Is your phone making you sick? How to disinfect your cellphone from germs.
7/1/2021 (Permalink)
Keeping your phone clean is just like cleaning almost any high-touch surface.
For many of us, cell phones are like extensions of our own hands. From texting to talking, and surfing to shopping, our devices allow us to do almost anything from pretty much anywhere. And since that has become the norm, our phones have become really dirty. The good news is that it’s simple to disinfect germs from your device. So, the next time you check your email at the dinner table or pass it to your kids to keep them entertained for a few minutes, think about the last time you cleaned your phone. It could make a big difference.

SERVPRO of South Pasadena is an IICRC firm. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) creates the standards for the restoration industry and provides training and certification to restoration companies.

The IICRC Develops The Standards For The Restoration Industry
The IICRC has been the driving force in establishing the main industry standards and reference guides for professional carpet cleaning, water damage restoration and mold remediation. These IICRC standards take years to develop and require the coordination of experts in the field: manufacturers, industry organizations, insurance professionals, training schools, contractors, and public health professionals.
Every five years, the standards are reviewed and updated. The water damage restoration field changes rapidly with advancements in technology and science, and therefore the standards must evolve to keep pace.

- Clothes- use hand sanitizer
- Walls- use toothpaste or hairspray
- Wood- use rubbing alcohol
- Carpet- use white vinegar
- Furniture- use milk
- White Board- use dry erase marker or pencil rubber eraser
- Ceramic or Glass- use 1 part toothpaste with 1 part baking soda
As always, test a small inconspicuous spot to ensure no staining occurs. We hope these tips help! SERVPRO of South Pasadena is here to help if you have cleaning needs that cannot be accomplished by yourself.

Questions We Ask Water Damage Customers
11/10/2020 (Permalink)
The #1 question we ask our customers.
Question #1 – What was the water source?
If you are not aware of the source we will try to help you pinpoint it and we may have to recommend that you call a plumber or a foundation repair company.
If you do not fix the source first, you risk having to request our services a second time. Knowing the source will also help us indicate if our crew will be dealing with clean or contaminated water. As I am sure you are aware, when dealing with contaminated water, there are extra precautions that must be taken for the safety of you, your family (including pets), as well as the safety of our crew responding to your emergency need.

It is your job to mitigate the damage.
Dealing with insurance companies can be scary. These are people who do nothing but take your money after all. It is okay. During an emergency, this is what they are here for. This is why you have been paying them for years. They are here to help you in your time of need. Calling them after an emergency is a must. Waiting or worse not calling at all is something you can't afford to do. Before an emergency happens, it is a good idea to have all the information in a place that’s readily available.
Things you need to know:
- Who is your Insurance Agent?
- What company do they work for?
- Keep a record of your claim number if you put in a claim
- Know your adjuster; you may even want to keep his phone number
- What is your deductible?
Reminder: It is your job to mitigate the damage. Meaning you must try and prevent further loss. For example, if you have water spraying from a pipe turn off the water and the electricity to affected rooms.
SERVPRO of South Pasadena will come out and inform you if putting in a claim is beneficial to your case. For a free estimate call us at (713) 472-4162.
