ServiceMaster DSI - Springfield, IL

As National Preparedness Month continues, this week’s focus is on a storm hazard that might seem more of a minor annoyance at first but can potentially pack a serious punch: power outages.

A power loss can mean failed sump pumps, spoiled contents, or frozen pipes depending on the season, all of which can turn a short outage into a larger loss.

The graphic below outlines a few proactive steps homeowners can take to prepare for a power outage.

The fall equinox is here—are you ready for the season ahead? The shift to fall is an ideal time to focus on home preparedness. Here are a few seasonal prep tips.

ServiceMaster DSI was proud to participate in the Chatham Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing at Edgewood Golf Club in Auburn, IL. In addition to donating the lunch, our team grilled and served the meal to more than 180 golfers! It was a great opportunity to show support and connect with local business and community leaders. Representing ServiceMaster DSI were Kelsea Wilson, Elizabeth Brahler, Karson Cotter, Tom Hale, Rob Bowers, Phil Poludniak, Jeremy Grigg, Trevor Whitlow, and Mark Hutton. Kudos to our crew!

Mold doesn't take a season off. Earlier this week, we shared what to do right after water damage, but moisture finds its way in year-round.

From spring snowmelt to summer humidity to winter condensation, every season gives mold a new opening. The good news? A few simple habits each season can keep it from taking hold. Here's your year-round game plan.

Did you know mold can start growing within 24–48 hours after water damage? With all the storms this summer, that's a big deal for many homeowners.

The faster you dry things out, the better your chances of avoiding a much bigger — and costlier — problem down the road. Here are the first steps to take if water gets into your home.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the courage, unity, and resilience that followed.

It’s the second week of National Preparedness Month, and today we’re focusing on flood and water damage.

Flooding isn't just a coastal problem. Heavy rain can cause water damage anywhere, even if you've never thought of your home as "flood-prone."

Today we celebrate our crews, our partners, and everyone whose hard work keeps homes and businesses running. Happy Labor Day from all of us at ServiceMaster DSI.

Earlier this week, ServiceMaster DSI hosted a golf outing for insurance industry friends and partners at Aldeen Golf Club in Rockford, IL. Organized by Rob Bowers, Regional Director of Business Development, and his team, the event asked golfers to donate to the Northern Illinois Food Bank, which was on-site running a drive for personal hygiene products to help those in need. Our giving golfers delivered in spectacular fashion, generously donating items to help the charity. A big shout-out to Chris Easley of the Northern Illinois Food Bank, who was on hand to handle donations and spread the word about his worthy organization. Thank you for your efforts in giving back to the community, Rob!

Wishing you a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend! Should the unexpected happen, our crews are on call 24/7—ready to respond whenever you need us.
