Safety First

Depending upon the location and extent of the water leak in your home, it may not be safe for you to enter your home.

Electricity is one of the largest dangers you face when you have standing water in your home. It’s no secret that electricity is dangerous. Additionally, most people are aware of the fact that water is a conductor which means electricity has the ability to pass through water. Therefore, standing water in your home has the potential to be deadly depending upon the amount of voltage passing through the water. Having the electricity shut off before entering your home is of the utmost importance.
Drywall is another potential danger. Especially if water has penetrated the sheetrock on the ceiling. Water always takes the easiest path possible to the lowest point possible. Drywall is never truly level. It is always sloped. The lowest point on the piece of drywall will be the edge of the sheet of drywall. Water will start to soak into the seam of the drywall and then start soaking into the drywall itself, making it heavier. The weight of the water-soaked drywall usually causes it to break off in large pieces and fall down. Older homes may have plaster which is less water absorbent but is heavier. Though plaster is generally more stable, it can cause more damage when it falls.
Mold can start to grow in as little as 48-72 hours after a mold spore has the right moisture levels. Mold spores are usually already in homes, but they do not grow because they lack the proper moisture levels. If you have been traveling or away from your home for a few days and come home to a water leak, you may have toxic mold growing. Mold can be extremely hazardous to your health and you should not disturb any areas where you suspect you may have mold growth. Many times insurance companies will not cover the costly expense of mold removal. It is imperative to start the water removal process and expedite the insurance claim process due to the extensive exclusions most homeowners insurance policies have. If your insurance company does not cover mold removal, we are one of the only water damage restoration companies in Las Vegas that has financing options for mold removal services.

Insurance Restoration Services is the best water damage company to hire in the Las Vegas 89104 zip code. We are always available to assist you anytime. We serve all of the 89104 zip code including the Las Vegas Valley, Sunrise Manor, & Winchester areas. We look forward to helping you with all of your water damage needs.

BIG Thank you to all the IRS Models who did not want to participate in this photo shoot but were great sports about it! Our Crew ROCKS!!!!!!!

#1- A Kitchen Fire- I walk away from something cooking in the kitchen all the time

I confess I get distracted EASILY and here’s why I really don’t like to cook! I cook, I really do, but it’s not my favorite thing to do. I start a meal and get bored. You know that part of the recipe that says ” bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes” I get the first part “bring it to a boil” got it… it’s the simmer for 20 minutes that gets me into trouble.

I start watching TV or I get hooked into the latest Facebook post about the dog with only 2 legs that ran a marathon or I call my mom (I love my mom and our hour long chats) or I take the dog for a walk….

So here’s what I’ve done- I bought a timer, and can’t remember where I put it. I rely on the smoke detectors to go off in the kitchen. I bring a chair into the kitchen and sit right in front of the stove, that’s so fun! – all really cleaver ways to not catch my kitchen of fire…. but my favorite is we go out to eat!!!!!!!

So far I have not had to call the Fire Department or my boss at Insurance Restoration Services to save my house from my cooking…..YET!

So here’s a quick run down of the top #2-#7 reasons for a house fire- and YES I think I’ve done or am doing all of them

2. Let your electrical cords get worn out

3. Overload your power strips

4. Buy a malfunctioning electrical appliance

5. Put something flammable near something hot

6. Leave a candle unattended-just for a minute

7. Use a fireplace or wood stove incorrectly

Makes you think, doesn’t it!!! I realize my home is a train wreck- it’s a miracle it’s still standing…. Here’s the funny thing I work for a company that responds 24/7 when there is Fire Damage to your home or business. I hope I never have to call my boss because I set my kitchen on fire and I hope you never have to call us. We all know accidents happen, fires happen, life happens. At Insurance Restoration Services we get it , we really do, and we are ready to help. We make bad situations better 24/7 and we do it with compassion and support because we know this could be us one day, this could be me.

I’m going to leave you with a few Fire Damage Safety Tips:

When you call us @ 702-463-7023 you will get a live person to speak with and a fast response to your emergency! Our first and primary concern is always your safety. Here are a few things to remember!

Never enter your home or business until we have properly secured it for reentry
Just because the fire is out, does not mean the danger is not there. Many fires, especially in our dry climate, can restart or even still be burning under bigger piles of rubble. Make sure you stay in contact with the fire department about when it would be safe to assume the risks of further damage are gone.
Once it’s safe to reenter the home, make sure you always wear protective clothing to protect yourself against hot surfaces, soot, and debris.
Turn off HVAC systems and open your windows to help rid the house of any chemicals circulating around in the air.
PLEASE gather all your important documents and belongings and move them to a safe and secure location to avoid them being stolen or damaged further. Unfortunately thieves do try to come into home that have had a fire and steal belongings that are in good condition still.
Photograph all the damaged property Pictures can provide so much more detail in the filing process for your insurance claim. We always recommend that you take pictures of everything- to send a copy to insurance, and to keep for your records.
Keep records of gas mileage, etc Many insurance companies will reimburse you for gas, food, and even temporary housing- so make sure you keep all the receipts of everything after the fire occurred.
As always- be careful about how often you enter the home or sort through the stuff. Fires can produce a lot of nasty chemicals that can bother your lungs and respiratory system. Always wear a breathing mask and always wear gloves!

If you have any questions please give us a call @ 702-463-7023. If you would like any information about our other services please check out our web site at www.irsvegas.com. We are also on Facebook and YELP.

Be safe and happy cooking!

“Guess what? There was a water leak while you were on vacation!”

This one sentence can turn those wonderful vacation memories into a nightmare. Even the smallest leak can cause major damage if it is left unattended for a few days. Wood flooring will buckle, carpets and padding are ruined . drywall will soak up the water all the way to your ceiling, your personal property water damaged beyond repair, and worst of all MOLD!

Standing water in a home can cause mold especially when the temperatures here in Las Vegas are 100+ degrees.

YES, water pipes in Las Vegas do freeze in the winter when the temperatures get into the 30’s at night and then that broken pipe will thaw when the temperatures start to warm up during the day. Leaving water flowing out of the broken pipe into your home. Don’t let this happen to you!

These simple tips can help save you from a nightmare like this!

Turn the water off to your home before leaving for an extended period of time, (this can be done at the street or in the home)
Have a plumber or handyman check your fixtures yearly for maintenance (the hard water in Nevada wears on the plumbing)
Have someone check on the home every few days when away for an extended period. Mold is generally not covered by insurance so the sooner the water damage is caught the less out of pocket expenses the homeowner will have.
Keep the heater ON while you are out of town in the winter. Lower your thermostat to 60- 65… this will keep the temperature in your home warm if the temperature outside drop.
Make sure the house sitter has a (working) contact # for you while you are out of town! AND give the house sitter our # Insurance Restorations Services 702-463-7023

I hope you never need to contact our company for a water, fire or mold issue, but if you do we are ready 24/7 (Yes even holidays) to respond. Just give us a call. We offer FREE ESTIMATES so go non vacation, make fabulous memories but have a plan so this nightmare never happens at your home.

Why should I call Insurance Restoration Services before I call my insurance company?

I get asked this question all the time and the answer is simple….. So you know what the heck is going on!

Let’s say you come home from work and step into soggy carpet, the first words out of your mouth will be something like “What the heck?” but maybe a little more colorful “*###*###*#?”

NEXT- you play detective, CSI-Water… What happened? Where is this water coming from? How do I stop it? , Who should I call…and the biggest questions How much is this going to cost me?

So you find the source of the water, hopefully it’s easy to find… then you shut off the water, hopefully it’s easy to do!

NEXT- You call your insurance company, hopefully they are open if not you have to call the 1-800#, do you know where their # is????

NEXT- You have to answer a bunch of questions like What’s your policy #, what’s your address? What’s a good # to reach you at? When did you first notice this? What happened? yada yada Meanwhile you are standing in soaking wet carpet grabbing every towel you own to mop it up with!

NEXT- You wait!!!! Could be an hour, could be three, could be 24…. Your Insurance company is calling someone out to assess the damage….. So you wait, and wait and wait… Finally “they” call and then “they” ask questions

WAIT? Who is “They” oh they are the company your insurance company called to help you. WAIT? Who are they? Wouldn’t you like to know something about them before they come into your home and start ripping things apart to fix it? I mean it’s your home, your personal possessions, your family shouldn’t you know who “they” are?

So “they” come out, start the process of fixing the issues and you are rolling…

NEXT- More questions. What’s my deductible? How much do I have to pay? When can “they” start/finish the work, Is this a cover loss? and the biggest question of all, Will my insurance go up?

OK LET’S STOP RIGHT HERE – Insurance Restoration Services can make this so much easier.

CALL US FIRST- (702) 463-7023 With just one call, we respond quickly, usually within 30 minutes or less. We evaluate the situation for FREE- Yes a FREE ESTIMATE!!!! Now you know what the heck is going on. Then we work with your insurance company to start a claim

Meanwhile we are stopping the water from doing anymore damage than it has done already which is saving you money & time by not waiting for 1, 3 or 24hrs for help! We are there answering your questions (not you answering someone else’s questions) in person, a professional in water damage in your home accessing the damage with you, what a concept!

NEXT- You call your insurance company and tell them what has happened YES, now you know what the heck happened!!!

No WAITING, No WONDERING, No GUESSING

Oh did I forget to mention we do this 24/7????? Our crew never sleeps. A live person answers your calls at 2am and comes to your home… and you know who “they” are. It’s us Insurance Restoration Services!!!

Lastly- A SHOUT OUT…… Las Vegas has some of the best Insurance Agents I have ever met! No matter what company you are insured with make sure you know who your insurance agent is- and make sure they know who you are. They are the insurance experts, you pay your premiums to make sure your home, car, life are protected, trust me they want to help! Meet with them ask them, ask them questions, make sure you are covered properly….. don’t wait till you have a claim to find out you are not covered!!!

Let me start by saying…. We are not “That” IRS

Insurance Restoration Services, is our name and handling water damage, fire damage and mold is our game… ok so I like to rhyme, no actually rap…. I like to rap!

When I started with the “IRS” I wondered what kind of response I would get? Driving round town in the “IRS” hot rod talking to people about our company, explaining our services and getting them to call us anytime day or night…. yes that’s right

Wait maybe I should back up and introduce myself.. I’m Heidi, the (fabulous) Account/Marketing Rep for Insurance Restoration Services… I enjoy meeting people, actually more like talking, I like talking! Give me a message and I will get it out there….

For over 10 yrs I sold homes……………………. actually I talked people into buying homes…. When the market tanked I shifted right and became an Insurance agent…. spent 7 years talking about insurance…. I got BORED… I talked about the same thing every day from behind a desk INSIDE an office where the view never changes…..

Now I work for the “IRS”…. no not that IRS… this IRS (please keep up)

Water Damage? Fire Damage? Mold? We offer 24/7 service… you call.. we show up! Actually I don’t show up …. the crew shows up and they fix it!!! In the mix they fix… and eat a twix (yep I’m a rapper) Our guys are the best at what they do! The owner has years of experience and is actually a very cool boss man!!! ok wait I’m off subject… I like to talk….

So our name… “IRS” is on my work car, my business cards, my uniform…. just imagine hearing every day…..

“OMG Really? you work for the IRS” at which point I pause…. look at the person… and at that moment I decide how to answer…. Most times it YES, I work for Insurance Restoration Services we are an emergency responding company for water damage, fire damage and mold.. BUT every once in awhile I just say YES and pull out a small pad of paper and ask them their name…hehehehehe at which point they start to sweat and look around for a place to run off to.

I’ve been asked “Can you help me with my taxes?” “Can you forgive my tax problem” and my favorite is “Do you have to pay taxes if you work for the IRS?’ again I pause and size up the person before I answer…. hehehehehehe

Ok be honest, you see how much fun my job is now don’t you????!!!!!! I get to drive around town in the “IRS” hot rod… talking about Insurance Restoration Services which is also known as “Marketing” and daily mess with at least 1 persons head…. then I go home and go to bed (yep I rap)

I’m grateful I have never been shot at, never had eggs thrown at the “IRS” hot rod and best of all people remember me…. Us…. Insurance Restoration Services… and people love to get their pic taken with the “IRS” hot rod… they seriously do, more than a few!

Oh wait actually best of all I drive the smallest vehicle in our fleet…. imagine rolling in Vegas with a moving size truck with “IRS” on it, you can’t miss our guys!

People are grateful when we show up …. stop the water that is flowing everywhere, damaging their furniture, ruining their wood floors, and making their homes a soggy mess, oh YES….. We clean it up, just like a new pup….. and get them back to living …. Mold Free even where they pee (ok I went to far with that rap)…….

But I can!!!!!

Because I’m the fabulous, rapping, blogging account rep for the “IRS”…. no not that IRS…UGH keep up…. the water damage, fire damage, mold “IRS”…. see now you get it !

Henderson’s 24 hour restoration service company!

Whether it’s from leaky pipes, rain water, wind, fire, sewage back up, appliances leaking, or mold invasion- we’ve got you covered. We are truly open 24 hours a day, even Holidays! We understand that these kinds of emergencies happen all the time and at anytime, that’s why we’re always available for you!

Water Damage Restoration

Allowing the water damage, especially here in Henderson, to sit too long can be the difference between minor damage, to extensive damage. Many people think that because it’s very dry here, you don’t need to work as hard to remove all moisture and water- and that’s simply not true! It’s incredibly important to locate all the extra moisture, the stuff you can’t see with a naked eye, and remove otherwise this causes mold to produce and spread. Because of this it’s important to make sure all the moisture has been completely removed from carpets, wood, and other surfaces. We have the best equipment in the industry, to include thermal imaging, to make sure not one drop of water is missed. This is just another awesome way we go above and beyond for our customers!

Mold Damage Restoration

The best way to permanently remove mold is find the source of the extra moisture or water. Most molds in Henderson are caused by water that’s been leaking or missed- a simple fix but one that’s often missed if you just treat the mold and not the source! This could be a corner of a room that isn’t properly ventilated, a pipe leaking a tiny amount of water behind a wall, or simply some left over moisture from that rain storm a while back. Mold is relentless and merciless- so call Henderson’s top mold removal and mold damage repairs service- Insurance Restoration Services!

The Problem with Mold

While most mold doesn’t cause major health issues, it can cause upper respiratory issues that can then cause infections and more serious health related problems. Because of this it’s important to get a hold of that mold, the source causing it, and remove it completely. Call Insurance Restoration Services to assess the damage and test the mold. We will not only remove the mold, but find the cause of the mold and make sure that the problem is properly dealt with to avoid future mold contamination. If we’re worried about the type of mold we’re seeing, we will hire out a third party business to test the air quality of your home, and the mold!

Remember- mold ,especially in Henderson’s climate, is almost always caused by water damage of some sort- call us now to find that source and restore your home or business!

Fire Damage Restoration Process:

Fire damage restoration is a completely different process than water or mold damage- for a quick look at what we do please read our steps and call us for any other questions!

Step 1. Secure the Property

Just like water damage restoration, one of the first steps in the restoration process is securing the home or business. The difference with fire damage is that we need to work closely with the fire department before we can say it’s safe to enter the home.

Step 2. Emergency Cleaning

What we look for is soot and smoke residue on incredibly sensitive materials like artwork, pictures, linens, furniture- and remove the materials to our facility and treat them there with the utmost of care and precision.

Step 3. Source Removal/Cleaning

After the insurance adjuster has walked through the property with us and given us the OK to being work, we will start at the source of the fire and around it. This will help with the odor and the most damaged parts of the home.

Step 4. Removing contents

When there has been extensive fire damage Insurance Restoration Services has the facility to hold all your furniture and belongings, as well as clean and restore them there.

Step 5. Deodorization

Determining the source of the fire first, will help us know how to properly deodorize the contents and materials. Once we’ve done that, we will begin cleaning and deodorizing your home or business.

Step 6. Repair time

After cleaning up and deodorizing, it’s time to repair and restore the home so you can get back to normal life. We will work closely with your insurance adjuster to insure everything is covered and properly done!

Step 7. Time to move home

This day is better than Christmas Morning!! We often shed tears right alongside our customers- we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Moving into a new house can be incredibly exciting…and incredibly stressful.

While mentally arranging furniture and picking out paint colors is a blast, dealing with financial obligations, inspecting the house, packing, and unpacking can all be a headache. And what can really put a damper on a happy mood is discovering mold in a home you’ve fallen in love with.

Here are 5 surefire ways to help you spot signs of mold before signing the deed:

1. It Smells…odd.

If you’re not sure what mold smells like, you can perform a simple test by placing a wet washcloth in a plastic bag, leaving it unzipped, and then taking a whiff a few days later.

The washcloth will smell sour and stale – that’s mold. If you’re experiencing the same smell in your new home or apartment, there’s a good chance that’s mold, too.

2. You See Something That Could Be Mold

Mold doesn’t always look like mold, so if you’re searching for something green and fuzzy, you might not find what you’re looking for.

Instead, mold can often resemble soot or dirt, and may not look like anything out of the ordinary.

However, if you notice “dirt” in odd places, it could be mold. If so, you should take action to have it inspected immediately, as mold can proliferate quickly.

3. There are Water Leaks

Mold loves moisture, and if you’re moving into a house or apartment where there are known water leaks, there’s a good chance that mold has moved in, too.

Water leaks are one of the most obvious signs of mold, and can cause mold growth behind walls or within ceilings that you can’t visibly see. Before moving in, ask about any known or past water leaks.

4. There’s Been a Flood

If there’s been a flood in your home or apartment in the past, chances are mold has started to grow.

If you can’t see any visible signs of mold in living areas, head down to the basement (if you have one).

If there’s been a flood, the basement is the most likely place for mold growth to occur. If you notice the moldy smell mentioned above, ask for an inspection.

5. YOU Have Physical Symptoms

Mold exposure and overly damp environments have been linked to nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing and wheezing, respiratory tract symptoms, asthma and headaches, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If you notice any of the above symptoms while spending time in your new space, it may be a result of mold. You can also ask the previous owners if they experienced any of the symptoms of mold toxicity.
