Lafayette Residents Benefit from Swift Mold Remediation Service

2/3/2023 (Permalink)

Warmer weather brings humidity, and that can lead to mold growth. Our SERVPRO team is IICRC trained to remediate any scope of mold damage.

Fast Mold Remediation Saves Lafayette Homeowners

Spring and summer months in Lafayette can be quite humid and encourage mold development in area homes. This annual problem should be anticipated and steps like enlisting the aid of professional mold remediators should be taken. A local firm that can help is SERVPRO, one of Indiana’s most experienced mold cleanup and restoration companies.

SERVPRO has helped Lafayette homeowners with mold remediation services for over a quarter of a century. Company mold specialists have conducted countless mold inspections, completed numerous mold removal projects, performed extensive attic, bathroom, and basement mold remediation work, effectively cleaned up black mold, and done black mold damage repairs. Our IICRC trained technicians have been successful in these endeavors partially because of their diverse arsenal of powerful, commercial-grade chemical agents, including:

• Sporicides, like gluteraldehydes, which are disinfectants that control fungal spore development
• Fungicides, or agents like phenolics, that kill mold, mildew, and other fungi
• Fungistats and mildewstats, chemicals that inhibit the growth of fungi on organic materials, including paper, textiles, and leather
• Disinfectants, including chlorines, alcohols, and quaternaries, which eliminate about 99% of all microorganisms they come into contact with
• Sanitizers that reduce the number of microbes on household surfaces to a level deemed safe by public health officials
• Deodorants such as masking chemicals that cover up bad smells, pairing agents that combine with odor particles and remove them from the air, filtration & absorption compounds that absorb odorous moisture and oils, and electrically generated deodorizers like ozone gas that change the elemental structure of smelly particles

Various tools are used to treat affected areas, surfaces, and materials with these chemical agents, like:

• Automatic and manual sprayers
• Cutting-edge foggers
• High-tech injection devices
• Ozone machines

So, as you can see, SERVPRO of Lafayette is ready to help you with all of your mold remediation needs. Call us whenever you need us at (765) 420-0077.

Safe Mold Removal Techniques in Lafayette with SERVPRO

9/27/2022 (Permalink)

Mold can grow on porous and nonporous surfaces, but no worries! SERVPRO can remediate the mold.

Mold Cleanup in a Lafayette Property Requires Skills

Most homeowners cringe at just the mention of the word mold. If you notice any signs of mold growing in your Lafayette home, like a musty smell, staining, and discoloration on affected areas, taking the necessary steps to identify and remove it is essential. It causes aesthetic and structural deterioration.

Mold removal at your Lafayette property is not something you should perform on your own, especially if the levels are high. Removing it is challenging and requires specific equipment, training, and certification to do the job correctly. SERVPRO technicians have experience removing and cleaning up mold from an indoor environment.

We Can Safely Address the Problem Through:

• Source identification
• Containments
• Antimicrobial application
• Removal and cleanup of porous materials

Usually, the most effective way to ensure proper remediation is by getting rid of compromised materials and contents per industry standards. Removing things may involve drywall, insulation, carpet, wood trim, and even some furniture. Our IICRC trained SERVPRO technicians safely wrap and discard any soiled belongings that we cannot thoroughly clean, such as those made of porous materials.

Removing Mold Safely

SERVPRO implements controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of your home by establishing negative pressure and using HEPA-filtered vacuums to collect residues. Our technicians thoroughly clean all surfaces and apply specialized solutions such as sporicides to limit further growth. We take caution with cleaners since combining bleach and ammonia creates toxic vapors.

Colonies can also develop on nonporous surfaces such as sinks, metal, glass, tubs, tiles, and toilets. Our SERVPRO technicians often damp wipe these nonporous areas using antimicrobial cleaners. This method is effective in removing mold without spending too much time.

Other Methods for Mold Cleanup:

• Air scrubbing
• Dry ice blasting
• Sanding

SERVPRO of Lafayette can help when you need assistance with mold removal within your property. Call us at (765) 420-0077. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

SERVPRO Crews Suit Up for Mold Removal

Not wanting to continue smelling that distinctive odor caused by microbial overgrowth, homeowners in Lafayette opt for mold removal services to get their homes clean again. Since each home differs from the next one, SERVPRO needs various methods to make our work more efficient and cost-effective.

Our mold removal methods in Lafayette target the precise location, material, and environment to better serve our customers. We would not use the same techniques on the dry mold that we would use with mold in a moister, damper environment. We want to remove microbes in a way that contains them and their spores. We take cross-contamination very seriously, so we wear full-body suits, masks, and gloves – our personal protective equipment (PPE).

To protect your home from spores that can begin a new mold colony, our IICRC trained techs  include these in our mold removal services:

• Chambered sections of your home with plastic sheeting,
• Vacuuming up mold particles and spores with vacuums that have HEPA filtrations systems, and
• Detection and elimination of damp areas in your residence.

Mold particles and spores can quickly become airborne and find their way to other areas of a house. Plastic sheeting creates a barrier, making it much more difficult for microbes and their spores to reach new areas of the home.

HEPA filters help us capture and remove mold from your home even more. Standard filters cannot do this and fail to perform at the required level. Keeping track of mold is difficult because of its microscopic size, so we must depend on trusted equipment and devices to do this for us.

With specialized cameras that detect the differences in surface temperature, we can visually see where damper areas exist inside your residence. Following these moisture pockets back to their source, we can eliminate them and restore more arid conditions. A drier environment helps reduce the ability of microbes to overgrow.

SERVPRO of Lafayette can answer your questions at our emergency services line, (765) 420-0077.

Why Indian Village Residents Call SERVPRO for Mold Damage

Our team has the tools to locate and eliminate hidden moisture which can lead to mold growth.

Homes with Mold Damage are Damper than Normal

When SERVPRO gets a call about mold damage in Indian Village, we know that it is more than just microbes that require our attention. We also need to address the environment that made prolific microbial growth possible.

This adverse environment that allows mold damage in an Indian Village home to take over often seems uncomfortable to the people living there. However, temporary measures to alleviate discomfort often happen instead of more permanent changes that would provide more cost-effective, long-term relief. 

Excess humidity can come from various places and is rarely consistent throughout a residence. Here are a few places our IICRC trained techs have found excess moisture and elevated humidity with our infrared cameras:

• Underneath or behind refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines,
• The back of closets, cabinets, and stairwells, 
• Crawlspaces and basements, and
• Attics where winter moisture seeped in and now readily evaporated with the summer heat.

Mold damage can start small, but with the continued use of heating and cooling systems that use ducts, microbes can spread from wall to wall in your home. The moisture they need can also travel widely. However, water alone is not enough. Microbes need cellulose-based food sources wherever they land. Immobile and dependent on air currents to find new locations for their spores, landing on a damp surface only serves their needs if cellulose is present.

Some things naturally contain cellulose, like drywall or wood paneling. Others do not but often come to contain cellulose, like carpeting with food crumbs or dirty plastic dishes forgotten in your camping gear. Microbes are also nearly everywhere in even the cleanest houses, reducing their need to travel far. 

While you can easily clean up small areas infested with mold, after a microbial colony reaches about ten square feet, a professional cleaning can help control the mold and clean the area. SERVPRO of Lafayette can help with mold damage clean-up. Contact us at (765) 420-0077 for tailored services.

SERVPRO is the First Choice of Lafayette Homeowners After Flood Damage

1/31/2022 (Permalink)

When flooding occurs, you need professional remediation. SERVPRO is always on call.

Advanced Technology, Fast 24-Hour Service, and a Highly Trained Team Makes SERVPRO an Ideal Choice for Restoring Flood Damage in Lafayette

When your residential or commercial building floods, the water brings several problems with it, including microbial contamination and odors that need professional mitigation. For an efficient restoration of flood damage to your Lafayette property, you need experienced restorers like SERVPRO.

SERVPRO understands that using the proper equipment to restore flood damage to your Lafayette property makes the process efficient and effective. Consequently, the SERVPRO techs use moisture sensors, extraction units, and air scrubbers during the process.

What Deodorizing Equipment do SERVPRO Techs Use During Flood Restoration in Lafayette? 

SERVPRO techs use various equipment and methods to combat odors in your flood-damaged Lafayette property:

• Wet fogging
• Dry fogging (thermal or hot fogging)
• Activated oxygen (ozone) generators

Ozone generators are beneficial during flood restoration as they can combat odors and help in sanitization. Ozone is also effective in neutralizing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that might result from biological contamination. 

Why are Ozone Generators so Effective in Neutralizing Odors? 

Ozone, also called activated oxygen, is a very reactive molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. When ozone comes in contact with odor-causing molecules, they are destroyed by the oxidative process. 

An ozone generator applies an electric charge to the air breaking the oxygen molecules (O2) into atoms. The oxygen atoms then combine with another oxygen molecule to form ozone (O3). SERVPRO techs take proper precautions while using ozone generators for odor removal during flood restoration. 

If you need help in dealing with the effects of flooding in your home, call SERVPRO of Lafayette at (765) 420-0077.

How Do SERVPRO Techs Chemically Alter the Residues During Smoke Remediation of Lafayette Homes?  

SERVPRO techs take advantage of their knowledge of chemistry to alter the chemical nature of soot particles in your fire-damaged Lafayette home. Restorers use the following chemical principles to afford this change:

• Bleaching- A bleach is a chemical agent that either oxidizes or reduces a residue, changing its chemical composition. Once broken down, the restorers can easily remove the residues. 
• Enzyme digestion- Enzymes are biological products that are especially effective in breaking down protein residues. 

How do SERVPRO Techs Eliminate Rust Stains from Water Damage After a Fire?

SERVPRO restorers use a product containing oxalic-phosphorous acid solution for removing rust stains. As this agent is a strong acid (pH= 2), it dissolves rust from various surfaces, including cotton, carpet, linen.

What Happens During Inspection Done by SERVPRO's Mold Specialists at Your Indian Village Home

Mold inspection is good if you don't see any visible signs but suspect that mold growth is present. One of the first things that SERVPRO experts do once they arrive at your Indian Village property is to conduct a thorough visual inspection of the property to identify any signs of mold.

SERVPRO techs don't use any instrument other than a flashlight and tools to access restricted areas during the inspection. However, in some cases, we use a camera or a borescope to visualize mold growth in difficult-to-reach areas. The extent and scope of the damage are revealed during the inspection process, which helps develop the remediation plan.

In most cases where there is a visible presence of mold growth, professionals generally skip the inspection step and move to the remediation step of the restoration process.

How Does Basement Mold Get Removed from Lafayette Homes?

9/20/2021 (Permalink)

Basements create the ideal environment for mold growth. Inspect your home often for signs of moisture.

Our Remediators can Evaluate Mold Growth and Provide Efficient Remediation to Lafayette Homeowners

The basement level of many Lafayette homes is subjected to moisture, less natural light, and other conditions conducive for the development and spread of fungi and microbial organisms. When these threats are found, it is essential for remediation and mold removal tactics to begin as soon as possible.

Clearing Out Mold and Microbial Threats 

Mold removal for Lafayette homes can happen in several ways. Once microbial growth gets identified in the basement, we can begin by treating surfaces with biocides and sporicidal products to inhibit further growth. Aggressive methods like sanding, media blasting, and even controlled demolition are often necessary for long-standing mold damage situations. The essential remediation strategies get identified during the initial mold inspection.  

Restoring Environmental Conditions to Prevent Recurrence 

One of the obstacles that our SERVPRO professionals face in mold-damaged basements is returning this lower level to ideal conditions. Moisture and temperature are factors in the development of mold, and likewise in reducing recurrences. We can help identify the cause of moisture damage to ensure any structural damage gets resolved by encouraging the application or installation of: 

• Sump pumps
• Dehumidification units
• Waterproofing materials

Because of the likelihood of mold growth and development in underground levels of your home, you can count on our SERVPRO of Lafayette team to remain prepared to help. We have experienced remediators standing by at (765) 420-0077.

Discovering mold in your home is stressful. But don’t worry. Your home is in the right hands with our highly trained SERVPRO team.

Can Lafayette Residents Trust SERVPRO with Mold Damage Remediation? 

Mold damage in your Lafayette home is a problem that is often hidden but can cause a lot more than just aesthetic issues.

The most commonly found black mold in North American homes is called Stachybotrys chartarum. Although it appears dark green or black, it does not mean that it is any more dangerous than mold of any other color, according to the CDC.

SERVPRO never uses the discovery of black mold at your Lafayette property to scare you; instead, our qualified mold specialists brief you about the situation and what needs to be done.

Keep Your HVAC System Clean and Reduce Mold Growth

3/22/2021 (Permalink)

Ducts are just one area in a home where mold can grow. Inspect your home often for signs of moisture and mold growth.

SERVPRO Offers Mold Damage Prevention Tips to Lafayette Residents

A preventive measure to prevent mold is to keep your HVAC system clean. When your HVAC system is running, it can spread mold spores through the air ducts. The spores then circulate throughout the air and into every room in the house.

Reducing the Chance for Mold Growth

While mold spores are everywhere and you cannot entirely remove them, reducing them as much as possible can prohibit the chance of growth. Mold damage in Lafayette homes is commonplace. Keeping your HVAC system clean is just one of the things you can do to prevent mold colonies' development. Other actions that can help include:

• Do not let moisture develop in the home.
• If you live in a high humidity area, run a dehumidifier.
• Check basements, pipes, and sink areas often for signs of mold.
• Install exhaust fans in bathrooms.

If you find mold in your home, let the experts at SERVPRO of Lafayette mitigate the mold damage for you. DIY methods of mold removal often do more harm than good, so avoid cleaning up with those techniques. We have specialized equipment and certified technicians that remediate your mold problem safely. Contact us at (765) 420-0077 for professional mold damage removal.

Why Water Restoration and Recovery Are Vital for Lafayette Homes

11/9/2020 (Permalink)

No matter the source of your water loss, the SERVPRO team is always ready and waiting to remediate the emergency.

Our SERVPRO Team can Help with Efficient and Direct Water Removal, Drying, and Cleaning Services When You Need Them

Water emergencies can strike at any time, especially when you consider some extreme temperature fluctuations that we can expect for Lafayette and Tippecanoe County. We can record average temperatures of 17 degrees during the winter, far below the freezing threshold. Exposed and under-insulated pipes and fixtures can freeze and burst, causing substantial water damage scenarios for area homeowners.

When you consider water restoration companies near me in Lafayette, few are locally owned and operated outfits like our SERVPRO roster. With close to 100,000 residents between West Lafayette and Lafayette, there are no shortages for places to call home for someone looking to find a place to plant their roots. Unlike many areas in the United States, our region of Indiana sees all four seasons every year – including a spectacular array of colors when autumn sets in throughout the natural landscapes surrounding the city. It is no doubt why so many have acclaimed the beauty and allure of Purdue's campus in West Lafayette, as most students are beginning their college journeys in one of the most attractive times of the year for our Midwest locale.

The Arts of Tippecanoe County

Because the city plays host to one of the most well-known colleges in the country, the municipality has grown and evolved to suit the changing climate of trends and movements driven by young adults. As such, we have many art programs and organizations that promote the development and the education of these artists, beginning with a safe place to showcase their talents and motivators. Through structures like the Haan Mansion Museum of Indiana Art and the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, travelers and residents can see and experience this cultural staple throughout the year.

Annual festivals and fairs also showcase local talent and crafts. Many area artists look forward to presenting their work at events such as Art in the Park, Round the Fountain Art Fair, and the Mini Maker Faire of Greater Lafayette. The last of these is a huge event taking place at the end of March every year at the Lafayette Science Museum. Multiple exhibits display craftwork ranging from new inventions, science projects, artwork, music, and locally sourced food. While 2020's event was canceled because of the pandemic, the artisans and craftworkers' enthusiasm remains vibrant, and the fair is expected to make its return in 2021.

A College Town and More 

Purdue University influences much of the development throughout West Lafayette by increasing the need for small shops and novelty locations throughout the campus districts. These areas' continued development and growth attract travelers to the region that do not wish to contend with the traffic and congestion of the Indianapolis metropolitan zone around 60 miles away. While Lafayette is the seat of Tippecanoe County, the city does not have the same towering presence as the capital of the state.

The University plays the most considerable role in Lafayette's economics through both gainful employments offered with positions at the school and the campus's impact on companies and shops throughout the neighboring areas. With hundreds of structures directly correlated to student housing, the campus, and educational centers, our SERVPRO team also becomes directly tied to the school with our fast and reliable response. This rapid response is valuable when hundreds of individuals can become impacted by the same loss event.

Every year, Purdue offers education to more than 40,000 students, much of which does not commute. For most of the year, this influx in students and city occupancy can increase revenues and help fund more beautification projects for the municipality. Students of Purdue and Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana help increase the popularity and success of annual festivals like the Feast of the Hunters' Moon, which celebrates the relationship of early French settlers and the Native Americans in late October. 

A History Worth Preserving

Though we have only been a city since 1825, many of our region's structures are older. The town was named after the renowned General Marquis de Lafayette of the Revolutionary War. His tactical gifts allowed our greatly outmanned and outgunned colonists to fight for the freedoms that define America today. The area also has a rich culture and history with its original Native American occupants, including landmarks like Prophet's Rock.

We have designated areas of Lafayette devoted to the preservation and protection of properties with historical significance. The Upper Main Street Historic District is among these locations. It serves to maintain and upkeep famous buildings in our metropolitan area such as the Moses Fowler House, the James H. Ward House, and the Tippecanoe County Courthouse. These landmarks preserve our culture and history, dating back to French settlements along the Wabash River in the early 19th Century.

Intermingled with these attractive structures are symbols of Lafayette's growth and evolution, such as the shopping centers like Tippecanoe Mall or the medical facilities of Franciscan Health in the central and east areas of the city. Lafayette continues to be an attractive place to settle down because of the manufacturing facilities offering gainful employment for long-time residents and recent Ivy Tech and Purdue graduates, including Arconic, Wabash National, and Caterpillar.

Water Restoration You Can Count On 

Even with the charm and allure of Lafayette, its nearly 100,000 residents are always at the mercy of possible water disasters. There are multiple ways that water disasters can come about, including:

• Frozen pipes
• Broken fixtures
• Aging plumbing
• Human error

What Is Necessary for Effective Cleanup after Water Intrusion?

Should you experience a water intrusion event, contact SERVPRO. We are always on call.

SERVPRO Identifies Problems That Might Interfere with Water Cleanup in Lafayette Properties before Starting the Process

After an incident of water intrusion, you need to do more than just extracting water or drying wet materials. Cleaning up the affected areas helps address many issues that develop after leaks. SERVPRO helps cleanup Lafayette properties thoroughly, guaranteeing the best outcomes.

What do water cleanup exercises in Lafayette properties involve?

In a Lafayette incident involving clean water, you might not expect significant cleanup tasks. However, various issues might arise once moisture interacts with other house materials, necessitating advanced cleaning procedures. Some standard restoration procedures include:

• Stain removal
• Removal of deteriorated materials
• Management of microbial agents
• Odor removal

Stains arise mostly from dyes in upholstery or fabrics such as draperies running, affecting other vicinity items. The water might also affect materials such as pad, drywall, or insulation to the extent that drying cannot reverse the damage. Our SERVPRO technicians help remove such deteriorated materials during the cleanup process.

What counts as effective cleanup?

A cleaning exercise should help restore the property to its preloss state. The process should also guarantee sanitary conditions in the property after addressing the incident. Our SERVPRO crews achieve the desired goal by:

• Evaluating moisture migration fully
• Applying antimicrobial agents on the back of carpets
• Using potent yet safe cleaning products

Challenges such as odor and mold growth mostly arise when residue moisture is left in the property after the cleanup exercise. Our technicians can probe deep within materials using penetrative moisture meters. We also check cavities for wetness using thermal cameras. In case of hidden moisture, we can open the areas or use advanced cavity drying techniques to manage the moisture.

SERVPRO of Lafayette cleans up a property after any water loss incident, "Like it never even happened." Call us at (765) 420-0077.

How Does Mold Grow In My Lafayette Home, and Can SERVPRO Help?

5/22/2020 (Permalink)

Finding the right solution to the mold growth in your home is not a problem that you should put off any longer than necessary.

Mold Damage In Your Home

When you first discover mold growing in your Dayton home, you might find yourself a little surprised and unsure of how it got there. More often than not, homeowners are less and less aware of the ease with which mold can grow and colonize in their houses, which makes it more of a common occurrence for it to happen. The more that you can understand how these situations occur, the better prepared you are to stop it from happening.

It might not seem like mold damages  in your Lafayette home can be that big of a deal, but mold can cause many problems for your home and your family inside. For starters, mold colonies eat and erode organic building materials, weakening the structural integrity of your home more and more as the colony spreads. Secondly, there are potential health effects linked to exposure to these colonies. This fact puts your family's health at a risk when exposure occurs.

Mold spores require one thing more than any other to grow and colonize within your house, and that is persistent moisture. While often the damp areas of your home are the basement or cellar, mold growth is never just isolated to these low traffic areas. Even if the spores begin to colonize there, they can travel via air ducts and openings throughout your home and colonize in these new places as well. That is why remediation from our SERVPRO technicians needs to happen as promptly as possible.

Warmth is another condition that the mold spores often require to colonize in your home, but this is not as warm as you might believe. For most residential varieties of fungus, the temperature only needs to be in the vicinity of 70 degrees. At this temperature, spores can seat and thrive on organic materials throughout the affected area.

Heeding Early Warnings of Lafayette Mold Damage Could Save Big Money

Compared to the effects of fire and water damage, most cases of mold damage in Lafayette are often difficult to identify and notice. Mold begins as a tiny, imperceptible problem in the home, but silently spreads and grows until someone takes notice of it. By the time mold has become visible, it is often too late to prevent significant damage to the home. Identifying warning signs and indicators of mold damage could end up saving you thousands in remediation and restoration costs, so be sure to look out for these common symptoms in the future.

Foul or Musty Odors

The most common method by which residents identify mold damage in their Lafayette homes is through smell. Many types of mold emit a pungent and typically foul or musty odor. If your home has begun to exhibit unusual and inexplicable smells, either in a single location or across the building, this may be a key warning sign of significant mold damage. Keep in mind that many mold infestations occur behind walls, beneath floors, and above ceilings, so it is not uncommon to smell mold without seeing it.

Dampness or Water Damage

Many cases of water damage SERVPRO deals with also involve some amount of mold remediation - and vice versa. Mold and water damage often go hand-in-hand, and if you have found unusual dampness or moisture in your home, this could be a key sign that mold has taken root somewhere nearby. If you cannot locate the source of the moisture yourself, give SERVPRO a call, as our inspectors carry special thermal imaging tools to help identify the origin of the problem.

Discoloration

Mold often first shows itself through light discoloration. Long before it forms evident and textured colonies, it may spread lightly across a surface without causing significant damage. Look for spots of discoloration around your home, and be wary of all unusual colors that are not simple stains.

Finding the right solution to the mold growth in your home is not a problem that you should put off any longer than necessary. The longer that mold grows unabated in your home, the farther it spreads and the more damage that it ultimately causes. Give our SERVPRO of Lafayette mold remediation technicians a call today at (765) 420-0077.

Can SERVPRO Inspect for Attic Mold In Your Dayton Home?

5/5/2020 (Permalink)

From initial inspections to full removal and remediation strategies, you can reach our certified specialists 24/7.

If You Think A Mold Infestation Is Growing In Your Dayton Attic Call SERVPRO.

Sometimes preventative efforts can be as important as restoration or remediation for your Dayton home. Preventing situations like mold growth from occurring often hinge on your knowledge of the problem areas and their conditions throughout the year. While you can inspect many of these areas yourself to save some time and money, areas like your attic can be difficult to access and might require more technical expertise in identifying mold growth than the average homeowner can provide.

Finding mold damage in your Dayton home can be a cause for alarm, but with the right professional remediation services, you can handle the effects quickly and effectively. Attic mold can be particularly challenging due to its location and lack of foot traffic on a regular basis. This situation can often result from moisture penetrating through the roof, which is exasperated even farther by severely cold temperatures and thinner points of insulation for your home. Often homeowners do not know that this colonization has occurred until its effects have moved to the level beneath the attic and into a more widely used area of the house.

Routine inspections of this area are services that our SERVPRO remediation specialists can provide. We have extensive training in identifying mold growth and the type of microbial threat, making us uniquely qualified to identify colonization and take the necessary steps to remove the growth entirely.

If mold gets discovered, containment strategies begin immediately to prevent the spread to new areas of your home. This initial containment process often requires shutting off the air circulation appliances throughout your home for HVAC inspections, and to prevent active mold spores from traveling to new areas while removal efforts get underway. Our SERVPRO professionals have advanced tools and techniques to remove an active colony entirely, and additionally, our skilled team can help to propose preventative measures like sealing off penetration points in the roof and prolonged use of dehumidification equipment.

Attic mold might seem difficult to identify, but our SERVPRO of Lafayette remediation technicians can help. From initial inspections to full removal and remediation strategies, you can reach our certified specialists 24/7 by calling (765) 420-0077.

Well-Trained and Equipped Crews Are Why SERVPRO Is the Lafayette Fire and Odor Removal Industry Leader

1/13/2020 (Permalink)

Lafayette, SERVPRO will be right there with you for your fire damage.

Let SERVPRO show you all the reasons why for your Lafayette fire damage.

What looks and smells like a chaotic mess in your Lafayette home after a fire follows a scientific arc that is predictable and remediable using research-based strategies and appropriate tools. Our commitment to the highest-quality training for our employees as well as cutting edge equipment is why we deliver consistently superior results.

Debris and Residue Creation and Movement

The soot coatings and stench requiring fire and odor removal in Lafayette have one source. As heat and flames move through your home, the structural components and contents burned and superheated create minute particles of incompletely combusted materials and emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some of these substances remain airborne, and others seek a cooler surface upon which to deposit. The hot air currents can carry debris far from the point of origin. Our comprehension of the process, supported by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) training and experience, is why we swiftly match professional-grade products, techniques, and equipment to eliminate the soot and the smells.

Principles of Fire Damage Cleaning

Our goal is to return the structure and contents of your home to their preloss conditions. We do this by applying the following research-based principles to your specific scenario. Mastery of these principles during IICRC training is why SERVPRO can have your complete confidence.

• Location of residues through careful inspection of all spaces in your home
• Identification of
  • Residue type -- dry, wet, or protein
  • Affected surface characteristics -- porosity, texture, durability
• Followed by a determination of the proper products and techniques to effectively remove residues from damaged surfaces
• Capture and removal of residues by breaking the bonds and releasing the soot into a suspension that carries the particles away
• Disposal of residues according to local regulations and best practices

Basic Deodorization Protocols

Soot and VOCs are also the carriers of odors. Effective deodorization is a science, another reason why SERVPRO invests in up-to-date training and equipment. The general procedure to remove odor includes the following:

• Remove the source and debris
• Clean odor-bearing (sooty) surfaces everywhere in the home
• Recreate conditions causing odors to penetrate -- thermal fogging as an example
• Sealing surfaces that persistently resist other odor controls

Innovative Deodorizing Options

We check out and invest in advanced odor-eliminating technology continuously. Access to hydroxyl generators and ozone machines is why SERVPRO can adapt the basic protocols above to manage your particular situation. These machines change odor-bearing particulates at the molecular level. Neutralized or changed to inoffensive byproducts, the fire damage and odor removal is complete.

Research-based results are why SERVPRO of Lafayette delivers peace of mind after we complete fire and odor removal services. Call (765) 420-0077 to arrange an assessment.

Flood Damage in Battle Ground Home Brings Special Challenges

12/23/2019 (Permalink)

Contact SERVPRO when water damages your home

Removing flood damage from your flooring

When flood damage happens, the first impulse is to clean up the water, and it works until water winds up running behind baseboards, into the carpet, and the sheetrock appears to be wet.

SERVPRO technicians scope the Battle Ground property with flood damage carefully and methodically to locate all areas of water migration. This action is vital because when moisture remains after cleanup, it can lead to issues with both musty odors and mold damage.

Why SERVPRO?

The technicians have extensive training for handling any size flood loss issues on any type of property. They also have access to a diverse array of equipment to perform water extraction on various surfaces as well as specialized drying equipment to leave the property ready for any needed repairs to return it to its preloss condition.

Drying Flooring

When flood water enters, the floor gets wet. The time that passes between exposure and cleanup efforts beginning determines the loss factor. Hardwood flooring, in particular, can look terrible after absorbing water with the boards both cupping or warping. SERVPRO technicians extract as much moisture as possible from the boards and use drying mats to force warm, dry air directly into the boards. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air and port it away, which results in progressively drier air circulating and dries the flooring faster.

Tiles attached with adhesive often delaminate. Whether or not they have the potential for reuse through cleaning is determinate upon the construction materials.

Water Behind Walls

When flood water migrates within a home. It must be removed and dried. SERVPRO technicians sometimes need to perform controlled demolition techniques known as flood cuts to open up the walls for drying. This method involves measuring above the water line on the sheetrock and cutting it away in a straight line. When they locate water behind the baseboards, weep holes assist with drainage, and for more significant issues, the removal of baseboards is standard. The use of the Injecti-Dry systems force air into the wall cavities and ensure they dry completely.

SERVPRO of Lafayette at (765) 420-0077 arrives quickly and cleans up flood damage in your home to make it, "Like it never even happened."

Proven Tips for Dealing with Fire Damage in Indian Village

12/9/2019 (Permalink)

Fire damage in your kitchen calls for quick remediation efforts. Contact team SERVPRO immediately after the fire fighters leave.

Why SERVPRO Fits as Your Indian Village Fire Damage Specialist

The harm done by an Indian Village household fire can affect every structural component and all its contents. Limiting the homeowner's stress during recovery involves engaging a disaster restoration company that can manage each aspect. Our commitment to offering full-spectrum mitigation and remediation services is why we are up to delivering industry best practice results on every phase of a complex project.

Kitchen Fires Create Issues Throughout Your Home 

It can be astounding how pervasive and persistent kitchen fire damage in your Indian Village home becomes. Regardless of how quickly you respond to the blaze, the protein-based residues created by evaporation move quickly on air currents or through the HVAC ductwork in your house. The greasy debris seeks cooler surfaces, often leaving the area of the fire relatively residue-free as they find and adhere to surfaces in far-flung rooms and levels of your home. Tightly adhered, and very malodorous, you cannot chance leaving any of the damage unremediated.

Water and Chemical Residuals Need Attention

Although water is not the substance of choice to quell a grease fire, a chemical extinguisher can fill your kitchen with foam. Water damage can be present if used as the fire spread. SERVPRO addresses fire-fighting residuals early on, drawing on our water damage and general cleaning knowledge and experience.

Utilizing Cleaning Principles

When cleaning different types of fire residues, SERVPRO evaluates the make-up of the residues to determine what kind of cleaning agent and action is most effective. We use the principle that “like dissolves like” constantly when looking for solutions to clear away residues. Since water is of little use when extinguishing a kitchen fire, it should come as no surprise that water-soluble cleaners are not what we reach for when removing protein-based residues. Our technicians use formulas specially developed to loosen the nearly invisible residue, and we also consider agitation and abrasive tools to assist. 

Perseverance for Persistent Odor Problems

Our deodorization experts need to pull out all the stops when it comes to odor abatement after a kitchen fire. SERVPRO uses a multi-step process including debris disposal, deep cleaning, and a consideration of a range of specialized products and equipment that masks, pairs with, or changes the chemical characteristics of the odor-bearing particles. We work with you and your individualized perception of odor until you are satisfied that the smell is gone.

Disaster recovery is hard enough without periodically switching contractors, why SERVPRO of Lafayette pledges to maintain industry certification across many disciplines. Call us at (765) 420-0077 to set things right from top to bottom.

Your Best Guide to Water Removal in Lafayette

11/11/2019 (Permalink)

Contact SERVPRO for effective water removal that goes beyond the surface level to prevent warping.

Why Fast Water Removal Lessens Loss for Lafayette Hardwood Floors

Most homeowners consider their hardwood flooring a substantial investment in the aesthetic of their home. When water damage happens, they know the basics for handling spills and daily maintenance, but broader issues may seem overwhelming. If the dishwater malfunctions in a kitchen or a supply line break is gushing water in a living room with hardwood floors, the cleanup and drying need to happen quickly to limit loss.

When SERVPRO technicians arrive at a Lafayette home for water removal, the technicians determine three factors quickly: 

• Permeance-how easily moisture passes through the wood flooring.
• Exposure time-how long, the flooring received exposure to water.
• Type of wood-different types of flooring needs various restoration methods. Composite wood flooring generally has a poor outcome for prolonged exposure to water vapor. 

Why SERVPRO?

Hardwood flooring requires both specialized extraction equipment and drying techniques for the best outcome. The technicians do several passes over the boards to pull up as much water as possible before moving on to the drying phase. Drying for hardwood floors usually includes the use of drying mats. These thick mats directly force warm, dry air into the boards, pushing water vapor out and leave the floor ready for refinishing if needed. 

Signs of Water Damage to Wood Flooring

Simply put: wood expands when exposed to water. The longer it is exposed, the more it buckles or warps. The technicians carefully monitor the drying process, as over drying on the bottom tends to cause the wood to crown. The outcome is unmistakable with boards that bow upwards, and this is an issue that cannot be sanded down after drying. 

Another common problem is hardwood flooring that is held together with water-soluble glues tends to not hold up against prolonged exposure to water. SERVPRO technicians handle hardwood flooring very carefully during the restoration process to avoid problems such as crowning. 

When your hardwood floor needs water removal for any type of water loss, call SERVPRO of Lafayette at (765) 420-0077. The certified technicians have both the experience and equipment for the best outcome to your floor, "Like it never even happened."

Call Us For Help After A Fire Damage Incident In Your Battle Ground Home

10/23/2019 (Permalink)

Our experts are ready 24/7 to help after a fire causes damage to your home.

Why Hire SERVPRO to Handle Fire Damage in Your Battle Ground Home

Fire accidents in homes occur mostly because of cooking equipment. The National Fire Protection Association states that 43 percent of reported home structure fires begin in the kitchen. A fire incident can lead to property damage and other problems that can affect your quality of life. All the paper, wood, clothing, and other synthetic or organic matter that burned can transform into soot.

Soot can end up settling on many surfaces throughout your home, even if the fire happened in one room. Repairing the fire damage in your Battle Ground home can be expensive, especially if you do not take quick action. SERVPRO franchise professionals can help you reverse the damage caused by fire. We can inspect your home and then take steps to eliminate all soot, smoke, and other residues. Before our restoration team arrives, you can do the following things:

• Contact your insurance agent to start documenting the fire loss and initiating your claim.
• Separate the undamaged materials from the damaged ones. If you can find the receipts of ruined items, that could help. Providing photos along with a list of damaged items is useful when filing a claim.
• Read and acknowledge the specifics of the fire report that the responding fire department issued and ensure that you get a copy.

Soot residue is acidic and can cause the metal in plumbing fixtures, doorknobs, and light fixtures to corrode or pit. It can also etch the glass in mirrors, cabinets, and windows, causing them to appear soiled and cloudy. Soot residues can also discolor appliances, plastics, fabrics, and vinyl windows. Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Technicians (FSRTs) can remove acidic soot residues from affected structures and contents.

It is easier to clean smooth, non-porous surfaces than it is to clean fabric items. A simple cleaning or wipe down can be sufficient. Upholstered furniture may require shampooing, airing out, and treating. Our SERVPRO team can assess each item or surface to choose the most suitable restoration method. For instance, when cleaning the interiors of wood or paneled cabinets, we can use dry cleaning sponges to remove the residues. If the residues remain, our restorers can use denatured alcohol so that smoke residues do not set into the pores of the wood. To remove residues from window glass, we can use low-alkaline glass cleaners.

In the unfortunate event of a fire in your home, call SERVPRO of Lafayette for prompt restoration. You can reach our experts anytime at (765) 420-0077. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

• Submersible pumps are suitable for situations involving more than two inches of water
• Rovers which are ride-on units are beneficial when carpeting is heavily saturated, the weight of the technician compresses carpet fibers and results in more efficient water removal

Our technicians do several passes to remove the maximum amount of moisture to expedite the drying process. Water has a unique musty odor that sometimes lingers after drying. SERVPRO technicians wipe down all water-affected surfaces with our professional-grade cleaning solutions, and this usually eliminates any remaining odors.

Storm Damage

Storm damage strikes in Lafayette with flash floods being a particular threat from the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers. The problem with groundwater is when it enters a home, it brings everything it encounters along the way. This means chemicals, debris, and sewage all have the potential to wind up in your living room. When this type of water enters your home, it carries a rating as a category three biohazard. SERVPRO recommends homeowners avoid contact with the water, and our technicians test it for contaminants upon arrival, so we know what we are dealing with during flood cleanup and give property owners the best outcome.

Water extraction during a house flood often involves a certain number of controlled demolition techniques. Even in cases where the groundwater entered the home and receded quickly, it is not uncommon to find large amounts of excessive moisture wicked into sheetrock. The tell-tale signs are warping and buckling. We measure about one foot above the waterline and cleanly cut it away. This serves the dual purpose of stopping any further migration of water and allows for a more significant amount of airflow behind the wall for thorough drying.

When flood damage hits a property, unfortunately, porous items such as carpet and padding or sofa pillows that take on the water are usually counted as a loss as they do not have the potential to return to sanitary standards for reuse. SERVPRO technicians inspect items as they clean away the debris and flood loss to determine which items have restoration potential. Our goal is always to save homeowners the cost of replacement whenever possible.

After clearing out debris from the residence, we dry and sanitize the structure and prep it for any needed reconstruction. To assist with expediting insurance claims, we provide homeowners with our Contents Claim Inventory System that accounts for each item our technicians handled during the restoration services process and includes specific actions as well as before and after photographs.

Mold Remediation

It is a tough diagnosis for your Lafayette home to need mold remediation. The bottom line is that mold is a result of a more significant issue. It might be an unchecked leak, poor ventilation, or moisture that was not extracted and dried correctly. Our Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians have the skills to not only locate mold colonies in your home but also diagnose the reason they set up house in your residence in the first place and how to fix the issue.

SERVPRO technicians professionally remove the visible effects of mold damage to your home and safely contain the workspace to ensure the spores do not spread. We pay special attention to the HVAC ductwork as airborne spores often make their way there. Our technicians thoroughly clean the ductwork and vents. We follow up with the application of antimicrobial sealers in the areas of remediation to inhibit the return of mold infestations.

Fire Damage

Fire damage in a Lafayette property is one of the most costly disasters a homeowner faces. During the initial information gathering phone call, our technicians advise property owners to take a few actions to minimize the spread of soot throughout the home such as closing off the affected area and turning off the HVAC as soot travels fast and easy through the ductwork and soon you wind up with residual fire odors throughout the home.

We remove charred debris and building materials using many of the controlled demolition techniques applied during flood damage mitigation. If the fire extinguishing efforts used water, we extract it as fast as possible to minimize any further damage. While we remove fire loss items from the house (with the approval of the homeowner or adjuster), we look for things with restoration potential.

There are several cleaning techniques to restore nonporous things to their preloss condition, such as immersion cleaning. Item inspection is vital to the fire cleanup process as items that seem damaged beyond recovery can sometimes actually have restoration potential for reuse. Once SERVPRO completes fire damage cleanup, we move on to odor control. Airborne soot particles often require multiple applications, but our technicians do not cease until we have eradicated odors from the property.

Why SERVPRO? Our technicians undergo extensive training and certifications before they ever set foot on a property. We maintain the highest level of standards and best practices as taught through The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification programs. Our technicians also continue their education as advancements in the restoration services industry occur.

Contact SERVPRO of Lafayette at (765) 420-0077 when you need fast, efficient restoration services from fire damage, water, and storm loss as well as mold remediation. We arrive onsite within an hour after your initial call and work until we make the loss to your property "Like it never even happened."

Water Removal Services in Indian Village

Clogged rain gutters can cause flood damage in your home.

Professional Water Removal for Flooded Homes

Plumbing problems such as broken pipes, overflowing septic systems, and leaks are one of the leading causes of flooding in Indian Village homes. If a water pipe breaks while you are away, your house could sustain extensive water damage. Drainage problems (whether from a clogged floor drain or a clogged rain gutter) can also cause massive flooding when the trapped water backs up and rises high enough to overflow into the house.

If unfortunately, you come home to a flooded house, SERVPRO has a team of highly trained technicians in Indian Village who can provide complete water removal services. We work together following IICRC guidelines to reverse any water damage sustained, extract the water, and then dry your property to pre loss conditions. Our catalog also includes repairing and rebuilding broken or ruined structural components.

Before we can begin the water removal process, we have to scope the area to determine the extent to which the water has migrated throughout the structure. SERVPRO technicians also use moisture detection devices to verify that the area has been dried properly. We have moisture sensors for detecting moisture in walls, carpets, and baseboards, as well moisture meters for determining the actual moisture content in different materials. The moisture tester, on the other hand, provides specific moisture readings that allow us to monitor the drying process.

Thermo-hygrometers are also highly effective in the water removal process, as they help us measure both relative humidity and temperature. By using these two readings alongside a psychrometric chart, SERVPRO professionals can be able to calculate vapor pressure, dew point, and specific humidity in your home.

Extraction is the best way to remove moisture from a structure. A quick and efficient water removal process is important to allow the environment to dry much faster. SERVPRO water damage experts use extractors in cleaning carpets and upholstery, as well as in removing standing water from the floors. Extractors can be portable or truck-mounted, but the former is more efficient at accessing inside structures.

Water leakage in the house can lead to flooding and, consequently, all sorts of water damage. If you need quick water removal services today, SERVPRO of Lafayette is more than ready to assist. We have a stock of industry-standard equipment for any emergency, all at your disposal. For any help, call us anytime at (765) 420-0077.

If You Require Water Cleanup Services In Indian Village, Our Crew Is Here To Help!

In case you need to clean up your property in Lafayette, Battle Ground or Dayton areas after water loss, call SERVPRO of Lafayette.

Why Involve SERVPRO During Water Cleanup In Indian Village

When water from burst pipes or broken appliances leaks, it can cause severe damages including mold development, rot, and rust among others. Even when such spillage is caught in time, thorough cleanup in the affected areas is necessary to deal with any soiling, odor and other problems that develop after such incidents. We offer professional cleanup services in Indiana that rely on our advanced skills.

One of the critical aspects of proper water cleanup in Indian Village is neatness. Water migrates to different areas in the house, and in a bid to remove it, the restoration team might need to move contents around the rooms. All items should revert to their original places after the cleanup process is over. Our SERVPRO technicians rely on their skills and vast experience to move items conveniently then place them in their original position later, leaving your place looking neat.

Depending on the water source and the location of the spill, water soils property in different ways. Dirty sources such as broken appliances soil the affected areas with detergents, food remains and other debris. Broken pipes, on the other hand, can soil affected areas with dust collected from the ceiling and wall cavities or paint chippings that come off surfaces as the water flows. Some procedures such as drilling weep holes also contribute to the debris left. Our SERVPRO technicians use cleaning agents and tools such as brushes or automatic multi-surface scrubbers to remove all debris from surfaces.

One of the toughest aspects of the cleanup process is removing all water. Pooling water is manageable with buckets, mops and water extractors. However, the water that soaks into materials can be harder to remove. Our SERVPRO technicians remove it effectively through evaporation. We use air movers to increase the average levels of evaporation and then use dehumidifiers to extract the moisture from the air. We also use specialized equipment such as drying mats and injectidry systems especially for materials such as tiles or hardwood floors, which are hard to penetrate.

In case you need to clean up your property in Lafayette, Battle Ground or Dayton areas after water loss, call SERVPRO of Lafayette. You can reach us at (765) 420-0077 any time. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.
