SERVPRO of East MIssion & South Edinburg Is The Vendor You Can Count On

8/7/2020 (Permalink)

Insurance adjusters often get a bad rap because they're "slow to handle claims," but the truth is that insurance companies can only move as fast as their vendors—of which there are often many. From the initial emergency response team to the cleanup crew, and from the appraiser to the underwriter, a single claim goes through many professionals before the adjuster can make a final decision. When one vendor experiences a hold up, all vendors experience a hold up, which can delay claim services by days or even weeks. When insurance companies work with SERVPRO, however, the claims process moves exponentially quicker.

Work With The #1 Restoration Franchise in Emergency Situations

In the event of an emergency, even a single day delay can have costly consequences for insureds. Not only does a delay mean that a business has to keep its doors closed for another day longer, but also, a delay can result in more extensive damage. Secondary damage, which occurs after 24 to 48 hours, is costly to fix, as it often involves structural damage. Examples of secondary damage include the following:

• Rotted drywall
• Rotted structural beams
• Buckling hardwood floors
• Mold growth
• Peeling vinyl and other flooring materials

In an emergency situation, the right Mission or Edinburg, TX emergency response team will not only be on site within one to four hours, but also, it can help speed up the claim services process.

How SERVPRO Assists With Claims

The national leader in damage restoration not only responds immediately to emergency situations but also, it performs pretesting and itemized loss inventory. It also provides insurers with the fast, accurate information they need to make sound claims decisions, including a complete electronic file, online access to files and informative reports that can serve to improve results and cut job cost data.

Psychrometrics is the study of the air, and its properties. The properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point are measured to evaluate air conditions in the structure, enabling a SERVPRO franchise professional to create the proper atmosphere for more efficient drying.

Scoping involves locating the areas of the structure into which water has intruded, and defining the extent to which the structure, and contents have absorbed moisture. Moisture detection devices are also used to verify an environment has been dried thoroughly.

• Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets, and carpet padding.
• Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture tester provides accurate moisture readings that enable  SERVPRO of East Mission/ South Edinburg Professionals to monitor the drying process.
• Thermo-Hygrometers measure both temperature, and relative humidity. Capturing these two readings, a SERVPRO franchise professional using a psychrometric chart can calculate specific humidity, dew point, and vapor pressure.
• Infrared Cameras can identify the location, and extent of moisture in walls very effectively.
• Manometers allow SERVPRO of East Mission/ South Edinburg to measure the difference in air pressure when creating a negative air pressure environment.

The fairly typical scenario we’ve probably all had the misfortune to witness: broken/leaky pipe. It’s more of a common occurrence than I first believed. It’s a major pain to deal with. More so out of inconvenience than anything else. It’s not really that large of a situation to call up your insurance company and file a claim.

The last thing you want to have to do is file a claim and mess with your insurance. So, what do you do?? Guess you grab some towels and buckets and cancel your weekend plans, right?

Guess again! Not so fast!

You may ask: “Well what’s the harm in picking up the mess? It has to get done, right?”

The issue is really about all the things that are lying beneath the surface… behind the walls, under the carpet/tile. The things we don’t see.

• Do you have pets? No matter how well you’ve cleaned up after them, they leave behind all kinds of germs and bacteria, and when they come back into contact with water, those harmful toxins are reactivated and can leave foul odors, and stains 

• What year was your home built? This may seem like a pointless question at first, but it really helps us find out what tools we’re gonna need to get the job done the right way. See, in the early 90's, there was a large amount of Chinese Dry Wall being used in home construction. The difference in this type of drywall is that it is a lot more dense, heavier and may even contain metal. This plays a big role in how long we’d need to leave drying equipment set up.

         The type of insulation of your home is another factor to consider. Carpet? Type of carpet pad? Type of tile? Ceramic? Sub floor? Plank wood floor? You get the idea.

• Relative Humidity. Well you can just open a window, right? That’ll dry it out, right? Relative Humidity. That’s the difference between humidity in the home vs. outside the home. And the difference in whether you might get mold or not. Unless you have the equipment to test the moisture levels in the air, then it may not be the best idea.

You may be able to mop up the surface, but that’s as far as most will be able to reach. It’s the water you don’t see that becomes the problem. Can’t exactly mop behind your walls, or under your tile. A few weeks may go by and you’ll notice a funky smell that never really goes away… and that’s when you’ll know: mold.

Although at first thought, it may seem like unnecessary, fancy solutions to a simple problem… it’s honestly way more than that. Getting in front of the problem to prevent secondary damage is what SERVPRO does best.
