Summer Storms in Southwest Missouri

7/11/2023 (Permalink)

Summer in the Branson area brings a threat of thunderstorms with lightning.  Summer thunderstorms may pop up quickly or be staggered in clusters or lines.  The warm humid conditions of summer make our atmosphere favorable for producing heavy rain for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  The biggest threat of summer storms to humans and property a like is usually lighting, lightning can occur as far as 10 miles away from the storm.  Most lightning injuries or deaths are caused when people are caught outdoors and usually occur in the afternoons or evenings.

A good way to prepare yourself and family and prevent injuries is to familiarize yourselves with our warning systems.

•             A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued to tell you when and where severe thunderstorms are likely to occur. 
•             A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is issued when severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar.  A Warning indicates imminent danger.

Stay weather aware by listening to television, radio or your NOAA Weather Radio, a smartphone device is good to have on hand, there are many apps that will send notifications if you are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch or Warning.  It’s a good rule of thumb that if you hear thunder to go indoors, if you hear thunder lightning is in the area.

It is not uncommon to see skunks wandering around in Southwest Missouri this time of year.  Skunks are usually not a problem unless one gets trapped in the crawlspace of your home, when this happens the smell can permeate the house and everything in it. Skunk spray is not easy to get rid of it is an oily compound that is rich in sulfur. Sulfur atoms have a way of bonding with other atoms, and this makes it much harder to eliminate the smell.

We use SERVPRO’s bio-odor neutralizer on the affected areas, this completely eliminates the smell and does not just mask it.   Inside the home we remove all filters from the HVAC system, ventilate the air ducts and structure and pull in as much fresh air as possible.

 If you find your home has been invaded by these stinky creatures, we recommend you Call animal control or pest company that can relocate the skunks.  Clean up any pets that may have been affected. And Call SERVPRO of Nixa/Branson at 417-724-0084 to get the process going as quickly as possible. For more tips on odor removal visit our website.

Winter Weather in the Ozarks

2/11/2022 (Permalink)

A broken pipe causes water to run outside of the brick in an apartment building.

Living in the harsh Missouri Ozarks weather can have it challenges.  Severe weather comes in many forms in our area and one of them is winter storms.  We have learned you can never be too prepared for the weather that might come your way living in Springfield.  

There are some simple steps you can do to prepare your home for winger in the Ozarks.  Keep out the cold with insulation, caulking and weather stripping.  Install and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and don’t forget to check and replace your batteries twice a year. It’s a good idea to gather supplies in case you need to stay home a few days without power, batteries for flashlights and radio and don’t forget to have extra supplies on hand for your pets.  We like to have a plan in place for a source of alternate heating such as a generator.

A few tips to keep pipes from freezing are Keeping your garage door closed at all times, especially if there are water supply lines in the garage. Open Kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors where there are water lines, this will allow the warmer air to circulate around the plumbing, especially if the pipes are on an outer wall. Let water drip from a faucet, running water at a trickle will help prevent the pipes from freezing.

Sometimes even with all the planning in place pipes freeze and once the temperatures warm up you can be left with a mess.  If this happens you can always call SERVPRO of Springfield/Greene County to come and assess the situation. We are dedicated to responding immediately when you contact us.  A fast response lessens the damage and limits further damage and reduces cost.

A Flood of Concerns for Branson Area

3/4/2019 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO of Nixa / Branson for your storm and flooding cleanup

Spring will soon be upon us, along with spring rains. As needed as they are, sometimes those rains don’t let up for a while and Branson ends up flooded. When that happens, we may see images of people walking through flood waters. Many times, they have no choice as they’re trying to escape to higher ground. But sometimes we see pictures of kids, even adults, playing in floodwaters. There is something tempting about playing in water when it’s in places it’s usually never seen. But here are some serious reasons why you never want to walk (or play) in floodwaters:

• Creature features – some of your playmates may include poisonous snakes, bugs, leeches, disease-carrying rodents and decaying animal carcasses.  
• Shock value – a live power line could give way (which is not unusual in disaster areas) and land in the water you’re standing in. No description necessary.
• Junk in the funk – flood waters can carry and/or hide all sorts of debris that can harm you – broken glass, torn metal, splintered wood, etc.
• The force is not with you – it only takes 6 inches of rapidly moving floodwaters to knock you off your feet and carry you to an uncertain fate.
• Contamination abounds – many floods cause sewer overflows, releasing dangerous chemical waste and harmful microbes. These can make you very ill, especially if you swallow any or it comes in contact with your eyes, nose or open sores.
• They suck – when flood waters cover storm drains or sink holes, powerful whirlpools can form that may not be visible from above. They can pull you under and won't let you go.

If you must walk in flood water (standing only – never go into moving water unless you’ve got a rope attached and you’re with a fireman/EMT/etc.), then take all precautions. Wear protective clothing and where your skin or clothing comes in contact with the water, wash as soon as possible. Also make sure you keep up with all vaccinations. 

The dangers listed above can also enter your home during flooding. And even if the flooding comes from an inside source, some of these hazards still exist. So instead of trying to handle such a catastrophe yourself, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Nixa / Branson who are trained for such emergencies. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property. Then we’ll dry, dehumidify, clean, repair and return your property to normal.

Do You Have Storm “Four” Knowledge?

10/23/2018 (Permalink)

Prepare for Storm Damage in Nixa

Throughout life, there are many things you plan for. You try to structure your education so you’ll have a fulfilling and well-paying job. You may plan for a vacation weeks or even months ahead. Maybe you planned for the type of home you wanted, gathering blueprints, getting contractors lined up, choosing color swatches, etc.

But unfortunately, many of us don’t plan for disasters, natural or man-made. When they happen, people may say things like, “But I never saw it coming,” and “We didn’t have time to react.” Well, the time for action is long before a tragedy befalls you or your property!

According to FEMA, there are four main ways to prepare for storms you can and should do NOW:

1. Get informed
2. Make a plan
3. Assemble a kit
4. Maintain your plan and kit

1. Get Informed - Many areas have local emergency management offices and/or a Red Cross Chapter. These organizations can provide you vital information concerning local emergency response arrangements, evacuation plans and emergency shelters. It’s also a good idea to invest in a NOAA Weather Radio that will alert you during any time of the day or night for when possible destructive conditions materialize.
2. Make a Plan

• Conduct a family meeting that will inform everyone what your emergency plans are.
• Have an out-of-town contact that each one knows the number to. This is who you’ll call to inform where you are after a disaster strikes.
• Teach your children how and when to call emergency numbers.
• Have a prearranged location picked out as the place your family will meet in case you get separated from one another. Make sure everyone knows not only the best escape routes but the safe places to go inside your home if a tornado approaches.
• Know how and when to turn off water, gas and electricity at the main switches or valves.
• Have fire extinguishers ready and show everyone where they’re located and how to use them.
• Inventory your possessions and keep that list along with important documents in a safe deposit box.
• Keep your homeowners or renter’s insurance company’s telephone numbers readily available. (Also, be sure to keep SERVPRO® of Nixa/Branson's phone number close at hand!)

3. Assemble a Kit – this is a collection of basic family needs you’ll need after a disaster. These should be stored in a portable container and enough to last you three days. It should include food, water, a battery powered radio, a flashlight, etc. You can find a full list of items for your survival kit at redcross.org.
4. Maintain Your Plan – every six months, review your plans with your family, conduct evacuation drills and restock expiring food and perishables in your kit. Also, confirm your fire extinguisher is recharged and smoke alarm batteries are replaced.

Alan Lakein, an author on personal time management, once wrote, “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” That’s very empowering when you think about it. It’s almost like time traveling without a DeLorean or having to mess with all that space-time continuum stuff. Planning ahead for emergencies can also bring you great peace of mind. Think of it as an insurance policy against future disasters without the pesky premiums.
