Get Prompt Remediation of Mold Damage in Your Newark Residence

10/28/2021 (Permalink)

Undiscovered water damage can cause mold to grow in hidden places - like behind wallpaper.

SERVPRO is the Right Company to Hire for Mold Damage Remediation in Your Newark Home

Mold growth can occur because of hidden water damage. For example, the adhesive that joins your home's concrete slab to the floor might not have cured correctly because of dampness in the slab. Likewise, if the air has high humidity and your home's interior is covered with vinyl wallpaper, mold can develop on the back of the wallpaper.

Having the right solution for the mold damage in your Newark residence is essential. SERVPRO's mold specialists can assess the destruction to come up with the best treatment. We know that mold remediation happens after managing condensation properly. The dew point directly affects condensation. Therefore, our SERVPRO team analyzes the dew point to determine if it is higher than the surface temperature of cooler objects. If the dew point is higher, we can know that the moisture can condense on colder surfaces.

If we examine the dew point in your home and find out that it is high, we can determine why this is the case. Our team can fix the high dew point to reduce mold resurfacing after completing the cleanup work. Our SERVPRO professionals can take several steps to remediate mold. They include: 

• Containment – This involves sealing off the areas with the mold infestation to prevent it from getting into other areas of your home. We also shut off fans, heaters, and cooling systems in the house. 
• Air filtration – We can put HEPA filters into your residence's HVAC unit to remove active spores from your home, which helps prevent the spores from remaining in the house and transforming into fungi. 
• Clean-up – We can use antimicrobial substances to remove the existing mold colonies. 
• Removal and replacement of organic materials that mold has deeply infested. 

After the remediation process, cleaning curtains, furniture, and clothes may be necessary, among other items. If foul odors are present, Our SERVPRO technicians can use fogging equipment to deodorize your home.

Should you have a mold situation in your home, call SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont, at (510) 737-8793. We can remediate the mold so that your home is safe for inhabitation.

How Can a Puff-Back Get Cleaned in a Newark Home?

6/17/2021 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO team will eliminate every trace of smoke and fire damage from your home.

Newark Residents Trust SERVPRO with Their Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Services

When a puff-back happens in a Newark property, the smoke damage is unfortunate. Soot forcefully blows through every vent in the home and deposits on all surfaces, with an extensive cleanup needed. Foot traffic and pets can further spread the soot, meaning places in the house untouched by the initial disaster can wind up with heavy smoke odors and stains. 

While there is little structural fire damage restoration in Newark homes by SERVPRO for charring or damage from flames, the smoke damage cleanup is usually massive. The techs use different types of tools to handle smoke residues on various surfaces.

Common Puff-Back Smoke Damage Equipment

• Hand vacuums to remove smoke webs from ceilings
• Rubber sponges to pick up dry smoke off walls and porous surfaces
• Soot removal on washable fabrics in the Esporta Washing System

There is usually less controlled demolition required for puff-back cleanup compared to a house fire. In some cases, the sheetrock or carpet may be beyond recovery, particularly if a homeowner with good intentions attempted to clean the soot themselves using over-the-counter liquid cleaning agents. This SERVPRO location has a general contractor license #937457 and can offer Newark property owners repair and rebuilding services once the restoration ends. 

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont at (510) 737-8793 supports the Newark community with professional fire damage restoration services available 24/7.

What Mold Removal Method Can Work Best For The Ceiling At My Newark Home?

5/27/2021 (Permalink)

When mold becomes an issue in your home, you want the experts. Call SERVPRO for assistance with mold remediation services.

SERVPRO Pursues Techniques that Make Minimal Mess during Black Mold Damage Repairs in Newark

A minor pipe leak can make the ceiling void a perfect breeding ground for mold. Apart from taking time to discover the issue, another problem is that removal efforts are likely to leave a mess in the rooms below, thus necessitating additional cleaning or disposal of some items.

Finding the right approach for mold removal at your Newark home is essential since leaving it in place only worsens the situation. One viable solution is identifying how far the growth has spread and removing only the affected materials, and avoiding messing the rooms below.

Our SERVPRO crew chiefs help assess the damage. We can lift ceiling tiles or drill small holes if you have ceiling panels. Alternatively, we can scan moisture spread patterns since it encourages mold development. A tool such as a thermal camera allows such inspection without necessitating having to remove ceiling materials first. Covering items in affected rooms with plastic sheets helps eliminate the chances of soiling. 

Convenient mold removal is possible through different approaches. Mold is a type of fungi, a class of organisms known for digesting organic materials that they come into contact with for nutrients. Therefore, removal must eliminate all traces of the mold to prevent further growth. Our SERVPRO technicians combine different techniques. For instance, HEPA vacuuming helps remove loose fragments while wet wiping or wire brushing helps remove any materials adhering to surfaces when tackling:

• Mold remediation
• Black mold
• Attic mold

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont works to expedite mold removal. Call us at (510) 737-8793.

Muck-out cleaning and mitigation help restore flood damage in Fremont.

The initial actions taken after flood damage and storm losses can be critical in protecting the property's structural elements and contents. Our SERVPRO team understands the urgency of eliminating debris and solids left behind after water removal services.

What Other Mitigation Steps Benefit Flood Damage Restoration in Fremont?

When homeowners contend with flood damage in Fremont properties, the presence can be overwhelming. There is no mistaking how destructive natural flooding can be, often requiring as much work from our water restoration technicians as our general contractor license.

• Extraction

• Controlled demolition

Are Carpets Savable after a House Fire?

4/5/2021 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO after your fire damage, let us help get your Fremont home to better than before.

SERVPRO in Fremont Has a Tiered Approach to Deal with Carpets Damaged by Fire

Carpets can vary in fibers, density, and material. Any of these variables can affect the cleaning methods used by technicians to restore items after a house fire. SERVPRO has five individual cleaning methods for carpets that are targeted from light soot damage to extensive soiling. 

One impact of fire damage in your Fremont home is the release of hot soot and ash. Once the building cools, these particles can settle onto fabrics and become lodged into fibers. The techniques we use to clean these textiles can be grouped into two distinct categories. Maintenance cleaning is generally for light soils. Restorative cleaning uses more aggressive methods and equipment intending to return heavily damaged carpets to a preloss condition. 

• Maintenance cleaning involves bonnet cleaning using a rotary machine alongside pre-conditioning agents. 
• Hot water extraction is another method of maintenance cleaning that can help to remove light soils from carpets. 
• Rotary jet extractor is a piece of advanced equipment for heavily settled soot and soils that can return a carpet to its preloss condition under most circumstances.

Restore fittings to a pre-incident condition. Contact SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont for fire damage restoration at (510) 737-8793.

SERVPRO Tackles Mold in Your Newark Home

2. Document: Technicians need to document the property's conditions and their processes to remove the contamination. 
3. Control the Mold Contaminant Source: Technicians use negative air machines near the contaminant source to ensure mold spores do not become airborne. 
4. Remove Contamination: When mold growth above normal levels, the most effective way to rid the property of contamination is to remove the impacted building materials.

Should I Handle Small Water Damage for My Newark Home?

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont is ready to take on your property damage. Give us a call today!

SERVPRO Professionals Have Thorough Equipment to Dry the Water Damage You Cannot See.

Water damages are rarely only surface problems. Migrating moisture can penetrate porous structural elements, fixtures, and contents throughout your home as it moves to new areas. Stopping this spread and drying out the damage must get prioritized.

What might even seem like lesser water damage for Newark homes could hide some other conditions that you cannot see on the surface. Our SERVPRO team uses sophisticated moisture detection devices to identify the presence of damp pockets in construction materials and suspected moisture in structural cavities like the ceiling space or behind wall systems.

Are There Signs of Water Migration? 

• Structural Deterioration
• Drywall Swelling
• Soaked Carpeting
• Dripping Ceilings
• Mold Spotting

When you look to identify where water has moved to without the detection tools available to our SERVPRO team, you are often looking for one of these conditions. In some situations, these signs can develop days after you believe that the problem has gotten resolved. Professional drying ensures that all potentially affected areas of your home return to normal before our technicians leave.

How Do You Dry Where You Cannot Reach? 

A substantial obstacle our experts face on drying tasks is removing moisture without unnecessarily removing construction materials as well. In some situations, it is possible to preserve surface materials by drying out structural cavities. We can utilize specialty tools like positive and negative pressure systems to manipulate evaporation in these spaces instead of removing drywall to access it.

Choosing professional restoration after water damage is a decision that can give you peace of mind that worse conditions do not appear later. Our SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont team can help you through nearly every phase of mitigation and restoration with a full-service approach that even includes in-house residential contractors. Give us a call today at (510) 737-8793.

How SERVPRO Removes Water Damage in Fremont Homes

1/20/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont is ready for your call at (510) 737-8793.

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont can walk you through what steps need to be taken. 

Sometimes disasters occur because materials are incompatible with your home's structure. For example, drinking water that exceeds health guidelines can corrode copper pipes from the inside. A whopping 90% of pinhole leaks on horizontal copper plumbing can result from this.

If your Fremont residence has suffered water damage from a pipe leak, restoration technicians at SERVPRO are a phone call away from providing service that returns your home to a clean, safe condition. SERVPRO techs receive Institute of Inspection Cleanup and Restoration Certification (IICRC) accreditation to perform high-quality mitigation services according to a consistent set of standards. Not only do these guidelines provide a consistent rubric for cleanup, but they encourage environmentally-friendly solutions that remove odors, microbes, and water damage successfully.

IICRC-Accredited Training Measures

The IICRC's standards inform the cleanup and restoration protocols that all disaster mitigation professionals must follow, and SERVPRO technicians must learn these standards to be certified to restore homes. Along with SERVPRO crew training, technicians-to-be must learn about best practices in the following disciplines:

• Fire Restoration
• Water Restoration
• Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
• Mold Remediation
• And more

SERVPRO franchise owners also undergo training in these disciplines. New franchise owners also undergo a 15-day course at the SERVPRO Corporate Training Facility, so they are equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to oversee a franchise as well as assist homeowners recovering from a disaster.

SERVPRO's Drying Process

Drying a space affected by flooding means not only knowing how many air movers and dehumidifiers are needed to dry the space, but where to put them. Centrifugal air moving equipment is typically placed at 45-degree angles to walls every 10 to 16 linear feet. A 10' by 12' room, therefore, would normally need about four air movers. Temperature is essential to effective drying, and conditions between 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal. Cold air slows water evaporation while hot air minimizes the effectiveness of dehumidifiers, which emit warm, dry air after absorbing moist air from air movement equipment. 

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont has the tools and techniques you need to keep your home looking, "Like it never even happened." When disaster strikes in your home, you can call (510) 737-8793.
