Some insulation keeps heat in. This insulation kept water in.

When fiberglass becomes saturated, it can slump, fall, and hold moisture beneath the home. From upstairs, the problem may seem minor. Below, the drying conditions can look very different.

This is a clear example of why water damage isn't judged from one room and one angle.

Fun fact: your skin does not have a dedicated sense for wetness.

Instead, your brain pieces together clues from temperature and touch to decide whether something feels wet. That's why clothing from the dryer can sometimes feel damp when it is really just cool—and why a cool surface may occasionally be mistaken for a wet one.

That same effect can make a cold spot worth investigating after a leak or water loss. As moisture evaporates, affected materials may feel cooler than the surfaces around them.

However, a cold spot is only a clue, not proof of moisture. Proper moisture-detection equipment is needed to determine what is actually happening within the material.

A cold spot may get your attention. A moisture meter helps provide the answer.

FAQ: How is restoration pricing calculated?

We use Xactimate®, the industry-standard estimating platform widely used by restoration companies and property insurance carriers.

Think of it as an independently researched, local price book. SERVPRO documents what work is needed and how much is required. Xactimate then provides localized pricing for the individual labor, material, equipment, cleaning, removal, and repair items included in the estimate.

That means we are not simply choosing an arbitrary price or presenting one unexplained total. The estimate is built line by line using the documented scope and a pricing system commonly used throughout the property-claims industry. Verisk reports that its estimating solutions are used by 80% of leading property insurance carriers.

Xactimate does not determine what work is necessary or what insurance will cover. SERVPRO professionals document the actual property conditions, while coverage decisions remain with the carrier.

The result is a clear, itemized estimate showing what is being priced and how the total was developed.

Fire damage is not always limited to what burned.

Soot and smoke residue can settle across ceilings, walls, furniture, and nearby rooms. As this video shows, even the cleaning method matters. Adding water too soon can smear soot instead of lifting it from the surface.

Proper fire cleanup starts with understanding what was affected and choosing the right process for each material.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of independence, community, and the place we call home.

As Greenville gathers for the Fourth, its also a good day to keep fire safety in mind. With hot, dry conditions in the area, small sparks can create bigger problems than expected.

Keep fireworks away from dry grass, homes, porches, vehicles, and trees. Have water nearby, follow local rules, and never leave used fireworks or grills unattended.

From all of us at SERVPRO of Greenville, have a safe and happy Independence Day.

Soot can be tricky.

What looks like a simple wipe-down may actually require a more careful cleanup approach. If handled incorrectly, soot can smear, stain, or spread to nearby surfaces.

A professional evaluation can help determine what was affected and what cleanup method makes the most sense.

Storm season can leave behind more than puddles.

After heavy rain or strong winds, it's worth taking a closer look around your home or business. Ceiling stains, damp flooring, musty odors, bubbling paint, soft spots, or water around windows and doors may be signs that moisture has reached areas you cannot easily see.

Fast action can help limit further damage and make the cleanup and restoration process smoother.
