The best way to deal with mold in your Seminole home--call SERVPRO

Mold Removal Also Includes Flooring

Dealing with mold in your home is a challenging task. It's not just about removing what you can see but also addressing the hidden colonization behind the scenes. Mold can grow on many surfaces, making it hard to eliminate. That's why we carefully approach mold cleanup, doing everything possible to avoid unnecessary tear-out and reconstruction. We aim to ensure your residence is safe for you and your family.

If you're dealing with mold damage in your Seminole home, you need the experts at SERVPRO®. Our skilled team is always ready to respond to emergencies, thoroughly evaluating your property and taking the necessary steps to secure your home and keep your family safe.

Is There Mold in Your Seminole Home?

There are several causes of mold development, including:

• Flooding
• High Humidity 
• Water Damage 
• Moisture in Sensitive Areas (Attic, Crawlspace, etc.)

Mold-Damaged Flooring

• Carpeting – Moisture in carpets can lead to mold and mildew, damaging fibers and padding. We remove those materials and replace them to preserve the subflooring.
• Hardwood Flooring – Both hardwood and vinyl plank flooring are prone to water and mold damage. Moisture that seeps through the seams can create damp pockets underneath the surface. If mold is present, SERVPRO remediators must remove affected units to clean the damaged areas properly.
• Glue-Down/Roll-Out – Linoleum roll-out flooring can still experience mold growth if moisture gets underneath. In these cases, removing the flooring, cleaning the mold, and installing new materials is best.

How Mold Damage Devours Seminole Home Surfaces

3/21/2023 (Permalink)

Bathrooms in Seminole are vulnerable to mold damage because they are usually warm and wet – conditions favorable for mold growth.

Seminole SERVPRO Mold Mitigation Provided by Knowledgeable, Trained Technicians

While tackling mold removal can often seem feasible enough for Seminole property owners, DIY solutions can expose occupants to spores. Moreover, dislodging spored without the proper safeguards can unintentionally spread them throughout the property and create additional damages.

Seminole SERVPRO mold mitigation professionals render cleanup and repair services around the clock. These technicians are trained to safely handle microbes and prevent them from spreading throughout the property during remediation.

How Mold Damages Home Structures and Contents

Mold seeps into and eats away at structural materials by exuding digestive enzymes that gradually break down these materials.

• Wood surfaces, including wall framing, can often be restored after mold exposure, but extensive microbe proliferation can cause staining.
• Finished ceramic tile and masonry are restorable and often unaffected by microbes. Grout, however, is much more porous and more likely to need replacement after microbial exposure.
• Drywall impacted by mold to the point that it is crumbling, bubbling, or sagging is more economical to replace than repair. However, controlled demolition of only unsalvageable areas minimizes replacement expenses.

SERVPRO technicians cannot guarantee total mold removal, but they can remediate microbe populations to pre-disaster levels that are safe and sanitary for residential spaces.

SERVPRO Mold Mitigation Processes Halt the Damage and Help Property Owners Save

SERVPRO’s responsiveness and training are crucial for ensuring that homes are restored to a pre-disaster state. Still, their commercial-grade tools and EPA-registered biocide solutions allow them to carry out necessary mitigation and restoration tasks. This team’s restoration loadout is designed to perform per Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards.

Some of the tools SERVPRO uses in a typical mold damage scenario may include:

• Penetrating and non-penetrating moisture sensors and meters and thermal imaging cameras can peer behind walls, floors, and ceilings.
• When used over open wall cavities, vents, and doorways, polyethylene sheeting and tape can prevent mold spores from migrating to other rooms or through ductwork.
• SERVPRO personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for mitigating mold without the accidental spread of spores. Equipment, including bodysuits, shoe coverings, respirators, and gloves, protects technicians during remediation and can be decontaminated in designated spaces for additional safety.
• Moisture extraction tools, including portable and truck-mounted units, remediate moisture than can exacerbate microbial growth. This process uses a combination of vacuuming, heating, and pumping systems to address the excess water on various surfaces. While most may only need the vacuum component, salvageable porous contents like drapes and upholstery may require the other two systems.
• Drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidification units, are carefully positioned to control relative humidity in the air and specific humidity on surfaces. Air movement pulls moisture off wet surfaces like flooring and drywall and pushes it toward the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier then passes this air over surfaces like refrigerant coils or silica gel to create condensation, isolated and collected for disposal.
• HEPA-filter vacuums and air scrubbers help control mold spore travel by lowering air pressure and collecting loose spores that fall to the ground. This process ensures safer and more thorough mitigation of mold populations.

SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches renders 24/7 mitigation and restoration services that return homes to a “Like it never even happened” state. Contact the team at (727) 391-6212 for emergency-response inspection and cleanup.

Our area is prone to mold growth. Our IICRC trained team knows how to remediate the damage in your home.

Leaving Mold Unattended Can Be Disastrous

Mold in your Seminole home may take time to be evident. Once you find it or suspect its existence, you may wonder if it’s something you can deal with later or if it requires immediate attention. The complications from mold in your home can be significant, so the sooner you act to control its spread, the better it is. Mold spores travel easily through ventilation systems and the home’s environment and can settle everywhere. Dark, moist places are a favorite for mold molecules, so pay close attention when inspecting your home.

Thankfully, mold remediation in Seminole homes is possible with SERVPRO’s help. Our team of experts inspects every corner of your home and seeks to manage the source of excess humidity as a first step. Once the culprit is under control, the team proceeds to implement industry best practices for mold removal and apply anti-mycotic solutions to prevent future growth. In our process, we employ monitoring tools, such as hygrometers and infrared moisture sensors, to help us detect high-risk areas and treat them appropriately.

Our SERVPRO staff works carefully to clean the air in the home with the help of air filtering technology, including HEPA filters, air vacuums, and ozone generators. Simultaneously, our IICRC trained teams will address any mold on walls with technology such as soda blasting. However, being vigilant is the most effective way to prevent a large mold infestation. Signs such as the following can be your first warning that mold lives in your house:

• An odd and musty smell in closets and basements
• A/C condensation and water leaks affecting air ducts, under cabinets, and under floors
• Changes in your walls, including unexplained shadows and discoloration
  

As soon as you spot a difference in your home that could be mold, call SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches at (727) 391-6212. Our expertise and equipment will leave your home “Like it never even happened.”

Surprising Causes Of North Redington Beach Mold Damage

6/20/2022 (Permalink)

Florida is a warm and damp area, the perfect environment for molds of many strains to multiply.

Causes Of Mold Damage

If your North Redington Beach home floods or your roof leaks, you might not be surprised that some areas of your property showed signs of mold growth. We are all familiar with the sight of mold on a forgotten bit of food or on a wet pile of firewood. When you believe you have taken care to avoid the conditions that cause mold infestation and it shows up regardless, you need advice from mold remediation professionals.

Florida is a warm and damp area, the perfect environment for molds of many strains to multiply. Knowing this, you take all the steps necessary to ensure the interior of your home remains as mold-free as possible, including installing a new air conditioning system. Nevertheless, you notice a musty smell and find some feathery growth and dark staining in areas of your home. We can remediate the moldy locations, but to reduce the possibility of the mold returning, we need to work with you to discover what is feeding the North Redington Beach microbial infestation.

Mold spores are present outdoors and indoors in every place on the planet. When they remain dry, they are inert, not growing or producing more spores. Moisture is what activates the spores, causing them to swell and multiply into groups called colonies. SERVPRO uses the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocol to contain and remove mold. Even if we treat the affected area with an antimicrobial like Concrobium, mold spores continue to await moisture to begin the cycle again. You know of no leaks or spills that explain where the water originates.

When IICRC trained SERVPRO technicians evaluate a mold outbreak in your home, we look for sources of moisture. One such source can be humidity levels of 60 percent or more. Would it surprise you to be informed that the problem might be that brand new central air conditioner? Air conditioners work in part because they pass moist, hot air over chilled coils. The water vapor in the air condenses, lessening the humidity within your home and making the air feel more comfortable. It takes time for this condensation to occur and the humidity level to drop to between 30 and 50 percent, the recommended window to avoid mold growth.

If you install an AC unit that is too large for your space, it cycles off before the condensation necessary to lower the humidity to the suggested level occurs. Essentially you have cool but moist air, which contains enough moisture to incubate a mold problem. SERVPRO technicians are familiar with this phenomenon through training and experience. We also carefully measure and monitor moisture levels, including air humidity, when we work on mold remediation. Our advice may be to have the AC system recalibrated or replaced with a model that maintains the humidity level needed.

The technicians at SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches are well-qualified to eliminate your current mold problem and suggest strategies to keep it from recurring. Contact us at (727) 391-6212 to evaluate your mold risk.

What Does SERVPRO Do to Protect North Redington Beach Homes During Fire Damage Restoration?

12/27/2021 (Permalink)

Fire and smoke damage restoration for your home is a job for SERVPRO. Our IICRC certified techs have the knowledge and experience for every phase.

SERVPRO Technicians Work to Restore and Keep the North Redington Beach Property Save During Fire Damage Cleanup

Post-fire North Redington Beach property needs house fire cleanup services as rapidly as feasible. However, some concerns must be answered, such as:

• Ensuring the first responders extinguished the fire completely
• The number of temporary repairs needed to stop additional damages from happening
• Whether or not the fire department has given the "all clear" to enter the property

Once the North Redington Beach home is deemed safe for fire damage restoration services to start, the technicians from SERVPRO begin the process. Safety for all and protection for the structure and contents are a priority during the job. Generally speaking, it is not a good idea for residents or pets to remain on-site during a house fire cleanup, even if only a portion of the house received the effects. Soot particles can cause health effects. To avoid this, SERVPRO techs wear head-to-toe protective gear. 

Protective Actions for Safety and Security

The technicians inspect the property to see where temporary repairs are needed. Additionally, if large amounts of water remain within the house, the techs will extract it and ensure the damage from the water gets addressed during the restoration service. Examples of proactive measures to protect the structure include tarping over roofing damaged by flames, boarding up broken windows, and putting up security tape around the residence. When the techs finish working at the end of the day, they board up windows and doors as needed and ensure they secure the property for the night to discourage unauthorized persons from entering the house.

North Redington Beach residents look to SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches at (727) 391-6212 when they need fire damage restoration services. The professional, certified technicians are available 24/7. 

What are the Benefits of Using a Seminole Professional Fire Restoration Company?

11/16/2021 (Permalink)

Smoke and soot damage are challenging to remove. SERVPRO's team is highly trained to remediate your any fire damage your home incurs.

SERVPRO has Trained and Certified Technicians to Take Care of All Phases of Seminole Fire Damage 

Seminole homeowners may be tempted to handle the post-fire cleanup in their properties using DIY methods. Unfortunately, this decision can cost money in secondary damages such as ruining surfaces and the spread of soot within the house. 

SERVPRO technicians have the experience and professional equipment to handle Seminole fire restoration services. When a homeowner hands off the job to the technicians, they will get frequent updates for each mitigation phase. The act of outsourcing can help alleviate the stress by:

• SERVPRO will communicate with the insurance carrier to determine what actions are covered, so there are no surprise out-of-pocket charges
• The technicians use professional equipment which has a direct bearing on the outcome of the cleanup
• Avoid exposure to potential health hazards such as airborne soot or structural materials

Removing smoke damage in a home goes a long way towards reducing the pungent odor left behind by the house fire. When items such as upholstery, plastic, and wood burn, they do not burn cleanly and deposit residues. SERVPRO technicians work safely, wear protective gear, and often put up a containment barrier around the work area to limit the spread of airborne particulates. 

An example of cleaning versus replacement might be a homeowner's favorite table that gets covered with soot during a fire. Upon inspection, SERVPRO technicians do not find signs of heat or water damage, and using their wood-specific cleaning solutions, they can lift away the smoke damage and clean the table without causing harm to the surface.

Seminole residents trust SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches at (727) 391-6212 for all types and sizes of fire restoration. Our trained and certified technicians are available 24/7 to make the damage "Like it never even happened."

When water damages your home, you want the experts at SERVPRO. Call right away after a water incident to avoid additional damages.

Controlled Demolition and Cleanup After Seminole Water Damage

Most of the restoration companies that you can come into contact with after a water damage incident can only help your Seminole property in specific ways. Many get limited to the experience of their technicians, molding their services to a limited window of potential actions to address saturation and dampness throughout your property. Our team, on the other hand, has years of experience in restoring water damage scenarios and can help you to manage many effects after a water damage incident quickly.  

A comprehensive solution for your household is our SERVPRO team, as we can address most restoration needs that you have following water damage in Seminole properties. Choosing experienced technicians and a fast response can ensure that work begins on your home promptly, which can help us save our customers time and money on the restoration project.  

Controlled Demolition  

We provide controlled demolition, which is one of the underappreciated tasks that our full-service team of professionals can accomplish upon arrival to the water damaged residence. Because elements like drywall can absorb substantial volumes of water, oversaturation can lead to bloating and deterioration of this construction material. Flood cuts provide a means of removing the worst of these damaged walls with our intricate demolition techniques. We establish a dryline, ensuring that we only remove the unsalvageable portions of sheetrock.  

Cleaning and Restoration

Cleanup after demolition and new construction is a vital element to getting your property back to pre-damage condition. We have multiple levels of cleaning technicians, each accredited in various areas, prepared to help with mitigation, restoration, and final touches to a completed project whenever necessary. We have technicians endorsed through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in:  

• CCT – Carpet Cleaning
• OCT – Odor Control
• UFT – Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning
• RCT – Rug Cleaning  

The better prepared our professionals are for every aspect of recovery and restoration after a water damage incident, the sooner that you can get back to life as usual.

Those wanting to partake in other outdoor activities away from the beach can also find what they are looking for within close reach. As an area somewhat removed from the urbanized settings of Tampa and St. Petersburg, Seminole boasts several parks and natural areas. They present residents with a wide array of natural habitats and have multi-use trails, boat launch points, fishing areas, playgrounds, and exercise stations, as well as cool shaded areas for them to use. A few nearby parks and gardens include:

• Boca Ciega Millennium Park
• John S. Taylor Park

Cultural Experiences Available Nearby

Not only do Seminole residents have easy access to a multitude of outdoor recreation options, but they are also in a region with countless cultural activities. These cultural opportunities, found across Pinellas County, range from arts center and museum visits to trips to parks with fully preserved pioneer homesteads. Specifically, our part of Florida is home to:

Morean Arts Center:  This nationally recognized center showcases modern and contemporary art, includes a children’s interactive center, and has a glass studio and workshop.

The Dali Museum: A museum with one of the largest collections of famed surrealist Salvador Dali’s artwork

The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg: Contains an extensive library and permanent exhibits memorializing the Holocaust with various artifacts.

Residents and visitors can enjoy a host of relaxing natural settings, various exciting outdoor recreations, and numerous culturally enriching activities. However, with all these attractions come increased risks. These risks are largely due to the area’s notorious storm season, and the water damage weather-impacted roofs and drainage systems can potentially cause.

How Can Seminole Property Owners Perform Fire Damage Restoration After a Fire?

10/31/2020 (Permalink)

Fire damage should not distort your daily activities.

Fire Damage Restoration is a Complicated Task that Requires a Certified Restorer Like SERVPRO in Seminole.

Nothing can prepare a homeowner for the outcome of a fire. Most of the time, property owners are left stranded about where to begin the restoration process. However, if you contact SERVPRO technicians in Seminole immediately after the unfortunate incident, we can prevent further damage and get your property to its former glory in a short period.

What are some of the items that I can clean myself?
We do not advise property owners to carry out any cleanup task after fire damage in a Seminole property. Without the required skills and proper equipment and products, it is possible you could cause more damage in an attempt to clean your damaged home and its contents.

However, you can help sort items by setting aside valuable items that are of high priority before our team of restorers arrives. Fragile items require immediate restoration. Separating the contents by priority can help our technicians save time and minimize damage.

Can I inspect my property after a fire?
If the property is severely damaged, we strongly advise property owners to avoid getting into the affected area. Apart from the concerns of smoke inhalation, fire can weaken the property's stability. Due to lack of proper training, you may contribute the spread of smoke and soot residues in unaffected areas.

SERVPRO professionals have decades of experience and the right equipment to conduct a thorough inspection. We begin with testing the affected surfaces to determine:
    •    If the damages existed before the fire.
    •    The location of smoke residues
    •    If we can clean the residues

The inspection helps us determine the best cleaning action to use. The cleaning process involves breaking the bond between the soils and the surface they adhere to. We use different cleaning actions to loosen the residues depending on the surface. The actions include:
    •    Suspension and dispersion
    •    Mechanical action
    •    Lubrication
    •    Chemical action

How do you clean affected wooden floors?
If the damage on your wooden floor is intense, we may recommend replacement. However, if heavy smoke residues cover your wooden floor, we can use roto pads and brushes to agitate the surface. The roto's drive block can accommodate various types of pads. That helps us pick the most effective pad for the damage. With this equipment, we can agitate, buff, and polish your wooden floor. If the damage only caused yellowing on your wooden floor, we can use a white towel to apply a wood crème paste on the surface.

Fire damage should not distort your daily activities. Contact SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches at (727) 391-6212 for effective restoration. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!

Is Water Damage Cleanup a DIY Job?

Are you living with water damage in your living room? Call SERVPRO. We are available 24/7 to restore your home.

Many Seminole Homeowners Want to Take the Future of Their Properties into Their Own Hands with Cleaning and Restoration After a Water Loss Incident, but This is Very Rarely Advisable 

Cleaning up after a water damage event can be a challenge for Seminole property owners, especially without a credible understanding of the situation's severity. It is often believed that surface water is the extent of any threat to the property, but this is not typically where the damage ends.   

There are many stages of water mitigation for Seminole homes, and unsurprisingly, many homeowners believe that they can resolve these situations on their own. A varied level of action is necessary to manage immediate damaging concerns, not to mention the full restoration, cleaning, and repair of your property after these disasters occur. There are several advantages to choosing SERVPRO for our comprehensive restoration solutions. Some of these benefits include: 

• Fast Response 
• Experienced Technicians 
• Industry-Leading Inventory of Recovery Tools 
• Extensive Roster of Professionals for Jobs of All Sizes
• Experience Working with Area Insurance Providers  

Can SERVPRO Provide Repairs?  

Repairs are among the first steps needed in a home after a water loss incident. Many homeowners might not realize the extent of construction expertise required to address current conditions and prevent worsening circumstances. Our SERVPRO team has a full team of experienced and knowledgeable general contractors to offer a variety of efficient services, including:  

• Plumbing – When your house's plumbing network plays a role in the water damage, repairs to this utility are necessary. Our experienced contractors can access the breach and reinstall new connectors, portions of pipe, or fittings.  

• Structural Damage – Assessing the structure's damage is one of the first steps in managing loss incidents. When structural breaches leave the home vulnerable to additional losses, we can rely on board up and tarping to help.  

• Controlled Demolition – With the initial actions of highly-trained general contractors, controlled demolition can often be instrumental in providing the appropriate access for drying and recovery. These efforts also reduce phenomena like moisture-wicking that can damage a greater area of sensitive materials.  

What Are the Potential Concerns with Standing Water?  

Standing water in Seminole is a situation that presents multiple threats to the property, your personal belongings, and the occupants of the house. As insurmountable as this can feel, the right tools can make a difference in the efficient removal of any pooling. Unaddressed, absorption and saturation become overwhelming concerns for all exposed porous materials like engineered wood flooring, carpeting, drywall, and other similar compositions. Some of the efficient removal tools to overcome these concerns include:  

• Submersible Pumps – Electric and gas-powered submersible pumps are ideal for standing water several inches in depth or more. With continuous, quiet operation, electric pumps are the standard for clean water incidents. 

• Wet Vacuums – The versatility of wet vacuums makes them an everyday staple for water removal in homes. These are highly portable and can get used with various attachments to make them even more useful. 

• Carpet Wands – As one of the attachments usable with specific pumps or wet vacuums in our water removal inventory, carpet wands are ideal for removing water from the carpet layer when the padding is removed. 

How Can Moisture Pockets Get Identified?  

Understanding where water has moved into the house is vital to addressing any of these concerns to prevent worsening conditions. Prolonged exposure can create mold threats or allow for the destruction of building materials used in your house's construction. Finding moisture beyond the surface often falls to our advanced technologies and detection devices, ranging from moisture meters and hygrometers to probing meters and thermal imagery. These options can help identify when focused drying efforts are necessary to evaporate trapped water in wall cavities and other sensitive materials.  

Is Mold a Common Concern?  

Mold is a condition that could develop quickly without the appropriate cleaning and water removal. Because of inadequate drying practices common to homeowner DIY restoration approaches, dampness and moisture become catalysts to microbial colonies' development. Fungal organisms feed on organic matter like drywall and wood standard in residences, and deterioration and degradation of these structural elements is a considerable threat.  

Mitigation is one of the most critical efforts that professional restoration technicians like our SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches team can offer customers. These initial actions taken at the onset of water damage in your home can do more to prevent widespread irreparable harm to structural elements and secondary effects like mold and microbial growth.

Hidden Seminole Water Damage in Wall Voids Is Uncovered and Treated by SERVPRO

1/30/2020 (Permalink)

Water in the Walls in Seminole? Yes, It Is Possible to Have Foul Odors--SERVPRO Offers Advanced Equipment to Help

Why SERVPRO Inspects Your Walls’ Interior Cavities when Called for Water Damage Services in Seminole

After a pipe breaks in an upstairs bathroom in your Seminole house, water steadily gushes out, soaking everything. The amount of force pushing this water out of the pipe depends on the diameter of the pipe and can be strong enough to force water inside the walls. Even when upper-level walls avoid getting soaked, a large amount can still end up inside the walls downstairs. Gravity is not your friend.

Electrical components throughout the walls in your home in Seminole can sustain water damage, which is one reason why SERVPRO checks inside walls and other enclosed spaces. We use infrared technology for this, as well as other diagnostic equipment. Our teams are trained in the latest techniques, from mitigation and restoration, scoping issues, prevention, and rebuilding. Locating hot spots that might otherwise remain undetected – at least until more serious, visible problems become obvious – mitigate the water damage and can help prevent mold infestations.

While our building crew can rewire sections or your entire home if needed, keeping this to a minimum can play a significant role in controlling your overall costs. Mitigating as early as possible also helps considerably. When we can dry out an enclosed space, we eliminate the humidity that can corrode electrical components and render them dangerous. Preventing a fire from corroded, faulty wiring and outlets protects your family from serious risk.

The inside of the walls also gives microbes a perfect environment. Such spaces contain abundant cellulose for microbes like mold to consume, an absence of air currents, a shield from solar rays, and trapped water as a source conducive for proliferation. Using an Injecti-dry system, we force air into such places, forcing the area to dry. We can also spray in an antimicrobial agent to protect the wooden frame, as well.

Water damage is also known to strike a condo with pungent, musty odors. Our Odor Control Technician (OCT) can place long-lasting gel packs in walls to combat odors coming from specific areas. For larger areas or mystery odors, our OCT uses Ultra Low Volume (ULV) fogging to get rid of odors, wherever their sources exist. Hydroxyl generators and ozone machines are advanced machines for controlling and eliminating unwanted scents.

SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches helps homeowners near North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, and Madeira Beach with water damage by mitigating the many ways it can affect and damage a house or condo. Call our 24-hour service line at (727) 391-6212 for a rapid response.

Bathtub Causes Water Damage in a Seminole Garage

1/29/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO professionals are trained to handle all types of water damage.

Why SERVPRO For Water Damage In Seminole

Something as simple as running a bath can go so wrong and cause water damage. The problem comes when the person running the bath gets distracted and forgets the water is running. 

A bathtub caused water damage in a Seminole home when it overflowed and soaked not only the floor in a second-floor bathroom, and the water ran down into the garage below. The water caused extensive staining on the ceiling and walls.

Why SERVPRO?

The technicians undergo rigorous training that involves learning the best practices for handling not only water loss events but also fire, biohazard, mold and secondary issues such as foul odor removal. They learn to attempt to restore items and save property owners the cost of replacement whenever possible. 

Controlled Demolition Necessary

After extracting the water, the techs found moisture breached the subfloor in the bathroom, and the sheetrock on the ceiling and wall in the garage below required removed. The techs cleanly cut it away, so it opened up the wall cavity and floor joists for drying as well as preps the area for repairs to restore the area to its preloss condition.

Drying Above and Below

When working on multiple floors, it is vital to dry both so other problems do not set up in the home. The techs use specialized drying applications such as drying mats on the subfloor above to force air into the floor joists. Downstairs in the garage, the air movers blast warm, dry air into the opened wall cavities to ensure the beams and interior attains drying goals. 

Prepping for Reconstruction

The bathroom floor needed new tile installed, and techs cleaned and readied the room for installation. Downstairs in the garage, they cleaned and treated the support beams with antimicrobial cleaners to inhibit any odors or mold growth. The techs provided the homeowner with a detailed report for actions taken, including photos and also recommendations for the necessary repairs to restore the property to its pre-water loss condition.

Complications Due to Water Damage Migration Are Why SERVPRO Offers Innovative Solutions

11/10/2019 (Permalink)

Water damage in your Seminole home can cause large complications. Let SERVPRO fix the issues.

Let SERVPRO handle your Seminole water damage.

When your Seminole home experiences a plumbing leak, sink overflow, or appliance malfunction, the floors in your home can suffer. Responders must understand the principles of water migration or significant water damage can go unaddressed. Reliable assessment of all aspects of a water loss is why our team can deliver successful results. We ready our technicians with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) training in the industry’s best practices and invest in state of the art equipment.

Water Damaged Hardwood Floors Need Special Strategies 

Protect your hardwood floors from permanent water damage in your Seminole home. Our crews are familiar with the challenges posed by water migration, why we spend time using thermal imaging and various types of moisture probes to detect where water percolated after spreading across the floor. Failing to follow the flow exposes your home to progressive deterioration and secondary damage, such as mold growth.

Soaked Subfloors Require Attention

Water is always on the move after a leak, dripping through joints and seeping through crevices in hardwood floors. You might believe the problems disappear with the draining of puddles, but the water is still there, soaked into subfloor and joists. The moisture wicks up into planks or strips of hardwood, causing them to swell on the edges (cupping) or in the center (crowning) of each separate piece of wood. Proven techniques learned during IICRC courses and implemented on our previous jobs are why SERVPRO is confident of our recommended mitigation and remediation plans.

Water Removal and Drying Innovations that Span the Layers

Hardwood floor configurations need remediation strategies that pull moisture from all layers. Negative and positive pressure systems work well to suction fluids and then force warmed into all affected building materials and cavities. The effectiveness of these approaches is why SERVPRO invests in floor mat and baseboard hose-linked Injectidry systems that first use powerful negative air pressure (suction) to remove water. Once all fluids evacuate the layers, we switch to heated air movers and dehumidifiers that speed evaporation and then collect the water vapor for disposal.

Continuing education and inventories of up to date water removal and drying equipment are why SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches can fulfill our promise to make water loss “Like it never even happened.” Have confidence in our preparation and call (727) 391-6212 for a water damage consultation.

When a Seminole homeowner with water damage contacts us, our emergency response team arrives quickly. Because the less exposure the home has to water, the better the chances are for restoring more possessions. 

Scoping the moisture within the property and swiftly extracting the water is crucial. We have diverse kinds of detection equipment for different areas of the home. While a probe may be fine for one type of scoping, thermal imaging lets the technicians "see" behind walls and within the flooring to determine if excess moisture has migrated inside and requires removal.  

We have access to state-of-the-art water removal equipment for any size water cleanup. Some of our most commonly used are:

Submersible pumps that we use when water is over two inches deep

Gas-powered pump equipment for situations when there is no electricity at the damage site 

Truck-mounted units pump thousands of gallons of water in fast removal of large quantities needs to occur fast

Portable extraction equipment allows technicians to move quickly through a loss site and use attachments for specialty water removal tasks such as upholstery and carpet

Rover units are ride-on equipment that demands little floor space and is convenient for other techs to work around while it removes water

SERVPRO technicians train in the science of psychrometry or the manipulation of relative humidity and ambient temperature. After extraction, drying also uses tenants of this discipline. For example, the high velocity from our air movers causes embedded moisture to rise where elimination occurs through our dehumidification setup. 

Once dry, our team members concentrate on hand-cleaning and disinfection of the water loss surface areas to ensure they are clean and fresh for the homeowners. If a pack-out was necessary during water damage mitigation, it is at this time our technicians move-in the items and put them back in their exact places.

Storm damage in Seminole properties comes from intense storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and flash floods. When any of these situations occur, our team answers the call for restoration services usually within an hour. It is crucial to begin water extraction efforts as fast as possible to limit further damage to the home. 

Even as quickly as we arrive on-site, often the standing water is not present as it has migrated into other areas of the home. We immediately scope the house with our moisture detection equipment and begin water removal so we can move on to the drying phase quickly.

We attempt to limit disruption of the home during mitigation of water damage from storms. However, when groundwater affects carpeting, it is not restorable and requires removal as does buckled sheetrock as restoration is not possible. SERVPRO technicians examine possessions in the water loss affected area item by item to determine the restorability factor through our proprietary cleaning methods. 

Flood damage leaves behind pungent water odors that applications of ordinary household fresheners do not diminish. Foul odors are the result in some cases of bacteria, and our professional-grade antibacterial and antimicrobial cleaners take care of that issue. When scents in the home require more robust applications, we often look to air scrubbers for airborne particles and ultra-low-volume foggers that deliver a wet fog to eradicate odors.

The need for mold remediation in Seminole properties happens due to different scenarios. When water from extinguishing a fire or water damage is not adequately cleaned up, the excessive moisture sets up a perfect breeding ground for mold growth. Other factors such as poor ventilation in an attic or drainage issues in a crawlspace contribute to raised ambient humidity, and mold spores have the potential to germinate. Once established, mold colonies spread quickly and infest the property. 

Containment is a critical element in the cleanup of mold damage. This action stops spores from becoming airborne and spreading during remediation efforts. We dry the colony and lower the humidity in the mold-affected areas to the point it can no longer support the existence of the mold colonies. Once dry, we carefully remove the mold debris using gentle abatement techniques. SERVPRO technicians then disinfect and treat the areas with an antimicrobial sealer to prevent the germination of spores in the future. 

SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches stands ready to assist property owners with restoration services. Our certified technicians handle fire, water, storm, or mold damage with the latest equipment and techniques. We are available 24-hours at (727) 391-6212 to make the loss in your home or commercial property "Like it never even happened."

Mold Damage Remediation Services in Seminole

3/21/2019 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO, we say no to mold and we say yes to mold remediation.

Do you know about SERVPRO's Residential Mold Remediation Services in Seminole?

Mold plays a major role in nature by breaking down organic matter, which in turn replenishes essential nutrients in the soil. When it occurs in the house, however, it should always be removed. Mold colonies quickly develop in the form of microscopic spores, which then spread across the building through your HVAC system. 

If you suspect the presence of mold in your Seminole home, you need to call a professional mold remediation company as soon as possible. At SERVPRO, we have advanced tools and products for mold damage restoration, as well as competent technicians that can easily handle your emergency in Seminole. We're Faster to Any Size Disaster, and our goal is to return your property to preloss conditions swiftly and efficiently. 

Mold colonies in your home can create health and environmental issues. Mold growth commonly occurs in the ductwork of your HVAC system, as the evaporator coil of an air conditioner is usually wet and dirty. Poorly-installed insulation and plumbing leaks are also common causes of mold growth inside exterior walls and underneath floors. 

Before mold damage takes effect, mold colonies release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and mold spores into the air. These spores can lead to various health effects. SERVPRO technicians begin every mold remediation process with an assessment of the extent of the mold damage. We then isolate the contaminated areas by covering furniture, openings, and doorways with plastic sheeting. 

To identify the source of the mold damage, SERVPRO technicians use advanced moisture meters to locate any excess moisture/condensation in or behind the walls. We also have a wide range of air management and odor control systems that not only get rid of the bad smell but also remove the source by eliminating the bacteria causing the problem.

Locally Owned Company with National Resources

If mold growth has taken over your home, you need to act fast to prevent extensive mold damage. As a locally-based mold damage remediation company, SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches can arrive quickly to restore your property. We are available 24/7, every day of the year. Call us today at (727) 391-6212.

Water Damage and an Overflowing Sink in Your Madeira Beach Home

3/21/2019 (Permalink)

Water damage happens fast and always at the least convenient times. Contact SERVPRO for a quick response when your clogged sink overflows.

Our Technicians Are Trained to Use Efficacious Techniques

A quickly overflowing sink can create more than just a wet mess in your Madeira Beach home. If it gets out of hand, it can result in flooding indoors and severe water damage to your property. It can also create health hazards since sink water is unsanitary and can be a catalyst for fungal and bacterial growth. The best defense is to prevent it from happening in the first place. 
 
Keep in mind that most sink overflows happen due to the drain being clogged. If you can keep the drains clear in your home, you can prevent this problem and Madeira Beach water damage. If, however, you still experience a sink overflow, contact our staff at SERVPRO right away so we can help you to fix the problem and clean up the damage. 
 
To dry a structure, we must remove the moisture from the air. An open drying method trades the moist air inside your home for air from outside that is drier. We open windows and use fans or air movers to exchange air to ventilate the area which is affected. 
 
For the most efficient conditions for drying, air outside should have a higher temperature and low relative humidity. We take measurements to figure out the specific humidity for both outside and inside air. 
 
A drying system which is closed encloses the area off from the air outside and from anywhere that is not affected by the water damage. We use equipment for dehumidification to dehumidify the air inside. In order for this method to work, we have to control the environment indoors using dehumidifiers and air movers. It is easier for smaller areas, so we create a chamber for drying by closing windows and doors or hanging a plastic sheet around the area. Air conditioning can be used as well to help dehumidify, and by setting up a  chamber for drying, we can dry what needs to be dried more thoroughly and quickly. 
 
SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches are the ones to call at (727) 391-6212 during a water damage emergency. We have the tools and knowledge to properly dry your home out again for anyone living in the locations of Madeira Beach, Redington Shores, or Seminole.

Preventing A Dryer Fire In Your Redington Beach Home

3/21/2019 (Permalink)

Not many people realize how dangerous clothes dryers can be.

Preventing A Dryer Fire

Not many people realize how dangerous clothes dryers can be. However, each year, there are thousands of fires caused by dryers, plus several hundred individuals who are subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning from dryer vent setups which were not set up properly. Sometimes, a faulty appliance is to blame, but many times, fires can be prevented when dryers are vented properly.

Accumulation of lint and reduced airflow together give the perfect conditions for creating a fire and fire damage in your Redington Beach home. Most dryers include lint traps or filters made to capture the lint. However, these filters do not capture all the lint, and the assumption is that regularly emptying them is enough to protect the dryer. Half of all dryer fires can be accounted for by this since they start within lint traps. When you have been unfortunate enough to experience a dryer fire, SERVPRO is the one you want to contact for help. We are a highly professional and experienced fire damage remediation company, and we take care to get your home back in order.

Proper maintenance can help you avoid these fires. Cleaning and emptying the lint from the exhaust pipe and the rear of the dryer after each use is the first step. Once you clean the lint filter, you should check for rips or tears and replace a damaged lint trap right away. Do not ever put any synthetic substances like foams, plastics, rubber, or any cloth which has been used to clean any potentially combustible or flammable liquids in the dryer, even if you have thoroughly washed them.

The exhaust pipe on your dryer should be short as is allowable based on the dryer’s location in your home. Keep it as straight as possible and limit any bends to allow for an airflow that is unrestricted. It is recommended to use a spiral-wound, aluminum, or steel duct aluminum flex hose, and not white vinyl hose.

If your dryer is powered by gas instead of electric, get it inspected routinely by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact. Keep any combustible objects away from the dryer. Things like paper, boxes, chemicals or anything else which would be an accelerant needs to be kept away. Of course, do not ever run the dryer when you are not at home.

When SERVPRO is called to repair fire damage, we work quickly and efficiently. Smoke and soot, plus water left behind from firefighting efforts, are still creating problems for your home. We take care of everything to prevent additional damage.

SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches is always professional and courteous when we come to your home. Contact us right away at (727) 391-6212 once your fire is out so we can clean and repair your home properly.

Flood Damage Restoration in North Reddington Beach Done Right

1/24/2019 (Permalink)

Flooding is a fact of life after a storm when living in Florida. Call our certified SERVPRO team for an assessment and water removal.

Why SERVPRO Uses Air Movers and Desiccant Machines in Flood Damaged Homes in North Redington Beach

Flooding events, mudslides, hurricanes, and other terrible weather events can strike in North Redington Beach at any time. There are many things you can do to prepare and minimize the impact, but once the weather clears, residents still have to face the destruction and begin to clean up and rebuild.
 
When we perform flood damage mitigation in North Redington Beach, many customers ask why we SERVPRO specialists use both air movers and desiccant machines. Some people wonder if these two machines might work against each other instead of increasing the other's productivity.
 
We can assure you that these two machines, as well as all of our other devices and tools, work together in a way that makes the entire mitigation process faster, more efficient, and also increasingly thorough. Other pieces of equipment guard our technicians from injuries, and others protect your home from cross-contamination.
 
With flood damage, more than your home's structure and the contents inside get soaked. The air also ends up saturated with water vapor. Our air movers and desiccant machines both work to get your home dried out entirely. We place our air movers facing the direction that gives us the most efficient 'push' to get air either to pass through a desiccant machine, air scrubber, or to the outdoors.
 
Our desiccant machines need to continually pull water vapor from the air, strip it dry, and send dry air out. This can continue for a while because saturated materials slowly give off only the moisture that the exterior of the material contains. Water held in the deeper portions slowly moves toward drier areas, which are the ones most recently dried by the whisking away of moisture on the surface. Desiccant machines remain running until no remaining humidity exists.
 
We test the amount of moisture in your walls, floors, and the air. We also examine different items in your furnishings. We can show you the progress made, as we keep records of each tested item's moisture content, from start to finish. SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches is always ready with our equipment and skilled IICRC-certified technicians when your home sustains flood damage. Call us at (727) 391-6212.

How Storm Water Can Cause Structural Damage Your Redington Beach Property

1/3/2019 (Permalink)

Heavy downpours bring water and sometimes that water enters your property. Call SERVPRO to remove the water and restore your home.

Flood Removal Technicians In Redington Talk About Possible Structural Issues

The Redington area is known to be a place that can get its fair share of severe rainstorms. When heavy rains pour down, it can create a situation where you need flood removal completed by a professional restoration company like SERVPRO. When water starts to build up in your neighborhood, it can get deep and eventually find its way into your home. Water can up from the ground and negatively affect your flooring materials as well as moisture coming in from worn lower door seals. Any time something inside your dwelling gets wet, professional flood removal becomes a necessity.  

As time goes on, problems with the building materials and contents inside your house can get much worse if not treated promptly. Our SERVPRO crew provides fast 24/7 service to help you with flood removal in Redington. Our technicians are located within proximity so that they can arrive at your residence quickly. As soon as we arrive, we begin assessing the situation before we get work authorization from you. Once we realize what is involved with the project, we start mitigating issues that came about after the rainstorm.  

To comprise the initial scope of the project, our SERVPRO technicians use advanced technology to determine the severity water damage. We use moisture sensors and meters to gauge which of your contents and building materials received damage and the extent of the damage. We then determine which items are salvageable with extraction and drying and which saturated items need discarding.  

In some severe situations, our highly trained team comes to the realization that specific structural components must be removed and replaced. When this occurs, we remove certain items so that we can dry out materials that we can save. After ruined items get discarded and the structure gets dried out, we then rebuild your structural materials or refer the reconstruction to a certified subcontractor. If you ever notice that any of your building materials got wet after a thunderstorm, call SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches at (727) 391-6212 right after the problem occurs.
