Contact SERVPRO for Water Damage Assistance in Plantation

Water damage remains one of the more prevalent issues in commercial businesses and residential properties across the country. There are many causes of water-related issues, with many going undetected for a period. Some excess water and increased moisture within your Plantation property may come from flooding and heavy rains. You may also have internal problems with a burst or leaking pipe, issues with ill-fitted fixtures, and a significant spill not appropriately handled. The overall extent of the damage could be deceiving, so having skilled technicians from SERVPRO on the job ensures all water damage gets addressed accordingly.

Many homeowners become tempted to tackle water damage in Plantation using DIY methods. However, hiring professionals gives you the added assurance nothing gets overlooked. Someone with an untrained eye trying DIY water cleanup could mean secondary damage develops, including the onset of black mold and mildew growth. Our IICRC-certified water restoration technicians (WRT) at SERVPRO have the experience and access to the best equipment to handle all kinds of residential and commercial water-related incidents.

The Best Reasons to Hire Trained Technicians to Address Water Damage

Not only do you want results, but there are also many advantages when you hire the SERVPRO crew for water removal services and restoration, including:

• Hidden water damage and leak detection – A significant challenge with water issues is knowing the full extent of the damage. The water seeps into porous building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation. Our technicians know how to follow the water’s migration path so we can ensure no moisture is left. We pinpoint and tackle the root cause of the issue to keep the water problem from coming right back.
• Industrial grade tools, equipment, and cleaning agents – Our vehicles in the SERVPRO Green Fleet bring everything we need to address your water damage. Some pieces we may have packed up for your project include shop vacs, air movers, dehumidifiers, drying mats, and EPA-registered antimicrobials.
• Proven methods and rapid response to foster quality results – After your initial call to our customer care team, we mobilize a crew to head out to your location within hours. The situation gets a full assessment so that we can begin extractions and water mitigation efforts.

Will Professional Water Restoration and Cleanup be Expensive?

There is a common misconception that professional water restoration is excessively costly. However, by cutting loss, saving time, and ensuring you do not have a recurring problem, we save Plantation residents overall. Our SERVPRO team makes it “Like it never even happened” while using the restore versus replace methodology. Please remember:

• Our Green Fleet arriving quickly for water mitigation keeps moisture from further penetrating building materials. The longer you wait, it can bring on extensive secondary damage with various hazards.
• You can avoid the need to restore secondary damage, content loss, and substantial structural issues with a single call to SERVPRO.
• We always work to restore items using cleaning and drying methods rather than replacing them whenever possible.

Even a spill from an overflowing bathtub or a hidden leak under your kitchen cabinets can fester and cause more harm over time. We get in and ensure you have the results you need.

Mold Damage Cannot Wait in Plantation

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

Hire SERVPRO Mold Damage Cleanup for Plantation Properties

Whether you have a home or sizable commercial property in Plantation, mildew and black mold infestations are the type of problem many people do not see coming. You could spy a patch or two of mold around showers and tubs, but if you see colonies growing on ceilings or walls, this points to a more significant problem. Proper mold remediation is challenging, making it a task you never want to do as a DIY. Possible hazards and structural damage could occur wherever mold starts to colonize. To remain safe and get results, hiring SERVPRO for proper mold cleanup will make your property Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned.

Why Call Skilled SERVPRO Technicians for Mold Damage in Plantation?

Our SERVPRO team includes IICRC-certified and highly trained specialists who use the best methods and equipment to correctly complete mold damage in Plantation. Are you still unsure about calling for professional remediation assistance? If you see one or more of the following, we can be there to help in as little as four hours:

• Any visible mold patches that develop on ceilings, walls, under cabinets or carpeting, and more.
• Musty, strong odors that come about within your home or business.
• Excessive humidity within the building.
• A recent issue with the plumbing or water-related emergencies that may not have gotten addressed quickly enough.

Why Not Attempt Mold Cleanup as a DIY?

Whenever someone without the right equipment, protective gear, or training tries their hand at mold cleanup, you open up the door for further damage and a host of possible hazards. Many people also fail to realize that mold is everywhere inside and outside the home, making it impossible to eradicate. Companies and products that claim mold removal are false. Instead, hiring professionals will ensure the safest, most efficient process for cleanup.

Both commercial and residential properties have a range of organic materials, including wood, carpeting, paper, cotton, and more. Mold thrives and colonizes whenever you have a catalyst such as excessive moisture, higher temperatures, and organic food sources. Our IICRC-certified technicians understand how mold works and know how to address all situations in the safest manner possible.

Facts About Mold that Many People May Not Realize

There are many reasons that mold remediation is challenging, including:

• Mold is often difficult to find to the untrained eye. You may also have a hidden leak in your plumbing behind walls, under your flooring, or beneath cabinets.
• Mold spores are microscopic and can quickly become airborne. The tiny spores latch onto our clothing, hair, pets, and other items on your property. Mold can even come through open windows and travel through your HVAC ductwork.

SERVPRO is available to handle your mold issue with care. We put suitable containment measures in place while we work and do our best to keep spores from dislodging and traveling into unaffected areas of your property.

Why Can You Trust SERVPRO for Quality Mold Restoration?

We have a team of SERVPRO technicians who have undergone immense training, certification, and hours of experience on mold remediation projects. We know and understand mold characteristics and how to address them efficiently and safely to keep them from returning immediately. We have a process that usually includes:

• Assessment and thorough inspection to determine the source of moisture.
• We look at all impacted areas to see where mold has spread, any materials that might be salvageable, and whether or not there is structural damage.
• Our team then carefully cleans mold, including patches within your ductwork, behind walls, under carpeting and cabinets, or above your ceiling panels.

SERVPRO of Plantation/Sunrise SE is the team you need on the job when you require help with mold damage. Reach out and call 24 hours a day at (954) 280-8282 to mobilize a crew. You can also request assistance online at your earliest convenience.

Water Restoration and Removal Objectives in Plantation Commercial Properties

3/20/2023 (Permalink)

Many elements used in construction are porous and sensitive to absorption, making standing water an immediate concern.

Removing Water Happens in Several Ways 

When you first suffer water damage effects, your business has many immediate needs. Our fast response ensures that mitigation and restoration strategies start soon. We can help remove water in several ways.

Pooling Water After Disasters

The start of water restoration in Plantation commercial properties is removing standing water. Pooling of any type can be destructive to building materials in your commercial property. Many elements used in construction are porous and sensitive to absorption, so standing water is an immediate concern. We have several approaches for removing pooling water on flooring materials, including extraction devices like:

• Pumps
• Vacuums
• Light Wands
• Weighted Extractors

Drying Wet Materials

The need for water removal also extends to efforts made to dry wet materials and surfaces. Water absorption is a significant concern with porous building elements. Dozens of drying tools are deployed to help create a stable and consistent drying result for damaged portions of your property. The placement of air movers is continually monitored with sensors and thermal imagery to ensure that we continue to make consistent progress in removing surface moisture. Tools in this process include:

• Portable Heaters
• Axial Air Movers
• Centrifugal Air Movers
• Ventilation

Regulating Humidity Concerns

Humidity and environmental moisture can be unique challenges for water removal objectives. Eliminating excess humidity promotes steadier evaporative drying. We must use several tools from our inventory to help manage environmental moisture grains, namely desiccant dehumidifiers and ventilation fans. 

Water removal is a complex need for commercial properties because of how many objectives exist to dry and restore your residence. Our SERVPRO of Plantation / Sunrise SE team is ready to help when you need us. Call today at (954) 710-8544.

Mitigative Steps of Fire Damage Restoration

With restoration projects for residences, the earliest actions to begin recovery often impact its success and timeline. When disasters strike, we prioritize a prompt mitigative response that includes several key objectives.

Debris Removal and Cleanup

Starting the restoration of fire damage in Planation involves understanding the earliest actions needed to protect the property and its occupants from more significant harm. Mitigation of fire losses starts with removing debris on the flooring and horizontal surfaces heaped from the combustion processes. Eliminating waste, ash, and charred material remnants lessens soot concentrations and smoke odor severity.

Addressing Soot and Smoke Buildup

Deposits of smoke solids on surfaces can be a formidable obstacle for restoration professionals, so our SERVPRO team must work quickly to avoid permanent marring of the underlying substrates. The acidic properties of soot deposits make the residue corrosive and able to mar sensitive building materials, so cleanup comes in several forms, including:

• Solvents
• Alkaline Cleaners
• Media Blasting
• Controlled Demolition

Deodorization Practices 

Deodorizing is also a needed action following fire losses. The combustion process creates a volatile environment for homeowners and house occupants, making it essential to focus on indoor air quality overall with HEPA air scrubbers and filtration equipment. These actions involve managing post-fire odors through ULV fogging, using hydroxyl generators, or introducing ozone.

Build-Back Services 

Fire damage often comes with the need for reconstruction and repair. Commonly, combustion can have destructive effects on installed building elements, so controlled demolition and replacing these components becomes a critical part of completing fire restoration services. With a general contractor license, our SERVPRO professionals can complete needed build-back services after restoration nears completion.

With fire damage being a consistent concern for Plantation homes and businesses, it is necessary to have a team capable of handling the full recovery your property might need. Trust our SERVPRO of Plantation / Sunrise SE professionals to help and call (954) 710-8544 when disasters strike.

SERVPRO commercial damage restoration services are top-notch. We are ready 24/7 365 days a year to help you out.

Commercial Water Removal in Plantation Requires Expert Help

After water invades your commercial property, the time you take to commence its removal is critical. Water might ruin things like supplies or stock required for normal operations. Acting fast is critical regardless of the water source or the damage's size.

Water extraction is one key step in restoration since it limits the damages imparted on your property. Prompt commercial water removal in Plantation properties helps ensure that the structures, contents, and equipment don't have much time to absorb water. On the other hand, delaying the restoration process increases the cost and time required to recover fully.

As a commercial property owner, SERVPRO would advise you that the team you pick to handle water removal has the following qualities, among others:

• The restorers should be able to work closely with your insurance provider to offer you a stress-free claims process.
• The technicians should be highly-trained and licensed by the local authorities on restoration services and are confident in handling water damage, regardless of the severity.
• They should have advanced technological equipment for better moisture detection in the building to perform an efficient job.
• They should also be insured to carry out restoration services.

Commercial property owners need to contact service providers who are sure to perform a quick and clean job without interrupting the stability of the business. This is the main reason that SERVPRO has assembled a team available to you at any hour of the day.

Our water removal process comprises two main approaches: water extraction and evaporation. Due to the energy-intensive evaporation process, SERVPRO uses its commercial water extraction units, like portable pumps, to extract as much water from your property as possible.

Our SERVPRO team uses psychrometrics to measure the amount of moisture in the air and to ensure the air is dry enough for damp materials to dry fast during the drying process. To dry the air, we control the temperature and use drying equipment to control humidity levels.

Efficiency and speed ensure your commercial property returns to its preloss state quickly, and no revenue is wasted. Contact SERVPRO of Plantation / Sunrise SE for assistance at (954) 280-8282.

SERVPRO Can Handle Water Restoration in Plantation

In your house, many emergencies can occur and lead to water damage, including burst pipes, water heater failure, leaking dishwasher lines, and sump pump failure. After these mishaps, the standing water does not take long before it starts ruining the furniture, the drywall, and the flooring, among other items.

Water and moisture can also initiate the colonization of your house by mold. SERVPRO has assembled a team of fully trained restoration professionals to help you conduct water restoration in your Plantation home. We understand that water damage repair entails more than simple drying and cleaning. That's why we ensure our technicians are well versed in drying porous materials like carpets, furniture, and drywall, to avert potential structural damage and foul odors fully.

For your safety, SERVPRO advises a regular inspection of the following locations:

• Plaster
• Drywall
• Wood
• Insulation
• Floor coverings
• Framing
• Electrical wiring
• Appliances
• Pipes
• The HVAC system

SERVPRO can work closely with your insurance provider through our contents claim inventory service (CCIS). It offers detailed content listings of questionable, non-repairable, and repairable items for insurance firms by unbiased parties. We can thoroughly document the damages that your contents and property have accrued, which involves taking pictures before commencing the restoration process, during, and after completing the task at hand. We can record details about all content items with handheld scanners and bar codes. Our team can also prepare sketches and create drying logs for an accurate and faster claim.
