SERVPRO of D&Y Counties has successfully assisted hundreds of NC home and land owners in water, fire, and mold damage, mitigation and restoration!
It’s that time of the year again- caps and gowns are dawned, pictures are taken, and congratulations are given and received. Many college, and even high school graduates, are entering the real world and taking on newfound responsibilities, like landing a job or buying their first home.
Buying and owning your first home can be a tricky process, especially for those that have spent the last four years living with family, or in apartments with accessible maintenance resources.
There are many things to know about homeownership that directly relate to your safety and the security of your property.
The SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Fire and Water Experts suggest the following tips to best ensure the safety of new and seasoned homeowners alike.
Fire
- Familiarize yourself with your home’s main breaker panel and know how to shut off your electric
- Regularly test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Check for any frayed wires, or other electrical hazards that could lead to a house fire
- Ensure all coils and vents are clean
- Change air filters and clean all air ducts / vents
- Assess landscaping hazards that could potentially feed a house or property fire
Water
- Assess whether or not your home is in a flood prone area
- Inspect pipes for rust, corrosion, or signs of leakage
- Locate your home’s main water shut off valve and know how to turn it off
- If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, insulate any exposed pipes to prevent them from freezing and bursting
- Fiberglass, tubular pipe sleeves, or foil insulation are all great options for insulating your pipes in the winter
- Locate any foundational damage that could lead to flooding
- Inspect rain gutters and downspouts
Remember, emergencies are never 100% preventable, but they can be successfully mitigated with the right precautions. Starting these habits as a new homeowner will make it easier to maintain it long term- allowing you to live and grow peacefully within your home!

Proactive Spring Cleaning = Emergency Preparedness
4/1/2022 (Permalink)
As you plan for spring cleaning, don’t forget to tackle some crucial property maintenance that may not be as obvious as scrubbing the baseboards!
It’s that time of year again… the flowers are blooming, the pollen is out for a vengeance and ‘spring cleaning’ gets added to the top of our to-do lists.
As you plan for your annual deep clean and refresh, don’t forget to tackle some crucial property maintenance that may not be as obvious as dusting the fan blades or scrubbing the baseboards.
Not sure where to start?
Check SERVPRO of Davie & Yadkin’s Emergency Preparedness Spring Cleaning Checklist:
Mold Prevention
North Carolina is known for its summer heat and high humidity, which can unfortunately lead to mold! Try introducing a dehumidifier in your home to reduce humidity levels and eliminate conditions where mold can thrive. Not only will this lower your risk of mold growth in your property, lower humidity levels can also deter dust accumulation! If you come across any mold infestation in your home during your spring cleaning, don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO of D&Y for mold remediation assistance. Mold is fast growing and dangerous for not only your health but can also cause serious structural damage to your property, so proactivity is key.
PS: Household mold can worsen those pesky spring allergies. Early detection and removal is key in mitigating allergy symptoms, protecting your overall health, and maintaining the foundational structure of your home.
Water Damage Prevention
April showers bring May flowers - and potentially months of restoration if your property is unprepared! Heavy rain and flash floods are inevitable, however, more trivial things like clogged drain pipes, leaky pipes, or broken water mains can also lead to water damage in your home. Making regular leak checks and rain gutter maintenance part of your spring cleaning routine can make all the difference in water damage prevention.
- Tip 1 – Look for leaks within your home. If you have a property in which your water supply was cut off for the winter months, make sure to turn it back on and monitor for leaks.
- Tip 2 – Look for leaks in or around your exterior hose bib. Although not inside your home, a leaky exterior spigot can lead to exterior, interior, and even foundational damage to your home. In freezing temperatures, hose bibs are prone to expanding and cracking. As spring temperatures set in and pipes begin to thaw, a cracked hose bib can lead to a continuous leak. If left undetected, even a slow leak can result in serious water damage to your property.
Fire Prevention
Be sure to test your smoke, fire and carbon monoxide alarms! It’s easy to forget about these until a disaster has backed you into a corner. This kind of proactive maintenance can help protect you and your family, as well as lessen the potential for irreversible property damage.

Streamflow Rehabilitation Assistance Program(StRAP)
2/21/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties has successfully assisted hundreds of NC property owners in water damage mitigation & restoration
A total of $38 million dollars is now available for a new program in North Carolina that aims to reduce flooding across the state’s waterways. The North Carolina General Assembly approved the money to create the Streamflow Rehabilitation Assistance Program(StRAP). It allocates money for projects that protect and restore the integrity of drainage infrastructure.
“This is a monumental step to help us prevent future flooding,” said NC State Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler.
“While we have previously secured federal and state money to clear debris from waterways after flooding events such as hurricanes, those efforts were reactive approaches that were part of disaster recovery funds. StRAP now allows us to be proactive in clearing waterways so we can hopefully reduce flooding and protect people’s property before the next big flood event happens. I’m grateful that the General Assembly understood the need for this program.”
This is great news for the Yadkin and Davie County areas, as flooded waterways often result in serious water damage to properties. If your residential or commercial property has suffered water damage from flooding, don't hesitate to call SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties! Our accredited Water Restoration technicians will make it "Like it never even happened."
Check out SERVPRO of Davie & Yadkin's blog to learn more about how our expert team handles flood damage and restoration:
Flood Resources + Blog
If you, or your county, is interested in the StRAP Program, please call the Yadkin County Soil and Water District at (336) 849-7583- accepting applications until March 14, 2022.

SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin County's 2021 Wrap-up!
Since the dawn of the new decade, the world has witnessed unimaginable change. From enduring an ongoing global pandemic, to requiring a new way of life, the modern 20’s have forced people and businesses to adapt.
Luckily for SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties, our team is made up of OSHA certified, COVID cleaning specialists. These qualifications have not only helped us keep our team and our community safe, but have made us an invaluable resource for both commercial and residential preventative COVID cleaning.
SERVPRO of D&Y has been in business since 2011, with 2021 marking our 10th year anniversary! Out of the past 10 years, the 2020’s have proved the most eventful and interesting. Our team has learned so much, and we are ready to take this progress and knowledge into 2022!
Check out 2021’s work:
Residential Cleans
Cleaning up after a fire is one of the essential elements in making fire losses "Like it never even happened." Restoring your property cannot happen without cleaning many of the exposed surfaces and materials. Removing soot damages and cleaning up fire debris are among the most hazardous and challenging of the restoration tasks in this phase. Removing soot often involves several different approaches ranging from water-based solvent wipe cleaning techniques to soda and media blasting.
- COVID Clean - Advance, NC
The rapid onset of the new COVID variants has increased the need for OSHA certified cleaning specialists to aid in preventing the spread of both the Delta and Omicron variants. SERVPRO teams have become an invaluable resource for both commercial and residential spaces looking for preventative COVID cleaning- especially within schools and homes.
The Advance, NC COVID cleaning listed above was requested by an individual who was returning home from a hospital stay and wanted his house sanitized prior to his return home. Using the “3 C’s of Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned'' as the standard, the SERVPRO of D&Y team was able to ensure this client’s home was sanitized and safe for him and his family.
Commercial Cleans
- Mold remediation in hospital operating room
Mold is sneaky, dangerous, and can take less than 72 hours to fully infest a property. That’s how a hospital in Sparta, NC ended up with mold in an operating room, of all places. When mold begins to invade, the infestation should be dealt with quickly, and safely. That’s why the hospital reached out to SERVPRO of Davie & Yadkin for emergency mold remediation. Our team aided the hospital quickly and efficiently, helping to ensure the safety of staff and patients without a disruption of schedule.
- Bio Hazard clean - Elkin, NC
SERVPRO is best known for fire, water and mold damage mitigation- however, that’s not all we are trained for. SERVPRO of Davie & Yadkin Counties is proud to specialize in biohazard and crime scene cleanup. The restoration of your property following a biohazard event or a crime needs experienced and empathetic professionals like those at SERVPRO of D&Y to safely clean them to our professional standards. Because traumatic events often involve biological and chemical contaminants, it’s very important to know that the restoration process is being handled in compliance with all government, environmental and health regulations. Clients can trust in the SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin team, no matter the circumstance.

SERVPRO 'Tis the Resource for the Season
12/15/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of D&Y offers 24/7 emergency services even during the holidays - because the best gift we could receive is your safety!
Christmas trees are the staple icon of the holiday season, and have long been the chosen decor source of light, warmth and comfort. Unfortunately, Christmas trees, both real and fake, also exist as the staple seasonal fire hazard for SERVPROs, firefighters, emergency services, and hospitals across the country - as many people are not aware of the hazard they pose if not cared for correctly.
Did you know that firefighters respond to roughly 160 home fires caused by Christmas trees each Holiday season, resulting in over $10 million in property damages? Over half of these are the result of faulty electrical distribution in Christmas lights, made considerably worse by a dehydrated and dry tree.
Fortunately, proper care can protect Christmas trees, and prevent their merry perception from going up in flames. Trees are NOT dangerous when cared for properly, so check out these easy steps to ensure the safety of you, your family and your home this season.
Safety Tips
- Use of lights that produce low heat, such as miniature lights, will reduce drying of the tree
- Always inspect light sets prior to placing them on the tree. If worn, replace with a new set
- Do not overload electrical circuits
- Always turn off the lights when leaving the house or when going to bed
- Monitor the tree for freshness. After Christmas or if the tree is dry, remove it from the house
- Find a recycling program near you to properly dispose of the tree
- Never burn any part of a Christmas tree in a wood stove or fireplace
SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties wishes everyone a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season. If your tree decides to become aglow with flames rather than twinkle lights, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Even during the holidays, we offer 24/7 emergency services - because your safety is always our top priority.
This is just another reason why SERVPRO should always be your go-to disaster mitigation and emergency service resource.

Winter is Coming 2.0 - The Best Defense is a Good Offense
10/18/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of D&Y is dedicated to being a disaster mitigation resource for all Yadkin County, Davie County, Bermuda Run and Advance residents. Call us.
Summer has finally come and gone, and the colder months are on their way. For SERVPRO franchises, this means an upsurge in water related disasters caused by things such as burst pipes, snow melt and blocked gutters due to neglect amid the winter weather.
For SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties, owners Trey and George McSwain were first introduced to the emergency restoration and mitigation community after experiencing their own water-loss due to frozen pipes at their family mountain cabin in Deep Gap, North Carolina. This loss was not only the catalyst for SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties, but taught this restoration team the importance of proactive prevention and restoration during the winter months.
Unfortunately, for those with residential property or vacation homes in Western NC, frozen pipes are the leading cause of water related disasters. In 2018, State Farm data claims that losses related to frozen pipes totaled more than $270 million. Although residential water disasters are pricey, they are preventable with the right proactive and preventative maintenance.
SERVPRO of D&Y is dedicated to being a disaster mitigation resource for not only Davie and Yadkin counties, but for all their Western NC neighbors subject to the harsh Appalachian winters.
Check out SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin’s Winter Weather Tips & Tricks to help prevent both commercial and residential water loss this upcoming winter season:
- Ensure that all your water hoses on the exterior of your home are unscrewed from the spigot
- Many people mistakenly believe that their hose bib will protect them from frozen pipes- however, if you leave your hose attached to your spigot, the water inside the hose will freeze and expand into your hose bib where the resulting pressure will cause a split in the pipe
- Never leave your water on if you are leaving or going on vacation
- If you are traveling, or you maintain a vacation home, ensure that your water is turned off at the supply to prevent an uninterrupted leak in your absence
- You may even consider draining your water lines and hot water tank until you return. Place a cup full of RV antifreeze in all sink/tub drains and toilets to prevent the water left in the bowls and p-traps from freezing
- Note the location of your water shut off valve in the case of an emergency
- Your sinks, toilets, washing machines and ice makers all have water supply lines bringing them H20. These supply lines are prone to breakdown with old age and or improper installation. Periodically inspect and change all supply lines at these areas along with their cut offs
- The interior water cutoff in your home is usually located just inside an exterior wall where your water supply line is brought into your residence. If you don’t know where your shut off valves are located, or are unfamiliar with their use, you should immediately learn their locations and how to manipulate the cut off valves to turn them off. In an emergency situation, this practice can mitigate flooding and loss while you await a plumber.
Learning and observing these proactive steps in your NC home can protect and limit your property loss from water damage.
Remember, your best defense against winter water damage is a good offense.

Only YOU - & SERVPRO - Can Prevent Wildfires
9/28/2021 (Permalink)
Locally owned SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties has proudly served the western piedmont area since 2011- ensuring our team’s familiarity with the nuances of emergency services specific to rural communities. Our two territories are home to over 1,000 of North Carolina’s farms- many of which are preparing for this season’s fall harvest.
The cooler and drier fall weather sets in as farmers work to reap the rewards of their growing season. This busy time, accompanied by the drier weather conditions, can often leave crops, animals, homes and hard-earned livelihoods susceptible to fires if not addressed properly.
Although most commonly associated with the western part of the country, North Carolina is home to its own fair share of wildfires that have long been a dominant driver of changes to the state’s landscape.
Resist Wildfire NC states that it’s not a matter of "if” a wildfire will occur in North Carolina, but "when.” Surprisingly, North Carolina ranks high on the Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI), which is defined as the area where homes and communities meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. Wildfires that occur within the WUI can be extremely dangerous and destructive to lives and property.
North Carolina is…
- #1 in the nation for amount of acres within the WUI (40% of NC land)
- #4 in the nation for number of homes in the WUI (52% of NC homes)
- #4 in the nation for the number of people in the WUI (over 50% of NC homes)
North Carolina’s WUI index ranking means that home and land owners must take the initiative in working to protect their property and neighborhoods before a wildfire occurs.
To combat this risk, SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties is ready to assist all Davie and Yadkin county residents with comprehensive fire damage mitigation and recovery this fall.
Check out the following tips, links and resources to protect your home and property during the 2021 wild-fire season:
- Clear: Clear pine needles, dead leaves, and anything else that can burn from your rooflines, gutters, decks, porches, patios and along fence lines. Falling embers will have nothing to burn.
- Store Away: Store away furniture cushions, rattan mats, potted plants and other decorations from doors, decks, porches, and patios. These items catch embers and help ignite your home if you leave them outside.
- Screen & Seal: Wind-blown embers can get into homes easily through vents and other openings and burn the home from the inside out. Walk around your house to see what openings you can screen or temporarily seal up.
- Rake: Embers that land in mulch that touches your house, deck, or fence is a big fire hazard. Rake out any landscaping mulch to at least 5 feet away.
- Trim: Trim back any shrubs or tree branches that come closer than five feet to your house, in addition to any overhanging branches.
- Remove: Walk around your house and remove anything within 30 feet that could burn, such as woodpiles, spare lumber, vehicles, and boats – anything that can act as a large source of fuel.
- Close: If ordered to evacuate, make sure all windows and doors are closed tightly and seal up any pet doors. Many homes are destroyed by embers entering these openings and burning the house from the inside out.
- Individual Homeowner Wildfire Risk Assessment
- This document provides a comprehensive self led assessment of your home’s fire risk rating, providing home and land owners with a final score indicative of their property’s risk of fire susceptibility, ranging from low to extreme risk.

Let's Keep Our Kids in the Classroom This Year
8/18/2021 (Permalink)
NC students are finally headed back to the classroom, however, the new Delta COVID Variant is causing mass uncertainty for parents, students and teachers regarding this new school year. As these cases start to rise, public school systems stand the risk of shutting down again, threatening to leave NC students learning from their kitchen tables yet again.
SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties, a locally owned and family operated emergency restoration franchise, says “this can’t happen again.”
Because the new variant has increased the need for OSHA certified cleaning specialists to aid in preventing the spread, SERVPRO teams have become an invaluable resource for both commercial and residential spaces looking for preventative COVID cleaning- especially schools.
To help prevent the spread, the CDC encourages cleaning of high-touch surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets and tables- all highly exposed surfaces that make schools the perfect hub for rapid transmission.
SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties have trained professionals ready to perform a proactive facility/structure cleaning and disinfection that meets all CDC prevention protocols- going above and beyond the scope of regular janitorial work. The Yadkinville based team hold over 20 industry certifications, making them a trusted leader in COVID and biohazard cleaning, as well as water, fire, mold and storm damage.
“Look, I have two kids myself. I understand how crucial an in-person education is for a student’s success,” said owner Trey McSwain. “Our main goal is to keep NC kids in the classrooms, however, this new wave of the virus poses a serious risk to that. SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin is ready to help local school systems combat the Delta Variant and keep our kids in school where they belong.”
McSwain says his team is ready to provide Yadkin and Davie County public school systems with expert coronavirus and biohazard cleaning to help ensure NC schools remain open. For all business inquiries, please reach out to Trey or George McSwain at 336-618-6558 or SERVPRO9942@yahoo.com.
Mold Damage in Your Advance Business Should Not Be a Cause of Alarm
7/21/2021 (Permalink)
Mold spreads quickly when the conditions are right. Contact SERVPRO to investigate the cause and remediate the damage in your business.
Call Professional Restorers Immediately When You Notice Mold Damage in Your Advance Business
Mold in a business or commercial building can be a frightening topic for business owners. If it is not properly cleaned up and eliminated by experienced restorers like SERVPRO, it can harm your business in the long run. If ignored, it can spread to other moist areas and fill the air with hazardous spores.
To begin the restoration process, we can thoroughly assess the commercial mold damage in your Advance business. Mold growth assessment involves more than just looking at what is growing in a corner or on the walls. Mold can be an unseen visitor that grows behind and around what you notice at first. Such deception necessitates inquisitive thinking.
What Causes Mold Growth?
Water or moisture problems are the root of all mold growth. To get rid of it, our SERVPRO team must first figure out where the moisture originates from, and how it enters your business. We can use thermal imaging cameras to check where the water is coming from and how it travelled.
By treating the moisture source, we can also prevent new growth. The area in which we shall work is determined by calculations of the contaminated area. Some of the methods we use include:
- Resolving the water issue.
- Isolating the contaminated region.
- Reducing the amount of dust caused by mold spores.
- Removing any porous objects that are moist or moldy.
SERVPRO’s restorers can treat the affected area with advanced products to bring back a healthy environment in your business.
Mold damage may distract your business operations if not handled professionally. Call SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties at (336) 677-1415 for fast remediation. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
