Benefits for Boynton Beach Mold Damage Remediation

6/6/2022 (Permalink)

Finding mold on the walls of your Boynton Beach home can be stressful. Call us at SERVPRO to quickly come out and remediate the damage.

SERVPRO Mold Cleanup Techniques Can Help Boynton Beach Homeowners Lessen Loss

When Boynton Beach homeowners discover a mold infestation in their home, it is not unusual to find out they jumped on the Internet and looked up various DIY methods for handling the situation. The mold usually benefits most from this action because those home remedy methods for mold growth typically have little to no effect. A common myth is bleach and water can end the problem. Regarding this often-suggested solution, nothing could be further from the truth; not only can bleach ruin surfaces, but it also will not eradicate the issue, which is usually linked to a leak or other moisture issue within the structure. 

SERVPRO technicians know that mold spores occur naturally inside and outside Boynton Beach properties. Mold damage occurs when these spores encounter ideal humidity levels and germinate on a surface. Once active, the issue can spread rapidly throughout the home, including the ductwork. Using a professional restoration service company ensures that the spore populations within the property get reduced to safe levels that are harmless due to low interior humidity levels. 

Does Mold Damage Remediation Clean Existing Colonies?

When a homeowner sees mold growing on a wall, there is often a much larger problem lurking behind the scenes. SERVPRO technicians have comprehensive training to do more than simply clean visible mold colonies. The techs also:

• Have heavy mold mitigation training 
• Use of EPA-registered solutions for surface cleaning
• Containment procedures to inhibit cross-contamination 

Typical Ways Mold Damage Impacts Residential Properties

When spores settle within a property, the germination does not usually occur until the right conditions are in place. This means the spores need poor ventilation, elevated humidity levels over 50% on a near-constant level, and preferred warm temps. Likely places to see early signs of a mold infestation are:

• Cardboard boxes
• Drywall is a favorite snack because of its paperboard surfaces
• Subfloors and untreated plywood behind shower enclosures

Signs of Mold Damage

When homeowners notice a damp area in a room or a constant musty odor that never diminishes, the presence of mold damage should be considered. Microbes can grow and thrive on wood and concrete and can cause deterioration to structural elements if not neutralized through professional remediation. 

SERVPRO Performs Mold Remediation Using Advanced Applications

Among the technicians' various tools and equipment is a host of professional EPA-registered cleaning agents specifically formulated to handle microbes and bacteria. The techs handle mold remediation according to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) protocols. There are multiple ways to apply the various biocide and antimicrobial solutions, ranging from spraying, fogging, or manual application with clothes or laser targeting areas with mold using syringes filled with cleaner. 

Will the Mold Return?

SERVPRO technicians take steps during the professional mold damage remediation service to inhibit the return of the problem for the homeowner. Mold growth within an area of a home is almost always indicative of a more significant issue within the structure sustaining the colony. The technicians can diagnose the cause of the mold infestation and show the homeowner the steps or repairs necessary to eliminate the conditions assisting the mold as it spreads and thrives within the structure. 

Boynton Beach residents trust SERVPRO of Boynton Beach at (561) 861-2537 for all their mold damage remediation needs. The techs arrive quickly and do a thorough job turning around a home through cleanup and restoration services.

Never Let Mold Damage Get Out of Control in Boynton Beach

If you discover mold in your home, you can trust the professionals at SERVPRO to remediate the damage thoroughly and efficiently.

Rely on Thorough and Effective Mold Remediation Specialists

Finding mold in your Boynton Beach home can be scary, bringing many questions to mind that you need to answer sooner rather than later. It helps to have someone on your side that you know understands the situation and can help you get through it.

If you have mold damage on your Boynton Beach property, it is essential to find a mold remediation company you trust as soon as possible. Mold has the potential to cause health effects on your family. Besides, it is always better to take a proactive approach to deal with mold damage situations in your home.

Mold can exist anywhere; it only takes a little while for growth to spread through a significant portion of your home. Additional problems can form, causing damage to your walls, ceilings, insulation, wiring, appliances, carpeting, and even the structural integrity of your home. SERVPRO has mold remediation services performed by IICRC trained professionals that take the guesswork out of the entire situation. 

You can attempt to clean smaller areas without calling a professional. However, you need to remember that you likely have a more significant problem hiding underneath if you can visibly see mold growth. You may find yourself facing more than you can handle. 

Also, you should know that most home cleaning products, even those that say they specifically handle mold removal, do not work, not entirely. SERVPRO’s technicians use chemical products on a limited basis, relying on physical methods to dispose of and transport contaminated materials out of your home.

We also use EPA-registered disinfectants to clean and reclean the entire area after saturated and infected materials are gone. SERVPRO team members use plastic sheeting, negative airflow machines, and a complete hands-on approach to regain control. We use specialized equipment to test the air repeatedly throughout your remediation process to ensure a clean, safe environment for you and your family.

What Makes Professional Boynton Beach Mold Remediation Effective?

Mold remediation for your property is no DIY project. SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians have all the training needed.

Boynton Beach SERVPRO Mold Remediation Techs Save Homes with Tools and Knowledge

While small amounts of mold are a natural part of any indoor or outdoor space, all it takes is one incident to create excess spore proliferation. This growth can quickly impact the comfort of a Boynton Beach living space and potentially cause health effects for occupants. Fast-acting remediation professionals can stop further damage and help homeowners save time and money.

Mold remediation from Boynton Beach SERVPRO technicians can respond to homeowners' calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Commercial-grade restoration tools can eliminate excess spores and bring mold populations down to pre-disaster levels while addressing the factors that caused the population to grow in the first place. 

SERVPRO Technologies Are Tailored to Fight Microbial Growth

SERVPRO's repertoire of mold remediation tools offers thorough cleanup and extensive flexibility to address a wide array of residential cleanup needs.

• HEPA-filter vacuums and air scrubbers work together to establish negative air pressure in a mold-affected area and collect spores as small as 0.3 microns in size. Negative air pressure in a properly sealed place prevents spores from floating through doorways and vents and proliferating elsewhere in the home
• Axial and centrifugal air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers are essential components of the remediation process. These devices collaborate to pull excess moisture that can contribute to mold growth off surfaces and into the air. Dehumidifiers pass this humid air over refrigerant coils or desiccants to isolate water for collection and removal. These units then expel warm, dry air, which prevents further mold growth
• EPA-registered biocides can be applied manually or with sprayers, injectors, and other solutions to preserve restorable mold-affected property

Property owners seeking "Like it never even happened" quality restoration can call (561) 559-5742 for remediation services from SERVPRO of Boynton Beach 24/7.

Is Mold Damage Remediation Effective in Boynton Beach Homes?

1/7/2022 (Permalink)

Mold spreads quickly when the conditions are right. Contact SERVPRO to investigate the cause and remediate the damage in your home.

Sustainability Is Why SERVPRO Offers Mold Remediation Services in Boynton Beach

The climate in our region is tropical, with high humidity and yearly rainfall totals nearly double that of the US average, making Boynton Beach mold damage remediation services a constant need. Discussing the goals and process of mold remediation with your service contractor is critical. Transform your mindset from an uncomfortable acceptance of chronic nature mold damage to embracing a sustainable management and inhibition plan.

Why Does SERVPRO Stress Remediation Over Mere Mold Removal?

We adhere to the US standard for mold remediation developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Moving through the EPA’s process resolves current mold outbreaks and, perhaps more importantly, stresses proactive strategies to avoid or at least minimize the regrowth of mold spores post-remediation. Mold spores are endemic inside Boynton Beach residences, although spores by themselves cause few problems. When spores absorb water, their growth cycle commences. The EPA recognizes that managing moisture is key when minimizing black mold and other microbial infestations, which is why SERVPRO aligns our practices with its recommendations.

The EPA Protocols Are Public -- Why SERVPRO Rather Than DIY Efforts?

First and foremost, our mastery and implementation of water damage restoration tactics provide the moisture management baseline vital to reducing mold growth risk. Second, successful mold inspections, remediations, and removal require training, experience, and specialized equipment. Our living area, attic, and bathroom remediation crews possess all of those prerequisites, underlying why SERVPRO’s certified technicians can complete the protocol efficiently and without delay. We have an extensive inventory of:

• Personal protective equipment (PPE)

• Workplace containment materials and air scrubbers for technician and occupant safety

• Tools for mechanical mold removal, including controlled blasting machinery and HEPA filter-equipped vacuums

• EPA-registered cleaners and antimicrobials to clear residues and inhibit rebound mold damage

Our commitment to research-based solutions is why SERVPRO of Boynton Beach follows the successful EPA mold abatement model. Call (561) 559-5742 to schedule an assessment leading to a solution.

What Damaged Materials Could Require Replacement After Water Damage in Boynton Beach?

10/15/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO has the experienced technicians with the equipment and expertise your home needs after a water catastrophe. Give us a call right away.

Our Team can Help Through Traditional Water Damage Restoration and Controlled Demolition/Replacement when Necessary. 

Understanding the repair and reconstruction levels that often must accompany the restoration of water damages in Boynton Beach homes and businesses is critical to appreciate the scope of the recovery process. Many times, choosing a water restoration company only gives you access to restorers that can extract standing water and begin drying the property, but that is not the extent of what the structure needs. With our SERVPRO of Boynton Beach team, you get experienced restorers alongside competent building trade professionals for repairs and rebuilding. 

When you consider the extent of water damage repair that Boynton Beach homes often need after situations like a pipe burst, you must think of not just the damaged elements but also accessing moist areas for efficient drying. Controlled demolition is a powerful tool in restoration and recovery, as this can provide our technicians immediate access to areas that require extraction and drying while giving our general contractors the space to repair damaged portions of the plumbing lines. Because utilities like the water lines are often hidden between the floors and walls, any plumbing concern can compromise several construction materials in the house.

Do Water Disasters Commonly Damage Walls? 

While multiple areas of your residence can fall victim to substantial water damages, wall systems are often among the first grouping of construction materials to get damaged. Elements that make up entire wall systems are the closest to the bare or insulated water lines tucked neatly in the wall, so a break in one of these lines can thoroughly saturate these immediate structural components until you can turn the main supply of water off to the property. Wall systems are often comprised of four main elements:

• Drywall
• Insulation
• Wood Framing
• Utilities 

While there are drying practices that can promote evaporative drying in wall cavities, the materials closest to the breach must often be removed to repair the waterline. These wall systems can get replaced entirely once the now exposed structural cavity gets dried with centrifugal air movers and positive pressure systems. 

Do Floors Get Affected the Worst with Water Damage? 

Because of water’s natural tendency to pool along the ground surfaces, flooring material is often the most heavily exposed after a substantial damage incident. Standing water collects on flooring and can begin penetrating these materials immediately. While some elements are often nearly impermeable, most of the flooring in your home, such as carpeting and wood planks, are vulnerable to absorption and subsequent degradation and deterioration. 

• Carpeting – Carpets can begin to immediately absorb standing water and pose a substantial threat to subflooring material beneath the padding layer, which is often plywood or OSB board. Heavy saturation usually requires the removal of the carpet and padding to protect this underlying support.  

• Wood Plank Flooring – The cellulose present in natural wood flooring can be a catalyst for water absorption that can allow for warping and distortion of planks. Our professionals can remove just the damaged planks to reduce the costs and time with replacing flooring. 

• Tile – Ceramic tile is often among the most impermeable surface materials for water. However, when cracks and damage to the grouted joints already exist, water penetration can get underneath the tile and pop them loose.

How Do Ceiling Materials Become Damaged? 

Since water lines can be stored between the first and second floors to make transitions to a second bathroom or other fixtures on this level, the potential for a break in these areas cannot be ruled out entirely. Spraying water or direct water flow can quickly overwhelm the exposed structural elements surrounding the waterline, such as the floor supports and cross beams for the second story and the drywall and insulation above the first story. It is often not challenging to identify when even a persistent leak on this line has developed, as drywall can quickly exhibit signs of oversaturation and damage such as bloating and swelling. Some signs that you can look for include:

• Oversaturation/Dripping
• Sagging Surface Materials 
• Collapse 

Substantial water disasters in residence require more than just our competent and knowledgeable restoration professionals to overcome. Our talented general contractors can help with repairs and build-back necessary for the property after water restoration, and mitigation stages are complete. You can count on the fast response of our SERVPRO of Boynton Beach team for mitigation and emergency services like a controlled demolition and water line repair.

Mold Damage Remediation in Boynton Beach

When SERVPRO remediates mold, we always check for hidden growth. Contact SERVPRO promptly for remediation and to help prevent additional mold.

Why Choose SERVPRO Technicians to Remediate and Reconstruct Your Mold Damaged Property

Particularly in the South, many people falsely think that mold infestations are a fault of their housekeeping. Because of that, many try to hide the visual effects by painting over signs of mold and use air fresheners to cover the distinctive odor. 

Mold damage to Boynton Beach homes and elsewhere in Florida happens only when mold spores find themselves with enough moisture to expand and a sufficient food source to grow and spread throughout a home. Without these two factors in place, mold spores are inert and harmless. SERVPRO is ready to rebuild and restore a home to its pre-infestation condition when they are no longer harmless. 

Mold Removal

After removing the infestation, our construction technicians get to work. The first step is to perform an additional inspection to ensure we know the location of every compromised column, support beam, and wall frame. For load-bearing walls and columns, we bring in temporary jacks and lifts to maintain structural integrity. 

After removing the compromised wood, we replace each piece with treated timber and boards that are more resistant to mold. Each piece we use meets both state environmental and EPA requirements. Since our office is a licensed contractor, we accomplish this in-house and pass any savings to our customers. With everything in place, hanging new drywall for the entire house takes 2 or 3 days. 

Now that we have a secure structure, technicians move to the roof. Mold proliferates into plywood and across every type of roofing tile. Our work crews can strip and remove the most damaged roofs in a single day. They replace new roofing panels and begin laying new tiles over another day or two. Depending on the size of the roof and the number of personnel we use, completion of a new roof takes another 3-5 days. 

With a new roof overhead, we turn to the floor. Our technicians are highly trained and experienced when it comes to installing new wood floors. If the customer requests that we stain or paint the floor, we perform that task as well. If the requirement is to replace a carpet, we have personnel specializing in stretching and installing new carpets across a mold-free concrete slab or that newly installed wood. 

Regardless if your mold problem is in a new home that suffered a major plumbing issue or in an older home that may have been unoccupied for some time, SERVPRO of Boynton Beach is here to help. Our services extend from cleaning to removal to a complete rebuild if that is what it takes. Call today at (561) 413-9754 to get started.

SERVPRO has the tools and skill to bring your home back from water damages "Like it never even happened."

Trust SERVPRO for Fast Response and Water Removal

Almost all homeowners delay some home repairs and routine maintenance. Waiting often causes no real harm and allows your budget a bit of flexibility. Damage caused by water incursion is an exception. Every day that passes without responding to water damage risks grave and costly secondary issues. SERVPRO is your trusted partner in attending to these problems immediately.

Dealing with water damage to your Boynton Beach retirement condo is rarely your preferred activity. Timely response to a roof leak or appliance mishap is a proper use of precious moments here at the Gateway of the Gulfstream, even when it cuts into your well-earned relaxation time. Failing to eliminate the leak or repair the malfunction just re-exposes your home to the devastation water inflicts. Our highly qualified team of water damage specialists gets you back to your leisure-time activities fast, after abating both the source and damage done by leaks or flooding.

Thorough Water Damage Restoration

Failing to restore water damage risks permanent structural damage and the ruin of fixtures and personal belongings. Modern building materials usually consist of pressed wood and drywall rather than hardwood and plaster. This type of construction absorbs water quickly, swelling and eventually disintegrating. The cellulose in the materials provides nourishment to microbial activity, including mold colonies activated by the moisture. SERVPRO offers quick and effective solutions to limit this damage.

Carpeting repeatedly allowed to absorb up water can stretch and buckle or show signs of delamination, where the fibers detach from the backing. Other fabrics like draperies and upholstery discolor and risk mold infestation when water infiltrates. Wood, laminate, and tile floors also suffer damage when water-soaked.

SERVPRO realizes how important a speedy intervention is to stop the destruction of water damage. We arrive within hours of your first call with trained technicians and all the equipment on the truck necessary to extract water and complete drying. In many condo buildings, there is the threat of vertical migration of water which can negatively impact other units. Speed in terminating the source of the water intrusion and extraction are critical to mitigate water damage to the structure and contents.

Make the call quickly to SERVPRO of Boynton Beach to prevent ongoing water damage. We are available 24/7 for an immediate response. (561) 413-9754

Boynton Beach Fire Damage Restoration Expectations

When you experience fire damage in your home, call the experts at SERVPRO for assistance right away.

SERVPRO Helps Remove Damaged Materials and Manage Odors As Part of Fire Restoration

When a fire starts in an upper story at your Boynton home, the damage can spread all over the property even when fire crews manage to stop it before it consumes the entire structure. For instance, smoke can concentrate on the lower floors leaving residues and a bad odor. Fire crews might also tear down the insulation from the walls on the lower floor to contain the fire. 

The fire damage restoration process in your Boynton home must address the issues caused by the fire as well as any actions taken by the fire crews. You are at an advantage when the restoration team you choose can handle all aspects of the damage. SERVPRO provides teams with several technicians who can remove debris, rebuild torn down areas, clean soiled materials and deodorize the entire property.

Fire Restorations Can Involve a Wide Range of Activities Like:

• Fire and smoke damage
• Water & fire damage restorations
• Smoke damage
• House fire clean up

Since the damage is rarely the same on different floors in a storied house, a clear action plan is necessary. Our SERVPRO crew chiefs begin the restoration process by inspecting the entire building to determine what needs to be done in the different areas.  

In many cases, we must strip off all the electrical cabling since the heat is likely to compromise their integrity. We also remove any remaining finishes, such as wallpaper and charred trim. Removing these materials ensures that once restoration is complete, all traces of the damage are eliminated “Like it never even happened.”

The Property Needs Deodorization, and Various Methods Can Help, Including:

• Thermal fogging
• Applying sealers
• Cleaning with odor counteracts
• Using activated oxygen

SERVPRO of Boynton Beach has enough resources to address any fire damage restoration exercise. Call us at (561) 413-9754. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Life in Boynton Beach Combines the Best of Suburban Living with Big City Offerings

Boynton Beach enjoys the greater Miami metropolitan area's benefits, but like most of Palm Beach County, it adds its flavor to it. The city owes its name to Nathan Boynton's vision, who first arrived in the area in 1894, before the arrival of the railroad. From Michigan, Boynton couldn’t help but be impressed by the sunshine and beauty that surrounded him, so he proceeded to build the Boynton Hotel. Many of the early settlers also hailed from Michigan and thoroughly enjoyed the fruits and vegetables that grew so easily in the Sunshine State.  Boynton Beach owes much of its growth to the Seaboard Air Line Railway and the trade it made possible.

The area itself became the primary milk supplier for the surrounding county until the 1970s when housing developments took over farming lands. Today, the city continues to grow and enjoy its connection with nature. Most notably, Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park, close to where the Boynton Hotel used to be, provides entertainment and recreation to visitors and residents of all ages. The Park is a short bike ride from downtown or a 20-minute walk.

Palm Beach is increasingly a destination for businesses, especially given the opportunities provided to small and medium-sized enterprises. Housing options abound, and Boynton Beach is accessible thanks to its proximity to several airports and access via terrestrial transit. Most of its economy centers around healthcare, retail, and hospitality and is within the South Florida market share, representing about 6.5 million people. Housing is among the most affordable in the area, and its population is quite diverse.

Visitors to Boynton Beach can experience the Florida charm by merely walking down to one-of-a-kind restaurants and shops and rejoicing in the smell of the ocean and the warm breeze. 

The area is also growing in relevance for the brewing industry, and craft breweries offer unique flavors to those who visit. Some of the most famous local breweries include-

• Twisted Trunk Brewing in Palm Beach Gardens
• West Palm Beach Brewery & Wine Vault in downtown West Palm Beach 
• Due South Brewing in Boynton Beach

If your palate wants to visit more than one brewery, you can always explore a beer-tasting tour or visit the Ale Trail of the Palm Beaches. As much as the city has changed, it remains attractive to all who work, live, and play in it.

Is the water too close to your Boynton Beach home?

As much as we love being close to the water, that doesn’t mean we want water seeping into our floors or soaking our furniture. Whenever there is a leak in a home, you are at risk of escalating issues if left unattended. Reaching out to a professional team like SERVPRO is the most sensible and efficient way to address each of the consequences a water event can leave in its wake.

SERVPRO Focuses On Underlying Issues during Fire Restoration to Guarantee Boynton Beach Homeowners the Right Outcome.

Cleanup and other renovations are necessary after a fire incident affects your property. In case the damage seems minimal, you might be unsure whether to hire a professional restorer or rely on local solutions such as handymen. SERVPRO helps deliver convenient restoration services in Boynton Beach, eliminating any doubts you might have.

How different is fire restoration by a professional Boynton Beach firm?

Fire restoration takes more than fixing apparent issues such as the replacement of scorched materials and cleaning of affected areas. There might be hidden problems at the loss site, which can lead to problems in the future or even pose risks to anyone working at the site.  Our SERVPRO technicians follow a comprehensive restoration approach that addresses all issues. The process involves steps such as:

• Assessing the degree of damage to materials 
• Water removal or moisture management
• Isolation of unsafe areas
• Smoke and soot removal

What sort of assessment is necessary for fire damaged properties?

Although the effects of heat, smoke, and other combustion processes are readily identifiable, it is crucial to evaluate the loss site before starting the restoration. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate issues such as:

• The depth of charring 
• Residue spread patterns 
• Moisture levels in different sections of the house

Evaluating the loss helps determine which areas to prioritize and the resources necessary to complete the renovation. The evaluation also reveals risky areas such as unstable sections of the structure that might collapse during restoration. Sufficient information helps our SERVPRO technicians tailor the restoration process to suit the conditions created by the fire incident, thus delivering better outcomes.

SERVPRO of Boynton Beach strives to fix fire damage, "Like it never even happened." Call us at (561) 413-9754 to help.

You can Rely on SERVPRO to Restore and Repair Destruction Caused by Smoke and Fire in Boynton Beach

Property damage from a fire falls into several types. There is the material wholly or partially consumed by the flames, and more damage occurs thanks to the heat of the fire and the smoke residues generated by burning property and building materials. Firefighters cause further damage with the water or other extinguishing chemicals they use to put out the fire.  

Most fire damage to a Boynton Beach home comes from heat and smoke residues on the structure and personal property. Even with this category, there are three levels of fire damage. SERVPRO has developed this scale over decades of experience in the restoration business. Understanding the severity helps us determine which methods of cleaning are going to work the best.  

Minor Damage – At this level, smoke residues only affect a few rooms or areas, not the entire house. The amount is light to moderate. Technicians use dry and wet cleaning methods for walls, floors, ceilings, and the contents of the home. Repainting is minimal, and only minor items like newspapers, books, and perhaps some clothing require replacing. We eliminate most smoke odors during cleaning.  

Medium Damage – The residue levels here are at least moderate and over a more substantial home area. More materials need wet cleaning to remove the residues. Repainting is necessary for larger areas of the home, and more items need replacement as well. Smoke odors are more noticeable at this level, and certain items may require deodorization after we finish cleaning. There may be heat damage to cabinets and drywall, and wood floors may need refinishing.  

Significant Damage – This is where fire and heat harm the framing and other structural supports of the home. Smoke residues are throughout the house, and odors are not only powerful but pungent. Our IICRC industry certified SERVPRO technicians might have to board up doors and windows to prevent further damage from the weather or trespassers. The property we can clean and restore must be taken outside the home to do so, and deodorization is a must at this level. We have a unique Pack-Out Service for storing and cleaning possessions at our HQ's. 

Why Hire SERVPRO To Manage Fire Odor In Boynton Beach

After a fire incident in your property, one of the main problems you are likely to grapple with is bad odor and air quality issues. As a fire burns, it emits smoke, a combination of gases, particles, and aerosols. While the gases and a small percentage of the residues dissipate into the air and filter out of the building, the rest adhere to surfaces leading to the bad odors experienced after fire incidents. We have highly trained FSRT, Fire and Smoke Restoration Technicians, who can help you deal with the bad smells. 

One aspect that helps the management of fire odor in Boynton Beach is the identification and removal of smoke residues. The advanced training our SERVPRO technicians receive helps them accomplish this effortlessly because we understand how residues accumulate.

Concealed areas tend to be cooler, so convection currents that drive smoke force accumulation of deposits. Identifying and cleaning all hidden areas that hold such residue, including HVAC systems, helps eliminate odors. 

Apart from the deposits on surfaces, odor-causing particles also penetrate different materials depending on factors such as the natural porosity of the item, or the intensity of the fire. Hotter fires open pores in materials leading to deeper penetration. Our SERVPRO technicians undergo training on how to neutralize such odors using agents that sanitize, digest, or neutralize odor particles. Using ULV foggers is one of our preferred delivery methods for such agents. 

Sometimes the source of the odor might not be easy to pinpoint. It could emanate from aerosols left in the air or light smoke residues spread all over the property. Such cases might require different approaches. Our SERVPRO technicians use HEPA filtered air scrubbers with activated carbon and potassium permanganate filters to remove dirt, gases, and odor particles from the air. We also use Ozone machines that release unstable oxygen molecules that oxidize odor particles, neutralizing them. 

Each level of damage needs a professional agency to ensure completion of restoration in a timely and cost-effective manner. SERVPRO of Boynton Beach has the experience, training, and equipment to clean, repair, and restore your home to a livable condition again, "Like it never even happened." If you need our services, call today at (561) 413-9754.

Why Quickly Removing Standing Water is Necessary to Minimize Damage to Boynton Beach Homes

1/30/2020 (Permalink)

When you experience a water loss event, removing the excess water is a priority. SERVPRO has the tools to remove the water from your home.

Removing Standing Surface Water Quickly in Boynton Beach Homes 

Successful restoration of a water loss incident in Boynton Beach homes depends on the premier equipment used by our SERVPRO professionals. We strive to provide the most efficient possible recovery of damaged property, and that is why We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. Once we arrive at the water loss, we have a wide array of quality tools and equipment to get the situation under control. 

Water removal for Boynton Beach homes can utilize multiple extraction tools in our inventory. While standing water is one of the primary concerns after a substantial water loss incident like a burst pipe, this is not the only moisture and dampness that must get addressed. Regardless of the water damage to get removed from the premises, we have the appropriate tools for the task. 

Submersible Pumps 

When our SERVPRO team must contend with more than two inches of standing water in your residence, we can employ a variety of submersible pumps to help. Often the ideal solution is the electric submersible pump, as it can provide the longest discharge line without losing suction. However, some factors might encourage the use of our gas-powered trash pumps or engine-driven truck extractors. 

Weighted Extractors 

Specialty tools can help us to contend with saturated flooring materials like carpets by bringing moisture to the surface. The onboard vacuum can remove moisture from fibers and padding by using the weight of our technicians standing on the unit's extraction. 

Wands 

Wands can help to remove surface water when its height drops below two inches. At this point, submersible pumps are no longer practical removal tools, and wands connected to extractors can remove surface pooling as well as provide a more intricate moisture removal approach for carpets when the padding is to get removed. 

Water removal is an integral part of the mitigation service we offer damaged homes in the area after water loss incidents. Using different tools and techniques, our SERVPRO of Boynton Beach team can make these losses, "Like it never even happened." Contact us today at (561) 413-9754.

Mold Damage Remediation In Your Boynton Beach Home

1/12/2020 (Permalink)

Call us at (561) 413-9754 to set up a consultation today.

Why SERVPRO Goes Beyond with Our Boynton Beach Mold Damage Remediation

There are at least two ways to manage mold growth issues in your Boynton Beach home. Some residents wearily expect periodic flare-ups of mold issues given our yearly rainfall of twice the national average, and humidity measured over 70 percent year-round. They handle mold clean up as a routine maintenance task. This pessimistic viewpoint leads many homeowners to forego professional help. Our comprehensive approach to mold remediation can minimize recurrence, why our customers rely on our expertise.

Understanding the Anatomy of a Mold Outbreak
Mold damage in Boynton Beach is a frequent problem because of the moisture load potential in our homes. Mold spores are always present, awaiting the opportunity to absorb a bit of water to fuel their growth into rapidly multiplying colonies. Standing water, damp building materials or contents, and even interior relative humidity (RH) of over 60 percent contribute to mold growth when available for at least 24 to 48 hours. No mold remediation service can promise the removal of all spores. Nevertheless, our extensive knowledge of water damage and lingering moisture and humidity problems are why we can deliver not only the removal of a current outbreak but also strategies to limit future infestations. Moisture management is the key.

Expect a Thorough Inspection and On-Point Moisture Mitigation
Mold damage makes itself known with visible organisms and musty smells. What you cannot see with your eyes or evaluate through smell, however, also contributes to chronic mold problems. Our remediation crews arm themselves with knowledge gleaned from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) coursework and on the job experience. The competence our managers and technicians have extends beyond mere mold remediation. We also are relentless moisture damage detectives, seeking out building materials both in the open and in cavities that retain enough water to feed mold. Our capability to remove water and dry out spaces is why SERVPRO’s mold remediation services offer a more sustainable outcome.

Humidity Hurdles Conquered
Excessive humidity poses a mold damage rebound opportunity. Our remediation services include practical advice on how to lower RH in your home permanently, why SERVPRO helps inhibit persistent regrowth. We recommend, among other things:

    •    Review of your air conditioning needs and the operation of your current system -- make sure sufficient dehumidification is occurring in balance with temperature reduction
    •    Consistent use of exhaust fans in spaces where we expect higher humidity -- kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, rooms with many houseplants

A moisture-management approach is why SERVPRO of Boynton Beach brings viable and long-lasting mold remediation results to our customers. Call us at (561) 413-9754 to set up a consultation today.

When mold damage rears its ugly head, contact SERVPRO of Boynton Beach at (561) 413-9754.

Mold Damage in Boynton Beach Homes (And What to Do About It)

Most people never consider that microscopic airborne mold spores are present both indoors and outdoors at all times unless you have air filtration and purification equipment running in your home. And even those devices are not 100% effective at eliminating the potential for mold damage in your house.

When conditions are right for germination, mold damage sets up rapidly in Boynton Beach homes. It spreads anywhere there is something organic to consume, such as sheetrock or wood-based materials (paper is a favorite).

Why SERVPRO
Mold infestations are not something that goes away on its own or with the application of home remedies such as vinegar and water or bleach. The technicians at SERVPRO have extensive training in the remediation of mold damage and how to halt the conditions favorable for the germination and growth of spores without the danger of spreading them during abatement.

Careful Removal of Damage Items
When sheetrock or items have mold, they have no potential for restoration and require removal and disposal. The techs carefully catalog each part of the remediation process, including items requiring discarding. They are careful to document the damage with photos and a detailed report so the homeowner can expedite the insurance claim if filing for a loss.

Determination of Cause
SERVPRO techs scope the property. If there hasn't been recent water damage or a known leak repaired, they locate the source of the mold-favorable conditions and recommend the course of action needed to the property owner. Common reasons are slow leaks from plumbing or hot water tanks. Attics are another place mold growth starts, and it can be from a hole in the roof or a malfunctioning exhaust system allowing the steam from showers in the home to get trapped in the attic rather than expelled.

When mold damage rears its ugly head, contact SERVPRO of Boynton Beach at (561) 413-9754. The technicians have the equipment and experience to handle any size mold infestation and return your home to its pre-damage condition, “Like it never even happened.”

Our Experts Discuss Mold Prevention And Remediation In Boynton Beach

No matter how we can help, give our team a call when you need us at (561) 413-9754.

Mold Prevention and Remediation for Boynton Beach Homes

Water loss incidents can often have a direct impact on the development of mold colonies in Boynton Beach residences. While spores exist naturally in almost every environment, the improper management of saturation and moisture can offer a food source to these microorganisms to sit and thrive into organic host materials. Some steps can get taken initially to help make surfaces and materials uninhabitable to mold development.

Cleaning products used by our SERVPRO professionals can help to regulate mold damage in Boynton Beach homes. Remediation tactics are often generally faster and more successful when preliminary steps have been taken to reduce the growth and spread of this organism. Microbes can be even more heightened and readily colonized in the immediate presence of bacteria and contaminants common after natural flooding scenarios.

How to proceed with the right cleaning and antimicrobial solution is vital to protecting your property from costly and destructive mold colonization. Not only are there multiple antimicrobial agents that we can utilize on structural elements, the structure itself, and even contents in the affected area, but there are also sporicides and disinfectants that can also eliminate spores on contact. The more uninhabitable that surfaces become to spreading mold colonization, the easier the organism ultimately becomes to remove with remediation tactics.

If our SERVPRO team arrives at a situation that has already gotten out of control, we must begin using our remediation approaches to contain the damage and to protect affected surfaces and contents as best we can. Once we have established containment barriers, our Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT) can use approaches such as soda and media blasting, sanding, and even controlled demolition to remove unwanted colonies from the affected area.

Knowing how hazardous spreading mold colonization can become, our SERVPRO of Boynton Beach team can arrive quickly to help. We can help to reduce the development of these colonies with the use of our potent sporicides and disinfectant/antimicrobial agents. No matter how we can help, give our team a call when you need us at (561) 413-9754.

We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Why Let SERVPRO Perform Mold Damage Remediation in Boynton Beach Homes

A variety of problems can affect homes in Boynton Beach. However, mold development is perhaps the most stubborn to manage. Mold colonies can grow inside or outside the structure. The infestation can also develop whether the property is occupied or vacant. Seeking help from a professional like SERVPRO can ease the restoration process in many ways.

Better Understanding of the Cause

Looking at mold damage incidents in Boynton Beach from the point of knowledge can help improve the restoration of the affected property, by solving current and future problems. The AMRT, Applied Microbial Remediation Technician certification our SERVPRO crews have, means they understand all issues associated with a mold infestation, including the omnipresence and microscopic nature of spores. Therefore, when we set out to restore your property, we aim to clean mold residues then eliminate the conditions that spark growth.

All the Equipment

Correct restoration of mold-damaged properties requires the use of a wide range of equipment, mostly because several steps are involved. Our crews have access to a variety of equipment and other resources. We bring plastic sheets, scaffolding, negative air machines, and HEPA filtered vacuums to the worksite. We also have air movers and dehumidifiers to help dry the property once we complete cleanup and other restoration steps.

Neutralizing Mold Colonies

Reaching all areas infested by the mold colonies is essential to the remediation process. Our SERVPRO technicians perform controlled demolition of walls and ceilings to remove affected porous materials like drywall and insulation, among others. Because the hyphae penetrate deep into the materials, we prefer removal over cleaning for lasting results. We clean hard surfaces through processes such as damp wiping using a professional cleaning agent with anti-microbial properties. Regular cleaning might not reach all nooks and crannies in the house. That is why we also use sporicides such as ozone and hydrogen peroxide, which have better reach. Both use free oxygen radicals to kill spores. Running an ozone machine in the property also helps eliminate the musty odor caused by mold.

You can get faster results and reduce the chances of recurrence when you involve a professional in mold remediation. Call SERVPRO of Boynton Beach at (561) 413-9754 to help. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Why Boynton Beach Can Rely On SERVPRO For Exceptional Home Restoration Services

Our restoration services have curated a selection of equipment and cross-trained technicians from the local area to serve commercial clients and residents throughout the state of Florida. Coastal communities like ours are especially at risk of weather-related property damages from high winds, to heavy rainfall to hurricanes. Experience and communication are the critical facets of our job with both providing us to return properties to their pre-existing condition. Our skill set covers mold, water, fire, and storm-related disasters that affect your Boynton Beach home. We know that these problems can happen at the most inconvenient times, which is why we operate a twenty-four-hour emergency line so you can always reach us in an emergency.

Storm
Florida, as a coastal community, is especially at risk of extreme weather events from tropical storms to hurricanes. So much so, that state-wide evacuation plans are in place for all residents of this community. The immediate priority during a storm situation is, of course, your safety. However, after the storm has subsided, you may return to a property where certain areas, or even the entire structure, is deemed uninhabitable. SERVPRO offers emergency restoration services for storm damage in Boynton Beach and the broader state of Florida.

Our customers value fast response times because they can significantly impact the overall timeframe of home restoration. Contractors cannot enter an unsound structure to reconstruct it, so it is the job of the restorer to check for hazards, contaminated water issues or weakening of the structure- which may present itself as waterlogged floors or ceilings. In the restoration service, we refer to this safety inspection as scoping.

Scoping can help a SERVPRO restorer to make vital adjustments to the situation of your property, which, if completed promptly, could prevent permanent damages. Chief among these adjustments is the removal of excess water, contaminants like raw sewage or animal carcasses as well as thorough drying of the structure. These tasks are preventative measures that could significantly reduce your claim rates by mitigating losses and avoiding expensive replacements.

Fire
First responders to a house fire, like firefighters, perform the first step in mitigating losses, dousing flames and securing the immediate structure. For residents with fire damage in Boynton Beach, the next steps are to bring in a trusted restoration service to further mitigate losses, remove debris or charred materials, and tackle odors. It is vital to arrange for a professional restorer immediately after the flames are put out like water, used in firefighting procedure, can set soots into surfaces or fabrics, resulting in permanent loss of contents.

SERVPRO restorers can enter the affected area of your Boynton Beach home wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) to conduct pre-tests on smoke residues and materials. There are several factors to consider in putting together a restoration service plan including the temperature of the fire, pressure, the type of materials that burned and the effect the fire has had on structural components like your Heating Ventilation and Air Condition (HVAC) unit. Removing all residues of smoke, soot, and charring is the priority for SERVPRO restorers.

Smoke residues can be tricky to remove because they adhere to surfaces under high pressure and high temperatures. Sometimes they can be embedded below the surface layer- a common issue in fabrics and upholstery. Using foam cleaning techniques to remove soiling from furnishing is essential when fabrics may shrink or bleed. Oil and water-based solvents can be applied to walls or hard surfaces to remove soiling while charred materials are removed from the property and disposed of safely. Once odor-causing items are cleansed from a property we can bring in fogging equipment, and neutralize any lasting odors to bring your property back to its pre-fire condition.

Water
From time to time water leaks may pose a threat to your home environment. Removing water in a short space of time and thoroughly drying the affected structure is essential to restoration water damage in Boynton Beach homes. The quicker the job can be finished, the less likelihood there is of permanent damages being sustained, which is why SERVPRO use local technicians to reduce call-out times.

Drying a structure presents many challenges to a restoration technician. Restricted access plays a huge role in the type of equipment that we can use to dry the property efficiently. A crawlspace, for example, may have restricted access and require portable extraction units alongside air movers fitted with a flex hose to create air circulation and encourage evaporation in a small space. Attic spaces also require removal of affected insulation as well as dehumidification.

Getting your Boynton Beach property to its reasonable, pre-water damage condition is about guaranteeing the structure, contents and cavities are dry. Moisture pockets can lead to serious mold problems further down the line, so SERVPRO takes regular readings of your property's psychrometrics- the balancing act of humidity, heat, and moisture- throughout the restoration period. Usually, once a property has dried odor, or staining issues are no longer apparent. When that is not the case, we can disperse odor-controlling solvents throughout using direct spraying methods.

Mold
Discovering mold in your property can be worrying. Mold colonies proliferate rapidly spreading through porous materials and possibly causing extensive mold damages to your Boynton Beach home's interior. Unchecked mold growth can be a health risk, so seeking professional restoration services to remediate your Boynton Beach property should be done as soon as possible.

When a mold remediation technician arrives on-site, they may need to move furniture around, block off parts of the home, or check beneath drywall and flooring. It is complicated to know the extent of mold infestation without tracing it physically through the home. Cleaning away the visible colonies is meaningless without remediating the source of mold- microbial infestations grow back without proper decontamination.

Stopping fungi at the source requires some understanding of what mold- and other microbes- need to grow. Like most organisms, microbes need water, food, and temperature to thrive. SERVPRO can dry the source of mold using structural cavity drying equipment. We can remove infested materials like drywall or insulation to remove microbial food supply. Using thermal hygrometers, our technicians can measure humidity and control it using dehumidification equipment. By removing the conditions for growth, our restoration services can remediate your Boynton Beach home from microbial growth issues.

SERVPRO of Boynton Beach is a well-established restoration service with a team of dedicated and skilled technicians on hand for water, mold, storm or fire issues in your property. Contact us today, at (561) 413-9754.

The Common Intersections Between Air Conditioning And Mold In Boynton Beach

3/11/2019 (Permalink)

Regular maintenance of your cooling system pays you back in increased efficiency and a significant reduction of mold growth.

Mold And Your AC

Living in a semi-tropical, humid climate Floridians are familiar with a few things. One, air conditioning is a necessity for most homeowners’ comfort. Two, mold and mildew grow easily in our humid climate. Three, AC should limit mold because it removes excess moisture from the air. SERVPRO agrees in theory with one through three but warns that mold and air conditioning have a complicated relationship.

Although you run an appropriately sized central air conditioning unit, you smell that unmistakable unpleasant odor indicating you have mold damage in your Boynton Beach home. The delicate balance between removing the water via condensation within the AC system and preventing mold growth in the air handler causes frustration for you. We are here to help you understand why it happens and what we can do as mold remediation specialists to solve the problem going forward.

The problem is that the workings of the air conditioning system that remove the water from the air sometimes begins accumulating the condensed moisture, along with dust and dirt, within the unit. This combination of moisture and carbon-based debris creates a mold nursery. Water condenses on the evaporator coil and then drains into the condensation pan. If this area collects dirt and the water has trouble draining, mold is the almost inevitable result.

This is where SERVPRO technicians help. We inspect and clean the ductwork of your HVAC system, including that evaporator area. Scrubbing the interior of the ducts and using a powerful vacuum to remove the debris is an essential service offered by our experienced staff. After the water is draining properly from the condensation pan and the coils and ducts are cleaned we recommend removing the HVAC filter and installing a new, clean, and disposable replacement.

Regular maintenance of your cooling system pays you back in increased efficiency and a significant reduction of mold growth. Work with the SERVPRO scheduling staff to ensure your system is inspected, cleaned, and filters replaced at least every six months. If you notice a foul, musty odor, consider more frequent visits from our team.

If you are concerned about mold growth in your home, get SERVPRO of Boynton Beach involved. Our office staff set up appointments, and happily add your name to the inspection list when you call (561) 413-9754.

Introducing the Simple Way to Mold Damage Remediation Success in Boynton Beach

1/31/2019 (Permalink)

Mold can spread very quickly inside your home. Call SERVPRO right away for an assessment and remediation services.

Waiting Too Long to Remediate Water Damage Can Lead to Mold Damage Forming in Your Home

In order to avoid the formation of mold damage, it is essential to remediate water damage as quickly as possible after it happens. Otherwise, it is possible for mold damage to form and cause further damage on top of the problems that you are already dealing with. It takes less than seventy-two hours after the initial exposure to water damage for mold spores to become active. Mold spores are omnipresent and impossible to be completely rid of them. However, they are also harmless in their spore state, as long as the area they inhabit remains dry.
 
When mold spores are exposed to water, they can cause mold damage inside of your Boynton Beach home by forming a mold colony. Mold damage and mold colonies should never be left inside of your home for an extended period of time. Over time, mold can break down the wooden structure of your home and cause health effects in the individuals who live there. To avoid these situations, ridding your home of the mold as quickly as possible is the best course of action.
 
Here, at SERVPRO, our highly trained IICRC-certified technicians use advanced techniques and equipment in conjunction to combat mold damage. Furthermore, our company prides itself on its quick service. We are "Faster to Any Size Disaster." When you hire SERVPRO, you can feel confident in our speed, our professionalism, our results, and our customer-friendliness.
 
When we arrive at your house, SERVPRO can begin the remediation after a swift investigation of the damages. Mold damage should always be quarantined from the rest of the house before remediation, as agitation can cause the spores from the colony to become airborne and spread. Putting up a plastic barricade keeps the spores away from the rest of your home and prevents the colony from taking root elsewhere.
 
To start the remediation, SERVPRO can use disinfection to clean the mold away from the surface it has attached itself to, so long as it is only semi-porous or nonporous. Should the mold have taken root in a porous material, the material has to go with the mold, as it cannot be cleaned thoroughly. Once the mold has been removed, our technicians can spray an anti-fungal agent to prevent the mold from regrowing and then leave your home in its pre-mold state.

Mold Damage Remediation And Loss Mitigation Boynton Beach Residents Can Count On

For any extensive mold problems found in your Boynton Beach area home, you should consider hiring a professional. If you can see mold growing on your walls and the contaminated area covers more than 10 square feet, you need an expert to address it correctly. Many molds contain airborne toxins that can cause problems throughout your home. Since most mold is microscopic, you can become compromised without ever seeing that a problem exists.

The most common ways to locate mold damage in your Boynton Beach property involves searching for odors and other early signs using specialized equipment. If you only slightly suspect that you have a mold problem, it is worth hiring a professional to perform an inspection to find out. You want to keep you and your family out of harm’s way whenever possible, avoiding any health problems that mold may cause.

A common misconception is that bleach, peroxide, vinegar, and baking soda kill mold. However, when it comes to getting mold in your home under control, splashing some chemicals around and using a rag doused in vinegar does not do the trick. SERVPRO’s highly-trained mold remediation specialists use a variety of cleaning and drying methods along with EPA registered disinfectants, anti-fungal and anti-microbial treatments to address mold problems found in your home.

SERVPRO can also help remove mold from fabrics, including clothing, shoes, drapes, rugs, carpeting, and other household goods that become saturated with mold.

We can help you identify problem areas early, limit the losses you experience, and return your home’s interior to a quality condition that you and your family can enjoy.
