Weather patterns can be unpredictable and in a few situations can become dangerous. High winds have the ability to uproot trees, down power lines and send anything not secured to the ground through the air like a projectile. Property damage can be immense and multi faceted. Not only could you be faced with broken windows, roof damage and cosmetic repairs, water may become a secondary issue. When water comes into contact with entry points in your home, you can be looking at issues with drywall, flooring and any physical part of your home that comes into contact with the water. Mold can grow rapidly in moist areas that the water has affected. Then longer water sits where it doesn't belong, the higher the cost will be to repair all the damage it incurs. SERVPRO is available day or night to answer your call or any questions you may have. Give us a call today!

How to Survive a Riptide

7/12/2019 (Permalink)

Lake Michigan is known for its strong currents and dangerous undertows

In this edition of SERVPRO Survival we are going to be hitting on the most important steps to take if ever you find yourself or a loved one in the grip of a dangerous rip tide.

What we know most commonly as a ‘riptide’ is actually a rip current (a narrow channel of water rushing outwards) which can feel as gentle as a tug at first.

The Shallows:

Exit shallow water immediately when the sensation of tugging or pulling occurs. A rip tide is more difficult to maneuver from when in deeper water.
If you are in chest deep water and still able to touch bottom, walk sideways out of the line of current and immediately make your way to shore. (Always take note of posted warnings and do not swim where it is not recommended)
Swept away:

Remain calm. Rip tides WILL NOT pull you below the surface, even if it feels that way. What the current is doing is pulling you out further, not under. You must keep a calm and clear mind to handle the situation.
Do not exhaust yourself. If you are an adequate swimmer you are in no immediate danger of drowning if you do not over exert your mind or body.
Call for help if there is anyone in the immediate area.
(DO NOT ATTEMPT any rescue efforts without the aid of a flotation device. You could be swept away as well. Immediately call for rescue services)

Swim parallel to the coast line, no matter how far you have drifted. Swimming parallel to the coast will release you from the hold of the current. Swim in the direction of the breaking waves, as this indicates where the rip tide ends.
Back Float:

Conserving energy is essential to rip tide survival. If you feel yourself losing energy, the best technique is just to flow with it. Do not panic that you are further from shore. Back float and relax until the tide has dissipated and rescue efforts can commence.
Out of its grasp:

Swim diagonally to shore once released from the current. It reduces the possibility of reentering it unintentionally.
Rest as frequently as necessary to regain and sustain energy.
There is no way to predict when certain emergency situations arise. These simple and effective tips can help better ready yourself for when tragedy strikes. Stay aware of your environment and stay safe.

11/8/2018 (Permalink)

When we are in the face of disaster clean up, it’s easy to become focused on the major issues at hand. Instigating problems need immediate attention such as the pipe that burst and flooded your basement, or a fire that ravaged your facility and triggered the sprinklers to soak your electronics. Dealing with the source is of utmost urgency. What we don’t always take into consideration are the possessions that sustain damage with those disasters.
