Toys For Tots!
11/22/2021 (Permalink)
Won't you help us make the children smile on Christmas Day?
It's that time of year again! SERVPRO Statesboro asks for your offices to help support our local children in need through the Toys for Tots program. We have two boxes at our Joe Kennedy Boulevard office in Statesboro to fill up.
In 1947, Diane Hendricks, the wife of Marine Corps Reserve Major Major Bill Hendricks, had several hand-crafted dolls and asked her husband to deliver them to an organization that supports needy children. Major Hendricks had no luck finding any such agency, and when he returned home and shared that information with Diane, her response was simple. She told him to start one! That year, Major Hendricks and his Reserve unit in L.A. distributed 5000 toys!
Seeing how successful that year was, the following year Major Hendricks directed all Marine sites to implement the Toys for Tots campaign transitioning it to a National Community Action program in 1948.
Walt Disney was a personal friend of Major Hendricks and he designed the original Toys for Tots poster with a miniature 3 car train that we are all familiar with today.
96.7% of all donations are given directly to children in need with the remaining 3% being used to partially cover fundraising expenses. No donations are used to cover any salaries.
With our help, The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation donates 18 million toys to 7 million needy children each year.
Please call our office if you have any donations. We will be glad to pick them up and bring them back to our office. Can you or your company help us make some children smile on Christmas day?

Avoiding Toilet Overflow at the Office
8/20/2021 (Permalink)
If you experience a disastrous toilet overflow, we can help you with the clean up!
While many people will take care not to clog their own toilets at home and to never flush down harmful objects, not everyone is so cautious when using a public restroom. This can become very stressful for business owners who must constantly address a clogged toilet and call for sewage cleanup and restoration services. Here are some tips for encouraging customers and employees using your bathrooms to avoid a toilet overflow.
Place Trash Cans Near Every Toilet
Baby wipes and feminine hygiene products are common culprits of toilet clogs. While you can’t force customers to properly dispose of these items, you can make it as easy as possible for them to rid of them by making sure there are trash cans in every stall. It is also a good idea to place a trash can near every baby changing station as well.
Signage on the Walls
Post friendly reminders letting people know what should be disposed of in a trash bin rather than down the toilet.
Address Plumbing Issues Immediately
Common plumbing issues, such as a slow drain, can lead to a clogged toilet if not addressed. Perform regular maintenance on your toilets and repair plumbing problems immediately.
Replace Paper Towel Dispensers
Paper towels can back up a toilet if flushed. Consider replacing all paper towel dispensers with air blowers to avoid this problem.
Regularly Check Bathrooms
To avoid sewage overflow, regularly have employees check bathrooms to check for any clogs. This is also a good time to empty out trash cans and replace toilet paper as well.
While every business owner will need to deal with a clogged toilet at least once in their career, these tips can help make this unsanitary situation happen less frequently. If a clog does occur, make sure to get professional help to properly sanitize the area.
What to do if there is a Sewage Spill in the Office
Call SERVPRO of Statesboro! We are ready to help you 24 hours a day in these types of emergency situations. It is important to clean properly to avoid secondary issues.
What Should I Do Immediately after A Water Loss at My Business?
8/20/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO is always on call for you!
A broken pipe can transport water, bacteria, mold and debris into your property. Apart from the bad smell, the damage can be serious enough for you to throw away important documents or equipment.
While a pipe burst cleanup should always be completed by a company (such as SERVPRO of Statesboro) who is specially trained to deal with grossly contaminated category 3 losses; this would include but not limited to sewage, flood, water and etc.
There are immediate steps you can take to save your items and keep your environment safe.
1. Unplug Electronic Appliances
Entering a wet room that has appliances plugged into outlets can be dangerous. Getting your electronic devices out of a water damaged room as soon as possible can prevent them from short circuiting and keep the cleaning crew safe. Take care while transporting your items; don't yank the cord out of the outlet too fast, or it might spark.
2. Use Disinfectant
A pipe burst can cause bacteria to build-up. To thoroughly disinfect your items, avoid simply drying them with a rag or towel. Instead, use a quality disinfectant cleaner on any hard surfaces such as furniture. You don't need to search far and wide for a good cleaning product; local grocery stores typically carry several reputable brands.
3. Consult with the Professionals
If the situation is unfortunate enough so that important items like paintings, books or photographs are damaged, you shouldn't immediately throw them away. There are professional cleaners in our area that specialize in restoring such items. Call them right away to see if you can do anything to salvage your items. Sometimes, they might recommend rinsing them with water to prevent stains from setting.
A company who is specially trained to deal with grossly contaminated category 3 losses; this would include but is not limited to sewage, flood, water and etc can usually send professionals to your home or business promptly for an emergency pipe burst cleanup. However, if you have to wait, taking these steps on your own can help minimize some of the damage. You don't have to spend a lot of money replacing your items if you get them away from a broken pipe and leaking water as soon as possible.

Fire Prevention & Protection For Your Business
8/20/2021 (Permalink)
Follow our tips to help protect your business from fires.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) offers simple steps you can follow to protect your employees and your business.
To help your small business stay fire-free, here are 14 considerations to promote fire protection and prevention. The fire safety checklist in Osha's Small Business handbook recommends you ask yourself:
- Is your local fire department familiar with your facility, its location and specific hazards?
- If you have a fire alarm system, is it certified as required and tested annually?
- If you have interior standpipes and valves, are they inspected regularly?
- If you have outside private fire hydrants, are they flushed at least once a year and on a routine preventive maintenance schedule?
- Are fire doors and shutters in good operating condition?
- Are fire doors and shutters unobstructed and protected against obstructions, including their counterweights?
- Are fire door and shutter fusible links in place?
- Are automatic sprinkler system water control valves, air and water pressure checked periodically as required?
- Is the maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems assigned to responsible persons or to a sprinkler contractor?
- Are sprinkler heads protected by metal guards if exposed to potential physical damage?
- Is proper clearance maintained below sprinkler heads?
- Are portable fire extinguishers provided in adequate number and type and mounted in readily accessible locations?
- Are fire extinguishers recharged regularly with this noted on the inspection tag?
- Are employees periodically instructed in the use of fire extinguishers and fire protection procedures?
If you answered “no” to any of the questions, your small business could be at risk. To cultivate a safer workspace, we recommend you:
- Have working fire extinguishers. And, make sure employees know how to work them. Portable fire extinguishers should be kept on every floor in easily accessible locations.
- Have a functioning sprinkler system. Once it’s in place, follow the recommended maintenance schedule to ensure your sprinklers will work properly. Just determine who’s responsible (whether it’s an employee or contractor) and ensure they’re checking it on a regular basis. You’ll also want to protect all sprinkler heads with metal guards and give them plenty of clearance. After all, if they are obscured, they might not make a difference.
- Train your employees. Does your team know what to do in the event of a fire? If you have an evacuation plan and/or emergency protocol, be sure to educate them about it.

Fire in your office? Are you ready?
3/5/2019 (Permalink)
We all tend to focus on the safety of our families. Typically, we begin to talk to our children about fire safety when they are very young. What do they need to do if a fire happens? How do they escape if a parent cannot get to them? Where do they wait outside for an adult or firefighter? These are some of the questions we tend to always know the answer too. But what about at work? Here are a few tips about ensuring your employees are always safe!
Emergency Ready Plan. During your Monday morning meeting go through the company's emergency plan and procedures. Ensure each team member knows the best exit from each part of the building. Don't forget to do this walking a New Hire through the building. Show each team member where every fire alarm is, and how each work to notify the whole building of a fire. The team should also know where each and every fire extinguisher is in the building.
Fire Drills are not only for school systems but also work environments! Set aside time to have a fire drill. This will ensure that each team members knows how to escape and where to meet outside in case of a fire.
These are just small things to do in your place of business to keep your employees safe! If you have a fire break out in your office, do you have your own Emergency Ready Plan for your building? Call SERVPRO of Statesboro at (912) 764-9542 so we can get you started with our free ERP!

SERVPRO of Statesboro is excited to announce that we have new owners, Frank Harris and Carl Perazzola. Frank and Carl became a part of the SERVPRO franchise 5 years ago when they decided to purchase SERVPRO of Bryan, Effingham, McIntosh & East Liberty Counties. Since then they have grown that territory tremendously.
About a year ago, they wanted to continue to grow the company so they began to look at the possibilities. They landed on purchasing SERVPRO of Statesboro.
Frank and Carl feel very fortunate to grow into the surrounding territory. SERVPRO of Statesboro and SERVPRO of Bryan, Effingham, McIntosh & East Liberty Counties are looking forward to working together to tackle both territories. So if you see some more green vehicles in the area, you know why! We have doubled our team in both areas to tackle on the work load. We are very excited to start 2019 as a joint team.
Spring is in the air.. Spring cleaning is upon us
2/6/2019 (Permalink)
It is starting to feel like spring. Coincidence that Phil the Groundhog said this past weekend it would be an early spring? Let's talk that dreaded Spring Cleaning!
On the first warm, dry day of the season, everybody in the family—that is, everyone in the family who had survived the ravages of the cold season—would pitch in to pull every stick of furniture and scrap of cloth outside. Then, armed with brooms and washrags, one squad of housecleaners would return to the house, sweeping and scrubbing every corner and washing down the walls, while another would air out linens, remove soot and ash from couches and chairs, dust books and paintings, and mend a few items on the run.
Today, the thought of taking a day or weekend to turn our houses upside down seems a near impossibility. Who has the time? Besides, our modern centrally heated and cooled, climate-controlled homes don’t get oily, sooty, or smoky, and our washing machines and vacuum cleaners help keep the dirt from sneaking in.
True enough. Still, there are trade-offs: our houses are airtight, comparatively speaking, but they also can’t breathe. They’re full of chemicals and gases, from the components of floor wax to the microfibers of carpets, that our ancestors never knew.
When a warm, dry day does come, the first order of business is to head to each bedroom, strip down the beds, and take everything that isn’t nailed down outdoors. Hang quilts, blankets, comforters, and mattress covers out on the line (or, if the neighbors are forgiving, spread them out on hedges or on the lawn) and let them bask in the sun for the day. Set up a couple of sawhorses and drag the mattress out for a good airing, too. You will be slaughtering dust mites by the millions, and a jolly massacre it will be.
The next step is work your way from the top of the house to the bottom, dusting and then sweeping or vacuuming every corner of the room. Fling open the windows wide, and let fresh air circulate; it’s amazing the difference a day’s airing can make for a house that’s been shut up all winter. If, that is, your house will allow you to open windows at all, as no hotel built within the last ten years seems to permit.
It’s time now to do some heavy lifting, literally: move the stove and refrigerator and give the floor underneath a good scrub. Self-cleaning ovens don’t need much maintenance these days, but microwaves do; if you’re not in the habit of giving yours a weekly sponging down, then put two cups of water into a Pyrex bowl, throw in two lemon halves, and turn the oven on high setting for ten minutes. Then take a fresh washcloth (always preferable to a sponge) and scrub the oven rack and walls, taking care not to skip the ceiling. Give it a second scrubbing with half a cup of plain white vinegar diluted in half a cup of warm water, then add another cup of water to the bowl and turn the oven on for another ten minutes. The lemon will remove the smell of the vinegar, and your oven will be like new.
Now for the windows. Dust and vacuum the drapes, blinds, and shades. Wash the windows inside and out. Again, a mixture of white vinegar and warm water is as good as any commercial cleaner; I will refuse to feel guilty if this advice brings the window-spray conglomerates to financial ruin.
You’re probably ready for lunch now. Take a break. Then give the house a quick once-over. Do you have smoke detectors? Now’s the time to change the batteries, which will usually last a year. Do you have a ceiling fan or a chandelier? Now’s the time to climb up on a stepladder and remove dust from the top of the fan blades and crystals.
Ready for a cup of coffee? It’s probably time for one. You already know that spring cleaning is made all the easier by keeping up with the cleaning chores daily, weekly, and monthly throughout the year. A legion of self-improvement, time-management, and uncluttering consultants and web sites stands ready to dispense advice on just how to do that, one of the ironies of this age of consumption and of the constant hurry to acquire the money to acquire more stuff.
Now it’s time to head to the bedroom closets, the garage, the basement—or maybe it’s time to send your loved ones in to do that terrible work, or even to hire someone for the job. Call SERVPRO of Statesboro at 912-764-9542 to set up a Spring Clean Deep Clean. Then, sit back and enjoy the nice Spring weather and your sparkling clean home.
