What is a Spider Box?

At SERVPRO of Palm Springs and SERVPRO of Indian Wells we can handle any size job.

In this picture we a shot of a power distributor or a spider box. A spider box used on a jobsite when the availible power source infrastructure is inadequate for meeting the scope of the project.

The spider box helps to balance the demand of the load.

If it is not used and a home is not equipped properly a vendor will experience gaps in the service. Since we are not onsite to monitor the job progress during the entire project, it is important to ensure that what is placed onsite performs up to expectations.

The spider box will keep circuts from breaking and machines from turning off. You want things to do what they are supposed to.

Fallen Tree

At SERVPRO of Palm Springs and SERVPRO of Indian Wells we are here to help with any size disaster.

In this photo we see a shot of a fallen tree that has affected the rear portion of the residence.

Fallen tree removal is requires a certain level of skill. If the tree is not approached properly secondary damage can occur.

Factors at play, Type of tree, age, health, manner in which it has fallen and adjacent affected structures.

During the process you have to pre-manage the outcome and support the process throughout the stages.

By this we mean that you need to break it down into pieces you can handle. Remeber that trees weigh quite a bit and that gravity is at play during the job.

Break-in Clean-up at a Bank

Security door does it job, Just like SERVPRO!

Recently we were called out to service a client after hours.

A local bank had experienced a Break-in, after gaining entrance through the ceiling, they attempted to enter the Teller's area seeking items to steal.

During the incident a security door was put to the test. Typically these areas are hardened with multiple layers of material designed to repel intrusion.

Luckily the door did its job and beyond the property damage sustained, no additonal issues were encountered. The suspects where unaware that the bank had secured its funds in its vault, as is common practice.

We conducted an inpection, cleaning and then rebuilt the damaged areas to pre-existing conditions.

SERVPRO, we assist with a variety of cleaning services and are availible to our clients 24/7/365.

For all your Commercial Cleaning needs!
