Unsalvageable Contents

Do you know the difference between salvageable and unsalvageable contents? 

There are many things to consider when determining what can be saved and what must be discarded. First thing to consider is the cleanliness of the water. For example if the water came from a sewage back up then all items that were damaged would need to be discarded. If the source of the water was from a sink, certain items may be able to be cleaned and saved depending upon the material.

The next step to consider would be the amount of the water as well as how long the water issue has gone unaddressed. Water that has been in the home and not addressed can cause health effects. Certain types of material, plastic, glass and metal can easily be salvaged. While other items such as gypsum board, carpet and drywall are easily permeated and tend to suffer the most damage and are usually replaced.

If an item is irreplaceable, then the decision would be left to the homeowner. We at SERVPRO® of Westfield, Southwick would do our best to improve the condition of the piece to the best of our ability.

Is your home safe from electrical fires? . Here are just a few things that you should be aware of that could cause an electrical fire in your home. 

Consider replacing old worn out receptacles and/or wiring. 

Overloading a circuit could cause a fire. If you need additional outlets call a licensed electrician to add more outlets to your home. 

Do you have old appliances that have frayed cords? Consider buying newer appliances to prevent the possibility of a fire in your home. 

Be sure to check the recommended bulb wattage for all of your lighting fixtures. Never use anything higher than what the fixture recommends. 

Always unplug space heaters when you are not at home or when you are sleeping. Never have your space heater too close to curtains or any other flammable items. 

If you do have a fire, SERVPRO will be here to restore your home properly.
