July 31st, 2017 · Comments Off on Preventing Fire Damage in McKeesport, PA
The possibilities for fire damage in the average American home is higher than most people realize. Each home has electricity flowing through the wires in the walls, in the appliances, and the furnace system. Most homes have a stove for cooking. If it’s a gas stove there’s an open flame, and if it’s an electric stove, you have heating elements as well as wiring. Many people use candles and other devices to scent the home to keep it smelling fresh and nice. These elements could potentially cause a fire and, consequently, fire damage.
Many house fires are the result of inattention. There are a number of things each person can do to reduce the chances of a fire, and many times a little bit of foresight and preparation can eliminate the need for fire damage repair. The following tips can help you and your family reduce the possibility of fire damage:
- When using appliances, give the appliance a quick once-over to ensure there isn’t any noticeable faulty wiring or damage
- When using the stove, make certain the area surrounding the stove is clear, and once you’re done, ensure it’s completely cooled prior to putting anything on top
- Watch young children and animals to ensure they can’t knock anything flammable onto the stove while it’s being used
- Candles and space heaters should only be used under the supervision of an adult, and make sure the area around them is clear of anything flammable

July 25th, 2017 · Comments Off on What to Do After Water Damage in Uniontown, PA
You just came home to find water pouring into your Uniontown, PA basement. You found the source of the leak and were able to get the water to stop flowing, but now, you’re faced with a basement full of water and no idea where to start.
Being faced with water damage in your home can be distressing, and often, you forget how to move on. The very first thing you want to do is call us at ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey for help in the Uniontown, PA area. The longer the water sits, the greater the possibility of mold growth and the less chance there is to salvage your belongings.
One of the first things you should do is to try to remove as many objects from the affected area as possible. If you can get the furniture out to a dry location it’ll keep the pieces from soaking up more water, which slows the damage being done.
Water damage cleanup can be a long messy process and takes time and patience.
If possible, it’s best to find a way to allow the water to recede if there is standing water. Our technicians have the tools and knowledge to perform water extraction but the more water there is the longer the process will take. However, our goal is to get your home and belongings back to normal as quickly as possible. Once the water has been removed and the water extraction process is completed, we have tools that’ll aid us in moisture detection allowing us to ensure that all the moisture has been removed. We’ll also dry the carpets using techniques that’ll ensure that the carpet doesn’t look like it was ever under water.

You haven’t been to your aunt’s North Huntington, PA home in years. A few days ago your cousin called and asked you to come over and help her.

The house has an odor that you can’t identify, but honestly, you’re not sure you want to identify it.
You look at your cousin with the question in your eyes of “How did this happen?” Apparently, after your uncle passed, your aunt began “collecting” items, and it has slowly gotten out of hand. You cousin explains that out of the three bathrooms in the house only one is working, and that your aunt can no longer cook as every surface in the kitchen is covered. She’s hoping that you can both convince your aunt she deserves better and things need to be cleaned up. After many tears and lots of hugs, you manage to help convince your aunt it’s time for a change. Is there some place in the North Huntington, PA area that can help with this type of disaster cleanup?

May 24th, 2017 · Comments Off on Your Business Needs Cleaning, Janitorial Cleaning in Greensburg, PA
The school year is finally coming to an end in the Greensburg, PA area. Your daycare has been on the slow side with school in session but you’re expecting attendance to increase soon. You begin to work on your to-do list of things that need to be in place before the increase of kids becomes a reality. You start your day by touring the building to see if there’s anything that stands out that needs to be changed or fixed.
You’ve noticed as of late that the building is in need of a deep cleaning. When attendance started to drop, you had to drop your janitorial cleaning service. Dropping your janitorial cleaners wasn’t too bad since the number of kids was small enough that you could close off one side of the building. By doing that, you could do most of the day-to-day cleaning yourself with little effort.
But, as a result of dropping the janitorial services, the deep cleaning hasn’t been done and you’ve notice that even the day-to-day cleaning wasn’t being done the way it should have. You know you didn’t have much of a choice but you’re still frustrated at the situation you’re currently finding yourself in. The place looks clean enough but with more kids and more parents going in and out you need to make sure the place is in tip-top shape. You’re going to be much busier with all the added people and will have no time to do it yourself or remedy the lack of cleaning you’ve done in the last few months.
