We’re Here for Reno Residents When Minutes Matter Most | SERVPRO® of Reno Southwest

2/5/2021 (Permalink)

The reasons people in our community will seek help with restoration services are as different as the homeowners themselves. But there are a few common reasons that homeowners often cite for their water and fire damage woes.

People reach out to us for help for reasons that include severe weather issues, such as wind, hail and rain. Accidents and appliance malfunctions are also common reasons people need help from home restoration professionals.

If you need restoration services this year, it’s vital to choose a team to work with ready to start the process quickly. Why does that matter? Because when it comes to restoration work, all projects have one thing in common—timing is everything.

Damage only gets worse if left unattended. The longer it’s left to continue its process, the worse the damage will grow.

How SERVPRO Will Assist You

We know that water damage can creep into the wood within hours or days, so we’re here to help you stop the process in its tracks. That means you can call on our team ²⁴⁄₇, and we’ll be here to answer you. We are always prepared for emergencies.

There are other good reasons to choose SERVPRO, too. Here’s what makes us different:

Our highly skilled technicians are using the best available technology. Our team members have high-level training and advanced certifications, as well as the market’s leading restoration technology. They use it to give homeowners like you powerful results and restore your home to its original state.

Our business is local. All SERVPRO locations are locally owned and operated by people in your community. That means when you call us, you’re connecting with friends and neighbors.

If your home is damaged due to fire, water or any other cause, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have teams who are available ²⁴⁄₇ in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help your family.

Memorial Day 2018

5/25/2018 (Permalink)

We would like to thank all of our men and women who are currently serving. We would like to thank the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation. Without these individuals who have given their life, my family, would not have an opportunity to live in this country. If you are out this weekend please remind yourself that this weekend is not about sales or an extended weekend so we can have a barbecue. Please stop for a few minutes to remember the men and women that have given their life so that we can be in a free nation. Without their work our nation would be a different place. Without our countries support of the military they cannot survive. Please if you can donate your services, products or time to a special veterans group that is near and dear to your heart. Have a blessed weekend!!

Martin Luther King Jr Day

1/15/2018 (Permalink)

We would like to wish everybody an amazing Martin Luther King Jr Day. Please remember the struggles that our country has gone through. Just like our team at SERVPRO it only takes one person to start to make changes in a community. Remember what Dr. King started and let's continue to work towards the vision Dr. King had for our country as we work diligently towards a more perfect union.  Here are a few of his quotes:

“The time is always right to do what is right.” 

—from Oberlin College Commencement speech, 1965

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." 

—from Strength to Love, 1963

“If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, 'brethren!' Be careful, teachers!”  

—“The Purpose of Education” from Morehouse College student newspaper, The Maroon Tiger, 1947

Earthquakes

1/12/2018 (Permalink)

Here is a just a friendly reminder that we still live near a fault line.

 Did you feel them!? The University of Nevada, Reno’s Seismological Laboratory reports an ongoing swarm of earthquakes near south Reno, in the area of the Mt. Rose Highway and I-580.

Since Thursday night, more than 90 events have been located. The largest recorded are four magnitude 2 quakes. There have been no reports of damage, and about 38 people have reported feeling the small earthquakes.

As a public safety reminder local and state agencies urge the public be prepared in the event an emergency causes you to be self-reliant for three days without utilities and electricity, water service, access to a supermarket or local services, or maybe even without response from police, fire or rescue.

No injuries or damages have been reported at this time.

We would like to thank all who have served in our armed forces. We  send our prayers out to those who gave their lives for our great nation. Without the men and women who have served we would not have many of our freedoms we enjoy today as a nation. We know that as a nation we may seem divided , but when we have issues or disagreements we will make it due to our resilience as American's. Please , when you see a veteran this year, don't just walk by but thank them for their service. They served proudly under any administration. Even if we have disagreed with our current or past commander in chief, the men and women of our armed forces  who served so proudly. To our Veterans, from our family , we salute you and thank you for those who sacrificed for us. 

Thanks,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2017

We would like to wish from our family to yours a safe and productive Halloween. With all of the people out on the streets we urge from a parent to another please drive carefully. Also wear reflective materials so that others can see you. We recommend the color SERVPRO green. It is bright and very noticeable this time of year. Also don't forget that it is starting to get a little colder. Please make sure that you stay warm. Those pipes could freeze and you could have a serious water damage. These types of problems tend to happen when we least expect it and when we are having fun. If you do encounter a problem please don't forget to call the company that makes it "Like it never even happened."

Labor Day

The Story of Labor Day

Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and began as a tribute to workers who have allowed the United States to proper. At first it was a holiday adopted state by state. Over time the celebration began to catch nationwide and, in 1894, Labor Day was approved as a national holiday to be observed on the first Monday of every September.

There is some dispute as to who is truly the father of Labor Day. Traditionally it was attributed to Peter J. McGuire, a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor. However, historians in recent years believe a New York Central Union secretary named Matthew Maguire could have come up with Labor Day first.

McGuire or Maguire, it is still a great holiday celebrating workers of this United States!

Have a wonderful Labor Day and celebrate your right to this day off with family and friends.
