Fire Safety During The Holidays
11/25/2024 (Permalink)
At SERVPRO of Hannibal, we understand Fire safety. Fire safety is especially important during the holiday season when decorations, candles, and cooking can increase the risk of fires. Here are some tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe:
Decorating Safety
Choose flame-resistant decorations: Look for decorations that are labeled as flame-resistant or flame-retardant.
Keep decorations away from heat sources: Ensure that decorations are not placed near fireplaces, radiators, or other heat sources.
Use lights safely: Check holiday lights for frayed wires or broken bulbs. Use lights that are certified by a recognized testing laboratory.
Turn off lights when not in use: Always turn off holiday lights before leaving home or going to bed.
Candle Safety
Use battery-operated candles: Consider using flameless candles to reduce the risk of fire.
Keep candles away from flammable items: Ensure that candles are placed away from decorations, curtains, and other flammable items.
Never leave candles unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to bed.
Cooking Safety
Stay in the kitchen: Never leave cooking food unattended. If you need to leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.
Keep flammable items away from the stove: Ensure that oven mitts, wooden utensils, and other flammable items are kept away from the stove.
Use a timer: Set a timer to remind you when food is done cooking.
Christmas Tree Safety
Choose a fresh tree: If you have a real tree, make sure it is fresh and well-watered to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
Keep the tree away from heat sources: Place the tree away from fireplaces, radiators, and other heat sources.
Use appropriate lights: Only use lights that are rated for indoor use and avoid overloading electrical outlets.
General Safety
Install smoke alarms: Ensure that smoke alarms are installed on every level of your home and test them regularly.
Have a fire extinguisher: Keep a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location and know how to use it.
Create an escape plan: Develop and practice a fire escape plan with your family.
By following these tips, you can help ensure a safe and happy holiday season.

Winterizing Water Spigots
11/25/2024 (Permalink)
We've been spoiled with amazing weather this fall! However, it's definitely getting colder as December quickly approaches! Are YOU Prepared?
Winterizing your outdoor spigots is essential to prevent them from freezing and potentially causing damage to your plumbing. Here are some steps to help you winterize your outdoor spigots:
Steps to Winterize Outdoor Spigots
Turn Off the Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valve for your outdoor spigots, usually found inside your home, near the spigot. Turn off the water supply to the spigot by turning the valve clockwise.
Disconnect Hoses: Remove any garden hoses attached to the spigot. Leaving hoses connected can trap water in the spigot and cause it to freeze.
Drain the Spigot: Open the spigot to allow any remaining water to drain out. This helps prevent any water from freezing inside the spigot.
Drain the Inside Shut-Off Valve: If your shut-off valve has a drain plug, open it to let any remaining water inside the pipe drain out. Place a bucket underneath to catch the water.
Insulate the Spigot: Use an insulated cover or foam sleeve to protect the spigot from freezing temperatures. Make sure the insulation covers the entire length of the spigot.
Install a Frost-Free Spigot: Consider installing a frost-free spigot, which is designed to prevent freezing by draining water away from the spigot when it is turned off.
By following these steps, you can help ensure your outdoor spigots are protected from freezing temperatures and avoid costly repairs. Make sure to winterize your home or business to ensure you are free of water damage. Contact SERVPRO of Hannibal for more information.
