Safety for the holidays.

Do not decorate trees with candles.

During the holidays you spend time making memories with your friends and family. Decorating trees, and homes, cooking large feast and baked goods, and sitting by the fireplace on a cold night. Making memories that will last a last time.

Safety tips:

• Keep your Christmas tree 3 to 10 feet away from a fireplace.
• Don't throw trash, cards or box in the fireplace.
• Don't hang garland, stocking or cards too close to the fireplace.
• Check lights for damaged, or frayed cords and missing bulbs.
• Don't decorate tree with candles.
• Make sure candles are on a flat surface.
• Watering your Christmas tree daily. A dry tree burns faster than one that is water daily.
• Install, test, change batteries to your fire alarms to make sure they are working.
• When cooking don't leave area where your cooking unattended. Set timers if you need to check on food.

Maintaining the outside of your home can maintain the value and the beauty of your home. Some measures you take on the outside of your home will protect the inside of your home.

Roof - Use a leaf blower and broom to remove leaves and other debris from valleys and behind chimneys.  Start at the top and blow and sweep downward.  Be sure to wear rubber soled shoes and stay off steep roofs. 

Gutter and Downspout Repair -Clean and  repair any leaks in gutters and downspouts.  make sure gutters are securely attached, and replace any loose spikes with gutter screws. 

Craw space- Check for standing water if this is an issue installing a sump pump will help. Check vapor barrier for condensation and damage. Opening the craw space vents during warmer weather may help prevent moisture. Replace any old insulation.

In any water damage event, the goal is to dry out the wet materials as soon as possible in order to prevent them from having to be replaced. When water is left to sit for an extended period of time, it makes the floor and other affected materials unable to be dried completely. This can lead to floor covering, sub floor, cabinets, and other wet materials needing to be replaced. It is more expensive and more time consuming to replace these items than it is to restore them. In addition to that, mold begins to grow just 48 hours after wet materials are left to sit untreated. The effects from water damage happen quickly and need immediate action to avoid damage and costly repairs. SERVPRO of Wilson/Nashville arrives at your home quickly and ready to return your home back to preloss condition.

• Determine your risk- Get familiar with your area by determining the risk or treat from a hurricane. Winds, storm surges, and tornadoes.
• Develop an evacuation plan-Get familiar with your evacuation zones and alternate routes in case flooded areas and falling trees obstruct the road.
• Make an emergency disaster kit-Be prepared with a kit that has flashlight and batteries, radio, and enough non-perishable food and water to last a couple of days for each person. 
• Strengthen your home- Cover windows, trim trees, secure loose outdoor items, secure all doors, and move your car to a safe location 
• Check on neighbor-Offering a helping hand with one or more of the above and also checking on them after the storm.

During a storm even now where to go in the structure you are in for safety. Wither  it a school, manufactured home, commercial building or vehicle. After the storm, be careful when you are checking for damage, sharp objects and debris. If you are unsure of your safety in a structure because of the damage, seek a safe shelter.
