As the Gulf Coast heads into late hurricane season, October is a crucial time for storm preparedness in Pensacola.

While hurricane season officially runs from June through November, the unpredictability of weather patterns means that storm activity can spike in October. It’s essential to be prepared. Here are some key steps you can take to protect your property:

  • Inspect Your Roof and Gutters: Ensure there are no loose shingles or debris that could lead to water damage during a storm. Clean gutters and drains to prevent water accumulation.
  • Secure Outdoor Items: Store outdoor furniture, grills, and any loose items that can become projectiles in high winds.
  • Check Doors and Windows: Install storm shutters or plywood over windows to protect glass from shattering. Ensure doors are properly sealed.
  • Create an Emergency Plan: Have an emergency kit ready with water, food, batteries, and first aid supplies. Keep important documents in a safe place.

At SERVPRO of West Pensacola, we specialize in water and storm damage restoration. If you need emergency services after a storm, call us anytime at 850-SERVPRO (737-8776).

Mold Prevention During Humid Fall Months in Pensacola

Even though temperatures cool down in October, humidity levels remain high in Pensacola, creating a breeding ground for mold.

Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, which can be problematic in our area as the Gulf's moisture continues through fall. Here are a few ways to prevent mold growth in your home or business:

  • Use a Dehumidifier: Keep your indoor humidity levels below 60% by using a dehumidifier, especially in areas prone to moisture like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.
  • Fix Leaks Immediately: Water damage, whether from leaks or condensation, can lead to mold growth in as little as 48 hours.
  • Ventilate High-Moisture Areas: Ensure that bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms have adequate ventilation to remove excess moisture.
  • Clean Regularly: Regularly wipe down and clean areas prone to moisture buildup, such as shower tiles, windowsills, and under sinks.

If you suspect mold in your home or business, don’t wait! Contact SERVPRO of West Pensacola for professional mold remediation services. Call us 24/7 at 850-SERVPRO (737-8776).

Fire Safety Tips for Halloween and Fall Festivities

House on fire. House on fire.

As Halloween approaches, it’s important to keep fire safety top of mind to ensure a safe and fun celebration.

Many Halloween decorations, such as candles in pumpkins or outdoor lighting, can pose a fire hazard if not properly managed. Here’s how to stay fire-safe during your Halloween celebrations:

  • Opt for Battery-Operated Candles: Instead of using real candles in jack-o'-lanterns, use LED candles to eliminate the fire risk.
  • Keep Decorations Away from Open Flames: Make sure that decorations, costumes, and anything flammable is kept far away from candles, fireplaces, and other sources of open flame.
  • Check Your Smoke Alarms: Ensure all smoke alarms are working properly before hosting any fall gatherings. Replace batteries if necessary.
  • Be Cautious with Electrical Decorations: Inspect all lights and electrical decorations for frayed wires, and avoid overloading outlets.

If a fire does occur, SERVPRO of West Pensacola is here to help with fire damage restoration and cleanup. Contact us 24/7 at 850-SERVPRO (737-8776) for emergency services.

Water damage can be a nightmare for homeowners in Pensacola, especially with the frequent rainstorms and the risk of hurricanes. At SERVPRO of West Pensacola, we understand the importance of fast water damage restoration to prevent long-term damage. Here are the top five causes of water damage and how to prevent them:

1. Storms and Hurricanes
Living near the Gulf Coast, Pensacola is no stranger to severe storms and hurricanes. Heavy rain and flooding can lead to water damage if homes aren't adequately prepared. Prevention tip: Install storm shutters and ensure proper drainage around your home to protect it from excessive water.

2. Leaking or Burst Pipes
Old or faulty plumbing can lead to hidden leaks or burst pipes, causing significant water damage to walls, floors, and ceilings. Prevention tip: Regularly inspect your plumbing system and call a professional at the first sign of trouble.

3. Faulty Appliances
Dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters can malfunction, leading to leaks and water damage. Prevention tip: Keep an eye on aging appliances and replace them as necessary. Regular maintenance checks can help catch leaks early.

4. Roof Leaks
Roof damage, especially during hurricane season, can cause water to seep into your home. Prevention tip: Inspect your roof annually for damage, especially after storms, and address repairs immediately.

5. Clogged Gutters
Gutters filled with debris can cause water to overflow, leading to water damage around the foundation of your home. Prevention tip: Clean your gutters at least twice a year, or install gutter guards to prevent clogs.
