With the ever-evolving nature of COVID-19, we at SERVPRO of Highland Village hope to provide you with the tools necessary to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. We advise all community members to practice social distancing and limit physical interaction with others by always staying at least 6 feet apart.

The Dangers of Asbestos

These technicians are removing asbestos that was found in ceiling panels in this commercial building.
Have you heard of asbestos? Does that word scare you? Do you know where asbestos originates from?
Asbestos is found all over the world, it is a naturally occurring mineral. Asbestos has crystals that form long, thin fibers.
Asbestos became popular as a component in insulation in the late 1800s. Insulation containing asbestos was primarily wrapped around boilers and pipes, as well as other high temperature applications.
Asbestos has been found to create negative long-term health effects in humans. One disease that can develop is asbestosis. Asbestosis typically develops over 15 to 30 years and is characterized by fibrotic scarring of the lung which can reduce lung function and capacity. This can create shortness of breath.
Multiple cancers can be developed after being exposed to asbestos including lung cancer and mesothelioma. When a person has been exposed to asbestos fibers, their risk of developing lung cancer increases by 5 times. For reference, cigarette smokers increase their chances of developing lung cancer by 10 times.
Mesothelioma is the rarest form of cancer that can develop after exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the chest cavity lining and possibly the abdominal cavity lining. Mesothelioma spreads very rapidly and is always fatal.
If you believe you may have asbestos in your home or business, call the removal professionals--SERVPRO of Highland Village.

Extreme Response Team

Should extreme weather threaten your home or business, the ERT is on standby to offer additional assistance
Tornado season runs usually from March to June; hurricane season is June through November. Between those two seasons alone, Texans can potentially face lots of storm activity.
Already this summer has seen large amounts of rain and flooding across the United States.
When torrential rains, swelling streams, strong winds, and lightning strike...sometimes the damage is so widespread that the SERVPRO franchises in the affected area aren't able to meet the needs of the communities around them.
Should that occur in our area, SERVPRO of Highland Village has access to the Extreme Response Team, which can be activated as needed. These units are specially trained and equipped to assist and support in large loss situations. They are able to come alongside the local franchises and lend their strength, resources, and time to help the impacted community get back on its feet.
SERVPRO of Highland Village is Faster to Any Size Disaster.
