SERVPRO of Westfield is Here to Help® with your business' disaster recovery!
When a disaster strikes, it can leave your mind swirling with thoughts. You may primarily be focused on the welfare of your loved ones, with worries about the shape of your home another largely consuming concern.
As you begin to sort things out, thinking through how to start and handle your insurance claim process may not even be on your to-do list. Even if it isn’t, the faster you can start the entire recovery process, the better.
Our team is here to help you put all the pieces of your life and your recovery back together. We will make managing your insurance claims process simple.
Start Fast, Document OftenWhen it comes to disaster cleanup, the faster you can move, the better. Every disaster will be different and come with its own unique challenges, but the sooner you can respond, the less damage your property will incur. Make sure you keep safety as your first priority. Stay away from floodwaters, downed power lines and potential hot spots after a fire.
Make sure your loved ones and neighbors are safe, too, so that any emergency needs can be addressed right away. Clear roads if you can safely do so to allow for vehicles to safely pass.
When you feel comfortable that everyone is as safe as possible, call our SERVPRO® office and start your recovery. We will take a lot of information over the phone while we also mobilize a team to your property with the equipment necessary to restore things back to normal fast.
Once our team is headed your way, start assessing the damage done and take as many photos as you can. When it comes to insurance claims, the more documentation you can provide, the smoother you process will be. If there is something you need to fix before our team gets there, make sure to take note of what you did in order to provide that information on the claim later.
Leave It to Our TeamWhen our team makes it to your property, we will immediately start securing your home in order to prevent further damage and keep the elements out. While we tarp your roof or board up broken windows, we will also look through all of your pictures and other documentation in order to add anything additional you will need for your claims process. Our staff is well-trained in the requirements that insurance companies carry, which means we will take every step possible to make the claims process successful.
While we work through your recovery process, we will create an itemized list of your losses. Because we are certified in insurance inspection standards, all of the work we complete will be to the highest degree. We also make it a goal to restore as much of your property as we can so that you have less to replace. Whatever we can do to keep your cost low and your insurance claims process easy, we are going to do it.
You can put your recovery into the hands of our team and know that everything, including your insurance claim, will be as easy as it can be. We will work hard to get your life put back together so you can get back to normal.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.

You need a company that has plenty of experience and comes with trained and certified professionals.

Our professional staff has felt firsthand the power of seeing our community affected by disaster, and we have cleaned up after every major and minor event that has occurred all around town. We aren’t just here to get the job done, we are here to get our lives put back together.

An Extra BenefitWhen calamity makes its way into our community, you can be confident that we can take care of the aftermath.

Understand the Different Kinds of Weather Alerts | SERVPRO® of Westfield
8/18/2022 (Permalink)
If you suspect any damage to your home from a recent storm, call SERVPRO of Westfield.
There are many different types of weather warnings, around 42 kinds to be exact. Each one is organized into one of seven distinct categories. It’s best to be informed about these alerts before severe weather strikes!
Understanding these weather warnings can help you prepare for any weather emergency that may affect our community. You’ll also know how to prepare your home to withstand any disaster.
Understanding all types of weather is important, but understanding what weather might strike Westfield is even more critical for staying safe.
How Alerts Are IssuedSo, how are these weather alerts issued in the first place? How is the intensity, position and duration of a storm monitored if weather forecasts are just forecasts? The issuance of these warnings is influenced by a number of variables.
The National Weather Service is responsible for forecasting weather conditions and issuing any warnings when necessary. To ensure these warnings are location-specific, there are six regional offices and hundreds of sub-offices located around the country that send out these alerts. You’ll find your warnings in Westfield coming from the Southern Region headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
Satellite radar, weather balloons, seismic activity meters and even ocean buoys are a few of the tools used by NWS meteorologists and other employees to develop forecasts. While the type of data used varies depending on the intensity of the weather condition, the primary objective is to create a prediction that is as accurate as possible.
The Most Important Alerts to UnderstandUnderstanding the distinction between a “watch” and a “warning” is critical when understanding these weather warnings. This is terminology that is used in most weather alerts, including thunderstorms, hurricanes and strong winds.
A watch indicates conditions are being monitored and could become severe, so you should take necessary action to keep safe. A warning is given in a smaller community, like a county or city, whereas a watch is issued in a larger area.
A warning means that a severe storm is approaching your area and you should take shelter immediately.
Understanding the many types of weather your community encounters regularly can help you know what to do when these weather alerts are issued during severe weather. Because Texas is a coastal state, residents in the Westfield region are vulnerable to hurricanes. You’ll receive hurricane advisories as soon as conditions develop within our community.
Protecting Your Home During a StormThe best approach to protecting yourself and your property from weather threats is to become familiar with the many kinds of weather alerts, but there are a few other actions you can take to prepare your home for severe weather.
Cleaning your gutters and fastening any outdoor furniture is a simple way to safeguard your home for severe weather conditions such as flooding or strong winds. Prepare a shelter for your family with essential items and have an evacuation plan ready in case of an emergency.
Give SERVPRO a call if your home has been damaged by severe weather, such as hurricane-force winds or a flood. We can devise and carry out an effective restoration plan to restore as much of your home as possible.
Understanding what kinds of weather threats might impact our hometown is the best way to prepare for severe weather. Learn the many warnings that may be issued during severe weather so that you and your home are prepared for any crisis.

Matterport camera captures a 3D image of the structure.
Traditionally, restoration companies scoped projects by sending a technician to photograph and measure a home or business, a process often requiring three or more site visits. For SERVPRO of Westfield, 3D capture transformed their workflow, eliminating the need for multiple visits to document hundreds of 2D photographs and manual measurements. Our investment is producing excellent upside, enabling the company to provide greater transparency of site conditions to adjusters and owners. When we receive a call from a customer, saying their home or business is damaged, the company captures the space with the Matterport Pro2 camera, uploads the scan to the cloud, and uses the 3D model to assess the damage, scope the work, and capture measurements. We are now able to produce an estimate more efficiently! By sharing the 3D models with stakeholders, we’ve reduced the number of inquiries and disputes from insurance adjusters, building consultants, and owners. 24-Hour Emergency Service Faster to Any Size Disaster Highly Trained Restoration Technicians A Trusted Leader in the Restoration Industry Locally Owned and Operated Advanced Restoration and Cleaning Equipment Have Questions?

Your home is the site of an incredible number of goings-on, and many of them carry a certain degree of hazard. Think about it—you run electricity to dozens of outlets and devices, you have water streaming all over the place through pipes and sewer systems, you have a roof that takes a beating every day from the elements to keep you guarded, and so much more.

Water intrusion incidents happen without any warning leaving a trail of destruction in your home. Apart from removing the water, other steps, such as cleaning, stain removal, and even rebuilding some parts of the home, may be necessary. Calling SERVPRO of Westfield to handle the restoration can help you get quicker results because we have a deeper understanding of the process along with much experience.
Anticipation of Problems
Properties in Houston hit by water damage undergo different stages of deterioration depending on the amount of water spilled, and the time it takes to restore them. Some problems like rusting, rotting in wood, or even mold development, which are challenging to address, happen in the later stages of the loss. Anticipating such problems can ensure correct actions are taken early, thus preventing them from developing. Our SERVPRO of Westfield technicians expedite water removal, especially around hardwood floors. We can also remove some boards to prevent buckling when the floor swells after absorbing water.
Understanding Material Structure
The various materials that make up the house are unique in many ways, including having different internal structures. The structure affects absorbency and ability to hold water for long, which can have several implications, including fueling mold growth, long after the water spill incident happens. Our SERVPRO of Westfield technicians have extensive knowledge of various building materials. For example, we understand the arrangement and size of pores in woods such as Red Cedar. We also understand whether a specific house has a tight, loose, or moderate envelope and its impact on the drying process. The envelope means several things, including the roof, ceiling, foundation, and finished floors, among other aspects.
Variety of Sophisticated Equipment
The restoration process involves several steps performed together or separately. Most of the steps require equipment to complete. We have sufficient equipment making it easier to complete such steps. Some equipment can also shorten the process. For example, using injection-dry systems and drying mats, it is possible to remove water from floorboards without demolishing such areas, which can become quite costly. There again, we try to restore and not replace building materials and internal fixtures.
Better understanding of water loss helps improve the restoration process. Call SERVPRO of Westfield at (281) 907-0018 to help address any issue you face after the loss, “Like it never even happened.”
