Winter Fire Safety Tips for New Philadelphia Homes and Businesses
12/14/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of New Philadelphia cares about your family’s safety.
SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is just as excited as you are about all the holidays, treats and activities. But as winter is at its peak---let’s review some winter safety fire tips to keep everyone safe throughout the holidays.
No matter what you use to heat your Dundee and Uhrichsville home, making sure the heating device is in good working order is very important. With so many things that could go wrong with heating equipment during the summer and spring months when you are not using them---this needs to be a priority in the winter.
Get your central heating system cleaned and serviced by a New Philadelphia local, certified HVAC company, such as SERVPRO, every year. Make sure you change your furnace filter before you turn on the system too. If you have a gas heater, make sure your carbon monoxide detector is working and functional. Those do have a shelf life. So, make sure it’s in good, working order!
If you have a drafty Malvern home and you utilize space heaters---make sure to follow proper safety protocols. Make sure the space heater has room to breathe with at least three feet of empty space, never place clothing or blankets near a space heater, do not place the unit near draperies or furniture, and never leave a space heater unattended or left on when you sleep.
If your Minerva home has a fireplace--- get your chimney inspected annually to make sure it stays clean and open. You can even hire a chimney sweep to clean it out every fall. Make sure to repair any cracks in the fireplace. Always use the fireplace as intended with the screen to ensure no sparks hit the carpet or flooring. And never use gasoline to start a fire in your home fireplace.
Lastly, this is a great time to go over what to do in the case of a fire at Gilmore and Strasburg home. Teach your children and family members where to go and how to respond, and what to expect in the case of fire. Practice stop, drop, and roll, and create a fire escape plan on paper.
SERVPRO of New Philadelphia cares about your family’s safety. We are the number one fire restoration company in the New Philadelphia area, with 15 territories all over NE Ohio and Western PA. Should you need a professional company for fire restoration, SERVPRO of New Philadelphia has the expertise and manpower to take care of any size job---large or small.

A Lesson on Stop, Drop & Roll
2/2/2021 (Permalink)
Stop, Drop and Roll SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF YOUR CLOTHING CATCHES FIRE
As a kid, especially in Kindergarten, Stop, Drop, and Roll was a big deal. In fact---adults of today are still perplexed on how we have gotten through our lives without ever having to act this procedure out. But jokes aside---Stop, Drop and Roll is a life saver and SERVPRO of New Philadelphia wants to give our adults (and kids alike) a little re-lesson on this true lifesaving, forgotten technique.
Stop, Drop and Roll is a method to use if your clothing catches fire. You should always stay away from fire. But if your clothing does happen to catch fire the NFPA suggests: “Stop where you are. Drop to the ground and cover your eyes and mouth with your hands. Roll over and over and back and forth until the flames are out. Cool the burn and get medical help.”
Allowing your children to understand how Stop, Drop and Roll works is very important. Kiddos get very confused, especially littler children, when to use this technique. Stop, Drop and Roll SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF YOUR CLOTHING CATCHES FIRE. The NFPA warns that “children who do not have a good understanding of stop, drop, and roll will sometimes do this if they burn a finger or need to get outside if the smoke alarm sounds. Using stop, drop, and roll under the wrong circumstances could be very dangerous.” Littles should understand that if the home is on fire---they should immediately get outside.
Here's the true method of Stop, Drop and Roll.
- Stop where you are.
- Drop to the ground – lay flat with your legs out straight and cover your eyes and mouth with your hands.
- Roll over and over and back and forth until the flames are out.
- Get help from a grown-up right away.
- The most important thing to remember is to stay away from fire. It can catch your clothes on fire.
- Only use “stop, drop, and roll” if your clothes are on fire.
If you’d like to practice with your family. Here is a YouTube video that makes this serious practice memorable.
Fire is no laughing matter. And SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is the fire restoration specialist in the Dover area.

Using a microfiber dust cloth to capture dust mites. This is more beneficial than using an old rag or t-shirt.
Have you ever looked around your home and thought… where does all this dust come from? If you knew what was in dust---you may think twice about weekly dusting. Dust is sloughed-off skin cells, animal dander and hair, dust mites and their feces, and decomposing bug parts.
EW!? This should be enough incentive to get you moving to get some of that dust up. SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is an expert residential cleaner and is here to give you some tips to keep that tricky dust from coming back so soon.
Using a microfiber dust cloth to capture dust mites. This is more beneficial than using an old rag or t-shirt. Microfiber dusters come in various shapes and lengths for reaching blinds and ceiling fans. If you do not use microfiber, dampen your cloth. This makes picking up dust a breeze.
If you have wood floors, you may not want to use a wet mop. Obviously, a wet mop picks up more debris…but some floor surfaces will not allow for it. If you have wooden floors---just running a dry, microfiber mop across the floor, daily, keeps dust away.
Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Especially with a sweeper that has a HEPA filter. HEPA stands for (high-efficiency particulate air) filter, which traps more of the tiny stuff. If you run it once a week on high-trafficked areas this should be a major help in keeping dust away.
Change your furnace filter. Believe it or not---this should be done monthly to every three months. Probably on your way to the hardware store right now, aren’t you?
Declutter items that pick up more dust. Things like books, textiles, blankets hold onto dust inside their nooks and crannies. Put books and blankets in plastic bins to cut down on collecting dust.
Don’t forget to sweep with your old buddy the broom. Picking up the smaller particles on a daily basis stops the spread of dander throughout the home.
But if you want to go a step further SERVPRO of New Philadelphia has the expertise to provide a deeper clean than your basic house cleaning service. Our residential cleaning services will ease the burden of the constant maintenance cleaning of your home, but will also create a safe, clean and comfortable living environment for you and your family.

Mold Removal VS Mold Remediation in New Philadelphia, OH
10/28/2020 (Permalink)
Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
You have mold problem in your home. You have heard the terms ‘remediate’ and ‘removal’ of mold. But what really is the difference? And how do you, as a homeowner, make a proper decision? SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is here to help.
Here’s a spoiler alert. There is no way to completely remove mold from the home. Microscopic mold spores exist everywhere, inside and outside. Removing it 100% is completely impossible. Many restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy. We understand mold and mold growth. SERVPRO of New Philadelphia has the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business.
When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. Learn more about SERVPRO’s mold remediation process.

What Kind Of Roof Is Best For My Home?
10/1/2020 (Permalink)
The right roof for your home can not only look good but can also protect your home during a storm.
The right roof for your home can not only look good but can also protect your home during a storm. There are several different types of roofing available, each with its own pros and cons. Below we give you some different options along with the benefits and downsides to each to help make your decision process a bit easier.
Types of Roof Shingles
- Asphalt
Of all the different types of shingles, these are the most used because they are the least expensive and relatively easy to install. These shingles are made of fiberglass mats coated with asphalt containing sand-like granules.
The downside: Asphalt shingles have a relatively short life span of 20 to 30 years.
Why choose asphalt roofing shingles? They are the most economical of roofing options and come in plenty of styles and color selections.
- Metal
This type of roof is made with many different materials – aluminum, steel, copper, zinc and titanium. If properly maintained, your metal roof could last up to 50 years. You may want to consider metal if your home’s roofline is flat or steep.
The downside: Metal roofing can become noisy whenever it’s hailing or raining.
Why choose metal roofing shingles? They are durable, fireproof, and good at shedding snow and ice.
- Slate
Not only are slate shingles durable – lasting anywhere from 80 to 100 years – they are also highly resistant to water and physical damage.
The downside: In addition to their high price tag, slate is expensive to repair because very few roofing companies specialize in this type of shingle. Furthermore, slate is rather heavy and may not be a good fit if your home cannot handle the weight.
Why choose slate roofing shingles? They are one of the longest-lasting types of roofing material you can choose, and on the right style of home, adds a nice visual appeal.
- Wood
Aside from being durable and having a lifespan of 30 to 50 years, wood shingles are more environmentally friendly than other types. This type of roof shingle is usually made of cedar but can also be made of other rot-resistant woods, such as redwood.
The downside: Although energy-efficient and long-lasting, wood shingles are less fire-resistant than other types. They are also more susceptible to termites and mold.
Why choose wood roofing shingles? They’re visually appealing and generally cooler than other types of shingles that are darker in color.
