Protecting Flooring in Fort Pierce North Condos After Water Damage

3/13/2023 (Permalink)

We have several strategies to dry carpets and flooring materials. Call SERVPRO today!

Flooring Water Damage Must Be Addressed Quickly

When water leaks occur in condos, restoration professionals like ours must respond fast to help. We carefully evaluate the condition of your unit and begin mitigation upon arrival to protect elements like flooring from permanent damage.

Extracting Standing Water

When addressing water damage in Fort Pierce North condominiums and apartments, we must work quickly to ensure that more units are not impacted by migrating moisture. Flooring can be one of the most heavily damaged elements of the residence, as water collects on these lowest materials until the moisture gets absorbed into the pores of the surface. Surface water extraction with wet vacuums and pumps can be an effective starting point, but water removal varies by flooring type:

• Carpeting – Weighted extraction and carpet wands are the most effective with immediate water removal from carpeted floors, though thorough drying might also include other processes. Floating places a powerful air mover between the padding and carpet layer of flooring, drying both simultaneously. 
  

• Hardwood/Plank Flooring – Water absorbed into plank flooring can permanently damage these installed components without prompt action. Drying mats pull moisture from plank floors and the subflooring materials underneath before water becomes bound to the plank and distorts it. 
  

• Tile Flooring – While non-porous, standing water on tile is more likely to migrate to other areas of the residence from your kitchen or bathroom where it is installed. Extraction can manage most of this threat, including using squeegee wands for more direct water removal. 

Cleaning Up After Water Damage 

Cleaning up these flooring materials is an important step to follow water removal and drying. Carpeting can be dulled and stained by water absorption, so deluxe conditioning and hot water extraction can improve the appearance of the fibers and restore colors.

When flooring in your coastal condo suffers water damage from a leak, SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE can respond fast to help. We can complete extraction, drying, and cleanup to save you repairs and reconstruction. Call us at (772) 362-7060.

Commercial Water Removal Methods in Fort Pierce North

1/6/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO's fast water removal from your Fort Pierce restaurant keeps the doors open. "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Can Provide Commercial Water Removal Services in Fort Pierce North

Most restaurants have several sinks for cleanliness and food preparation; thus, water supply lines run to them. The more pipes running through a building, the higher the risk of a pipe bursting. Pipes can break in several different ways, which can cause moisture to flood your structure. Or appliances can malfunction, or drains can back up and cause standing water to build up on your restaurant's floors.

Whenever our SERVPRO technicians work on commercial water removal projects in Fort Pierce North, we thoroughly inspect before work begins to determine what equipment we need. For example, if there are more than a couple of inches of standing H2O on your floors, we can use a submersible pump. The pump sits in the water and pumps it into one of your sewage drains.

If your carpets get wet, we can sometimes save them through extraction and drying procedures. We can use a handheld wand to remove moisture for thin, glue-down carpets. For thick carpets, we can use a weighted extraction tool that uses the operator's weight to compress the fibers and allow more moisture to get extracted. If your restaurant's hard floors, like tile or linoleum, get wet, we can use a mop and squeegee to remove the liquid H2O.

Once the liquid water gets removed, we can start the applied structural drying (ASD) process. Depending on the extent of the damage, we can calculate the correct amount of air movers and dehumidifiers. The air movers push air around counterclockwise to help speed up the natural evaporation process and remove moisture soaked into your building materials. The dehumidifiers then pull water out of the air the keep the relative humidity numbers low.

Other ways we can help your business after a water leak:

• Content pack-ins and pack-outs
• Set up desiccant dehumidifiers to dry out the concrete
• Disinfect possibly contaminated materials
• Restorative carpet cleaning
• Deep final cleaning

Any time a disaster strikes your place of business, call SERVPRO of Fort PierceNE, at (772) 362-7060.

Flood Damage Restoration in Fort Pierce North Homes with SERVPRO

11/8/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO storm damage restoration services are top-notch. We are ready at a moment's notice.

Advantages of Rapid Fort Pierce North Flood Mitigation

A flooded home can result from internal issues, including plumbing failures, or external events, such as extreme weather. One must take specific steps to save the property, secure the family, and recoup as many belongings as possible. Floodwaters may include sewage or other hazardous material. Therefore, extreme precautions should be exercised when handling them.

The level of flood damage in Fort Pierce North properties increases the longer the water level stays abnormally high. The longer standing water stays inside the house, the more structural stability may be compromised since structural wood and paneling, as drywall, becomes increasingly compromised. Wood remains wet long after the floodwaters recede unless special efforts are made to dry it. The SERVPRO emergency team responds to water intrusion events and is equipped to mitigate such damages.

Other impacts from floodwaters

• Damage to concrete pad foundations, outdoor patios, and walkways
• Undermined footings for post-and-beam foundations and deck posts
• Damages fences and outbuildings

Power lines are inherently susceptible to damage from extreme weather due to falling trees leading to power loss. The tree may also fall directly on your house, leaving an opening on the roof hence more water intrusion. After such incidents, our SERVPRO crews take rapid measures by installing tarps over any open spaces to prevent further moisture intrusion.

Flood damage cleanup

Professional flood damage cleanup crews handle the impacts on carpeting, walls, upholstery, floors, cupboards, or even soggy documents. However, carpets and other porous materials should be replaced when contaminated with floodwaters as it is categorized as black water, which is unsanitary. High-value area rugs can be saved through a multi-stage process starting with immersing in a biocide, re-cleaning, and thorough drying. An Indoor Environmental Professional has to test to confirm that porous materials have reached sanitary conditions after cleaning. You should also sanitize hard surfaces.

Chemical agents necessary for sanitizing

• Antimicrobial products
• Disinfectants
• Sanitizers

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce, NE, is a phone call away when you need flood damage restoration. Reach us at (772) 362-7060 for a solution that makes it “Like it never even happened.” 

Hire Remediation Professionals for Mold Damage in Ft. Pierce

9/12/2022 (Permalink)

Mold remediation for your home is no DIY project. Let the professionals of SERVPRO handle all the work. We are here to help.

Moisture Management Plus Mold Remediation -- Why SERVPRO Is the Ft. Pierce Choice

Trying to solve Ft. Pierce mold growth issues without addressing water damage is a recipe for disaster. Spores driving the spread of fungal colonies must find and absorb moisture to germinate and multiply. Sources of water in your home can include:

• Leaking roof from storms
• Bust pipes 
• Sewage backup
• Spills
• Excessive humidity levels

Why Does SERVPRO Focus First on Eliminating Water Damage?

Mold damage in Ft. Pierce is less likely to overwhelm homeowners when trained technicians locate water incursions and trace for migration as part of initial assessment activities. Proficiency in water removal and applied structural drying is why SERVPRO helps avoid a never-ending cycle of mold removal followed by fungal resurgence because of lingering moisture. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), author of the seminal guide to effective mold remediation followed by reputable contractors, stresses that moisture management is the key to effective microbial control strategies.

What Is the EPA Mold Remediation Protocol?

The methodical, research-based methodology developed by the EPA is the backbone of our mold remediation, which is why SERVPRO crews feel confident during microbial infestation projects. The broad outline of the process follows:

• Technicians don personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent drift or tracking of moldy debris into unaffected areas.
• Crews locate mold colonies, testing when necessary.
• Workers contain the workspace by wrapping areas with 1.6 mil polyethylene and sealing through the action of negative pressure air scrubbing equipment.
• Team members mechanically remove mold organisms with scrapers, brushes, and other agitation techniques -- considering controlled media blasting with soda or dry ice for porous surfaces.
• Technicians complete cleanup with spray and wipe or HEPA-filtered vacuuming, bagging debris and residues for lawful disposal.
• Managers direct the treatment of newly mold-free surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobials to inhibit future mold growth.

Availability of comprehensive water and mold damage emergency services is why SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE earns high rankings for successful outcomes. Call (772) 362-7060 to arrange the necessary interventions for sustainable mold remediation.

Understanding How Mold Spread and How to Fight its Growth is Essential to Protecting Fort Pierce Homes with Mold Damage

Mold grows in all homes, including those in Fort Pierce. Its spread does not reflect your housekeeping or the care you give your home. Nor is it unsurmountable when it happens. Although you can help control some growth factors, such as ensuring no leaks or standing water in your home, mold occurs naturally and is part of our environment. When it grows uncontrollably and shows up as discoloration on your walls or a musty smell, it is time to call the professionals and let them handle the issue.

Your call for mold remediation in Fort Pierce should be to SERVPRO’s 24/7 hotline. Our action steps for mold remediation are based on EPA-recommended and industry best practices. Mold is impossible to eliminate, so it aims to inhibit its growth and clean surfaces already affected by it. In the process, pre-testing treatments and making an educated decision about which items are salvageable is critical. Only technicians with the experience and knowledge to understand how mold grows and travels can give you the best advice. At SERVPRO, we rely on some of the following to conduct a successful mold restoration process:

• Containing the affected areas by isolating them with polyethylene barriers and the use of negative pressure
• Using blasters, specialized brushes, and scrapers to remove the growth and deter bacteria from multiplying
• Discarding moldy items in compliance with local regulations

Types of Water Removal Needed in Fort Pierce North Stores

8/5/2022 (Permalink)

Commercial water damage restoration services by SERVPRO are second to none. Call now!

SERVPRO Provides Various Water Removal Approaches

Water mitigation and restoration services seek to remove as much water from the property initially as we can to make drying processes more efficient and productive. To achieve this, water removal tools are utilized in many capacities.

Standing Water Removal

When water removal for Fort Pierce North stores is considered, many visualize the standing water threats when pooling starts after instances like burst pipes; standing water can absorb into exposed materials, threaten the wares, and present possible safety hazards. We have several extraction devices like pumps and vacuums to manage these threats.

Trapped Water Removal

Water damage can be a threat even in the tract framing construction of commercial buildings that house your store. Pooling in this structural cavity can collect in these metal components and pose continued threats of structural damage or mold development. Migrating moisture into the main work areas and its flooring must also be managed promptly. We have several specialty tools for trapped water removal, including:

• Carpet wands
• Light wands
• Weighted extractors
• Negative/Positive pressure systems

Humidity Management

A final focus of water removal services for the store is managing environmental moisture concerns. Humid environments are ideal for mold development and continued structural deterioration. To get your store open again to customers in comfortable conditions, SERVPRO must manage humidity with tools like our dehumidifiers. We have several types of these machines, though desiccants are often ideal for Large Loss use.

Water removal describes many of our team's earliest actions to manage disasters. The objective of mitigation is to remove as much water as possible to protect the structure and wares of your store. When emergencies like leaks and pipe bursts occur, let our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE professionals help you make it "Like it never even happened" by calling (772) 362-7060. 

Consistent Fire Restoration Cleaning in Fort Pierce North Homes

8/5/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO provides quality fire damage restoration services for your home. We are ready at a moment's notice.

The Four Elements of Fire Restoration Cleaning

Soot and smoke damage becomes very threatening, so our SERVPRO team works quickly to begin cleaning and restoring affected surfaces. We have many cleaning products and methods to remove stubborn soot deposits and start this cleanup as soon as it is safe.

The Elements of Cleaning

Effective fire restoration in Fort Pierce North homes and businesses combines products and techniques. Our understanding of the cleaning process allows us to know ideal conditions for cleaning elements like:

• Temperature - Heat makes molecules move faster, allowing chemical processes and evaporation to complete in a shorter span than without the added warmth. 
• Agitation - Working in the determined cleaning product can help to remove loose debris and help lift and wipe away more challenging deposits. 
• Chemical Action - Dissolving, emulsification, and other chemical processes work to protect the underlying surface by separating the soot from the material.
• Time - Chemical processes occur at varying rates on specific surfaces and in certain environmental conditions. The contact time determines how long a chemical solution must stay in contact with soils before further action is necessary. 

Choosing the Right Cleaning Product

Even with an understanding of these cleaning principles and elements, the right product makes the difference in the efficiency of the restoration. We identify the type of smoke damage and determine the best approach to overcoming its presence on building materials and contents. In many cases, a combination of efforts to remove loose debris combined with suspension and dispersion products to dissolve or emulsify the remaining solids is the best approach.

Cleaning up after a fire requires more focused action and understanding of smoke behavior than many homeowners might realize. Managing smoke solids and residues involves a combination of products and approaches, all occurring with individual requirements for elements like temperature, contact time, and needed agitation. Trust the experience of our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team to help, and call us now at (772) 362-7060.

Clearing Flood Damage from Fort Pierce South Attics

8/5/2022 (Permalink)

Storm and flood damage restoration is no DIY project. Call the professionals at SERVPRO for fast and immediate service.

The Attic Can Be Overwhelmed by Flood Damage

When you discover flood water penetrating your attic space, it is vital to contact professionals to help. Our SERVPRO team understands the obstacles of attic restoration to accomplish:

• Extraction
• Drying
• Mold Prevention
• Repairs
• Reconstruction

Examining the Roof for Damage

After flood damage to Fort Pierce South homes, we must carefully examine the roof for vulnerabilities. Storms can cripple supports, remove shingles, and tear underlayment materials. Temporary patching can be installed to get the cleanup and drying processes started.

Assessing Hazards

Wet spaces in the attic can present unique obstacles in the form of safety hazards. Florida homes often have conduit and electrical components converging in the attic space to manage distribution to individual rooms better. Wet attics can create electrical hazards for responding technicians, so a portion of power to your home might require de-energizing while work gets underway.

Confined Space Management

An obstacle to attic restoration after flooding is accessing this smaller space with the needed equipment for recovery. While we have varying-sized air movers and drying tools of this nature, the sizable dehumidification units often become a challenge. In this case, desiccants can be used with lay-flat hoses to pull wet air from the attic and exhaust dry air back into the space for efficient drying.

Handling Wet Insulation

Insulation is one of the more challenging aspects and materials to manage when cleaning up flood-damaged attic space. Not only must these materials be removed, but depending on the type, they might require an additional drying step if it is fiberglass insulation. After drying, we can complete work in the attic by reinstalling dried insulation or new insulating products around the trusses and roofing materials.

Severe storm systems can threaten even reinforced and well-constructed roofs. When water can penetrate the attic space, considerable damage is possible. This situation can worsen further if experienced restoration professionals like our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team cannot take swift action. Call us today to help at (772) 362-7060.

Need Water Damage Repair and Restoration in Fort Pierce – Call SERVPRO

Whenever there is a water leak in Fort Pierce, regardless of how it occurred, it is important to begin removing the water quickly before additional secondary damage happens. Water is absorbed by many porous products, including carpets, various flooring materials, and wood products used in floors and cabinetry.

SERVPRO provides rapid response service for water damage control in Fort Peirce and surrounding areas. In less than four hours from your call, we are onsite to assess the situation and deploy technicians and equipment to begin water remediation before secondary damage can begin.

While wood products such as hardwood flooring naturally contain a low level of moisture, it absorbs moisture whenever water is allowed to stay in place for lengthy periods. The wood expands whenever it absorbs moisture, which can cause wood products to warp and buckle at joints or against walls. There is a danger that the warping and buckling can remain in place even after the wood dries. In many cases, the floor must be replaced.

This is why it is so important to begin water removal immediately. We urge clients to call us directly and start mopping up water until we arrive. We deploy water extractors and use specialized water removal equipment for hardwood floors to remove water between the hardwood floorboards. Our high-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers will quickly remove moisture and lower humidity in your home.

SERVPRO provides the following services to our clients in the area:

• Water removal services
• Water damage remediation
• Water clean up

SERVPRO Provides Mold Damage Inspection and Remediation in Fort Pierce

Mold colonies can materialize in Fort Pierce homes and businesses whenever there is moisture, a food source, and warm temperatures. There are mold spores everywhere, food sources are also prevalent in our buildings, and all that is needed is a little moisture from a water leak around windows, leaks in the roof, AC systems, unvented bathroom showers, or a plumbing leak. Often a musty smelling odor is the first thing most people notice in some area of their home, indicating they have a mold problem.

SERVPRO provides mold damage inspections, assessments, and remediation services in Fort Pierce. Our technicians can locate the odor source and inspect and assess the infestation. They will provide advice and recommendations regarding how best to proceed with mold remediation and removal. Consumers and business owners should be aware that large areas affected by mold may require state-mandated specific inspection and documentation protocols to be followed.

Once the moisture source has been addressed, we deploy dehumidifiers to dry the affected area. The affected area's size and location are assessed, and we develop a plan to remove the infestation. Large long-term infestations may have compromised the structural elements of your home. We use controlled demolition techniques to remove contents and structural items that are damaged. Negative pressure rooms and bagging in place are two approaches employed to avoid disbursing mold spores to other areas of the structure.

SERVPRO utilizes the latest techniques and processes to remove mold infestations and manage your home or business mold remediation activities. SERVPRO provides the following mold damage remediation services:

Smoke Deodorants for Fire Damage Restoration in Fort Pierce

5/11/2022 (Permalink)

Fire damage can leave offensive smoke odors behind. But no worries! Call SERVPRO!

Fire Damage Restoration Involves Deodorization

Deodorization is one of the final main obstacles to fire restoration for homes and businesses. This process involves several types of deodorants and cleaning products to achieve the intended results. Types of deodorizing that our SERVPRO team offers include:

• Masking
• Pairing
• Disinfection

What is Masking? 

Fire damage restoration for Fort Pierce properties hinges on our ability to remove harsh smells from the structure after extinguishment. One of the fastest routes for making the environment tolerable for technicians and house occupants are masking products. As the name suggests, these do not remove odors but instead overpower them for a time. These are also a strong defense against imaginary odors (phantosmia) that can be a significant obstacle in restoration.

How Does Pairing Work? 

Pairing deodorants work as a chemical reaction to combine the molecules of odors with unstable compounds or to reduce the presence of harsh smells through absorption and subsequent neutralization. There are two main pairing agent types:

• Humectant –These chemical products combine with airborne odor molecules, causing them to fall as precipitation on surfaces in the house. They can then be cleaned from the materials and removed by mechanical means.

• Counteractant –This is a neutralizing approach that involves chemically combining odor molecules with products that destroy bacteria or change a molecule’s properties.

Disinfection Cleaning

Fire damage can benefit from various forms of disinfection cleaning as well. This approach destroys odor-causing organisms and compounds in the environment, and this is among the most popular avenues for deodorization and odor removal after a fire gets extinguished. Some of the options here include:

• Ultraviolet light
• Temperature extremes
• Ozone
• Fresh air

Fire damage can leave offensive smoke odors behind. Our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team has effective mitigating and cleaning solutions to overcome these threats and return the property to preloss condition as fast as possible. Give us a call today at (772) 362-7060. 

Air Movers Help Restore Flood Damage in Fort Pierce Homes

5/11/2022 (Permalink)

When water enters your home, call SERVPRO. We are equipped to dry your home.

Versatile Air Movers Help after Flood Damage 

Drying is one of the fundamental processes for every water damage or flooding event that our SERVPRO team restores. Necessary elements of this essential process are the air movers, which circulate dry air through an environment to increase evaporation rates. We keep these machines stocked in our Green Fleet of service vehicles for fast deployment when needed. Types of these units include:

• Centrifugal
• Low-Profile
• Axial

Continual High-Velocity Airflow

Flood damage in Fort Pierce homes can leave many building materials exposed to water saturation and absorption. This migrating moisture can be an overwhelming presence without contamination threats, requiring powerful drying approaches. Air movers continually move air around wet materials, allowing for an even and steady drying.

Addressing a Boundary Layer

One of the advantages of tools like centrifugal air movers is their ability to overcome cooling boundary layers that form just above the surface of moist elements. During the evaporation process, cooler vapor barriers form above the damaged materials that can slow the production of natural drying processes. Centrifugal units provide a focused blast of warm air to reach this substrate and continue steady drying progress.

Increasing Vapor Pressure

Air movers can help increase the temperature of a workspace and move warm, dry air throughout the containment zone. As temperatures of the liquids affected increase, so does the molecular kinetic energy. This provides faster and more efficient vaporization of trapped surface water and increased vapor pressure.

High-velocity air movers provide a stable foundation of consistent and widespread evaporative drying throughout a damaged household. With multiple units to choose from and hundreds of machines at our disposal, we can position them to have the most significant effect on a moist environment. Give our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team a call now at (772) 362-7060.

Before mold remediation in Fort Pierce homes can prevent the recurrence of microbial threats, active colonization must be considered and overcome. There are multiple mold removal tactics our IICRC trained team uses, including:

• Surface Treatment – We have multiple antimicrobial and sporicidal products in our inventory capable of eliminating surface mold damage on contact. 
  

• Media Blasting – Involves using pressurized air or water (though, in some cases, water can amplify moist conditions) with media like bicarbonate of soda, corn cobs, walnuts, or dry ice. 
  

• Sanding –Surface damage can benefit from hand or power sanding. Elements like wood framing use this technique to preserve the bulk of the material installed while eliminating a thin layer of penetrating mold.

• Controlled Demolition – Controlled demolition is a safe last resort to eliminate present colonies from a residence when other remediation plans are not possible.

Repairing Structural Damage

Structural vulnerabilities are contributing factors to a continuous mold damage threat. Because our remediation team also comes with a general contractor license, we can help with the repairs and build-back services your home might require. Preventing mold from returning means replacing damaged materials, replacing compromised plumbing, and rebuilding structural vulnerabilities.

Assessing Moisture Penetration

Moisture is among the most influential factors in developing and prolonged support of active colonies. It is vital to address areas where water might intrude into the living space. Much like tracking moisture migration when drying a building, thermal imagery and moisture sensors can help show problem areas that require repair.

It is nearly as essential to have a plan to avoid the recurrences of mold development in your home or business. Addressing the root causes of these conditions and the environmental factors that facilitate colonies can help to keep your property safe from microbial threats.

Considerations for Water Damage Repair at a Fort Pierce Business

4/11/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE understands how important your business is. Let us help you out.

SERVPRO Helps Fort Pierce Business Owners by Responding Rapidly to Water Damage

Your Fort Pierce business could experience water damage due to a simple issue like a toilet leak. Commercial buildings with public restrooms get a lot of use. A flapper that does not create a solid seal may allow water to leak from the toilet tank drain. When the fill valve fails to turn off after the toilet tank is refilled, it continually sends water into the tank leading to overflows. Any leak can cause business interruptions and damage to equipment like computers. It is therefore important to respond rapidly to mitigate the loss.

SERVPROs commercial water damage repair team helps Fort Pierce businesses minimize downtime by doing everything possible to restore to a pre-damaged state. We do a walk-through of your business to determine the best cleanup method and the appropriate equipment to repair the damage.

Other Benefits of Professional Help

• Better scoping of damages
• Classification of water damage
• Completion of any repairs needed
• Better control of restoration costs          

Appropriate Actions to Help With Repairs

While the water source can influence the type of water damage in a building, it can also be determined by how long the water has been stagnant. The materials within your business, such as wood, laminate, carpet, and tile, also determine the outcome. SERVPRO technicians quickly execute the process using simple alternatives like mops or powered options like wet vacuums to remove standing water quickly from the floors.

Steps to Help Repair Water Damage

• Dry the structure thoroughly
• Drying important documents
• Odor management 

Drying can be done generally or by establishing drying ones. Drying zones are areas used to manipulate the humidity, airflow, and temperature, enhancing the drying of wet materials. We do this by erecting plastic sheeting around the affected area. The chambers allow us to focus our equipment's efforts. We position air movers and dehumidifiers inside the zones. Air movers maintain circulation while dehumidifiers create optimal drying conditions.

Don’t let your property be a victim of fire damage, SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE is only a call away.

SERVPRO Formulates a Reliable Restoration Plan in Fort Pierce Homes After a Fire

Home fires might result from electrical equipment, candles, faulty wiring, cooking, and flammable liquids. A fire can char walls and anything close to the source spreading smoke odor and soot particles to other house sections. Cleaning up after a fire in your Fort Pierce home may not seem like a daunting task. Still, it is because of the different materials to remove and unforeseen challenges. However, relying on professionals ensures thorough cleaning and advanced restoration.

It is advisable to hasten the fire restoration process in Fort Pierce homes because prolonged exposure could worsen the damage. SERVPRO inspects each room in your house to determine the extent of damage and then develops a plan of restoring your home to its preloss condition.

Challenges Encountered During Fire Restoration

• Deeply embedded soot
• Persistent smoke odor
• Significant debris volume

Dealing With Smoke Damage

Even if the fire was contained in one area, any item in your home is susceptible to some damage. Smoke residues can penetrate building materials' cracks and crevices, causing odor problems. At SERVPRO, we respond to the challenges created when smoke residues and odors affect different materials and surfaces using the right equipment and products.

Items and Surfaces That Can be Challenging to Clean Include

• Porous surfaces like some countertops                    
• Electrical appliances
• Drywall and ceiling fixtures        

Soot, a byproduct of smoke, can cause staining on surfaces and discolor appliances. Due to its corrosive nature, soot can also damage appliances. Our technicians prioritize basic cleaning concepts. For example, during structural cleaning, before repainting any walls and ceilings not damaged by fire, we scrub and sand before priming and painting to guarantee a lasting solution.

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE is dedicated to addressing any aspect of fire "Like it never even happened." Our fire restoration services are set to bring your home to its preloss condition as quickly as possible. Call us at (772) 362-7060.

Handling Flood Repairs in Fort Pierce

When rain fills the river basin quickly with too much water, it can cause an overflow. If you do not have a proper slope for water runoff around your Fort Pierce home, flood damage is likely. Contrary to the belief that a house ravaged by floods must be demolished and rebuilt, sometimes, all is required is professional restoration services to save your home.

Flood damage cleanup in Fort Pierce homes can be a lengthy and challenging process if you do not have the skills and the right tools to carry out complete repairs. Equipped with extraction and drying equipment, SERVPRO technicians can get to your home in good time and remove the remaining floodwater off your property preventing further damage to your structure and contents.  

Other Steps That Are Taken to Restore Your Home Fully

• Assessing the home
• Removing the damaged materials
• Decontamination
• Drying all wet areas

These steps help in different ways towards achieving the desired goals. For example, assessing your home helps reveal structural damage and hazards. Removing damaged materials creates convenience when making replacements and also aids in decontamination.

Identifying Potential Hazards Within a Home After Flood Damage

Floodwaters around your home could still have some force as it recedes. The surge or the excess moisture could weaken the house's structural integrity. For example, when particle board floors are exposed to floodwaters, they may not support the weight of people and machinery. The water also deposits mud and other sediments. The weight of the sediments buildup can pile pressure, adding to the damage. SERVPRO technicians determine potential structural hazards before we proceed with the restoration.

Other Hazards in The House

• Biological hazards
• Chemical hazards
• Electrical hazards

SERVPRO can fix any fire damage your commercial property endures. Call SERVPRO today!

Commercial Fire Damage Repair in Fort Pierce Calls for SERVPRO’s Help

A fire has caused damage in my restaurant, leaving behind smoke, fumes, and water damage. I need the right professionals to assist me in my business’s recovery efforts. Which restoration firm can help?

After a commercial fire damage incident in your Fort Pierce restaurant, do not hesitate to call SERVPRO. As with any other business establishment, fire damage in a restaurant can temporarily leave employees out of work until the restoration process is complete and the business reopens. Our fire restoration process includes the following procedures: 

• Thorough inspection
• Water removal and drying
• Odor removal
• Fixing damaged structures
  

Inspecting the building

Our SERVPRO restorers can inspect the property for its safety and structural integrity. To identify what we can or cannot salvage, we can evaluate all the affected structures and contents like chairs, tables, cutlery, ice makers, drink machines, and utensils to identify what we can or cannot salvage.

Water removal and drying 

Fires often activate sprinkler systems, and this can lead to water damage. The mess created when soot, ash, and mix can be considerable. We can use self-riming trash pumps to remove such water since these pumps can move solids. Our team can then dry your property using air moving and dehumidifying equipment. 

Odor removal

A fire can leave foul odors behind. Apart from opening doors and windows to allow air to circulate and minimize odors, our SERVPRO team can use Ultra Low Volume misters to eradicate the smells. We use ULV misters for wet fogging. They work by atomizing liquid deodorizing agents, mainly water-based agents, creating a fine mist. The equipment generates deodorant particles of about 20 to 60 microns in size. The particles are small enough to enter many areas where small-causing residues accumulate.

Repairing damaged structures

We can fix any structural supports that may have sustained fire damage to restore the building’s structural stability. Our SERVPRO team can also restore loose items that sustained damage or replace them. 

When you need commercial fire restoration services, call SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE at (772) 362-7060. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Water damage? No worries! SERVPRO is always a phone call away!

SERVPRO Provides Water Damage Restoration Services in White City

Water damage poses a threat to the home's structural integrity while acting as a serious health hazard due to the growth of mold, bacteria, and pathogens. It also serves as a source of stress to the residents.

Restoration is an essential, time-sensitive process in getting your house back to its shape. SERVPRO advises homeowners to handle the water damage in their White City homes as soon as possible to prevent its spread. Our restoration process is as outlined below: 

• Assessment
• Water removal
• Removal of damaged materials
• Drying
• Cleaning and disinfecting
  

Assessment of Water Damage

SERVPRO technicians can inspect your house to gauge the severity of the destruction. We also determine what requires salvaging for repair and restoration and what is to be discarded.

Removal of Water

Water damage increases the longer the water remains standing in a building. Our technicians can use carpet wands to extract water from carpeting. Carpet wands are heavy equipment that connects to carpet extractors and removes hot or cold water. Detergent jets and suctions heads are included in the wand.

Removal of Damaged Materials

Our SERVPRO technicians can remove all the affected items, materials, and building parts. We can dispose of the heavily damaged items and materials and commence cleaning, repairing, and restoring the salvageable items.

Drying 

We can use air movers to increase evaporation of the water absorbed by a building's structures and contents. We can also use portable electric heaters to dry the building or low grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to remove water vapor from the building. LGR dehumidifiers are more advantageous to use than conventional refrigerant dehumidifiers because they can dry spaces to a lower humidity ratio.

Cleaning and disinfecting

Due to the potential growth of mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms, our SERVPRO technicians can use industrial-grade cleaners to clean all affected items and structures.

How Does SERVPRO Manage Wet Drywall in Port Saint Lucie Homes?

2/22/2022 (Permalink)

Our team can make your water damaged drywall “Like it never even happened.”

Wet and Water-Damaged Drywall Must be Corrected with Specific Restoration Actions in Port Saint Lucie Properties

One of the first materials to become severely damaged by water and plumbing leaks in your home is the drywall. Because so much of your service line is hidden in the wall assemblies, sensitive materials like sheetrock rapidly absorb moisture.  

Weeping Standing Water and Promoting Airflow

Once materials like drywall have become damp, water damage restoration in Port Saint Lucie homes involves the initial actions of relieving the structural cavity of standing water. This process is a combination of steps that drains pooling water in the wall assembly and promotes airflow. Some tools used in this process include:

• Positive and negative pressure machines
• Low profile air movers
• Moisture detection tools

What is a Flood Cut? 

This process is where our experienced professionals determine the general height of water damage on sensitive materials like drywall and create a dry line. Below this taped line, the surface structural elements like the gypsum board and the baseboards are removed and discarded. Partial demolition allows for fewer material costs and often a faster installation process. 

Is It Easier to Replace Entire Drywall Panels? 

In some situations, our general contractor license can benefit us more easily decide to remove full sheetrock and gypsum board panels. With irregular wet lines of moisture-wicking into the material, flood cuts might not be feasible. Our professionals can demo the existing drywall, hang new panels, finish the seams and screw points, treat the material with antimicrobial products, and paint it to match existing walls. 

Drywall can be among the more sensitive building materials when water and moisture are a concern. Our fast response to emergencies allows us to mitigate losses in area homes and protect more of these installed elements from tear-out and replacement.

What Damage Can a Water Leak Do in Fort Pierce Kitchens?

2/22/2022 (Permalink)

There is a multitude of sources for kitchen water leaks. SERVPRO is always on call to quickly remediate the damage.

Leaks Require Efficient Water Restoration Solutions to Prevent Severe Damage in Fort Pierce Homes

With many plumbing fixtures in the kitchen area, from supply lines and fixtures to draining points, a wide array of possible damage could occur as these elements age. A simple and small leak could have far-reaching implications and effects for structural elements and the wall systems involved.

Pooling in Structural Cavities

The type of water restoration for Fort Pierce homes necessary after plumbing leaks in the kitchen begins with addressing any pooling or standing water in the structural cavities affected. Surface water threats are absorbed into sensitive materials like wood framing, drywall, and other structural elements to create more significant concerns. we can alleviate this type of problem with a few approaches and pieces of equipment, including:

• Drilling holes behind the removed baseboard
• Infusing dry, warm air
• Assessing drying progress with moisture detectors

Weakened Drywall 

Prolonged moisture exposure can be destructive to drywall. With the highly porous nature of sheetrock, water absorbs fast into these building materials. It can weigh the construction elements down to the point of collapse, which can be especially harmful when that drywall helps to support installed cabinetry.

Damaged Cabinetry and Fixtures

The cabinets and other structural fixtures in the kitchen can also become impacted by moisture migration. Depending on materials used in their construction, it might be more cost-effective to replace saturated cabinets and base units rather than attempt to dry them at our nearby SERVPRO facility or with equipment like our air movers, dehumidifiers, and other useful evaporative drying tools.

Regardless of the damage, these specific incidents can lead to, we, as leading water damage restoration professionals, can promptly address the concerns and return homes to preloss condition. Our experienced SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team is available 24/7 at (772) 362-7060.

SERVPRO is here to help you with the remediation and salvage process after a fire strikes. Just call (772) 362-7060.

Some Building Materials and Fixtures Require Replacement Over Restoration After Fires in Fort Pierce Properties. 

Every fire loss scenario is different. With thousands of homes in Fort Pierce and throughout St. Lucie County, efficiency is vital after fire damage to protect and preserve impacted elements to move on to the next loss incident. Our experienced team can respond fast to help.

Evaluating the Condition of Structural Elements

Before we can restore the portions of the property that can be protected during fire damage cleanup in Fort Pierce properties, we must evaluate if there are structural components that must get focused attention after fire damage. Our evaluation is focused on identifying several possible flags that a material might be easier to replace than restore, such as:

• Deterioration
• Odors
• Soot staining
• Charring/Blistering

Cabinets and Wood Constructs

Woodgrain finishes and high-porosity materials like pine and pressed wood are easy targets for fire damage. Circulating soot particles and odors can penetrate sensitive elements in rooms like the kitchen and often cause permanent damage. With low and mid-level cabinet units, it can often be more cost-efficient to replace over restoring.

Carpeting and Fabrics 

Carpeted floors are a common staple to local homes and one that can absorb much of the fire damage during and after a disaster. In addition to the threatening presence of soot and smoke residues that can mar and ruin the fibrous material, carpets can also be destroyed by water damage used to extinguish the blaze initially.

Drywall and Wood Trim 

Wall systems can often be heavily damaged after a fire, especially high-heat blazes that create pressurized air, forcing soot and smoke residues onto vertical surfaces. In many cases, once drywall becomes damaged or threatened, it is more cost-efficient to remove and replace rather than attempt to restore the sheetrock.

As you can see, not all materials and contents from your residence are worth saving and salvaging after a fire. Identifying item-by-item damage can be critical in the hundreds of restorability decisions that must be made during fire loss recovery. Our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team can help as experienced fire restoration professionals when you call (772) 362-7060.

What Water Extraction Measures Work in Port St. Lucie Condo Buildings?

11/19/2021 (Permalink)

Our teams are available to assist with any level of water damage to your property 24/7. Give us a call, we are here to help!

Large Loss Extraction Tools Allow for Quick Mitigation of Water Damage in Port St. Lucie. 

Condo structures are a common staple to the layout of Port St. Lucie and the entire county, so when water damages or flooding occur, a single incident could impact multiple units simultaneously. We have fast-responding technicians to help with reliable mitigation and thorough structural drying that prioritizes preventing mold growth and material degradation.

Isolating the Damage Area

When water extraction in Port St. Lucie condos and commercial properties is needed, our professionals must first work to determine the parameters of the damage. Physical barriers are closest to a complete solution for slowing migrating moisture, even between condo units. A perimeter of drying equipment can also regulate the movement of water.

Removing Water from High-Rise Structures

With most condo and apartment complexes in the city multi-story buildings, extraction and water restoration solutions must easily navigate the challenges of reaching great heights without losing power or efficiency. In some cases, smaller portable options are best, while stationary pump units have a greater range for intake and discharge, even at higher elevations. Some of these include:

• Wet Vacuums
• High-Pressure Pumps
• Truck-Mount Extractors

Identifying and Removing Trapped Moisture 

Moisture can become trapped within porous materials and migrate through structural cavities as principles like temperature and humidity seek equilibrium in the house. We utilize portable detection devices to track moisture beyond the surface of materials and thermo-hygrometers to monitor humidity and push to regulate excess.

Water removal can involve several tools and advanced devices. Because it is imperative to dry damaged properties thoroughly, our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team works fast to mitigate loss. We are available 24/7 at (772) 362-7060.

What Factors Change Flood Restoration Approaches for Fort Pierce Properties?

When storm damage wreaks havoc on your property, call in the experts at SERVPRO at (772) 362-7060.

Specific Variables Determine the Most Efficient Extraction and Restoration of Flooded Fort Pierce Homes.  

While Fort Pierce and the rest of St. Lucie County are fortunate to avoid much of the worst weather conditions that impact the state. When storm and flood damage do impact the community, our SERVPRO team is trusted to help mitigate loss and clean up the disastrous effects.

The Location of the Damage 

The location of flood damage in Fort Pierce homes makes a considerable difference in how the effects get treated and the pace of the overall restoration steps. Getting mitigation started is vital, and the tools for extraction and drying change based on the location and severity of flooding. Some of the common areas affected include:

• Attic
• Crawlspace
• Main living area
• Garage

Safety and Health Concerns

Standing water undoubtedly can cause several possible threats to the homeowners and the occupancy of the house. When pooling impacts rooms, building materials can deteriorate under this saturation and exposure. Additionally, we must deduce any compromising conditions with visual inspections of building elements to avoid shock or structural collapse.

Depth of Standing Water

The depth of any standing water in the house is another consideration for determining efficient extraction and drying. While shallow damage can often be remedied with tools like wet vacuums, carpet wands, and squeegee wands, deeper threats typically require efficient submersible pump solutions and stationary machines like our trash pumps for removing water with solids.

Understanding some of the variables that dictate the most promising approaches to flood cleanup and storm damage restoration allows for more efficient results. Our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team is a trusted name in post-storm recovery and flood removal. We are available 24/7 for Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, and other communities throughout St. Lucie County. Call us today at (772) 362-7060.

What Factors Can Affect Water Restoration At A Fort Pierce Sports Facility?

9/29/2021 (Permalink)

When your gym has a leak, the trainers and their clients will have to find a new location. Contact SERVPRO for effective water restoration!

SERVPRO Inspects the Facility to Establish the Extent of Moisture Migration before Delivering Water Removal Services

Water intrusion in a fitness or sports facility can interfere with many things, including the daily routines of the people using the premises. Expediting water removal and other restoration processes is the only practical way to minimize inconveniences. However, various factors can interfere with the water restoration process.

Physical damages such as a collapsed ceiling can accompany the intrusion, thus complicating water restoration at your Fort Pierce facility. Alternatively, moisture migration can spread the problem further after the initial spillage. For instance, seepage below the floor makes it harder to conclude the restoration process since demolition and rebuilding may be necessary. SERVPRO can help improve the outcome of a water intrusion at your facility regardless of the cocktail of problems you face.

Common incidents that lead to extensive water restoration include:

• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks
• Leaking roof from storms

Removing the water pooling on the floors or other areas is essential before taking other radical restoration steps.  Our SERVPRO technicians use everything from basic tools like mops and buckets to advanced water extractors to accomplish the task.

Drying wet materials is another issue that can lengthen the time it takes to restore the facility since the volume of moisture involved may not be apparent. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate the moisture conditions on the surface and within materials. We use both penetrative and non-penetrative moisture meters to take such readings accurately. 

Other useful restoration processes include:

• Wiping down surfaces with antimicrobial agents
• Leveling the humidity levels 
• Deodorizing the property

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE combines various strategies to ease water restoration in business premises. Call us at (772) 362-7060. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

What Can Be Done To Save Fort Piece North Properties When Flood Damage Breaches The Roof?

9/25/2021 (Permalink)

Flooding, whether from your damaged roof or coming in from the ground, can quickly overtake your home. Call SERVPRO for effective water removal.

SERVPRO Can Help Reattach the Underlayment before Starting Other Water Damage Repairs

Flooding from storms can take different forms. Apart from the usual breach by rising groundwater, a torn roof can also let rainwater into the property leading to unprecedented loss. Taking appropriate actions in good time is essential to containing flood damage.

Flood damage in Fort Pierce properties can be more severe when it originates from the roof since it likely reaches more property sections, including ceilings, wall cavities, and floors. It is also likely to affect most of the contents in the affected rooms. SERVPRO can provide quick relief and find long-term solutions to restore the property to its preloss state.

Complete flood restoration of your Fort Pierce North property may involve:

• Ceiling repairs from water damages
• Water removal services
• Sewage cleanup
• Water damage remediation

A roof breach is severe if it also affects the underlayment. An underlayment provides an extra layer of protection beyond that of shingles. Storms usually overcome the protection offered by a roof if the shingles are brittle from aging or if wind-driven rain infiltrates below their surfaces. However, if the underlayment remains intact, water should not reach the interior of the house. 

When our SERVPRO team arrives at the loss site, we evaluate the situation and establish the best course of action. We can reattach the rubberized underlayment to offer temporary protection against further water intrusion as the roof awaits full repair. 

Other helpful actions to limit damage include

• Installing a roof tarp
• Pack outs to relocate vulnerable contents from affected areas
• Covering the contents inside the house with protective tarps

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE responds uniquely to flood damage incidents. Call us at (772) 362-7060. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Does Method Matter When Managing Odor During Fire Damage Restoration In Fort Pierce South Homes?

9/20/2021 (Permalink)

Fire damage can quickly affect large parts of your home. Contact SERVPRO for effective remediation services that include dealing with odors.

The Conditions at the Loss Site Help Determine the Steps SERVPRO Takes during Fire Restoration

Strong odor can be the main issue or one of many problems you face after a fire incident at your Fort Pierce home. Whatever the case, you need a sound plan to deodorize the property restoring preloss conditions.

For the fire damage restoration effort in your Fort Pierce home to eliminate all odors, it requires more than just applying chemical agents to the areas where the smell is suspected to originate. The volatile odor molecules usually penetrate beyond the surface, thus making it difficult to neutralize them. Also, the soils emitting the smells have different physical properties that can inhibit removal. SERVPRO technicians are prepared to handle these different aspects to ensure the removal goes according to plan.

Odor management can be challenging under various circumstances, including:

• Water & fire damage restorations
• House fire clean up
• Smoke damage

Some of the reasons for such difficulty is because successful deodorization requires:

• Removal of odor sources
• Thorough cleaning of all surfaces 
• Penetration of materials emitting odors

Abundant moisture sets soils making it harder to clean the affected areas. On the other hand, if smoke damage is the primary issue, you can expect deeper penetration of odors in porous and semi-porous materials. Effective removal is only possible if the deodorization methods can replicate the conditions that created the smells.

Our SERVPRO IICRC-certified teams combine different removal techniques to benefit from the unique benefits each method offers. For instance, we mix water-based deodorizers with cleaning solutions, thus removing soils and odors simultaneously. Alternatively, we fog solvent-based deodorizers into the damaged property since they can penetrate deep into materials to counteract odors.

SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE offers top-notch fire damage restoration services restoring a home to its preloss condition. Call us at (772) 362-7060. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Is Dehumidification Always Necessary for Fort Pierce North Residents Needing Water Restoration?

8/26/2021 (Permalink)

Water damage remediation requires BOTH the trained personnel and the right equipment to tackle the job. Luckily SERVPRO has both. Call right away.

SERVPRO Technicians Can Mobilize Equipment Quickly to Speed Up Water Restoration in your Fort Pierce North Home

The presence of water in a home can cause both immediate and long-term damages to the property. Introducing water to a dry, indoor environment can encourage decay and affect the structural integrity of your building. The longer water is present in an indoor environment, the more far-reaching the consequences. SERVPRO can help residents manage:

• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks
• Water damage remediation

Vital equipment for conducting water restoration in your Fort Pierce home is the low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifier. These machines operate at standard room temperatures and can help to dry out enclosed spaces like stairwells, hallways, and crawl spaces.  This equipment can maintain performance levels in temperatures ranging from 33 degrees Fahrenheit up to 100 degrees, making them versatile enough for anywhere in your home. 

• Modern LGRs are self-maintaining, meaning that fans and cycles automatically adapt to the conditions. Real-time data is transmitted to technicians to aid the monitoring process. 
• Pumps to remove condensates are typically twenty-five feet long, which allows us to use LGRs in almost any part of the home. 
• Professional quality LGRs include filter systems that ensure the unit continues to perform in dusty or dirty parts of the property like attics, garages, and crawl spaces. 

For expert restoration and advice, contact SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE for water restoration services at (772) 362-7060.

When Mold Damage Situations Affect Your Fort Pierce South Home, Time is of the Essence

8/20/2021 (Permalink)

Finding mold in your home can be quite stressful. Call our certified SERVPRO mold damage remediation team to investigate and remediate.

Dealing with Mold Damage Effectively is Critical

Most residents use professional mold remediation services to reduce the impact of returning mold and address the underlying causes. Like any living organism, Mold requires a food source, water supply, and warmth to grow. The digestive enzymes produced by molds to break down a food supply can cause lasting damage to your home. This damage is noticeable in the form of dry rot or deteriorating drywall. We can help with:

• Mold removal 
• Attic mold removal
• Black mold damage repairs

The goal of mold remediation in Fort Pierce is to tailor standardized techniques to the unique circumstances of your home. In the case of attic mold, technicians may adapt equipment like dehumidifiers and negative air pressure machines to suit the restricted space. SERVPRO technicians are experienced in dealing with the differing nature of residential properties and can find a solution to suit your home. 

• Insulation typically needs to be removed and replaced once a mold infestation occurs. The replacement materials are inexpensive. 
• We are happy to work under the direction of an indoor environmental specialist to ensure your home is free from unpleasant mold growth. 
• Additional services such as installing vapor barriers or roof insulation are available to protect your home from future mold growth issues. 

It is vital to deal with Mold quickly to prevent long-term damage. Contact SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE quoting mold remediation at (772) 362-7060.

Can Commercial Fire Restoration Services in Fort Pierce Reduce Temporary Closures?

8/15/2021 (Permalink)

When fire damage affects your business, quick action is required. Call SERVPRO to assess and formulate a custom remediation plan.

SERVPRO is a Commercial Fire Restoration Service that Helps Fort Pierce Businesses Recover Quickly after Fire

Restoring a business after a fire can be a tough task. Remaining fire debris and charred materials must be completely removed from the premises while indoor air filtration, or dust removal, is essential to deal with smoke odors and aerosols. To protect your business, it is vital to use a qualified restoration service that can manage:

• Fire damage restoration 
• Smoke damage 
• Fire restoration

A commercial fire restoration service in Fort Pierce should be fully qualified and capable of returning your business to its preloss condition. Our training can help practitioners identify and organize workflow efficiently, meaning your business can re-open sooner rather than later. Using industrial air filtration equipment helps ensure that your business returns to a safe environment for employees and customers. 

• Air-filtration devices are usually deployed in a closed circuit cleaning system meaning that entranceways are sealed during filtration for maximum effectiveness. 
• Indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors can help detect the presence of invisible and potentially harmful aerosols. 
• IAQ sensors detect carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOCs are often the cause of unpleasant fire odors. 

To restore your business after a fire, use a professional. Contact SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE for commercial fire restoration at (772) 362-7060.

What Can Be Done About a Flooded Crawlspace in Fort Pierce North Homes?

7/28/2021 (Permalink)

Inspect your crawlspace often for signs of moisture.

SERVPRO can Work to Mitigate Flooding and Damages with Swift Action in Fort Pierce North Residences

Crawlspaces can be a challenging area of your home to reach and recover after natural flooding concerns. Many of the houses in the area not constructed on concrete slabs feature this accessible area for a hub of utilities. When flooding occurs, immediate action is required to avoid damage to the main structure.

How Can Standing Water Get Removed? 

The accessibility of standing water after flood damage to Fort Pierce North homes is one of the main obstacles for responding technicians. Confined space and tighter areas require a combination of multiple extractors in our fleet and inventory, including:

• Truck extractors
• Wet vacuums
• High-pressure pumps
• Trash pumps

Is Encapsulation Worth the Money? 

One of the most valuable considerations for homeowners after flooding in a crawlspace is possible encapsulation. With a general contractor license, we can furnish permanent solutions to prevent further water penetration into this crawl space beneath the property and redirecting water that otherwise would have damaged the structure. If flooding is a persistent concern for your home, this can save money against much more significant structural damage and mold growth concerns later. 

With how destructive flooding can be, many have trusted the fast response of our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team to help. We are available 24/7 at (772) 362-7060.

How Does Carpet Cleaning Begin After Fire Damage in Fort Pierce South Properties?

7/19/2021 (Permalink)

Even if the fire is contained, smoke and soot can damage flooring materials far from the blaze.

Cleaning and Restoration Services Improve the Look of Damaged Carpets in Fort Pierce South Residences

Flooring of all types can often be heavily damaged by migrating fire loss effects, including soot particles and smoke. Porous flooring elements like installed carpeting can rapidly absorb odors and soot effects, requiring immediate attention to prevent uninstallation. 

Can Carpets Get Preserved After Soot Damage? 

There are multiple considerations for affected flooring after fire damage in Fort Pierce South homes or businesses. Because of carpet fibers and overall porosity, various effects can threaten this flooring type to require immediate attention when possible after extinguishment. Several actions can make a primary difference in carpeting preservability from extraction to deodorization, including deluxe cleaning with hot water extraction units.

Is Deodorization Necessary After Cleaning? 

Even with cleaning the carpets with potent detergents and other practices, fire recovery often still requires some form of deodorization. Anticipating the return of smoke odors with temperature changes ensures that measures to neutralize and eliminate harsh smells have already occurred before they become an issue. Some options for this include: 

• Odor counteractant products
• HEPA vacuums
• Thermal fogging
• Hydroxyl generators
  

Structure fires do not provide a long timeline before irreparable harm occurs to building materials and structural elements. The fast response of our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team can ensure features like carpeting are protected when possible. Give us a call at (772) 362-7060.

What Dehumidifier is Best for Water-Damaged Fort Pierce North Homes?

7/14/2021 (Permalink)

Our climate can create moisture and condensation in the home, resulting in water damage.

Our Team has Multiple Moisture Removal Devices to Help Fort Pierce North Properties

Because of how severely moisture can spread through porous materials and open areas of a house, appropriate dehumidification tools can be vital in restoring the damage. Arriving with an assortment of mitigation equipment can help restoration work to begin as soon as possible.

What Types of Dehumidifiers Get Used? 

Several dehumidification units can be used when addressing water damage in Fort Pierce North homes or businesses. Because the conditions of these structures can change so dramatically from one to the next, having multiple types of moisture removal options can help. We use:

• LGR – Low Grain Refrigerant
• Desiccants
• Conventional Refrigerants

Is a Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) Dehumidifier Best for Warm Conditions?

The LGR units for dehumidification are among the most heavily used, especially in coastal Florida. Because of how warm and humid conditions are throughout the year, these machines are specifically constructed to reach a lower grains per pound (gpp) level than traditional dehumidifiers or standard refrigerant units. Instead of 45-55 gpp, LGR dehumidifiers can reach 35 gpp for even drier conditions.

Choosing the right equipment can often make the difference in how efficiently and completely homes get restored after flooding and water damage. Our SERVPRO of Fort Piece NE team can help with fast responses and powerful equipment when you call (772) 362-7060.

Cut Back on Fire Damage Restoration and Loss in Port Saint Lucie with Easy Tips From SERVPRO

Fires are dangerous, but they are also costly for any business. Even with commercial insurance, you have fire and smoke damage to think about where the cleanup process lengthens downtime. You can get your Port Saint Lucie commercial property back on track faster with water & fire damage restorations performed by SERVPRO.

During fire damage restoration in Port Saint Lucie, the SERVPRO team addresses the indoor air quality (IAQ) within the building and other areas impacted by fire damage.

Until we arrive on the scene to assess the fire and smoke damage, we suggest:

• Do not enter your building unless it is necessary. NEVER enter until first responders on the scene deem it is safe to do so.
• Limit movement throughout your business to cut back on tracking of soot and smoke particles.
• In areas you cannot avoid, always keep your hands clean and wear foot coverings. Soot residue on hands and feet makes it harder for our crew to address high-traffic areas.
• Shut off the HVAC system for your business to keep odorous particulates from traveling into unaffected zones.

Depending on the fire damage throughout your business, we adjust our cleaning methods accordingly. Some of the types of smoke residue we encounter include:

• Dry smoke –This is fast burning and produced at high temperatures, caused by burning wood or paper.
• Wet smoke –This develops at a lower, smoldering temperature, producing a sticky residue from burning rubber or plastic.

What Materials Are Most Directly Damaged by Water in Port St. Lucie Homes?

5/26/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO teams have the tools and experience you need to handle water damages on your property.

Some Materials Require Removal and Replacement in Port St. Lucie After Water Damage. 

Several installed materials can become directly and heavily damaged after situations like burst pipes or ceiling leaks, including:

• Trim – For water damage in Port St. Lucie, the trim and baseboards can be among the first materials directly impacted. SERVPRO professionals can quickly uninstall this exposed material from drywall using a putty knife and other approaches.

• Flooring – Carpeting can often be heavily damaged by spreading moisture and water damage effects. This top layer gets detached from a tack strip to remove padding without further damage to the carpet.

• Walls – Drywall can absorb moisture fast but does not always require controlled demolition. Centrifugal air movers can promote evaporation whenpossible.

Does SERVPRO Conduct Controlled Demolition?

A contractor license permits our team to offer controlled demolition when materials become destroyed by standing/spreading water. We can also provide necessary reconstruction services after water restoration.

Water damage restoration for Fort Pierce businesses can often rely on how well negative pressure can be maintained. By running air filtration equipment and exhausting these machines outside of the property, dehumidification and moisture removal are more efficient processes. Because high humidity can destroy documents and wares in your facility, the placement of equipment to create negative pressure is vital to balancing principles that maximize the production of drying equipment, such as:

• Centrifugal air movers
• Axial air movers
• Floor drying mats  
• towed-in desiccant dehumidifiers for large jobs

Multiple practices help manage moisture concerns to get your business back up and running after a water damage emergency. Our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team can help with efficient drying and cleaning solutions “Like it never even happened.” Call us today at (772) 362-7060.

Out of pocket costs to repair water damaged property

Here are some common problems that are typically not covered by a standard homeowners insurance policy:

Water ruins property due to floods, hurricanes or high tides like in Florida. Flood damage and storm surge damage are excluded from standard home insurance policies. If you want coverage for floods, you will need to buy a separate flood insurance policy.

Water damage from swimming pools or fountains.

Water damage due to lack of maintenance or negligence, such as not repairing a plumbing problem.

Water damage from “earth movement” like a sink hole, earthquake or landslide. For example, if your pipe burst because of an earthquake, the water damage most likely will not be covered. If you want coverage for earthquake destruction, you will need to buy a separate earthquake insurance policy.

Water damage that backs up through a sewer or drain. (Unless you have purchased special coverage for this problem.)

Water damage from seepage or leaks through a foundation.
