SERVPRO Offers Fast Mold Cleanup Services to Residents of Mattapan

Quick response to emergencies is why SERVPRO is highly regarded in mold damage remediation. It is common knowledge that disasters do not give a warning, and they need an immediate response when they happen. You can count on our technicians when you need urgent mold removal services, irrespective of the size of the contamination.

Since we use the right tools during mold cleanup in Mattapan, our projects are always a success. Immediately upon arriving, our SERVPRO technicians do a mold inspection to find out the areas already affected by the contamination. If the water's source is still running, we must stop it and extract any standing water.

Before the mold remediation process can start, containment measures must be implemented. Mold spores are light and can readily circulate to unaffected areas if disturbed. During containment, we can use plastic sheeting to set up physical barriers so that the spores and debris do not escape the site during remediation. We also seal off the ducts and vents of your HVAC system to prevent their spread to other areas within the building.

Our SERVPRO technicians use specialized tools such as reciprocating saws, sledgehammers, crowbars, utility knives, and chisels during mold-controlled demolition. The tools help us cut off replaceable sections of the affected flooring, drywall, insulation, and other materials. Using air scrubbers enables us to trap the mold spores dislodged from surfaces during demolition.

 Light Mold Removal

When the infestation is minor, less than several square feet of surface, we can remove the colonies with the following:

• Scraping
• Portable hand-held vacuums with HEPA filters
• Bicarbonate of soda blasting to abrade the surface

Our team uses appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPP). It is common to see us wearing protective suits, respirators, and gloves. We also ensure the contaminants collected during mold remediation are disposed of according to the EPA standards.

Contact SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Roslindale at (857) 399-9797 and schedule a professional mold damage remediation process. Our highly trained team uses the latest technology to make every affected site "Like it never even happened."

Mattapan Mold Damage Can Happen in Many Areas

SERVPRO in Mattapan is your local mold damage remediation expert. Contact us today should you have any damage.

SERVPRO Removes Mold Damage in Your Home

Many mistakenly believe that mold growth will go away naturally or that these organisms do not threaten a residence. There are several ways that developing colonies can impact your life, including:

• Structural Damage
• Unpleasant Living Conditions
• Harsh Malodors
• Continual Spore Spreading
• Moist Environments

Mattapan mold damage is a continual threat in the area with how homes contend with humidity and groundwater concerns throughout the year. It is essential to know where to look to find possible mold growth.

Where is the Mold Damage in Your Home?

Mold colonies are not always out in the open, nor are they always easily seen or identified. Knowing where they are most likely to form and appear can allow you to be more attentive and observant in these areas for environmental or aesthetic changes that might signal a need for mold inspections. Common places to find microbial threats include:

• Basement - The basement is a crucial area to find mold because it tends to stay damp, is away from direct sun exposure, and provides direct access to the rest of the house through the subflooring. 
• Attic - When the roof allows water or flood penetration, the entire attic can be moist and capable of supporting mold.
• Bathroom - Steam, overflows, spills, persistent moist conditions, and poor ventilation make a bathroom susceptible to mold growth.
• Kitchen - The kitchen contends with steam, spills, and possible water leaks. Moisture of this nature over time can create an environment for mold. 
• Crawlspace - This designed space beneath the main floor of your home might safeguard the residence from threats of flooding, but moisture and pooling water can create ideal conditions for mold development. 

Containing the Mold Damage

Among the chief priorities of responding technicians when active mold scenarios are underway is containing the affected areas. Spores continually maneuver to find new hosting materials and susceptible surfaces for colonization, so physical barriers and filtration equipment combine to stop the movement of these damaging spores to areas beyond the present work zone. Plastic sheeting and temporary wall systems are among the most direct containment approaches, sealing over vents and returns for the HVAC system. 

Mold Colony Removal Solutions

There are several ways that our SERVPRO team can remove active mold organisms from a household. Using organic materials like drywall and flooring as a host for the colonies, the approach for remediation varies based on the condition of the affected material and the severity of the infestation. Surface cleaning is the preferred approach with antimicrobial products, but this is not always feasible when more aggressive methods like soda blasting or demolition are necessary. 

Lingering Odors Must Get Removed

Musty odors are a typical product of active mold threats, making them one of the more challenging conditions to overcome when remediation gets underway. These malodors spread considerably from the colony, which can be beneficial in identifying active threats but formidable when neutralizing these smells through the cleanup and restoration processes. We have powerful deodorants and counteractant products before deploying neutralizing equipment like foggers or hydroxyl machines.

Repairs and Reconstruction Services 

One of the advantages of choosing a team that is already equipped with IICRC certifications and a general contractor license is being able to manage the entire needs of the property, starting with the mitigation. An essential task of our licensed contractors is preventing recurrences of mold damage, which means repairing structural vulnerabilities that allow moisture penetration or the needed repairs to improve structural integrity after prolonged mold exposures. 

With the underappreciated threat of Mattapan mold damage events, we can identify developing microbial colonies and perform necessary remediation to resolve it. We work quickly from the time you first call through the removal and recovery processes. Give our SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Roslindale team a call today at (857) 399-9797.

Indoor Air and Mold Damage in Mattapan

1/1/2023 (Permalink)

Finding mold in your home or work space can be frightening. Contact our certified team to investigate and figure out the cause and to remediate.

SERVPRO Can Remediate Mold and Restore Indoor Air Quality

Grey, black or green spots on the walls and ceilings of your home can indicate an underlying mold problem. These fungi are microscopic organisms that thrive in damp or humid environments. In the right conditions, these organisms can grow and reproduce in as little as seventy-two hours, leading to more spots and more damaged surfaces. SERVPRO is a licensed remediation professional that can help to abate microbial infestation in your property.

Our services

• Mold assessment following an inspection
• Mold Remediation
• Mold removal whenever possible from structural elements

Discovering mold damage in your Mattapan home can be distressing. We have all heard horror stories of microbial infestations that have destroyed buildings from top to bottom. At SERVPRO, we take a calm approach to microbial issues. Usually, these problems are resolvable with minimal expense to a homeowner and require a professional and pragmatic approach. We do not believe in expensive laboratory testing- which can be unnecessarily time-consuming- and prefer to rely on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards when performing a remediation assessment.

Indoor air quality can sometimes suffer from microbial infestation due to the release of spores or through remediation if materials are demolished. Our IICRC-certified technicians can deploy air filtration devices (AFDs) to help restore indoor air quality at the end of the remediation process. AFDs are fitted with a series of filters (HEPA-grade) and a vacuum component that can remove microscopic particulates from an indoor environment. By running these machines at the end of service, we can return your home to its preloss condition after mold abatement.

• HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air filter, which is fitted in our AFD equipment.
• AFDs use charcoal filters alongside conventional and synthetic mesh to remove the smallest particles from an indoor environment.
• These devices are suitable for use in homes with young children, senior citizens, or pets.

To restore your home from infestation, contact SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Rosindale for mold damage remediation at (857) 399-9797.

Homeowners Trust Our Expert Mold Remediation Techs

When you encounter an area in your Mattapan home coated in a flurry of discolored and musty stuff, your home needs expert mold remediation. SERVPRO technicians receive specialized training in performing scaled services beyond what many people consider “mold removal.”

When our technicians work on your home in Mattapan, they perform mold remediation tasks proven to protect your family’s personal belongings. Our technicians and their training are why we are a highly trusted company.

In-depth training, using IICRC-certified technicians, extensive experience, and high-tech equipment make mold remediation work quickly, creating less inconvenience for our customers while ensuring the following:

• Elimination of damp conditions,
• Cleaning of the air, 
• Protection against re-infestation, and
• Rebuilding of any destroyed structures.

Setting up our dehumidifiers and desiccation machines isn’t enough. We need to locate all the places where mold is obtaining moisture and get them sealed off to keep your home’s interior environment at the correct humidity. Completing everything might require more than a plumber. Much can contribute to increased moisture in your residence, from gaps in your roof to cracks in your basement.

To help protect your property from future infestations and dense mold colonies, we use our air scrubbers to remove airborne spores. These spores float along on air currents, with those landing on a food source with close access to enough moisture forming new colonies. A reduced number of spores means a reduced chance of future mold problems.

Spraying porous surfaces with a particular mold inhibitor can prevent future infestations. New mold particles and spores continually enter your dwelling. Making the interior less hospitable can keep microbes from re-colonizing.

Microbes can destroy drywall by causing it to disintegrate. The frame under the drywall can also become mold-infested. We can use dry ice pellets to freeze and blast the mold. Once mold-free, we can do reconstructive work and make everything “Like it never even happened.” 

The technicians at SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Roslindale know what your home needs when mold gets out of hand. Call us at (857) 399-9797 for fast service.

Signs of Water Damage in the Basement | SERVPRO® of Roslindale/Hyde Park

6/15/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Roslindale/Hyde Park is a full restoration company. Our restoration experts are on call 24/7 and ready to help.

Many homeowners find their basement to be a great resource. It’s very utilitarian, serving as everything from a storm shelter to a bonus bedroom to some much-needed storage space.

Basements, however, have an inherent issue: They’re dug into the ground, which means they’re susceptible to water damage from the ground around them over time.

While this is not an absolute certainty, you’ll definitely want to be aware of the risks of water damage from the underground as you go forward in home ownership. Let’s examine some of the most likely indicators of water damage and leaks, so you know what you’re looking for in the fight against interior moisture.

What to Look for to Determine Possible Water Damage

Unpleasant, musky odors. Water that seeps into the basement from underground may in fact be clean to begin with, but it doesn’t take long for it to stagnate, causing that signature musty odor. This happens so frequently, in fact, that many people assume basements simply smell that way all the time. In actuality, though, the pungent smell will only arise when mold and mildew are present in the environment,. While you may not see mold or mildew right away, the smell is a dead giveaway that there may be a problem.

Flaking paint on masonry or walls. Many people assume that waterproof paint is a foolproof solution for basement dryness. Unfortunately, even the most advanced paint will give way over time, beginning to crack, flake and bubble, eventually creating a larger problem than you would have encountered without waterproof paint.

Foundational cracks. Homes do often experience some mild shifting over a period of many years, but a real crack in the foundation is a tipoff that there may be a major leak somewhere that needs immediate attention. Cracks can also show up in the floor, the ceiling or in your walls and are often a sign that there is water damage that could progress into something worse. Hairline cracks are no cause for alarm, but if they become any larger, they should be treated immediately.

If you notice any of these signs in your basement, let us take a look. Our expert water restoration technicians can help you determine what is causing these issues and how to treat it properly. Contact us today to learn more.

A Guide to Flash Floods After Severe Weather Occurs | SERVPRO® of Hyde Park/Roslindale

11/23/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Hyde Park/Roslindale is your local water & storm restoration expert. We will get the job done right, contact us today.

While many weather events get a bad reputation as being dangerous or deadly, many people do not consider flooding to be included in this list. Many people are surprised to find that flooding is second only to heat deaths in total weather-related fatalities in the United States, and flash floods are especially dangerous.

One of the reasons why flash floods can be so deadly is because they come about suddenly, and even areas not prone to flooding can be impacted. Even a small drainage pond or blocked sewer system can lead to a dangerous flash flood if enough rain falls, which is why knowing the facts about safety is key.

How Are Flash Floods Defined?

While regular floods occur slowly, flash floods start within six hours of extreme rain after a storm or other severe weather, and often occur in as little as three hours. Additionally, they are rarely found in known floodplains and instead are frequently occurring in urban areas and other parts of towns that are not used to floods occurring traditionally.

What Are the Levels of Warning Present for Flash Flooding?

Because flash floods happen so quickly, it is important to tune into your local weather broadcast during storms and severe weather so you can always be alerted to their possibility. If there is a flash flood watch issued, that means that it is a possibility that a flash flood might occur and you should be sure you are ready to evacuate. For a flash flood warning, flooding is more imminent and everyone should move to higher ground. If an emergency is issued, that means to move immediately as there are life-threatening flood issues taking place.

How Can I Increase My Safety During a Flash Flood?

Being safe is so important during any storm or severe weather event, especially when flash floods become a possibility. These are some of the best rules to keep in mind to make sure you and your family are always as safe as possible:

• When storms involve heavy rain, stay inside and away from low-lying parts of properties.
• Always have an evacuation plan for floods and be sure your family is aware of it.
• Avoid trying to cross floodwater, whether in a vehicle or on foot.
• Avoid touching floodwater or allowing children to play near it, as it can be heavily contaminated.
• Always turn around if there is water on your intended route of travel.

If your home or business has been damaged due to a flood or other severe weather, you can depend on us. Contact us at any hour 857-399-9797 to learn more about our services or to report damage to your property.

Trauma & Clean Up

Technician in personal protective equipment while cleaning a trauma site

If you are in the hospitality business then you know that fatalities happen in the facility. Maybe more than you would like. 

Under the Federal Government and Department of Labor, OSHA has created regulations concerning the handling of items or objects that may have been contaminated with blood and/or bodily fluids. These regulations are in place to not only protect the general public but also, the professionals doing the cleaning. Potential pathogens in bodily fluids include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and prions. It is extremely important that the standards are abided to not only to prevent the spread of possible disease but also to avoid hefty fines from the Environmental Protection Agency EPA.

It is important to note that cleaning cannot and will not begin at a trauma site until police actions are completed and the site is released by police. We stress the importance of performing quality cleaning services to prevent cross contamination. For this reason we clean the ceiling down to the floor. Our techs will be in special protective gear and use EPA certified products to clean the affected areas.

Time is of the essence when dealing with cleaning a trauma site because the longer the pathogen settles the harder it is to clean the surface and eliminate contaminates.  Because we have experience in this field our team already knows the process and what to do – so you can be rest assured the cleanup will be done right and under Federal standards.  Call SERVPRO of Mattapan & Hyde Park when you need us 857-399-9797!

Emergency Ready Plan - Multiple ways to access to ensure you are always ready

When accidents strike they do not care whether you are prepared or not! As a business it is vital that you know what to do, who to call, and how you will bounce back in the event of an emergency.  The fact is that as many as one in four businesses that suffer a major disaster will not reopen afterward. Do not let your business become a statistic!

Here at SERVPRO Mattapan & Hyde Park we pride ourselves in being a resource to the businesses in our community. It is important to us that the businesses in our community and surrounding communities survive. SERVPRO has a Free Emergency Ready Profile that your business can use to help prepare you in the event of a major disaster. Studies show that the faster you can react to a disaster it lowers the damage done. The profile helps store everything you need such as contact information, locations of shut off valves, pictures and so much more to help in the event there is a disaster. The profile you create for your business is also useful to us as it will inform us of where our vehicles should park in the event of a loss. This is helpful in the event you do not want to bring public attention to the fact that your business is experiencing some kind of loss. 

We understand you may already have a facilities manager or be a facilities manager who knows the ins and outs of the building. The profile is not meant to replace a facilities manager in any way – it’s a resource for them.  Anything can happen and as a business you want to make sure whoever is nearby can pick up your profile and depending on the type of disaster know exactly who to contact and what to do if anything.

The Emergency Ready Profile can be distributed in digital form and/or hard copy. We understand that as a business too much time cannot be wasted, for that reason the profile can be completed within 30 minutes.  If you are interested in creating an Emergency Ready Profile for your business Call us today 857-399-9797. We will set up a time for an office representative to go to your business to fill out the profile for you for free!
