Things You Want to Know
Fire and water damage can often result in some serious mold issues if not taken care of right away. Mold can quickly grow and spread, causing permanent property damage and even health problems.
The faster you take action, the better chance there is to resolve the issue and restore your property.
In the unfortunate event of mold damage, make sure to remember these few points to help keep your property from serious damage:
* Identify and eliminate the water source;* Completely dry the affected areas; * Keep the mold from spreading to non-contaminated areas; * Kill the mold using specialized equipment and cleaning products;* Remove the dead mold; and,* Protect the clean area against future mold infestations.
Prolonged exposure to mold can result in harmful physical side effects. It's important to rely on qualified mold remediation teams to treat any mold on your property.

Involved Around Town
 Last week, our own Renee River hit the lanes at the March of Dimes "Bowling for Babies" held in Tempe. This event is a fun time which helps raise awareness to support stronger, healthier babies. Renee joined Farmers Insurance agents Bill Claytor and Debbie Trotter, along with their spouses. Congratulations to Debbie who won a $50 gift certificate for bowling the highest game!
Recently, our Business Development Manager, Stacey delaFuente, spent some of her time helping out at the Homeless Youth Center Booth at the 6th Annual PebbleCreek Auto Fest at Goodyear Ballpark. The event shows off over 150 classic cars and trucks in an effort to money and awareness for the homeless.
Here she is with Kathy Roberts of American Family Insurance.
