Commercial Water Damage Remediation in Your Business

7/25/2022 (Permalink)

Some of the Regular Water Damages SERVPRO Sees in Hotels

Water damage can happen anywhere in a hotel, but some areas and types of damage happen far more often than others. When problems go beyond simple cleanup and sanitation matters, your cleaning personnel or company may be ill-equipped to handle the consequences of significant water damage. Professionals in the restoration industry are specialized in fast and complete hotel services, ensuring rooms stay clean, undamaged, and pleasant-smelling after the incident. If these common problems happen in your building, call a highly-esteemed restoration company or use our Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) system to get a crew of technicians to your location.

Overflowing Sinks and Bathtubs

One of the reasons SERVPRO might be called into hotels is when a guest causes a sink or bathtub to overflow. Guests remain in their rooms for various lengths of stay, so it may not be uncommon to only find out about the matter days later or when water starts to leak elsewhere and cause further damages. SERVPRO inspectors create a detailed assessment of the situation to understand what specific problems might come from these scenarios and estimate our work times and costs.

Water Line Leaks and Breaks

With so many water lines running throughout the building, it may not be uncommon for them to leak or burst, especially when they are ancient. Be sure to call us as soon as you suspect that a water line may have been ruptured, as the speed of our response may be critical to prevent as much damage as possible. To avoid most water line problems in your hotel, make sure that pipes receive semi-regular maintenance and checkups.

Left-Open Windows

Any time a guest can open a window, the potential for damage rises. Currently, there are laws about which levels can have fully-open windows in certain facilities, but regardless, if the window opens even a tiny bit, moisture can enter the facility. If guests can open a window in your hotel rooms, they may forget to close it before a storm rolls through the area. Water entering through the open window can cause significant damage to the carpet and upholstery.

SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville can handle both small, isolated incidents and large-scale disasters throughout an entire building. For the best outcomes, call quickly after an incident at (901) 382-0900.

What Is An IICRC Certification? Why Does It Matter?

The IICRC is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification, a non-profit organization for the Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Industries. 

When considering who to call for water damage, do you go with the company your insurance company recommends? How about your neighbor’s recommendation? In the internet age of information-overload and bias, how can you know what’s right? Who really does the best job? Who does the most work for the money? Who handles a water loss job from start to finish? SERVPRO is proud to be your one-stop-shop for disaster relief after a fire, flood, or storm—but don’t take our word for it—let us show you.

Your local SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville is proudly an IICRC accredited firm.

What is an IICRC Certification?

IICRC Certified Firms have earned the right to display the IICRC logo as a symbol of quality. In order to achieve IICRC-certified status, firms must meet a rigorous list of standards in business ethics and expertise.

All IICRC Certified Firms must:  

• Present accurate information to consumers and conduct business with honesty and integrity.
• Require a technician on all jobs who has been formally trained and passed all required tests.  
• Require a continuing education program to keep technicians up-to-date on the latest changes in the industry. 
• Maintain liability insurance to protect all parties in the event of an accident.
• Maintain a written complaint policy and agree to Better Business Bureau or similar arbitration to resolve disputes, and accept the conclusions and recommendations of arbitration.  

When it comes to cleaning, restoration and inspection, the IICRC writes the books. As an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Standards Developing Organization (SDO), the IICRC has paved the way in establishing the main industry standards and reference guides for professional carpet cleaning, upholstery and fabric cleaning, water damage restoration and mold remediation.  

Each IICRC standard takes years to develop and the coordination of several experts in the field, including:

1. allied trades persons
2. manufacturers
3. international, national and regional trade associations
4. individual or franchise professionals
5. cleaning, inspection and restoration industry organizations
6. insurance industry
7. training schools
8. contractors and public health professionals

These standards are reviewed and updated at least every five years. Many of these fields, such as the water damage restoration field, change rapidly and those who are certified keep up with the advancement of the science and generally accepted practices of the industry.

We don’t take this stamp of approval lightly—we uphold it. If your home or business suffered water, storm, or fire damage, call us for 24 hours emergency service or for a free estimate.

Does My Carpet Need to Be Replaced? Professional Water Extraction and Cleaning

4/17/2022 (Permalink)

Professional Water Extraction and Cleaning

If a pipe breaks, a tub overflows, or dishwasher leaks water can spread quickly throughout your home. Moisture from one of these instances can soak into the carpet, damaging the porous fibers.

What does water do to a carpet?

If the water saturates the carpet, padding will disintegrate, and glues will weaken, causing the backing to peel away from the fibers. The moisture also causes microbes to develop on the surface of the subfloor. Water will ruin the whole carpet if left too long, so how long is too long? How would a person know if a carpet is salvageable or not?

The answer depends on a few factors. A professional restoration company will examine the cause of water damage and determine if the water is Category 1, 2, or 3. These categories describe the levels of toxicity of the water. Flood water and sewage water are seen as unsafe and are categorized differently than tap water overflowing from a sink or bathtub.

A professional will also lift the different layers for cleaning and drying. The carpet padding will likely be thrown out, no matter how long it’s been sitting, because it is relatively inexpensive to replace. This saves a lot of time, effort, and money cleaning a potential breeding ground for microbial growth. 

In general, many carpets can be restored by technicians without needing replacement—even when water seeps deep into the fibers. If the water type and severity of damage poses a health risk, though, a professional will know to rip out the carpet and replace it.

Water Extraction

After technicians inspect the danger and its source, lift layers, and remove pieces, they will extract water from the carpet fibers using specialized equipment. This equipment pulls the water up through a vacuum and sends it to a tank. Heavy-duty weighted extraction tools will be used for highly saturated carpets. Weighted extraction tools use the operator's weight to compress the carpet, allowing more moisture to be extracted.

Drying

After water extraction, a professional will set up drying equipment. Air movers—SERVPRO’s name for industrial, high-powered, blower fans—push air in a circular motion speeding up the evaporation process. Dehumidifiers are simultaneously set up to pull moisture out of the environment and lower the property’s relative humidity.

Finally, a professional will disinfect the carpet. For additional information, call our office today at (901) 755-3705!

Microbial Growth Removal in Crawl Space

4/17/2022 (Permalink)

Crawlspace mold is not an issue for SERVPRO of Germantown

Microbial Growth Removal in Crawl Space

Microbial damage is likely to develop in a crawl space when the area becomes wet. When a professional technician performs an inspection in a crawl space, we check for visible water leaks and invisible moisture particles in the air. We do this because it is unproductive to disinfect molds without addressing its primary cause—the mold is sure to come back if the source of moisture is still hanging around. 

Why Might a Home’s Crawl Space Have Mold?

If your home's crawl space has grading and drainage issues, mold can develop where the water collects under the house. Our SERVPRO technicians use pumps to extract water if it pools. If moisture is evaporating into the crawl space from the surrounding walls and the ground, we isolate the area. To isolate the area, we use a space liner to encapsulate the area. This enclosure acts as a vapor barrier and works well to prevent microbial growth when paired with a permanent dehumidifier in the crawl space. 

Basic science demonstrates that differences in temperature between surfaces and water particles cause condensation. The same is true for your crawl space. If the surrounding areas and the crawl space have differing temperatures, the water vapor condenses. We usually resolve condensation issues by using or installing a dehumidifier. The device assists in monitoring and controlling humidity to discourage conditions favorable to microbial growth. 

What If the Microbial Growth is Deep in the Insulation?

A professional in the microbial remediation industry will be able to examine the crawl space for signs of deeper mold infestation. However, it is not always easy to see. Sometimes, portions of enclosed spaces must be cut to see if microbial growth has infested your home’s insulation. When a professional certifies there is growth, then further microbial removal services can begin. SERVPRO has the tools and knowledge to remove and dispose of damaged insulation safely.

Not everything can be restored, but, as surprising as it sounds, it is possible to restore fiberglass insulation! It's also possible to remove surface mold, called mildew, from below supporting joists and beams and other hard surfaces. We also remove surface mold from porous items such as drywall—as long as the fungus has not penetrated too deeply with anchoring hyphae. 

SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville uses industry-proven techniques to protect your property from further damage after facing any size disaster. You can access our 24-hour emergency services by calling (901) 754-9061.

What You Need to Know About Mold

4/10/2022 (Permalink)

While mold is invisible to the naked eye, it plays a vital role in the environment by causing the breakdown, or decomposition, of dead organic matter. However, when mold makes its way to the indoor environment, it’s destructive and can cause health effects. Moisture creates a favorable environment for mildew to thrive, resulting in extensive mold damage; typically, where there's moisture, there's mold. 

Mold Thrives in Humidity

Since mold thrives in humidity, small leaks and damp surfaces are prime real estate for rapid development of mold and mildew. Mold spreads swiftly due to the lightweight nature of its spores, which allows them to be transported easily by airflow. Therefore, it has great potential to contaminate a vast area.

Can I See Mold?

Mold damage in a property can be detected by visual inspection, particularly on open surfaces. However, mold growth can begin where it is unseen—like inside ducts and crawl spaces or behind tiles, paneling, and wallpaper, making it hard to detect. Common signs of imminent mold issues include warping walls, blistering paint, crumbling plaster, deep cracks in the tiles, and gaps in grout. If the floor or the walls have stains or feel wet and soft to the touch, mold testing and removal should be done as soon as possible. Additionally, a smelly odor in a well-maintained home is another signal for hidden mold growth.

What About Dormant Mold?

After discovering the moisture source and drying out the area, the mold may seem to vanish. However, failure to remove the mold spores in their entirety only makes the fungus dormant, and it is capable of reactivating upon the occurrence of favorable conditions which include:

• Ideal Temperature
• Organic Material
• Moisture

Even dormant mold can produce a smelly odor and cause health effects.

Can There be Mold in Newly-Built Homes?

Newly constructed homes are not exempt from fungus infestations and subsequent mold damage. Especially when the materials used to build a property were either inappropriately stored in humid surroundings or they were rained on. If not fully dried, such materials hold moisture internally, which can facilitate mold growth and cause a smelly odor that won't go away even after deodorization.

Okay, So How Do I Get Rid of Mold?

During the first stages before mold damage escalates, a do-it-yourself (DIY) method can be helpful to eliminate the smell while preventing further development. It's advisable only to use fungicides and deodorization sprays that are registered under EPA, which should be done after the definite elimination of the sources of moisture. However, in most cases, DIY methods will only provide a temporary solution and could even spread the mold if not careful, necessitating an expert in mold removal and mitigation.

Professional mold remediation is especially necessary when:

• The fungus has found its way into the HVAC system or other materials that are generally out of reach
• The fungus affects a large area
• The homeowner lacks the appropriate tools to eradicate mold
• Exposure symptoms are already being experienced
• The homeowner has exhausted DIY mold removal and remediation methods

SERVPRO’s Professional, Efficient Mold Removal and Mitigation Method

Specialists in mold removal and mitigation possess experience and proper equipment for efficient and permanent fungus removal from homes and business premises. Mildew can go unnoticed and therefore establish itself all over, threatening health. Attempting to get rid of mold damage without professional assistance could prove tough. Efficient mold remediation and mitigation go a long way in reversing the destruction caused by mold. For additional information regarding mold remediation, contact SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville at (901) 755-3705.

Why Hire a Professional to Remove Microbial Growth?

4/10/2022 (Permalink)

Mold growth can cause damage to your home. Mildew, humidity, and warmth are some of the factors that give rise to mold fungus. A daily hot water shower makes the bathroom one of the spaces most susceptible to mold growth, but it’s not the only space that needs attention.

Can a Newly-Built Home Have Mold?

Mold damage needs a very short amount of time to grow—as little as 24 hours, and it isn't limited to homes of average or low value. If you bought a new home or had one built recently, you can take steps to suppress mold growth. But if you bought an older home or one with a history of damage, you might have a problem you don't know about.

The Best Way to Deal with Microbial Growth

The best way to deal with mold is to call a professional mold removal, remediation, and restoration company. These are people qualified to deal with black mold and other kinds of fungus. A 3rd party will come out and conduct an in-depth assessment of your home. They will determine how much black mold and mold fungus is in the house and the extent to which it has spread. Then, a microbial mitigation team will clean the affected area.

Mold Cleanup Protection

Mold cleanup presents certain risks. Fortunately, the cleanup process does not have to be overwhelming as long as you wear the proper safety gear, including:

• Face mask
• Gloves
• Full body protective coveralls
• Safety glasses

The day work is scheduled to start, the first thing professionals will do is put on special suits for protection. Then they will seal the affected areas off and apply negative pressure which prevents black mold spores and mold fungus from escaping into other parts of the house.

Once professionals have removed the mold, the specialists will put the mold into containers to take it off the premises. They will then use a special vacuum to remove all of the spores particles from the air.

While cleaning up mold damage is possible on your own, it may be better to seek a mold remediation specialist. These professionals provide both expertise and the necessary equipment to ensure that you, your employees, and your clients or tenants remain healthy and happy.

Still, here are some simple things you can attempt to mitigate mold damage.

Repair Leaks or Cause of Moisture 

When the source of moisture is removed, the potential for new mold growth lessens.

Scrub Hard Surfaces

While anything contaminated with black mold is better discarded, other mold types can be scrubbed from hard surfaces. A durable scrub brush, a mixture of detergent and water, and several clean rags to throw away after drying the surface are the tools to complete this job.

Discard Porous Materials

It may be tempting to keep expensive, porous items, like rugs and furniture, but it is not wise. Mold seeps into these surfaces, making it difficult to clean the material thoroughly. Additionally, as it is nearly impossible to clean mold from these materials, they constantly threaten continued mold contamination.

A mold removal, remediation, and restoration company is the way to ensure the mold is eliminated, contact SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville for additional information.

Mold: An Overview for Business Owners and Investors

5/10/2021 (Permalink)

What is Mold and How Do You Handle It?

When business owners hear the phrase mold growth, they most likely get sick feelings in the pit of their stomachs because they anticipate the costly repairs and remediation necessary for toxic black mold. However, the cost is primarily dependent on mold coverage, type, and overall damage. Although, before you get your calculator out, it is good to understand what mold is and how to handle it. SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville has put together information regarding mold.

1. Causes of Mold

Mold is essentially a moisture problem. The spores thrive on water and will assemble and establish colonies when near a water source. This is also why mold is found near plumbing, in basements, attics, bathrooms, and wall cavities because it thrives in damp, dark, and humid areas.

2. Dangers of Toxic Mold

Black mold is used as a blanket term referring to toxic mold. However, the only way to tell what type of mold is present in your building is to have it tested. No matter the kind of mold, you should safely remove it following city and state regulations as quickly as possible, ensuring everyone's safety.

3. Mold Growth

Mold spreads quickly, usually taking less than 48 to 72 hours to develop. Because of the accelerated rate of growth and the variety of species, mold should be dealt with quickly and precisely. To slow mold growth or development, you may want to install dehumidifiers and other means of ventilation in your building or property.

4. Mold Remediation

Mold is a naturally occurring substance, and as such, you should be cautious of companies promising the removal of all mold. Qualified mold remediation specialists in Germantown, Tennessee, or Collierville, Tennessee, understand that mold cleanup and remediation are not about eliminating every occurrence of mold, as that's impossible, but instead returning mold levels to natural levels.

The phrase black mold has become scarier than reality because of manipulative advertising strategies. However, despite the hype, mold is still a problem that demands immediate attention, and as mold types vary greatly, it is best to seek professional assistance in the removal process. Contact your mold remediation specialists, SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville, at (901) 755-3705.

That Isn’t a Mud Bath: What to Do When There’s a Sewage Backup in Your Bathtub

5/7/2021 (Permalink)

Three Steps to Ensure You and Your Family Remain Safe

Have you ever dreamed of a beautiful spa day, soaking in a mud bath, and just letting all worries fade away? Well, that foul-smelling brown, black, and gray sludge bubbling in your bathtub isn’t that. A sewage backup is an unfortunate occurrence, and while cleanup may seem like a manageable undertaking for contained areas, like bathtubs, there are hidden risks to both your health and your home. If you have experienced a sewage backup, SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville has put together these steps to ensure that you and your family remain safe.

1. Call the Experts

While a bathtub backup is contained and minimal when considering basement backups, you still want to call emergency restoration services in the Germantown, Tennessee, or Collierville, Tennessee, area. Sewage water is regarded as blackwater and may have contaminants that can cause symptoms detrimental to your health:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Liver failure

Restoration specialists are certified and equipped to handle contaminated materials. They have the training so that you and your family remain healthy and happy.

2. Turn Off the Water

When you experience a sewage backup, the first thing you should do is turn off the water to the affected area or the entire house. Water that continues to drain into the lines from sinks or toilets will only cause the sewage level to rise in your system, spreading damage across a larger area.

3. Ensure Your Safety

When you experience this type of flooding, it is essential to keep yourself and your family safe. Blackwater is contaminated water that can affect humans and animals in negative ways. If the backup is located in an area that can be sealed off to children and pets, it is best to do so. If the affected area is too large to contain, it may be best to leave your home until help arrives.

A sewer backup is nothing to take lightly. The black water alone is a threat enough to stay clear of and seek professional assistance. Give SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville a call at (901) 755-3705 for assistance in dealing with sewage problems.

The Steps of Professional Mold Remediation

Mold growth can do severe damage to your home. If you spot mold anywhere in your home, you should take decisive measures to get rid of it. SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville is here to help.

Mildew, humidity, and warmth are some of the factors that give rise to mold fungus. The daily use of hot water in the bathroom makes it one of the spaces most susceptible to mold growth. Taking action against mold growth in showers, tubs, and sinks is familiar enough.

Mold damage isn't limited to homes of average or low value. If you have bought a new home or had one built from scratch, you can take steps to suppress mold growth. But if you have bought an older home or one with a history of damage, you might have a problem you don't know about.

The best way to deal with mold is to call a professional mold removal, remediation, and restoration company. These are the only people qualified to deal with black mold and other kinds of fungus. A representative of the company will come out and conduct an in-depth assessment of your home. They will determine how much black mold and mold fungus is in the house and the extent to which it has spread.

The day work is scheduled to start, the first thing they will do is put on special suits for protection. They will then seal the affected areas off and apply negative pressure to them. This step prevents black mold spores and mold fungus from escaping into other parts of the house.

Once they have removed the mold, the specialists will put the mold into special containers to take it off the premises. They will then use a special vacuum to remove all of the spores particles from the air.

Mold: Professional Removal and Remediation

There's a wide variety of fungus in the environment. While mold is invisible to the naked eye, it plays a vital role in nature by causing the decomposition of dead organic matter.

Moisture creates a favorable environment for mildew to thrive, resulting in extensive mold damage; typically, where there's moisture, there's mold. SERVPRO of Germantown / Collierville possesses extensive knowledge and experience in identifying and remediating mold.

What Causes a Mold Infestation?

Since mold thrives in humid areas, small leaks and damp surfaces can result in the rapid development of mold and mildew. Mold spreads swiftly due to the lightweight of its spores, which allows them to be transported easily by airflow. Therefore, it has great potential to contaminate a vast area and damage furniture and clothes.

Where is Mold Damage Found?

Mold damage in a property can be detected by visual inspection, particularly on open surfaces. However, mold growth often begins inside ducts or behind tiles, paneling, wallpaper, and crawl space, making its detection almost impossible. Common signs of imminent mold issues include warping walls, blistering paint, crumbling plaster, deep cracks in the tiles, and gaps in the grouts. Moreover, if the floor or the walls have inexplicable stains or feel wet and soft to the touch, mold testing and removal should be done as soon as possible. Additionally, a smelly odor in a well-maintained home is also a signal for hidden mold growth.

What is Dormant Mold?

After discovering the moisture source and drying out the area, the mold may seem to vanish. However, failure to remove the mold spores in their entirety only makes the fungus dormant, and it is capable of reactivating upon the occurrence of favorable conditions.

• Mildew has found its way into the HVAC system or inside materials that are hard to reach.

• The fungus has affected a large area.

• The homeowner lacks the appropriate tools to eradicate mold in the home effectively.

• Exposure symptoms are already being experienced following commercial mold damage.

• The homeowner has already exhausted ideas after unsuccessfully employing DIY mold removal and remediation methods, including deodorization, to eliminate the smelly odor of mildew.

Why Should One Go for Professional Mold Remediation Services?

Specialists in mold removal and mitigation will often possess vast experience and the proper equipment for efficient and permanent fungus removal from homes and business premises. Such skills are required in identifying the mold in the home, especially the hidden and dormant spores. Some companies will even replace the affected furniture and apply special products for restraining further mold development.

Mildew can go unnoticed for long and establish itself all over the business premises or homes, threatening the health of such property. Attempting to get rid of mold damage without professional assistance could prove tough since it's hard to reach such hidden places as behind tiles, inside walls, or even under suspended ceilings.

Efficient mold remediation and mitigation go a long way in reversing the destruction caused by mold in the home and commercial mold damage. Besides, dealing with the smelly odor resulting from mold damage in the property could be a daunting task as deodorization alone will not solve it.
