Water Damage In My Voorhees Server Room

6/1/2022 (Permalink)

Electronics With Water Exposure Need Special Handling.

A data center is the lifeblood of any business or organization. When a water damage event happens, that involves this area of the building, and it is crucial to get professional cleanup services as quickly as possible to ensure the best outcome. Water leaves behind minerals that have the potential to deteriorate circuit boards, and prolonged exposure to high levels of moisture can play havoc with the equipment. Common losses incurred from damage to servers include:

• Loss of customer data and information critical to daily operations
• Failure of internal communications
• Corruption of important documents

What is the Best Process for Commercial Water Removal in a Data Center?

SERVPRO technicians have extensive experience handling commercial water removal in Voorhees properties that affect their computer equipment, including server racks and data centers. The techs use portable pumps most often to extract the water from within a structure. The ease of mobility allows them to move around angles and corners to ensure all the moisture gets removed.

The most traditional data center set up involves numerous servers and switches stacked on rack units. This setup is ideal for maintenance; however, when there is a water loss event such as a pipe break in a ceiling, this can incur large amounts of loss as water runs down through the rack.

What Should Happen First After Water Damage in a Server Room?

Some preliminary actions property owners can take to limit the loss before the techs arrive is:

    •    Turn off electricity to the loss area
    •    Move out server racks if it is safe to do so
    •    Avoid "testing" equipment

The technicians can remove the equipment to a safe area and arrange for an industry professional to inspect and test equipment and recommend any repairs needed before reuse.

General Tactics After Water Loss in a Data Center

It is not unusual for structural elements in the server room to require removal due to damage. Sheetrock wicks moisture rapidly, and once it begins to buckle or warp, it needs disposal as a loss. Depending on the type of flooring, it may lose adhesion to the substrate and need to get removed for drying and cleaning. Industrial carpets are commonly used as flooring in data centers and usually have a rubber backing. This type of floor covering often has one of the best outcomes after a water loss as it is made to repel liquids and usually has the potential for reuse after drying and cleaning. SERVPRO techs inspect these items for the potential for restoration through cleaning methods and reuse. With their general contractor's license #HIC 13VH01276600, the techs have the knowledge and expertise to rebuild any part of the building that water loss damaged.

Drying the loss area usually involves the use of air movers in tandem with dehumidification equipment. In cases where seepage occurred into the subfloor, the techs deploy drying mats to dry the flooring rapidly. Afterward, they clean the areas with professional-grade cleaners to leave the room disinfected and deodorized.  This inhibits the potential for any type of musty water odors remaining within the space.

Monitoring the Drying Process is Important
Highly humid conditions are bad for computer equipment, and during the drying process, the technicians carefully monitor the water vapor levels in the air with their equipment. This attention to detail helps ensure that the interior humidity levels get returned to levels conducive to a good operating environment for both people and equipment. Until the room verifies as attaining drying goals, the final step for cleaning and making any repairs cannot occur.

Avoiding Water Loss Problems in the Future
Once the mitigation efforts complete, SERVPRO technicians give property owners a tour of the loss area and go over actions taken, repairs that got done, and if anything further should get done to restore the data center room to full functionality completely. This information gets compiled into a report that includes photos and detailed descriptions to assist property owners in expediting any insurance claims.

The techs can recommend preventative measures for avoiding water loss issues in the future by taking actions such as waterproofing the server room or the installation of environmental monitoring. This equipment alerts property owners whenever there is a change, such as elevated moisture levels, smoke, or chemicals detected in the immediate area.

SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388 has the training and equipment to deal with any size commercial water removal in local businesses. Call us today and get your business cleaned, dried, and back to normal.

When we position air movers for drying, we want to avoid prolonged disruption to the business. When possible, we place furnishings, such as tables and chairs up on blocks for drying in place.

We set drying goals using other air moisture readings from unaffected areas of the property to ensure the target is in the range that inhibits mold growth but also is a comfortable level for anyone inside the shop. Once the property confirms dry through moisture detection readings, we move on to the cleaning and disinfection step of restoration.

If there are any residual odors from the water, and frequently drying, and disinfection takes care of the majority of odors. When needed, we have several devices and techniques to neutralize foul odors left behind by water loss.

According to U.S. Fire Administration Data, approximately 5,600 restaurant fires were reported to fire departments between 2011 and 2013, incurring $116 million in damages.

What Does Data Indicate About Restaurant Fires?

• Peak days of the week for fires are Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday. Monday and Tuesday had the lowest fire risk.
• The leading cause of fires in restaurants, is cooking, accounting for 64 percent of fires. Heating and electrical failures were the second leading causes at seven percent each.

Which Precautions are Necessary During Water Removal in Voorhees to Comply with Government Regulations?

10/12/2020 (Permalink)

Quick reaction is what you need when water damage affects your office. Contact team SERVPRO for effective water removal and remediation service.

SERVPRO Guides Voorhees Business Owners during Water Removal, Ensuring Everything Done to Save the Property is in Line with the Regulations

When your business premises is covered with water, your primary concern is how to remove the water, dry wet areas, and restore everything to the preloss state. In your haste to achieve these goals, you might take some actions that go against regulations set by state or local authorities. Helping business owners comply with all regulations is one of the fundamental roles SERVPRO plays when restoring wet business premises in Voorhees.

Which regulations can you interfere with during water removal exercises in Voorhees?

• Standard plumbing code
• Property maintenance codes
• Waste management regulations

Faulty water pipes cause most water spills affecting Voorhees business premises. Old corroded water pipes my spring leaks flooding the building. Alternatively, joints can give way, releasing water into unwanted areas of your property. Before completing other water removal processes such as extraction, it is necessary to find the leak point. Most pipes also happened to be installed within wall cavities or other assemblies in the structure. Therefore, you might need to do some demolition to reach the affected area and rebuild the section after fixing the leak. 

Plumbing codes state that you should not weaken the structure when making pipe installations. Therefore steps such as cutting joists to reach existing pipes or accommodate new ones might violate the plumbing codes. Other aspects of the code include the placement of protective plates and fire caulking around the pipes.

Our SERVPRO technicians receive 10-hour general and construction industry training that equips them with sufficient knowledge on the national plumbing codes. We also review local regulations to ensure that any work we do during water removal is compliant.

How can water removal lead to violation of property maintenance codes?

Property maintenance codes touch on many issues, including:

• Presence of toxic fumes, gases, or materials in a building
• Operation of dangerous or defective plumbing
• Failure or collapse in parts of the structure

Although you might expect a standard water removal process where you extract pools of standing water, then dry any wet materials in your premises, things might not always go as planned. Since water is a universal solvent, it affects several materials within your property, leading to deterioration, chemical changes, or microbial growth because of the exposure and especially if such exposure is over a lengthy period. In a business facility, the inconveniences are amplified because you serve people with different interests or preferences. 

Our SERVPRO team can help you overcome the problems and, in the process, ensure that no violation of building maintenance codes occurs. For instance, we can cut down the period the materials are exposed to water by fast-tracking extraction. We also employ strategies that help control moisture as we perform other removal processes. The main strategy involves setting up dehumidifiers around the facility and thus maintaining standard humidity levels.

What wastes need removal when there is a water intrusion incident?

Water removal from your Voorhees premises may create various wastes, including deteriorated materials from the floors, walls, and other parts of the structure. Water exposure can lead to the irreversible deterioration of drywall and insulation. It can also affect other less observable materials such as the cement or glue holding floor materials together as well as the paint or other finishes on various surfaces. Some of these materials might contain hazardous substances such as lead or asbestos. Therefore, safe disposal is necessary for the wellbeing of the people patronizing the facility and to ensure you conform to waste management regulations. 

Our SERVPRO technicians take a holistic approach to waste management. For instance, we do some evaluations to determine whether demolition is necessary for the water removal processes needed at your premises. We use sophisticated equipment such as thermal cameras to check water migration patterns in concealed areas, thus ensuring we only demolish the affected areas. We also use different kinds of moisture meters and sensors to check the level of wetness in materials, thus determining whether we can dry them instead of removing them. 

On determining the need for teardown, we take precautions such as using heavy-duty plastic bags to hold different wastes at the loss site until we have a chance to dispose of them properly. Our branch is certified in RRRP, Lead-based Paint Activities, and Renovations, so it is easier to identify and handle hazardous finishes properly. 

Your effort to deal with a water spill should not lead to a violation of government regulations. SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees can help manage the incident at your premises for a positive outcome. Call us at (856) 566-3388.

We train our technicians to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certificate standards, so we can swiftly get your premises looking “Like it never even happened.”

What is mold?

Mold is a type of fungus. Mold needs moisture and a food source to grow. In nature, food sources for mold include foodstuffs such as fruits and vegetables, or natural substances like wood. In your business, mold can munch on drywall, canvas, wallpaper, carpets, or upholstery.

Mold consists of tiny tubular cells called hyphae, which combine to form a single organism known as a mycelium. Mold spores can leave the mycelium and become airborne, traveling through the air to a new location. The spores can also enter through doors and windows, drift through vents and HVAC systems, or even cling on workers’ boots and clothes.

When mold spores find a new location with water and a food source, they can establish a new colony and create another mycelium.

What does mold remediation mean?

SERVPRO mold remediation includes:

• Removing visible mold (the black or fuzzy growth you see in affected areas)
• Eliminating mold spores from the air if possible
• Treating the underlying cause of mold to prevent its return – this includes drying out the area with dehumidifiers and fans, and measuring moisture levels to ensure we meet our dryness target

SERVPRO teams use a range of techniques to remove mold, including scrubbing, dry cleaning, dry media blasting, negative air machines, and HEPA vacuuming.

Please note that it is not possible to remove every last mold spore. Spores are microscopic and can quickly spread through any building. Even if it was possible to remove every last one, more could still enter from the outside via doors, windows, and on staff shoes and clothes. However, thorough remediation discourages mold growth and gives your business a better chance of staying mold-free as far as active colonies.

What is a HEPA vacuum?

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air and refers to a specific filter that traps small particles. To qualify as HEPA, a filter must be able to catch 99.97% of airborne particles that are 0.3 microns in size. A filter that meets these standards is known as a true HEPA filter. There are other HEPA-type filters available, but they do not meet these strict standards and are not as effective.

SERVPRO only uses true HEPA filtration in our vacuums. The HEPA label refers to the filter, not the device itself, or the bag inside it.

Why is a HEPA vacuum crucial for mold remediation?

Mold spores vary in size, but most are around 3 – 4 microns, bigger than the smallest particles that a HEPA vacuum can trap. That means a HEPA vacuum can catch a large number of mold spores and prevent them from re-circulating into your business. As a point of reference, a human hair is about 20 microns in diameter.

HEPA vacuums can capture other types of particle:

• Dust and dander for a thorough clean
• Particles of plaster or paint during restoration repairs
• Leftover dry ice or baking soda after media blasting, a type of mold cleaning that sprays small particles at the mold-covered surface

Although it is not possible to remove mold entirely, HEPA vacuuming dramatically reduces the amount of mold and traps the spores so they cannot travel elsewhere.

Can I get a HEPA vacuum for my office after SERVPRO leaves?

Yes, SERVPRO recommends investing in a HEPA vacuum for your cleaning staff. They do not cost that much more than ordinary vacuums.

A HEPA vacuum is not a substitute for professional mold remediation, and we do not suggest tackling mold yourself. However, using a HEPA vacuum as part of regular cleaning is an excellent way to trap spare mold particles and reduce the number of spores in the environment. HEPA filtration can also help with dust allergies, making for a more pleasant working environment. Effective air circulation improves IAQ indoor air quality and helps prevent a “sick” working environment.

Do double check that the vacuum you choose is a true HEPA filter that has been tested to work for 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, to be sure you are getting the best filtration. But remember – if you see mold, do not vacuum it yourself. Call in the experts.

I Think There Is A Mold Issue at My Voorhees Gym, How Can I Tell?

8/9/2020 (Permalink)

Mold at your business needs to be cleaned up quickly and correctly in order for your business to reopen. Contact SERVPRO for remediation service.

SERVPRO Will Inspect Your Voorhees Business and Execute a Plan for Rapid Mold Remediation

Mold spores are present just about everywhere, but you never want to have them fester within your business space. When there is excess moisture in your Voorhees gym, flooding, or another type of water leak that does not get resolved quickly, it can turn into a breeding ground for mildew and mold. There does not have to be a great deal of water present for the spores to colonize. Many buildings will have a certain amount of mold present in bathrooms or other wet spaces.

The good news is that not all mold instances will call for the help of professionals to handle mold remediation in Voorhees. The spores will grow in a variety of wet areas, such as portions of your gym that may not have proper ventilation. You may also notice that you have colonization within the locker rooms by the showers, or in the sauna or steam rooms. The key is maintaining your business regularly so that you can keep mold from showing up.

If you are still unsure if there is mold present in your Voorhees gym, our mold inspection team can visit your business to take a look. We have the training necessary to help us find serious issues with mold, and we can then put together a detailed plan to mitigate the problem for you.

What Are Some of the Signs I Should Look For?

Should you discover one or more of the following signs, it is better to call in the help of our mold removal technicians at SERVPRO:

• If you notice mold beginning to grow within your facility. With the various kinds of mold, some could be more harmful than others. Our team can determine the type of mold and then work to eradicate it safely and efficiently before it turns into a more significant issue.
• If you have had a water leak that has been going on for a day or longer. Mold never needs much water to colonize, but it is imperative that you address a water leak sooner than later. Addressing any leak, regardless of how big or small, can mean salvaging flooring, walls, carpeting, ceilings, and other contents of your gym.
• If you notice any sort of condensation building up on the inside of windows throughout your gym. This can be enough moisture to create the perfect atmosphere for mold to begin growing indoors.
• If you detect a moldy or musty odor. This may be especially strong whenever the doors and windows are closed up.

What Can I Expect During the Mold Inspection Process?

If you suspect mold within your business, we send out a team within as little as four hours of your initial call. This is an issue that must get addressed quickly, and we get to work with the evaluation right away. There are a few common steps that we take to ensure that the result is that your gym is mold-free.

• SERVPRO conducts a visual inspection. This helps identify the presence of fungal propagation.
• We use moisture meters, hygrometers, and thermal imaging camera technology to locate any excess moisture within the building. 

Many mold issues stem from a burst water pipe, improper ventilation, or a slow leak hidden behind walls. Once the visual inspection wraps up, we then collect bulk samples from the building along with tape lift sampling and air samples. This allows us to determine the type of mold that is within the building. We then formulate a plan for mold mitigation that will enable us to eradicate it from your gym.

For mold removal efforts, we want our customers to know that each scenario is different. We realize that your commercial gym calls for individual attention, so we adjust our methods and cleaning techniques accordingly. Our process for mitigation generally includes the following steps:

• The initial call and deployment of our Green Fleet of vehicles loaded with the latest equipment and mold remediation products.
• Full inspection and assessment of mold damage.
• Protocols for mold containment.
• Air filtration to help remove spores from the air within the building.
• Mold removal and disposal or cleaning of mold-infested materials.
• Thorough cleaning of surface areas and contents within your gym using powerful EPA-registered cleaning agents and sanitizing products.
• Complete the restoration as necessary to wrap up the project.

Due to the potentially harmful health effects that mold can have, this is never a situation where you want to wait before addressing an infestation. Additionally, DIY methods alone will rarely get you the level of clean that proven mold remediation by trained technicians provides.

SERVPRO of Haddon Heights/Voorhees is here when you need reliable mold mitigation at your business. We are Faster to Any Size Disaster, and you can reach us 24/7 at (856) 566-3388 for a mold assessment.

Stationary Extraction Tools for Water Removal from Hotel Carpets in Voorhees

1/20/2020 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO today at (856) 566-3388. We will make it "Like it never even happened."

How SERVPRO Quickly and Effectively Removes Water from your Voorhees Hotel

The interior design of a hotel is essential to giving guests a warm, welcoming feel. Thick, plush carpets may add to the coziness of your establishment. However, these can be the most susceptible to water saturation. Water saturation may occur as the result of a leak, a loose appliance hose, or from a flash flood. Materials like carpet can become up to 50% weaker when wet. Should a water emergency affect the entrance halls and staircases, not only is it unpleasant for guests, but by walking across it, you may incur permanent harm.

Our service incorporates a commercial water removal response team for your Voorhees hotel. The mantra for SERVPRO water restoration technicians (WRT) is to extract, extract, and extract again. While you may feel dehumidification equipment or natural airflow may be a suitable response, these methods are time-consuming. An extraction tool can remove water over 1,000 times faster than a dehumidifier. At SERVPRO, we stock a variety of extractors to suit the needs of both commercial and residential clients.

Plush carpets respond best to extraction devices that exert intense downward pressure. By squeezing down unto a thick rug, moisture pushes to the surface, making vacuum extraction more efficient. In some situations, a moving extraction tool or wand may risk tearing or otherwise damaging a thick carpet. In these circumstances, SERVPRO technicians can utilize stationary extraction tools.

Stationary extraction tools use vacuum power to draw moisture into hoses or ducts and transport them out of your hotel. However, they use the standing weight of a technician to exert pressure on the carpet below to squeeze moisture from the material. At their broadest, stationary extraction tools can cover 200 square inches at a time. SERVPRO technicians can also apply a pre-cleaning carpet conditioner during extraction to give your hotel carpets the strongest chance of returning to a preloss condition.

For specialist commercial water extraction, contact SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388.

Mold Remediation for Business in Runnemede Needed? Call the Pros from SERPVRO!

Don't Let Mold Infestations Curtail Your Runnemede Business! SERVPRO Works Hard to Keep Your Doors Open!

SERVPRO Keeps Runnemede Hotel Open During Commercial Mold Damage Remediation

It is common for people to expect pristine conditions when they stay in hotels, so the owner of a hotel in Runnemede was worried after spotting patches of mold on some of the walls. Closing down the premises to mitigate the damage was also worrisome because it would dent the hotel's revenues and turn away potential customers.

So, here is how our team would conduct the remediation. After notifying SERVPRO about the case of commercial mold damage in the Runnemede hotel, we opted to find ways to fix the damage without closing down the premises. By establishing that the infestation affected only some rooms and in most cases, in wall cavities and other hidden areas, we concluded that we could use engineering controls to isolate the affected areas for the remediation.

Our team set up a staging area for the equipment and set up containments with 6-mil polyethylene sheets to keep mold debris from reaching uncontaminated areas during the remediation process. Even with such containments, microscopic debris such as spores and dust can spread if the setup is not done correctly. Such a simple oversight would invalidate all the effort and expose guests to harmful materials. Whenever we set up containment, a technician confirms that it is airtight using a manometer. We maintain the IICRC recommended pressure differential of -0.2 inches when using negative air pressure machines.

With most of the mold in the hotel being from unaddressed leaks in the plumbing lines, repairs and thorough cleanup would provide a comprehensive solution. Our SERVPRO technicians set to work tearing down drywall and ceiling to access mold colonies in the cavities. We removed and double-bagged all porous materials affected by the mold. HEPA-filtered vacuuming all affected areas, and using antimicrobial cleaning agents was also crucial to remove mold debris and kill spores.

After removing almost all traces of the mold colonies and the musty smell it is associated with, we had to rebuild and finish the affected areas. Installing new wall panels and repainting areas ruined by processes such as wire brushing helped remove all traces of the mold infestation, "Like it never even happened."

Mold can bring down a business quietly. Call SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388 to help restore your facility. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

SERVPRO Expedites Reopening of Flood-Damaged Retail Stores in Barrington

Why Perform Quick Commercial Water Removal in Your Barrington Grocery Store After Flooding

Flooding is a serious problem, regardless of where it happens. Severe flash flooding can cause vast volumes of muddy water to enter your grocery store and ruin everything in its path. It can even cause some goods to float from shelves. Such a disaster can make it difficult for you to resume business as usual, and the interruptions may exceed your expectations.

Even after the floodwater recedes, plenty of dangers could persist. You, therefore, need to perform prompt commercial water removal in your Barrington grocery store to prevent secondary destruction. Restoring a commercial building is an involved process that may necessitate expensive cleanup. You can trust SERVPRO to help you restore your grocery store to preloss condition. We can arrive at your business premises shortly after receiving your call with everything required to extract the water, dry, and disinfect the premises. Some of the equipment we use includes:

    Self-priming trash pumps
    Air movers
    Desiccant dehumidifiers
    Thermal imaging cameras
    Inspection cameras/boroscopes
    Air filtration devices

The floodwater that entered your grocery store most likely contained contaminants like industrial waste, bacteria, and sewage. If you do not eradicate them, they can infect your employees and customers. Some of the products you sell are perishable. If the floods knocked out power, the perishable food could get spoiled. You need to throw out the spoiled food to avoid fighting a liability lawsuit. Local inspections may be needed before reopening in the cases of extensive floodwater infiltration and damage.

It is crucial to perform thorough decontamination. Using bleach to wipe down your sales counters and mopping floors is not enough. Contaminants can hide in places hard to reach areas. Our Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRTs) can use sanitizers to reduce the number of microbes to acceptable levels. Disinfectants minimize microbes to levels that public health authorities consider safe.

After a flooding incident, it may be necessary to rebuild some structural components such as wooden beams and drywall, which are porous, can absorb much water and may not dry out fast enough. These structural components can serve as a breeding ground for mold. Our SERVPRO team (General Contractor License #: HIC #13VH01276600) can help. Hiring one restoration firm to perform cleanup and rebuilding is not only convenient, but it can also help you save money and time.

Recovering from flood damage need not be a challenge when you hire the right restoration company. Call SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388 for quick restoration. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Our Crew Can Save Your Voorhees Business After A Mold Infestation

9/9/2019 (Permalink)

“Like it never even happened.”

Yes, Your Voorhees Business Can Recover From Commercial Mold Damage

No one wants to hear their business has commercial mold damage because, in a nutshell, it may mean that the organization cannot operate until remediation efforts happen.

SERVPRO team members carry certifications as Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT), and they know what to look when it comes to commercial mold damage in a Voorhees property. Common reasons for mold infestations include inadequate ventilation, damaged plumbing, leaks in the roof or building structure or insufficiently cleaned up water damage to name just a few.

Mold Infests Quickly
When indoor temperatures are over 70F-degrees combined with high humidity and organic materials to consume, a mold infestation spreads rapidly. SERVPRO technicians know the signs of colony growth and work to identify every area of the property mold exists.

Common Actions During Mold Remediation
Controlled demolition tactics such as cutting away damaged sheetrock and removal of flooring when affected by mold are common. This also allows greater airflow, and when the ambient indoor humidity levels are below 50%, the mold colonies cannot exist and dry in place. The removal of mold-infested contents can occur without the approval of the property owner or adjuster.

Careful Containment
Mold damaged areas get blocked off during remediation to inhibit cross-contamination. Then, the removal of dried colonies by hand-help HEPA vacuums keeps the spreading of airborne spores to a minimum. Post-removal, the use of antimicrobial cleaners and sealers as needed to stop the return of the problem.

Ductwork Inspections
When there is a mold infestation, the ductwork often needs remediation efforts. SERVPRO technicians inspect and clean ductwork as necessary to ensure it is left clean and not contaminated. Some commercial sites have systems that require advanced, industrial-grade equipment to remove debris, odors, and contaminants from the ductwork.

Post-Remediation Wrap-up
After the removal of the mold damage, technicians give the property owner and adjuster a listing of the remediation efforts completed, along with before and after photographs to assist with expediting any insurance claims. There is also a secondary list of suggested actions and repairs to fully restore the property provided. SERVPRO holds a general contractor license and provides any needed reconstruction as a seamless service.

SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388 can clean and remediate commercial mold damage safely with their experience and equipment to make it “Like it never even happened.”

Mold Assessment and Drywall Removal in a Voorhees Clothing Store

8/31/2019 (Permalink)

Don’t let mold be your new accessory in your Voorhees shop.

SERVPRO can remediate mold in your Voorhees business.

While often mold spores take a full 2-3 days to develop into mold colonies, you are only in your Voorhees clothing store half of that available time during regular operating hours. In this regard, with the bustle of your everyday activities and the customer traffic you expect, symptoms and effects from developing mold colonization can get overlooked or completely missed. Without developing a sound strategy to combat this growing organism, it can spread quickly and present multiple hazards to both your stock and any person exposed to the colonies.

Discovering the extent of mold damage in your Voorhees clothing store begins with a thorough assessment by competent professionals. Our SERVPRO team has extensive training through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in mold remediation as well as water restoration and structural drying. These skilled technicians have years of combined experience to offer real-time containment and mitigation solutions. These approaches protect your investments, your building, and your employees.

With clothing being an organic material, it is a likely host for spreading mold colonization as it approaches and works through your main shop floor. Ideally, you have discovered this threat, and our remediation professionals have already started colony removal and restoration practices in the building. If not, your entire inventory can become susceptible to the spreading colonies, worse still in the areas combatting lingering dampness that allowed the mold growth initially.

Drywall is also particularly susceptible to colonization, and often mold growth gets discovered by its presence on drywall surfaces. Spotting of discoloration can often be a clear indication of a present problem. With how quickly drywall can become distorted and warped by moisture and saturation, our professionals often must remove damaged portions. We have a full-service team of licensed general contractors (HIC #13VH01276600) that can get right to controlled demolition and full build back whenever necessary.

We strive to provide every business with the same level of dependable service that begins with our prompt response to your emergency. With a full crew of remediation specialists on our SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees team, we can quickly and confidently address growth in your clothing store and to its contents. Give us a call anytime that you need us at (856) 566-3388.

Haddon Heights Storm Loss? Call SERVPRO We Can Mitigate The Damages Fast!

Flood damage can be costly and an overwhelming experience. Call the professionals at SERVPRO today for remediation assistance.

Commercial Flood Damage in Haddon Heights

In a commercial property such as multi-family housing, when one tenant has a water damage issue, it can quickly become the problem of the other tenants. 

Intense storms have the potential to deliver high winds, hail and commercial flood damage to Haddon Heights multi-family housing units such as a duplex, four-plex or apartments. When water breaches the roof of an upstairs unit, the potential to affect the ceiling of the tenants below or floor joists is a real concern. 

One thing is sure, when there is water damage in a home, sheetrock and water are mortal enemies. When it comes into contact with water, it wicks the water quickly and in a short time begins to warp and buckle. When this occurs, the wall or ceiling generally does not have restoration potential and instead is cut away using a clean, controlled demolition technique known as "flood cuts."

Other methods SERVPRO technicians use to assist the property in fast-drying before deploying air movers include:

• Weep holes drilled to allow both drainage and airflow
• Extraction with our portable pumps for greater mobility at the site
• Scoping the site with our detection equipment to ensure all areas of elevated moisture receive attention

After any type of water damage, mold and foul odors are a concern. Our certified Water Restoration and Odor Control technicians follow up after drying to ensure that conditions are not favorable for mold growth and use antimicrobial cleaners to inhibit germination of airborne spores. 

Along with the detailed action plan of each phase of the water cleanup to assist with expediting any insurance claims, our SERVPRO holds a general contractor license HIC #13VH01276600. We can offer commercial property owners the option to have our technicians restore water loss items as well as handle repairs and reconstruction of the property. Our goal is to ensure the property returns to its preloss condition as quickly as possible.

When commercial flood damage strikes, contact SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees at (856) 566-3388. Our technicians use their knowledge and equipment to make water loss in your property "Like it never even happened."

It is important to have your business properly insulated and your shut off valves identified. This will help reduce the risk of a pipe burst and minimize the loss should it occur.

Winter Property Tips

11/22/2016 (Permalink)

1) Prepare for Winter Storms

Heavy snow accumulation can pose a threat to your home or business; not only as it builds up, but also as it melts. Here are things to watch for:

• Watch for snow accumulation on the leeward (downwind) side of a higher-level roof, where blowing snow will collect. For safe removal that won't endanger you or damage your roof, consult a roofing contractor for a referral.
• Remove snow from basement stairwells, window wells and all walls. Melting snow can lead to water damage and moisture intrusion.

 Ice dams are an accumulation of ice at the lower edge of a sloped roof. When interior heat melts the snow, water can run down and refreeze at the roof's edge, where it's much cooler. Should ice build up and block water from draining off the roof, the water is then forced under the roof covering and into your attic or down the inside walls of your property.

• Make sure your gutters are clear of leaves and debris.
• Keep the attic well ventilated so snow doesn't melt and refreeze on the roof's edge.
• Make sure the attic floor is well insulated to minimize the amount of heat rising through the attic from within the house.

Water intrusion and flood damage from melting snow and ice can threaten property, but by taking the following steps it can help minimize the potential for damage.

Immediately after the threat of physical danger has passed:

• Make sure the building is structurally safe to enter or reoccupy.
• Turn off electrical power. Do not use electricity until it is safe to do so.
• Ensure that natural gas sources are safely secured.
• Secure the exterior to prevent further water intrusion. This can include boarding up broken windows, making temporary roof repairs, sealing cracks or tacking down plastic sheeting against open gaps in walls or roofs.

When it's safe to begin cleanup:

• Disconnect all electronics/electrical equipment and move it to a safe, dry location.
• Begin to remove water-damaged materials immediately.
• Contact SERVPRO of Haddon Heights/Voorhees or SERVPRO assistance with extraction and drying.
• By taking immediate action, you will reduce the amount of damage and increase the chance of salvaging usable materials. You'll also reduce the amount of rust, rot, mold and mildew that may develop, and lower the likelihood that the water will lead to structural problems.

2) Prevent Plumbing Freezes

• Pipes in attics, exterior walls and crawl spaces are most vulnerable to extreme cold.
• Check on all vacant units.
• Simply turning off the water is not sufficient for a property that is to be left unoccupied for a long period - a lot of water is still in the system, and can cause damage. To remove the risk completely, have a plumber drain down the water and central heating system.  Or alternatively, be sure the heat is on and set to at least 55 degrees.
• If you go on vacation, leave the heat on, and set to at least 55 degrees.
• Locate your water main in the event you need to shut it off in an emergency.
• Drain all garden hoses.
• Insulate exposed plumbing pipes.

3) Inspect Roof, Gutters & Downspouts

• Check flashing to ensure water cannot enter the property.
• Replace worn roof shingles or tiles.
• Clean out gutters and downspouts.
• Consider installing leaf guards on the gutters or extensions on the downspouts to direct water away from the property.

4) Check the Exterior, Doors and Windows

• Inspect exterior for crevice cracks and exposed entry points around pipes; seal them.
• Use weather-stripping around doors, and caulk windows to prevent cold air from entering the home.
• Replace cracked glass in windows. If you end up replacing the entire window, prime and paint exposed wood.
• If your home has a basement, consider protecting the window wells by covering them with plastic shields.
• Switch out summer screens with glass replacements. Install storm windows, if you have them.

5) Fireplace Inspection

• Cap or screen the top of the chimney to keep out rodents and birds.
• Call a chimney sweep to remove soot and creosote, if the chimney hasn't been cleaned for a while.
• Buy firewood or chop wood. Store it in a dry place away from the exterior of your home.
• Inspect the fireplace damper for proper opening and closing.
• Check the mortar between bricks and point, if necessary.

6) Furnace Inspection

• Call an HVAC professional to inspect your furnace and clean ducts.
• Remove all flammable material from the area surrounding your furnace.

7) Check Foundations

• Rake away all debris and edible vegetation from the foundation.
• Seal up entry points to keep small animals from crawling under the house.
• Point or seal foundation cracks. Mice can slip through space as thin as a dime.
• Secure crawlspace entrances.

8) Prepare Landscaping & Outdoor Surfaces

• Trim trees if branches hang too close to the house or electrical wires.
• To prevent winter injury, ask your landscaper when your trees should be pruned
• In areas where the ground freezes, plant spring flower bulbs and lift bulbs, such as dahlias, that cannot withstand winter temperatures.

9)  Prevent Slip and Falls and Other Liability Issues

• Inspect all property entrances and common areas to ensure they are well lit.
• Clean Leaves and debris
• Also have plenty of ice melt on hand to prevent injuries

While you can't change the weather, you can minimize some of winter's biggest threats to your property.  With some sensible planning you can avoid surprises this winter.
