Plumbing and Maintenance Tips for LaFollette
At SERVPRO® of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties we witness firsthand the damage water can do to a home or commercial business. Here are some tips for maintaining indoor plumbing systems:
- Inspect appliance hoses and faucets
- Make it a practice every year to check hoses leading to water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerator ice makers
- Immediately replace any hoses that have cracks or leaks, and replace them all every five to seven years
- Inspect showers and tubs
- Check the seal and caulking around showers and tubs to make sure they are watertight and reseal if necessary
- When away on vacation, shut off the water supply to the washing machine and never leave the house while the washer or dishwasher is running
- Know the location of the main water shut-off valve in your home
- Being able to locate and shut off the main water supply quickly will save stress, money, and time

Sewage Spills Are Dangerous
SERVPRO of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties technicians are on-call 24-hours a day in Campbell County and have required safety gear and equipment to handle any form of a sewage spill.

Black water may also contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes.
Sewage backups happen for many reasons. Some examples are:
- Blockages due to tree roots
- Broken or collapsed sewer lines
- Septic tank obstructions
- City sanitary mainline obstructions

Ember fire prevention tips for Deerfield Resort
Our family loves to sit around the outdoor fire pit in the evening. One night a gust of wind came and blew some of the embers up and onto the decking above us, and a fire broke out. It happened so quickly. Although the Deerfield Resort fire department responded quickly and extinguished the fire before it could spread to other parts of the house, there was still a lot of fire, smoke, soot, and water damage left from the firefighting efforts.
SERVPRO of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties responds to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day, and we clean and restore all kinds of property damage. Research published by the National Fire Protection Association and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety reports that deck fires have a better chance of igniting when fuel sources are closer together. Here are some tips for minimizing fire risk from windblown embers to decks:
- Do not store items that can ignite underneath of a deck
- Increase the gap between deck boards from 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch
- Increase joist spacing from 16 inches to 24 inches
- Apply a foil-faced self-adhering flashing tape (foil-faced bitumen tape) on the top of each joist
