Holiday Travel Tips

Everyone knows leaving for the holidays can be stressful and demanding. We at Servpo of Henderson/Boulder City are in the business to help. So here is our list of must do’s to help make sure your holidays remain a happy one.

1. Turn off your water. A leak or even a broken supply line could happen at any moment. No better way to prevent coming home to a flood than shutting it off at the source.

2. Unplug electronics. The most common house fires are caused by faulty outlets or outdated appliances. Be sure to make sure you are using the correct amount of wattage light bulbs in your fixtures, as they are also a fire hazard.

3. Alert your neighbors of your travels. Take comfort in knowing someone is in close proximity in case disaster strikes

4. Don’t share your plans on social media. Even if you use the highest of privacy settings, things can easily be shared, and you have no idea who is looking. Same goes for posting photos while on a trip. Send a text or direct message and save the rest for when you get home.
