The following are some reviews from customers that have used SERVPRO of Woodland Hills in the past month.

Wonderful, Amazing, and Professional , are the three words that describe Nima A. and his crew!! They made this whole process so much easier for us. Nima even made sure our pets were safe, and happy while all the work was happening! Thank you, Nima! You are the real MVP!!

  • Elizabeth Marie

The crew for SERVPRO Woodland Hills was amazing. Under the best of circumstances, it is difficult to have people working in your house while you too have to work, but SERVPRO was as unobtrusive as could be while mitigating major water damage in our kitchen. Matt, Nima and Orlando were courteous, knowledgeable, and very flexible. They even gave us a call-back late on a Sunday night, after we decided to change our schedule for the following morning. We highly recommend their services.

  • Chiara Mott

Matt and Nima were amazing in handling our flood situation. I was at work for a couple days and I trusted them to take care of my backyard flood issue. When I came back from work the entire backyard was professionally cleaned up and looking good as new. Matt and Nima worked tirelessly throughout the night to get things right again in my backyard. Thank you guys, and thank you SERVPRO.

Water Mitigation And What To Expect

8/4/2022 (Permalink)

Water Damage To Property SERVPRO has trained technicians that help make it “Like it never even happened” Call SERVPRO of Woodland Hills at 818-882-4556

In the case of having water damage on your property. There are a few things to know to help cause less damage and move forward with the mitigation process. 

The first step is to turn off the water source. Call a plumber out for repairs. All leaks need to be fixed before any dry down or demolition can be completed. If possible place buckets or towels to help stop the water from spreading. 

Once the water source has stopped leaking SERVPRO of Woodland Hills can come in and assess the damage. We have trained technicians that use moisture meters to track how far the water has traveled. Our technicians mark the affected areas with blue tape for a visual representation of where the moisture is. 

The next step is to set drying equipment. We place dehumidifiers and air movers to help move forward with the dry down process. Without air flow mold can develop in as little as 24 hours. If the structure seems to not be drying out efficiently we recommend demolition. Or any materials that are damaged beyond repair. By day 3 of drying our technicians have an idea of what is going to dry in place or not. 

This process takes a short amount of time to help you get your property back to normal.

How Containment Is Beneficial

Technician Setting Up Containment Contact SERVPRO of Woodland Hills at 818-882-4556 today if you’re in need remediation on your property.

When thinking about the work that is done on your property after having water, fire or mold damage, many do not think about containment. SERVPRO of Woodland Hills takes great care in making sure we keep your home clean even during the demolition process. Containment is used for many things like to prevent dust and dirt from traveling throughout the home or to create a drying chamber, so that all drying is directed to the affected areas. When performing work we cover contents to ensure that no additional damage happens.

SERVPRO technicians have put up many containment sheets on all kinds of jobs. From cleaning jobs to biohazard jobs. Our team of technicians evaluate the area and are able to create the right containment for the damaged area.

Why You Should Unplug Your Electric Plugs

4/1/2022 (Permalink)

Electrical Outlet Fire If you have fire damage to your property, contact SERVPRO of Woodland Hills for help. Call us at 818-882-4556

Leaving your electric plugs plugged in when you are gone is a waste of electricity, but not only that it is also a high fire risk if left plugged in.  Overloading a single circuit with too many plugs is how fires often start. The following are some electronica and household appliances you should unplug before leaving your home.

  1. Hair straighteners/Curlers

Hair straighteners and curlers can reach up to 350 degrees and when abandoned on the floor or a bed it can cause major fire damage.

  1. Phone and Laptop Chargers

To avoid fire damage to home from phone and laptop charges make sure that you find a brand that you know well to ensure that they are safe. These types of devices are not designed to be plugged in all of the time. Keeping these devices plugged in constantly can weaken the cells in the battery and limit their life.

  1. Gaming Consoles

Gaming consoles can get very hot due to them not having much ventilation. Leaving your console on for a long period of time could cause the console to overheat, smoke or even cause a fire.

When any device has electrical wiring always keep an eye on the condition and way it is running.

How SERVPRO of Woodland Hills Uses Moisture Meters

3/2/2022 (Permalink)

Moisture Meters If you have water damage to your property, contact SERVPRO of Woodland Hills for help. Call us at 818-882-4556

When having a restoration company at your home or property to repair water damage you may have noticed they pull out a colored device. It is normal that you possibly wondered whether these devices are actually doing something or there for show. This tool is called a “moisture meter”.

Moisture meters are a piece of technology that you will see throughout all SERVPRO franchises. You may have even seen these online or your local hardware store.

There are two standard moisture meters. One is a resistance meter, these ones have pins. The other kind are capacitance meters, these are pin less.

SERVPRO of Woodland Hills technicians use both types of meters. Capacitance meters are best used on materials that can’t be penetrated with pins. These moisture meters are nice because they won’t leave any damage to the affected material. Although pin meters may leave slight physical damage they are great at measuring moisture in wood. Pin meters have peaked metal detectors that are inserted into the material. They measure moisture by measuring electrical currents between the pins.  

SERVPRO Air Movers

12/7/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Air Movers SERVPRO has trained technicians that follow protocol to help make it “Like it never even happened” Call SERVPRO of Woodland Hills at 818-882-4556

“Floor drying fans”, “Industrial air blower” and “Commercial blower fans” are all other names for Air Movers. We use air movers in water restoration to enhance the evaporation at the surface level and help lower drying time. Air movers introduce air flow at the surface level and helps enhance evaporation. SERVPRO of Woodland Hills have technicians that are trained to know how many air movers they will need to place to help dry out the affected materials. Out technicians can position the air movers to create a vortex of circular airflow around the walls to help dry out multiple wet walls or even wet drywall behind baseboards.  Our technicians can position air movers for the best possible outcome. SERVPRO air movers are an essential mitigation tool to help restore flood and water damage.

Here’s what SERVPRO of Woodland Hills recommends in a water damage situation:

  •  Stop the water source! Main water shut off valves need to be turned off.
  • Place buckets or pans if need be to capture as much water as possible before it has time to spread.
  • Notify your insurance company, owner, Property Management etc. of the situation so they can make their own assessment.
  • Call a plumber out for repairs.
  • Once the water stops dripping it is SERVPRO assessment time. Our technicians using their moisture meters and infrared cameras mark the path of the water with blue tape. (This gives us a visual on the extent of damage)
  • Demo: All that is physically damaged beyond repair is removed along with wet insulation.  Flooring such as carpet lifted and carpet padding removed to allow carpet to reach drying standards. Carpet padding can retain moisture and typically doesn’t dry. Wood flooring may require a floor drying system or removal.
  • Set drying EQ: Air Movers and dehumidifiers are placed to start the drying process. As we know too well in this industry, sitting water turns to mold within 24-72 hours without air flow.
  • Day 3 Re-Assessment: By day 3-5 we have a good idea if materials are going to dry in place or not. This is our drying goal.
  • Drying complete. Now that everything is dry we are ready to repair the loss to its original condition.

Water Mitigation usually 3 days because we act quickly. That is why you shouldn’t wait to call us. Don’t ever assume an area is dry by look or touch. When you assume, water will spread and your initial loss area, can double in size. This will elongate your drying time frame and make it more likely you’ll need costly demo and repairs.

So the next time you find yourself in a Water DISASTER, CALL SERVPRO of Woodland Hills 818-882-4556

 Are You Ready?

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size disaster, whether it’s a small water leak, a large fire or an area flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Now is the time to ask yourself, “Are you ready for whatever could happen?” The SERVPRO® Emergency READY Profile is a start up approach that provides the critical information needed to begin mitigation and recovery services. It is designed to serve as a quick reference of important building and contact information.

– It will only take a little time to complete and will not take you away from current projects.

But it will save a lot of time if ever needed.

A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster.

– This can help minimize the amount of time your business is inactive by having an immediate plan of action.

Establishes your local SERVPRO® Franchise Professional as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider.

– You have a provider that is recognized as an industry leader and close by.

Identification of the line of command for authorizing work to begin.

– This saves time so we can begin the work of mitigating the damage which can save you time and money.

Provides facility details such as shut-off valve locations, priority areas and priority contact information.

– Having a quick reference of what to do, how to do it and who to call provides solutions in advance

of an emergency so that during the emergency you are “Ready for whatever happens.”

When fire and water cleanup is needed, getting help is now quicker and easier using the SERVPRO® Ready Plan App. The Ready Plan is an emergency preparedness tool for home and business owners, property managers, risk managers and facility management.

walls and ceiling removed after water damage incident You can't afford to wait when it comes to water damage. Call 818-882-4556 now

Water Damage Quickly Turns to Mold

Stagnant and standing water is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold spores. The longer it stands, the more potential for risk. After sitting 48 to 72 hours, fresh or potable water becomes a category 2, which means it is contaminated. After 7 days it becomes classified as a category 3, which is highly contaminated and considered black water.  In many cases, the source of water damage can be from a sewage pipe, which would increase the risks and danger.

Mold caused by moisture

Mold growth is encouraged by warmth and humid conditions. Where there is mold, there has been water damage. Once mold sets in, it spreads quickly and makes for an unhealthy environment for humans and pets everywhere it is present.

Secondary moisture/humidity

Often people do not realize how much moisture from water damage can affect their belongings. Warm and closed environments release moisture into the air. Built-up moisture causes damage to furniture, electronics, pictures, wallpaper, and many other household items.
