SERVPRO Team Cox's Fire Safety Advice for a SafeTurkey Frying Holiday

11/19/2024 (Permalink)

The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the beloved tradition of frying turkeys. While deep-fried turkey can be delicious, the process also poses significant fire risks if not done properly. As your local restoration experts, SERVPRO Team Cox is here to offer important safety tips to help you enjoy a safe and worry-free Thanksgiving.

Turkey Frying Fire Safety Tips

1. Fry Outdoors, Away from Structures
   Always fry your turkey outside on a flat, non-combustible surface. Keep the fryer at least 10 feet away from your home, garage, deck or any other flammable structure.
   
   
2. Ensure Your Turkey Is Completely Thawed
   Ice and oil don’t mix! Frying a partially frozen turkey can cause the oil to overflow, leading to serious fire hazards. Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and dry before frying.
   
   
3. Use the Correct Amount of Oil
   Overfilling the fryer can cause oil to spill out when the turkey is lowered in, creating a fire hazard. Follow the fryer manufacturer's instructions to determine the correct amount of oil.
   
   
4. Keep a Fire Extinguisher Nearby
   Always have a multi-purpose, grease-rated fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies. Never use water to put out a grease fire, as it can make the fire spread.
   
   
5. Monitor the Temperature
   Frying oil should be kept between 325°F and 375°F. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil's temperature to prevent overheating and oil combustion.
   
   
6. Stay Attentive
   Never leave your fryer unattended. Cooking fires happen fast, and you need to be ready to act immediately if something goes wrong.

What to Do If an Accident Happens

Even with the best preparation, accidents can happen. If a fire occurs while frying your turkey, call 911 immediately. Once everyone is safe, SERVPRO Team Cox is here to help. Our fire restoration process includes assessing the damage, removing soot and restoring your property. No matter the size of the fire, we are ready to respond quickly and efficiently, ensuring you can get back to enjoying your holiday.

Call SERVPRO Team Cox Today
If an accident occurs, don’t hesitate to call us for fast, professional fire damage restoration. Whether a small kitchen fire or a larger disaster, SERVPRO Team Cox has the expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to restore your property.

Stay safe this holiday season and remember we’re here when you need us most.

Prepare Your Business for Winter Weather

11/4/2024 (Permalink)

As winter approaches, businesses must prepare for freezing temperatures, snowstorms and the potential damage these conditions can bring. From frozen pipes to snowy roofs and foundation cracks, the risks are real—but with proactive steps, you can minimize the impact on your property. At SERVPRO Team Cox, we offer expert advice on winter weather preparedness and how to protect your business from costly repairs.

Winter Weather Risks to Your Business

1. Frozen Pipes
   When temperatures drop, water in your pipes can freeze and expand, leading to cracks or even burst pipes. This can cause extensive water damage, interrupt business operations and lead to costly repairs.
   Prevention Tips:
• Insulate pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements, attics and crawl spaces.
• Keep your thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even after business hours.
• Seal cracks and openings around windows, doors and pipe entry points to reduce cold air drafts.
  
  
2. Snow and Ice Buildup on Roofs
   Heavy snow and ice accumulation can put undue stress on your roof, causing leaks, structural damage or even roof collapse. Flat roofs, in particular, are vulnerable to snow load.
   Prevention Tips:
• Schedule regular roof inspections to check for weak spots or areas that may collect heavy snow.
• Install snow guards to prevent large amounts of snow from sliding off at once.
• Clear ice and snow promptly using professional services to avoid damage to the roof surface.
  
  
3. Foundation Cracks
   Winter weather can lead to foundation problems. When water seeps into small cracks in the foundation and freezes, it expands, potentially causing the cracks to grow. This can compromise the structural integrity of your building.
   Prevention Tips:
• Inspect your foundation for existing cracks and seal them before winter sets in.
• Ensure proper drainage around your building to prevent water buildup near the foundation.
• Maintain your gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing away from the building.

Be Proactive, Stay Prepared

Preventing winter weather damage to your business is all about being proactive. Routine inspections and maintenance before the cold hits can save you time, money and headaches in the long run. However, if disaster strikes, having a plan ensures you can respond quickly to minimize downtime.

What SERVPRO Team Cox Can Do for You

Even with the best preparation, winter weather can still damage your business. That’s where SERVPRO Team Cox comes in. If frozen pipes burst, snow damages your roof or foundation cracks lead to water intrusion, we’re ready to help.

We understand the importance of getting your business back up and running as quickly as possible. Our highly trained technicians are equipped with the latest technology to assess, mitigate and restore your property from winter damage, like it never even happened®.

Contact SERVPRO Team Cox Today
Whether preparing for winter or dealing with its aftermath, SERVPRO Team Cox is here to help protect your business.

It's Time to Winterize Your Home

12/6/2022 (Permalink)

Winterize Your Home

As temperatures are now cooler, have you taken the opportunity to make sure your home is effectively winterized? Winterization is not only the process of preparing and protecting a home or building from potentially freezing temperatures but also protecting it from the effects that such freezing temperatures could have including pipe bursts and water damage. Most structures are built to withstand the typical temperatures in which they reside. However, cold temperatures over a while can still test the ability to withstand such elements. 

Make sure you’ve completed these quick and easy recommendations to prevent a temperature-related disaster.

1. Turn up the inside heat temperature by a few degrees. Even though this may raise your utility bill a few dollars, it will save you the potentially large expense of disaster recovery.
2. If the weather is calling for freezing temperatures, be sure to turn any sink, bath, and outside faucets to a drip to prevent them from freezing.
3. Also if there is going to be freezing temperatures, open cabinets underneath sinks so that the heat can keep the pipes warm. You can also wrap your pipes in insulation for an extra measure of protection.
4. Whether your home or business is occupied or empty, never completely turn off the heat. To prevent freezing or other damage, buildings need to be at least 55 degrees even if they are empty. 
5. If your home or business is in an older building, there is an increased risk of air drafts that allows the cold temperatures to enter. Be sure to block such drafts. Plastic winter insulation kits are available for drafty windows. Caulk or weather stripping can also help with drafts. 
6. Make sure that your vents can flow freely without being blocked by furniture or any other obstruction.
7. Change your filters if needed to ensure your heat is working properly. Heat that is working improperly can be a risk for fire, carbon monoxide, and more.
8. Make sure your fans are reversed to a clockwise rotation for them to rotate the warm air towards the ceiling downward and into the room. 
9. Be sure your gutters are free of leaves and any other blockages. Otherwise, excess water can freeze and cause unwanted damage to your property including water falling down the side of the house and saturating the ground around your foundation, along the walls, and in your basement. Also, Ice dams could cause major water damage to your roof, siding, and inside your walls.
10. Replace any loose shingles on your roof. If the roof is exposed to rain or snow, your home is subject to water damage. 

By taking these measures now, your property will be winter-ready for the elements of the season before disaster strikes.

However, should you suffer damages, we are available 24/7 - Call us at 704-393-7890.

Holiday Home Safety

12/20/2021 (Permalink)

Be safe during the holidays.

The holidays are in full swing, but before your family rolls into town, is your home really holiday ready when it comes to fire and electrical safety? The National Fire Protection Association claims that electrical issues are responsible for one in three Christmas fires. You can prevent your home from being a statistic by following these easy recommendations before the weekend.

Lights

• Double check your lights. In fact, look over each string for signs of damage including a frayed cord, defective or rusted sockets, detached connections or exposed wires. If your bulbs need to be replaced, be sure to use the same voltage in order to reduce any risk of the bulbs overheating, melting or sparking and causing a fire. If possible, be sure to use light strands that are UL listed.
• Limit the number of connected strands. Be sure not to attach more than three strings together at one time or the chances of fire will increase.

Christmas Trees

• Pay attention to location. One cause of Christmas tree fires is when a tree is located too close to a heat source such as a heat vent, fireplace, wood stove, furnace or candle(s). Make sure your tree is at least three feet from any heat source. In addition, make sure your tree is not blocking an exit in your home.
  
  
• Water daily. Be sure to water your tree daily, and take it down once it begins to dry out.

Fireplace

• Know your chimney health. If you are not certain of the safety of your chimney, it is better not to burn a fire. A nice alternative is to light candles inside the fireplace or cover logs with a safe strand of lights (see recommendations above) for a festive effect. 

• Open the flue. Before starting a fire, be sure that you have opened the flue to the chimney. 

• Remove potential fire hazards. Also before starting a fire, make sure to remove any greenery from the mantle or from around the fireplace. 

• Use a screen.  A screen will eliminate flying embers which could potentially start a fire or cause injury to a loved one or pet. 

• Throw away wrapping paper.  Reduce the urge to throw wrapping paper into the fire as it can cause an unexpected flash fire. It is better to dispose of the wrapping paper in a proper trash bag or can. 

By paying attention to these few extra details right now, you will ensure nothing steals the magic of the season for you and your loved ones.

All of us at SERVPRO of NW Charlotte wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season. Remember that in the event of an emergency, call us 24/7 at (704) 393-7890.

Get Your Home Winter-Ready

Get Your Charlotte Home Winter-Ready

For those who live in the Charlotte area where weather events are typically mild, winter isn’t a season as much as it is a time for celebration. But friendly forecasts aside, as we move into the coldest months of the year, the city will still get its fair share of precipitation - whether it’s rain, snow, sleet or hail. 

We’ll also experience a fluctuation in temperatures and an increase in days that dip into the low 30s and even below freezing - making it critical to get your home winter-ready. After a snow or ice storm, our restoration specialists see the aftermath firsthand: water damage caused by a burst pipe, gaping roof holes from falling trees, mold infestations in fireplaces, and smoke damage from a Christmas tree that went up in flames. 

With so many North Carolinians spending more time at home than ever, we want to help you and family stay safe and warm, as well as protect your home from damage (both inside and out) all winter long. Just as Santa knows well the value of making a list and checking it twice, so should homeowners. The time to start winterizing is now - before the first storm or harsh weather event hits. Fortunately, you can DIY most of these home protection recommendations.

Indoor winterization tips

• Use pipe foam to insulate your pipes, especially those warm to the touch.
• Check and repair any attic, garage or shed leaks. 
• Seal any water pipe or hose leaks.
• Be sure the temperature hot water tank is set safely, and clean your dryer vents. 
• Seal the top of your fireplace if you don’t plan to use it during the winter. 
• Change the batteries on any smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and make sure the equipment is working correctly. 
• Replace filters throughout your house and open heating system vents. 
• Flush your water heater to let any sediment run out.
• Install window insulation film and weather-stripping tape around doors and windows. For a quick fix, use a rolled-up towel or blanket to keep under door drafts at bay. 

Outdoor winterization tips

• Clean your downspouts and gutters of any debris, twigs, leaves, nuts or rocks so ice can’t build up and clog them.
• Trim tree limbs around your home. When weighed down from wet snow or an ice storm, they can break or fall, causing damage to your roof, home, car or fence.
• Fill any siding and window cracks or gaps with caulk. 
• Take out any window AC units and remove any debris, branches or leaves around your air conditioner condenser.
• Drain and disconnect hoses and turn off your sprinklers. If your pipes aren’t frost-proof, turn off the water valve by the spigot.  
• Move outdoor furniture, grills and propane tanks away from the elements, or wrap them in tarps and bungee cords to keep them secure outside. 
• Remove any moss or vegetation from your roof.

Spring Cleaning Outside

SPRING CLEANING OUTSIDE

When making your spring cleaning list, remember your home's exterior.  A few hours of attention could save you a bundle in unexpected repairs. 

Roof & Chimney
Examine your roof for cracked or missing shingles and damaged flashing around vents and chimneys. Check chimney caps and roof vents for bird nests and debris.

Gutters & Downspouts
Clogged gutters lead to rainwater back up and rot under shingles, waterfalls that cause window leaks and pools that drain into your crawl or basement and soften soil around tree roots causing them to fall.  Consider installing gutter screening and downspout extensions.

Foundation Vents & Drains
Look for missing or damaged screens, debris, signs of insect or rodent infestation, or other issues.  Unclog drainage systems designed to channel water away from the foundation, including city sewer drains.
