Summer Break. Summer Messes.

Ahhhh! Summer break.

School’s out. The kids are excited. You’re excited. Life’s good.

For a split second, parents, you think your schedule may become a little less hectic. Think, again. Your Summer will soon (if not already) be filled with your kids’ sporting functions on your already jam-packed calendar.

Here are three summer activities that can lead to a higher probability for messes in your home over the Summer break. In the event that it does, SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties will put you on their calendar to come out to your home or business to make those Summer messes "Like it never even happened."

Baseball/Softball

Baseball and softball games are a good opportunity for you to get outdoors, soak up the sun, parents to converse with other parents, kids to chat it up with their teammates, and more. However, it’s not so fun when you have to clean all the dirt and mud being tracked through your home.

Summer means increased foot traffic on your home’s carpets and floors. Cleats, equipment, and uniforms can track in dirt and mud from practice or a game. And those cleats can wreak havoc on your grout of your tile floors.

On top of that mess, before you departed to run some errands for a few hours, you decided to throw those filthy uniforms in the washing machine. When you returned, surprise! Water damage. Now, you have two problems on your hand. But, there’s one solution: SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties. We’ll make that carpet and floor stains and water damage "Like it never even happened."

Swim Lessons/Pool Time

Your kids return home from swim lessons. They learned the backstroke and a new dive. Nothing like that fun pool time. They’re super excited, so they run in to tell you all about it. As they’re running to you, they leave their soggy towels, bathing suits and swim trunks on the carpets in the corner of their rooms. More days, more swim lessons go by, which means more drenched swimming attire lingering in their rooms. Now the moisture has made its way to the walls.

Days go by, and you start to smell a musty odor. You enter their room and notice discoloration on the wall. Mold has set it. Another mess! Thankfully, SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties can make that mold damage at your home "Like it never even happened."

Arts & Crafts

Paint. Markers. Crayons. Slime. What do all of these have in common? They can all create messes on your carpets, floors, upholstery and walls.

Arts and crafts are all fun and games until that mess is on everything but the paper. Your carpets and walls are now painted like the colors of a rainbow. You panic because you realize you have out of town company coming in two days. The heroes at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties can ease your panic attack and get your carpets and floors company-ready and "Like it never even happened."

Get the visuals? As you can see, sometimes, the summer break can increase the chances for more messes. SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties is here to clean those Summer messes for you. Just call us at 573-339-1948.
