Disaster Doesn’t Wait for Office Hours | SERVPRO® of Northwest Bergen

If a fire issue pops up during the holidays, remember the trusted leader in the recovery industry, SERVPRO of Northwest Bergen County.

Water and fire damage have absolutely no manners. Emergencies show up both uninvited and with no advance notice.

It would be more convenient if all  emergencies happened during the workday, or at least during waking hours, but the fact is many don’t. So what do you do when an overnight or weekend issue arises?

You call SERVPRO of Northwest Bergen County, that’s what. SERVPRO of Northwest Bergen County is available 24 hours a day for emergency service, so you never have to wait for service. And that’s certainly a good thing, because every moment you have to wait allows further damage to settle into your home, such as:

After a fire. Once the angry flames have done their thing, their aftereffects sink their claws into your home, in the form of smoke damage and soot. Soot is the black, thick sludge that covers your interior after a fire, the result of unfinished combustion during the fire. It only takes a few minutes for soot to stain every wall, ceiling and yes, oh yes, every fiber of carpet.

The difference between soot and smoke leaving permanent residue and smell behind and not is only a few hours—that’s all the time they need to settle in for good.

After water damage. Water has both quick and long-term damage to do, and part of that long-term damage is setting up the growth of mold. Within the first 48 hours after your water issue, mold starts to grow on organic surfaces where too much moisture is present.

Beyond that, unexpected situations stemming from storms and natural disasters can surprise you at any time, and you need to know you can get help immediately when those moments arrive. Yes, it’s very rude of these occurrences to show up without notice, but at least you know the toughest, fastest team in the industry is only a click or call away. We’re SERVPRO of Northwest Bergen, and we’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

When you need help after a home or business disaster, fast service is a priority, and there’s nobody faster or more prepared than SERVPRO. Call us anytime to take advantage of our 24-hour emergency service.
