Safe Generators, Fresh Air, And Dry Homes in Marietta
After a severe storm in Marietta, staying safe and protecting your home gets tougher if the power goes out. Backup generators, closed rooms, and hidden moisture can make things worse. At AdvantaClean of Marietta, we want to help you stay safe, prevent further damage, and manage cleanup until our team arrives.
Smart Generator Use To Protect Your Family
A portable generator can keep your lights and fridge working during a power outage, but it’s important to use it safely. Always set the generator outside, far from doors, windows, garages, and vents. Never use it indoors or on a porch. Use grounded outdoor extension cords rated for the load, and don’t overload your outlets.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. If anyone in your Marietta home feels dizzy, weak, or nauseous while a generator is running, shut it down and move outside immediately. Your safety is more important than saving any belongings.
Ventilation That Balances Fresh Air And Security
Storms can break windows, remove shingles, or leave debris around your home. While waiting for help, it’s important to keep the air moving to reduce odors, humidity, and fumes. If it’s safe, crack open windows in dry rooms on opposite sides of the house for gentle airflow. Cover and secure any damaged or open areas as best you can to keep out more water and unwanted entry.
Don’t use unvented fuel space heaters in small rooms. They add moisture and fumes, which can be dangerous. If you have to use one for a short time, keep a window open a bit and never leave it running alone.
Moisture Control Before Mold Takes Over
In Marietta, stormwater, roof leaks, or high humidity can start to damage drywall, floors, and your belongings within a day. While you wait for our team:
• Use towels to soak up standing water from small, safe areas gently.
• Move light items off wet floors if you can do it safely, without stepping in dangerous water.
• Do not rip out drywall, insulation, or flooring. Disturbing materials can spread contaminants and may affect insurance documentation.
The goal is to slow down damage, not undertake a complete cleanup. That is our job.
How Professional Equipment Makes The Difference
When we get there, we use special equipment to handle things you can’t see or fix safely yourself. One important tool is our commercial LGR dehumidifier, such as the Dri-Eaz LGR unit. It removes a lot of moisture from the air and building materials, helping your Marietta home dry out faster and lowering the risk of hidden mold behind walls or under floors. With air movers and HEPA filters, we create drying conditions that regular fans or small dehumidifiers can’t match.
