Managing Insurance Claims, Made Simple | SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties
4/15/2024 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties is Here to Help® with your business' disaster recovery!
When a disaster strikes, there are so many things that will go through your mind. Considerations for your safety and the safety of those around you are likely the first things you will think about, along with how much damage has been done to your house.
While you start sorting out everything that has happened, thinking about filing an insurance claim might initially be far from a priority. Safety should always be your No. 1 focus, but the faster you can start your recovery process, the better.
Our crew is here to pick up the pieces around the clock after a flood, fire, storm or any other disaster. We will get you on the right road to recovery, including working with your insurance company, so you can keep your focus on caring for the ones you love.
Start Fast, Document OftenRegardless of the kind of disaster that has happened, the faster you can start your recovery process, the less compounding damage you will have. Remember to make safety your first priority, though—stay in a safe location, out of floodwaters, away from downed power lines and clear of potential fire hotspots until you know everything is completely safe.
When you can safely move around, check in with loved ones and neighbors to ensure immediate medical attention isn’t required. Once you know everyone is OK, call our SERVPRO® office while you safely walk your property. We will put together a team to head to your property as we gather as much information about your situation as possible.
Take as many photos as possible of the damage done. The more you can document, the easier your claim process will be. If you see immediate issues that can be corrected—like a faucet that can be turned off, for example—go ahead and fix them, but make note of what was wrong and how you corrected it.
Leave It to Our TeamOnce our crew arrives, we will prioritize securing your home to prevent any further damage. As your roof is secured or broken windows are covered, we will also take a look at everything you have already documented in order to start the insurance claim process. Our team is highly trained not just in repairing damage, but in what is required by insurance companies for an expedient and successful claim.
Our crew will put together an itemized list of your losses, as well as the photos you took and the ones our professionals will take in order to make reporting damage simple. We are also trained to meet insurance inspection standards in order to lower your potential costs. With a goal of restoring rather than replacing, our team works hard to keep as much of your property as possible, further lowering your recovery costs.
When you leave it to our team, we will not only get your home put back together quickly—we will make sure your insurance claim process is smooth and your losses are minimized. With one call, we can put your life back together after any disaster.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.

Is your home or business in need of restoration? SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties is ready to help you recover around the clock.
Decisions about your home can be challenging. You have to consider your tastes, comforts, safety, costs and so many other factors. There are small decisions that might feel simple, like the color of your appliances, and there are major decisions to make, like who you will trust to repair your home if it is ever damaged in any kind of disaster.
Experiencing a fire or flood in your home can be a tragic experience no matter how much damage happened, making working with a trusted, trained and certified company so important.
SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties is a locally owned business, and when you work with us you work with your neighbors. Our team is highly trained in all the latest restoration techniques and we have the certifications needed to ensure your project is completed to the highest standards.
We Adhere to Industry Trainings
Our team adheres to a specific set of standards called the IICRC standards, which means all of our professionals follow top tiered guidelines for cleaning and restoration. While we follow these standards in a number of areas, our main ones include:
water damage repair and restoration
fire and smoke damage recovery
mold remediation
carpet, upholstery and furniture cleaning
We also offer our employees the opportunity to train for a number of certifications. These trainings are self-paced, which means our staff can work on their own time to ensure they are completely absorbing all of the knowledge presented to them.
We Never Stop Learning
From the time we hire our staff, we begin training, and once employees have completed their onboarding, they can access a wide variety of continuing education and e-learning opportunities in order to never stop learning.
We also work hard to ensure that we have top-of-the-line equipment in order to ensure that any family in our community affected by a disaster can recover fast and completely.
Staying ahead of recently released information means that we can change how we do things according to the best possible practices. We utilize a lot of technology in our restoration process, and we make it our goal to keep up with any tech changes to ensure we have the latest tools, knowledge and materials to handle your home damage, regardless of size.
Why This Matters for You
When your home is damaged, you want things to get back to normal as fast as possible, which is why having a fully trained, certified and technically advanced restoration company right in your backyard matters! We can handle your restoration from the moment the disaster happens until you are completely satisfied with the finished project.

No matter what type of disaster you face, SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties is only a phone call away.
We are locally owned, and we know how hard the day-to-day of running a business is. Your to-do list is never-ending when you are trying to be successful, and a disaster can knock everything off-balance.
While oftentimes you can’t predict, and you certainly can’t prevent a natural disaster, you can get prepared for one.
Disasters don’t just strike offices either. Your home is also vulnerable to unexpected storms, flooding and a variety of other disasters. No matter where you experience damage, cleaning up and getting your life back together can be completely overwhelming.
To prepare yourself, start by creating an emergency plan that you can enact when a disaster is forecast in order to keep your home and your loved ones safe.
The American Red Cross has a wonderful website that can serve as a starting point for your emergency plan as you look more into the specific disasters that happen in Missouri.
For location specific information, keep county offices and the Missouri State Emergency management websites bookmarked. These sites will stay updated as disaster situations approach, and they provide contact information for emergency officials.
While an emergency plan is a great first step in protecting your home, damages may still affect your property. Regardless of the cause, the sooner response happens, the more of your property that can be restored. That’s why our 24⁄7 availability means we can be your go-to restoration professionals.
Why Choose SERVPRO?
No two situations are the same. Restoration needs are common around the nation, but every project will be different.
Flooding is one of the most common disasters. Annually, more than 14 million homes are at risk for being affected by floods, but the damage that occurs each time will be different.
Our professionals train regularly in order to be prepared for a variety of damages. Each project is taken one step at a time, and the unique needs are examined in order to get everything exactly as it should be.
SERVPRO is available around the clock. When it comes to disasters, the most important part of cleanup is how quickly someone responds. The sooner recovery starts, the less the damages can take over, and the faster your life is back to normal.
If you experience flooding in your home, damages can set in immediately to furniture, fabric items and paint. Water that sits unattended can create a mold problem, and over time, that could cause structural damages. With our 24⁄7 availability 365 days a year, we can get you recovered fast.
Our restoration service offers so much more. Not only do we recover the damages immediately caused by a disaster, we also handle every step of the process.
This can mean helping you pack up, covering your roof with a tarp or communicating with your insurance agent. We want to guide you through your entire recovery and ensure that the process is as painless as possible.

DIY Water Damage vs. SERVPRO Professionals
3/30/2022 (Permalink)
It is tempting to believe that some water damage scenarios can easily be handled on your own. Before you make that decision, we want to explain to you why you should call the professionals at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties when you have a water damage instead of trying to Do It Yourself.
Scenario
Your dishwasher overflows overnight. There is two inches of standing water on top of all of your hardwood floors in your kitchen and dining room. You call your uncle because he has an extra shop vac. He willingly brings it over and starts helping you suck up water. Together, with two shop vacs, it takes you three hours to suck up all of the standing water. You make a run to Lowe’s and pick up some large box fans. You set them up and let them run all day. That night, you notice some warping in your hardwood floors and think, “How is that even possible? We sucked up all the water?” The next morning, it’s even worse. Now you have to seriously consider replacing your beautiful but expensive hardwood floors.
What would have happened if you called the professionals at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties right away?
A bright green truck would have pulled up to your house, and a uniformed crew would have used a truck-mounted vacuum or submersible pump to suck up the water in a fraction of the time. With stronger power, more water between the wood panels would have been extracted and removed, making the drying process faster. After extraction, we would have placed a calculated amount of commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to aid the drying process. We also would have used our specialty equipment drying mat on the hardwood floors that continuously pulls water from between the cracks and specifically guides airflow between panels. Our professionals would have returned every day to monitor the drying process and adjust where needed. Your hardwood floors could have been saved.
Why SERVPRO®?
When you have a water damage at your home or business, rely on the professionals at SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties to properly handle the mess. In the long run, you’ll be glad you did.
The good news is that we offer more than just water restoration. Along with Fire and Water Mitigation, we do Mold Remediation, Storm Response, Biohazard, and other restoration work. Our cleaning services include Carpet and Upholstery, Air Ducts, Odor Removal, and various others.

Why Choose SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties? Longevity.
1/20/2022 (Permalink)
This fall, SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties will be celebrating 30 years in business in this community. Owner Richard and Sandy Hastings opened our doors in September of 1992. Nonetheless, this was not their first SERVPRO franchise.
Richard first entered the SERVPRO world in 1980 as a technician for a franchise in Delaware. After a lot of hard work, he was later able to purchase that franchise. As new opportunities presented themselves across the country for SERVPRO franchises, Richard decided to sell that franchise and pursue the almost-untouched state of Missouri.
He started the first SERVPRO franchise in St. Louis and began building a business from the ground up. In fact, when he moved, he didn't have much more than his SERVPRO van--not even a place to live! He figured it out along the way. It was there that he met his wife Sandy and later got married in 1987. A year later, she joined him in the business. A year after their daughter Brittany was born, they decided to sell that franchise and open up SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties.
Fast forward to 2016, their daughter and son-in-law Brittany and Mac Davenport joined the SERVPRO team. They held various roles for office administration, marketing, production technicians, managers, and eventually became part owners in the family business.
While Richard and Sandy are working towards retirement, they are leaving their trusted legacy with Mac and Brittany, helping and guiding them with their wisdom along the way.
At SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties, we take pride in being a family-owned business that enjoys giving back to the community and helping it thrive.
If you ever need fire or water restoration services, we hope that you choose SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties because of our longevity, consistency in creating happy customers, and our commitment to our community.

Why Use SERVPRO® For Your Duct Cleaning
4/10/2021 (Permalink)
Allergies are rampant during the Spring. Did you know duct cleaning can help? Duct cleaning can improve the air quality in your home and business. You may wonder, why use SERVPRO® for your duct cleaning? The SERVPRO® duct cleaning system is proven and cost-effective.
The ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality, but our highly trained and qualified technicians here at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties can help you change that! Inspecting the ductwork in your home should be a high priority. In most cases, the HVAC system has been operating for some time without much attention. Dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold, and irritating dust throughout your home.
What might be residing in your ducts:
- Rodents
- Dust
- Dirt
- Debris
- Bacteria
- Mold
- Pollen
- Insects
- Pests
A routine part of your local SERVPRO® franchise professional’s service is inspecting the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit (HVAC). Keeping the HVAC and ductwork clean can potentially extend the life-span of the equipment by allowing it to operate at peak condition, which may help save you money. Duct cleaning may not always be necessary. We will inspect your HVAC system and ductwork and make recommendations about the best way to address any indoor air quality concerns. This inspection can help save you money and provide peace of mind on the health of your HVAC system and ductwork.
In some circumstances, such as after a fire, smoke, or suspected mold growth, duct cleaning becomes an essential part of the cleanup process. In these cases, your SERVPRO® franchise professional can often restore the HVAC system and ductwork to pre-damage condition.
If you have a fuel-burning furnace, stove, or fireplace, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends it be inspected for proper functioning and be serviced before each heating season to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning.
Unlike the majority of duct cleaning services, SERVPRO® franchise professionals use a portable ventilation and air duct cleaning system to examine ductwork and make a clean sweep, removing years of dust and grime.
If your allergies persist this season, contact us to come out to provide you a FREE quote for duct cleaning. Call SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties at 573-339-1948 to make your appointment today.

Why SERVPRO®? Here to Help Your Hoarding Situation
1/16/2021 (Permalink)
Hoarding can be a serious problem in today’s society. Do you know someone who is a hoarder? If so, help exists. The heroes at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties will be your solution. Why SERVPRO®? Because we are here to help your hoarding situation “Like it never even happened.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, “A hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with a hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.” Many people with a hoarding disorder do not find their habits to be a problem.
Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage, such as old newspapers, junk mail, or packaging.
Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, which makes living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats, and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to the outside perimeter of the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard.
SERVPRO® franchises encounter hoarding situations in many capacities, so we have the experience to effectively handle those types of jobs. Many times, we’re called for a fire or water loss, and we encounter a hoarding situation when we arrive on-site. Our heroes here at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties will communicate with the insurance company regarding their contents coverage, and, after approval, contents can be packed out and possibly cleaned, dried, and safely stored at our local franchise, or relocated to a storage facility so the fire or water loss work can be performed.
Another way SERVPRO® franchises encounter hoarding jobs is through calls from landlords, caseworkers, real estate agents, or family members, often after the death of a loved one. In these situations, our professionals will see if they should look for any items of importance while they clean the job. Sometimes, family members will come and try to help the hoarder sort through their contents as well.
Hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, and each case is very different. Our heroes at SERVPRO® of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties are here to help make the mess “Like it never even happened.” If you encounter a hoarding situation at one of your properties or with your insureds, contact us. Remember, we are here to help your hoarding situation. Call us today: 573-339-1948.

When various materials burn, the soot they create differs greatly and requires a specific cleaning procedure. The 7 steps listed below illustrate the SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties’ process for the “typical” fire damage restoration.
Step 1: Emergency Contact
The restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask questions regarding the fire damage event that will help us respond immediately with the appropriate equipment and resources.
Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment
We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.
Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service
Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.
Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)
The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.
Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces
We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces.
Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing
We clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
Step 7: Restoration
Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
After the fire trucks leave, your home or business likely suffers from fire and smoke damage and extensive water damage from firefighting efforts. SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties has the specialized fire restoration training needed to restore your home to pre-fire condition.

Mold can be a serious problem at your home or business, so it’s vital that you understand mold and the different types out there. One type of mold out there that may really concern a lot of people is black mold. So, it’s crucial you educate yourself.
Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
Because mold can produce allergens and irritants, you will want a professional who has training and experience to properly resolve the mold infestation. If you suspect that your Cape Girardeau, Sikeston, Scott City, Charleston, Marble Hill, Jackson, Perryville, Chaffee, East Prairie or Benton, Missouri, home or business has a mold problem, SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties can inspect, assess and remediate your property.
