The Importance of Cleaning Dryer Vents

Lint buildup like this happens slowly, but it's important to take care of it before it's too late.

According to FEMA, failure to clean home dryers causes 34% of home dryer fires. Home dryer fires cause $35 million in property loss and can even cause injury and death.

To reduce the risk of these fires happening in your home or business, have SERVPRO of Alamo Ranch clean your dryer vents and ducts that may have lint buildup.

Other tips for keeping your dryer vents clean from the National Fire Protection Agency include cleaning the lint filter before and after each load and making sure the outdoor vent flap will open and is not restricted by snow, a birds nest or other potential obstacles. The outdoor flap should be checked to make sure that it has an operating flap and is not open so as not to let in birds or vermin.

Call SERVPRO of Alamo Ranch at 210-670-9591 to have your dryer vents inspected and cleaned.

Hoarding

Stack of books in small shop.

At SERVPRO® of Alamo Ranch, we encounter hoarding in several different ways. Often we are called for a fire or water loss and find the hoarding situation when we arrive on site. We will then communicate with the insurance company regarding the clients contents coverage, and after approval, contents can be packed out and possibly cleaned, dried, and stored or relocated to a storage facility so work on the fire or water loss can begin.

Another way we encounter hoarding jobs is through calls from landlords, case workers, real estate agents, or family members, often after the death of a loved one. In these situations, the crew will see if they should look for any items of importance while they clean the job. Sometimes family members will come and try to help the hoarder sort through their contents as well.

Each case is very different, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations. If you have any issues with hoarding, please call SERVPRO® of Alamo Ranch at 210-670-9591. Here to make it "Like it never even happened."

Hoarding: A Serious Situation

Pile of Books

According to the Mayo Clinic "A hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them.A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value occurs." Many people with a hoarding disorder do not find their habits to be a problem.

Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage, such as old newspapers, junk mail, or packaging.

Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats, and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard.

If you or someone that you know has a hoarding situation, please call SERVPRO® of Alamo Ranch at 210-670-9591. We are here to help.
