Black Friday.

It's Black Friday, supposedly the day of the year when merchants finally go into the black because of high volume sales that start the holidays shopping.


Good deals on everything? I'm skeptical. In the race to beat out other stores it started from opening at 5 AM to 12AM  and now stores open early on Thanksgiving day or start their best discounts days or weeks before.


ServiceMaster of Salt Lake always gives you a value quality deal on our services-all year long.

Water Damage to Hardwood floors.

Cupping and crowning of hardwood flooring results from moisture content differences between the top and bottom of the board. Cupping will generally be the first indication of abnormal moisture levels as the bottom of the board absorbs moisture. The bottom of the board will then expand, bending the edges of the board upward and creating a cupped appearance. Cupping is not permanent damage, and should be dried in most cases. (RSA)


example of cupping.

First snow in valley........ too early.

First snow fell this morning, of course everything is too warm for any accumulation (yay) on the valley floor. The rest of week may bring more rain and/or snow by weekend. I hope the Weather guesser has it wrong and the weekend brings sun and 70's.


But if we do get cold and snow comes, make sure you have turned off your sprinklers (blown the lines) If you have a evaporative cooler-have you turned off the water feed, drained the line & the pan?


If you have a water loss due to the weather, give us a call. We have teams on call 27/7 for your emergency.
