Preparing for Floods, Denver CO

Winter weather can bring extreme snowstorms and weather. Denver, CO has large amounts of snow each year, once this now melts, it can cause flooding to many properties.  Knowing how to prevent flooding in your home can save you thousands in damages.

The first thing to remember is to check a flood map.  FEMA provides flood maps that are affected the most.  This allows you to check your neighborhood and city around you.  These maps also come in handy when purchasing home insurance packages.  Almost all insurance companies offer flood insurance, yet they could be limited.  Some do not cover all property damage such as basements.  If you live in an area that has high flood probability, you will need to make sure your policy covers all types of damages and emergencies. 

Once you find a policy that works with your home and demographic, it is always important to make an emergency plan with the family.  Flood emergency plans can include evacuation plans, emergency kits and tools.  Ensure your family and children know what to do in times of flood as well as prepare yourself with insurance plans and policies. 

If you ever experience flooding in your home or property, do not hesitate to call ServiceMaster of Denver, CO to help clean and restore any water damage.

Start 2013 with Great Looking Carpets and Flooring

Holiday season is over and holiday cookies and cake, high heels and occasionally a splash of wine can wreck havoc on your carpets and hardwood floors.  With this extensive foot traffic, you need to make sure you are taking extra care of your floors.  Vacuuming and mopping can remove surface dirt for the day, yet deep cleaning is needed to extend the life of your floors.  Carpet fibers will wear down if dirt and dust are ground into the carpet and rugs.  Deep-water extraction is the only way to remove this deep down dust.  Tile and grout can be problematic as well.  Dirt rests in grout and wood and tile grooves.  Once this dirt settles, it can wear down wood floor finishes as well as turn grout colors.  Mopping won’t clean deep enough and will often times scratch your floors.
