Frozen Pipes Cause Water Damage in Beckley Homes?
1/17/2023 (Permalink)
We respond to property damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Raleigh County.
When temperatures drop below freezing, keeping your plumbing pipes in mind is important. Our local team in Beckley offers this helpful information from the Red Cross to prevent frozen pipes:
How to Prevent Frozen Pipes
- Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage
- Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate the plumbing. Be sure to move any harmful cleaners and household chemicals up out of the reach of children.
- When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe - even at a trickle - helps prevent pipes from freezing.
- Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night. By temporarily suspending the use of lower nighttime temperatures, you may incur a higher heating bill, but you can prevent a much more costly repair job if pipes freeze and burst.
- If you will be going away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, and set the temperature no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Raleigh County.
Our local team in Beckley wants everyone to have a safe and fire-damage-free Halloween celebration this year. Here are some Halloween safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
- Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o-lanterns
- Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
- When using electrical lighting to decorate your home, ensure it is used per the manufacturer's instructions. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
- Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged
- Remember to keep exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.
For families still planning to attend Halloween parties or go trick-or-treating:
- When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric that could come in contact with open flames or other heat sources
- Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them
- Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costumes

Our local team in Beckley wants everyone to have a safe and fire-damage-free Fourth of July celebration. Here are some tips from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission for using fireworks safely:
- Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks
- Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees - hot enough to melt some metals.
- Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.
- Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully
- Never point or throw fireworks at another person
- Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or another mishap
- Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly
- Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers
- After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.

Rug and Upholstery Cleaning Services in Beckley?

We keep Raleigh County carpets looking great and smelling fresh!
My house was starting to look and smell like a kennel. Now that my two dogs can spend more time outdoors, I thought it would be a good time to deep clean my rugs, carpets, and upholstered furniture. My neighbor told me to call the local team in Beckley. Their team is trained and certified to perform many deep cleaning and deodorization services, including:
Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
Our carpet and upholstery cleaning service will not only get out the dirt you see but will also remove the unwanted dust you don’t. A professionally cleaned carpet and furniture may make all the difference in brightening up a room and freshening up your home.
Air Duct Cleaning
We all have tasks around the house that don’t make it to the top of our priority list. Properly maintaining your home’s air ducts should not be one of them. Regular duct cleaning can increase your home’s heating and cooling efficiency and improve the quality of the air you and your family breathe.
Odor Removal
Your basic cleaning service will not have the expertise to effectively deodorize your home. Take advantage of our residential cleaning services to remove unwanted odors.

Ductwork Cleaning in Beckley?
1/25/2022 (Permalink)
We inspect and clean ductwork and HVAC units in Raleigh County.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that poor indoor air quality is one of the greatest environmental threats to Americans today. SERVPRO® of Beckley inspects, cleans, and maintains heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the associated ductwork. Your HVAC system is the “lungs” of your home or commercial business. Several factors affect indoor air quality, including the air exchange rate, outdoor climate, weather conditions, and occupant behavior.
Routine maintenance of your HVAC system can save you money and give you cleaner air to breathe. Most pollutants affecting indoor air quality come from sources inside buildings, although some originate outdoors. Here are some of the typical pollutants reported by the EPA that affect indoor air quality:
Typical contaminants of concern include:
- Combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and environmental tobacco smoke
- Substances of natural origin such as radon, pet dander, and mold
- Biological agents such as molds
- Pesticides, lead, and asbestos
- Ozone (from some air cleaners)
- Various volatile organic compounds from a variety of products and materials
Call Us Today!
When your HVAC unit is running properly, and your ductwork is clean, everyone can breathe easier. SERVPRO® of Beckley’s technicians have the training and experience to keep your HVAC system operating at peak performance. Call us today at 304-253-6633.

Before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here. As you plan and prepare for the holidays, SERVPRO® of Beckley can help by deep cleaning your carpets and upholstery.
Our technicians are trained and certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). We offer many cleaning options to extend the life of your carpets and upholstered furniture.

- Deluxe Precondition and Rinse: helps restore deeply soiled areas
- Showcase Premier Cleaning: the most thorough cleaning method in the industry
- Dry Cleaning: when color-fastness is an issue
Preventative Maintenance
Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet.
The IICRC states that 79 percent of the soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is an important component of proper care and maintenance of carpet. Preventative maintenance actions include:
- Regular vacuuming
- Spot removal
- Pilating the carpet to prevent matting
- Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
- Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Together we get it done.
Life is full of mishaps and otherwise unwanted stress creators such as storms. Did you know that wind can reach speeds of up to 60 mph in severe cases? This kind of wind in your Beckley home or business can cause several different kinds of damage, as well as leave areas of the structure vulnerable to rain and other water crisis such as broken pipes. SERVPRO of Beckley can work together with you to lower chances for incurring injury and/or cost due to storm damage.
Your part.
Preparedness is a necessary tool in your efforts to protect your home in Beckley.
It’s your house; so not only do you have a vested interest in lowering risks to your home and family; but that same preparedness creates a more stress-free environment.
Be prepared for the worst when times are the best. Don’t wait until the wind is moving at speeds of forty mph outside before you start making calls and buying batteries. Do these things early on when there are no clouds in the sky.
Our part.
SERVPRO of Beckley promises to answer when you call. We promise that the person fielding your call will understand not only the proper responses to your cleanup and restoration questions but they will understand your vulnerable and stressful position as the owner/insurance adjuster. We will use that understanding to make you as comfortable with what’s happening as possible. We will send the correct people, and the proper equipment to meet whatever needs have been created by the unfortunate event(s).

Mold Removal vs. Mold Remediation in Beckley
1/5/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Beckley shares the differences in mold removal and mold remediation. Understanding that microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere naturally, helps us to know we need to remediate mold instead of removing mold as removing mold is nearly impossible.
Mold, once exposed to moisture, can begin growing into colonies within 48 hours. Moisture sources that help mold grow include windows, air conditioning/heating units, leaks, pets, and even clothing materials. SERVPRO of Beckley has these tips to offer about mold remediation:
- First, protect yourself by ventilating the area where mold is present
- Wear protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and eye protection
- Throw out whatever mold has destroyed, if you can do so safely
- Identify materials that have been exposed to moisture for over 24-48 hours
- Keep humidity at 40% or higher
- Ultimately, let SERVPRO of Beckley in Beckley remediate the mold safely and get your home or business back to normal. While we cannot prevent mold from happening, we can remediate the damage making it “Like it never even happened.”
An Important Note:
By law, only licensed professionals can remediate large areas. A “large area” is 10 square feet or more per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.)

Call SERVPRO when Disaster Strikes in Beckley
1/5/2021 (Permalink)
When you are in the middle of a crisis, it can be difficult to make the right decision. If your Beckley area home is on fire, the first thing you should do is call 911. If a storm has dropped a power line in front of your office, you would call the power company. These choices are rational, normal choices but whom would you call after the fire is out? Who do you call after the storm ends and you notice the damage is worse than you thought? Maybe you notice the power line actually fell because a tree branch took it down and damaged a part of your home.
You call SERVPRO of Beckley. We are centrally located in Beckley and are efficient, experienced, and open 24/7.

Air conditioning unit catches fire at a Hotel in Lewisburg,WV
8/29/2018 (Permalink)
Quick responses by both the Hotel Management and SERVPRO prevented long term loss of revenue.
Because of quick action and having a fire extinguisher readily available, damage was minimal when an air conditioner caught fire in a hotel room. Water did not have to be used to extinguish the flames making the cleanup take less time than if water damage had been involved.
During the summer this hotel is fully booked and the room needed to be ready as soon as possible. The manager needed us there fast! SERVPRO of Beckley arrived in less than 3 hours to begin cleanup.
The exact cause of what caused the malfunction is unknown but it comes down to either a mechanical or electrical failure. These units are maintained by a professional but it was in the heat of summer. The unit worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may have overheated.
Mold can be found in unimaginable places
7/2/2018 (Permalink)
The homeowner looked for days trying to find why her bathroom had a musty smell - We found it !
Do you have an odor in your home and you just can’t determine what or where it is? If you can’t visibly see anything then there is a possibility it could be mold. Mold can smell like a musty odor, but it can also smell like earth, fruit, floral, chocolate, sour, oily or spicy.
Mold can be found in places you wouldn’t imagine. Under your flooring whether it be carpet, vinyl, or linoleum. It can be beneath your floorboards, wallpaper, even in the insulation inside the walls or above in the ceiling. Mold is often found underneath or behind cabinets and appliances. It’s not unusual for us to find it in the attic, crawlspace, and in your HVAC System.
If you have looked and looked and can’t find what’s causing that smell, contact SERVPRO of Beckley today. We have trained professionals and the right equipment to figure out where your odor is coming from.
