SERVPRO of Quincy and Hannibal has partnered with local First Responders to host a ‘First Responders Charity Flag Football’ event to be held on September 21, 2024. This all day event will be held at the Paul Dennis Soccer Complex in Quincy and will be open to the public for a $5 donation to the winning charity.

Special Olympics of IL, Region H will kick-off our day with the first game. A full schedule of events to be published soon!

“We are huge supporters of our First Responders. We wanted to create an event where we could bring them and their families together, as well as the community. We couldn’t make this event happen without the help of our local First Responders. We hope this will bring light to the SERVPRO First Responders Bowl,” said Tim Maguire, SERVPRO of Quincy & Hannibal Franchise Owner.

SERVPRO has a longstanding history of support for our First Responders. Each year, SERVPRO hosts the SERVPRO First Responders Bowl to recognize the bravery and courage of those who arrive first at the scene of the emergency. Our bowl game celebrates our neighbors, family and fellow citizens who serve as first responders protecting and preserving peace in our communities. This year’s SERVPRO First Responder Bowl will be played on January 3, 2025 at the Gerald Ford Stadium in Dallas, TX. Local nominations will be collected on September 21st to be submitted for consideration for presentation at the Bowl Game.

What is Esporta?

10/23/2023 (Permalink)

Esporta Washing Machine This is the first step to all cloths and content received in. Washing and solutions.

The Esporta is an industrial-sized washing system that can restore the following types of damage and contamination: Category 1,2,3 Water Damage; Mold; Heavy Smoke and Soot; Bio Waste Contamination. 

There are 6 different solutions attached to the Esporta. Each type of damage of contamination requires different solutions. The Esporta is aware of which to use once we give the machine the type off damage, using the digital pad on the front panel. 

Once the content is washed with the solutions, we do custom drying techniques for the materials that cannot be ran through the normal dryer. 

After they are dried, we fold, sort, and organize all content. Just like our drying techniques, the material will be assessed to determine if it needs boxed or bagged, all with labels. 

After completion, a customer can come pick up their content or we can schedule a delivery to them.

Clean Water vs Contaminated Water

6/28/2023 (Permalink)

Please be aware of the differences between clean water and contaminated water.

Damage from Clean Water:

  • If necessary, turn off the water supply or contact a trained professional to do so.
  • If access to the power distribution panel is protected from possible electrical shock, turn off circuit breakers for wet areas of the house.
  • Using a mop and a blotting motion, remove as much excess water as possible.
  • After removing lamps and tabletop pieces, wipe excess water from wood furniture. Remove and prop up wet upholstery cushions for even drying. Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.

Damage from Contaminated Water:

  • Avoid any interaction with sewage and sewage-contaminated products and do not walk through contaminated areas because you can spread damage to unaffected areas.
  • If there is a risk of spreading dirty air, do not turn on the HVAC system.
  • Do not use household fans to dry the structure; air flow may disperse pollutants. If exposed to polluted areas, discard any food and/or items for personal hygiene and cleanliness.

Tornado!

6/28/2023 (Permalink)

Tornadoes are arguably nature’s most violent storms. Generated from powerful thunderstorms, tornadoes generally appear as rotating, funnel-shaped clouds extending from the cloud base to the ground. With winds that can reach up to 300 miles per hour, tornadoes can cause massive destruction within seconds. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and fifty miles long.

  • The average tornado moves southwest to northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction.
  • The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 miles per hour but may vary from stationary to 70 miles per hour.
  • Tornadoes can accompany tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land.
  • They are most frequently reported during the spring and summer months.
  • Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3pm and 9pm.

Unexpected emergencies like tornadoes call for immediate action. SERVPRO of Quincy knows immediate reaction to the disaster is important to helping you get your life back to normal. We are here to make it “Like it never even happened.” Call us at 217-223-2993.
