Mold Removal Importance for Plantation Properties

5/2/2023 (Permalink)

Inspect your home often for signs of mold damage. And call SERVPRO to remediate an mold issue your property might have.

Property Maintenance in the Face of Mold Damage in Plantation 

Any indication of mold development at your Plantation property is a significant problem. If improperly addressed, it might fester or keep recurring. The colonies devastate organic structural materials as they feed on them to fuel their growth. Mold removal by SERVPRO's IICRC trained team curtails such development and reinstates physically changed areas.

Properly completing mold removal in your Plantation home can ensure its longevity and maintain its value like many of the historical buildings in the city that stand to this day. Therefore, SERVPRO invests in high-tech cleaning and drying equipment for adequate remediation. Visiting different historic properties in the area allows one to explore varying building materials used over the years and see how they fare against general wear and tear or mold.

Notable Historical Properties in Plantation

  • The Deicke House: The mid-century modern home built in 1950 is one of the few remaining in the area. It features a flat roof, large windows, and clean lines.
  • The Lagoon House: The home was built in 1915 and served as a cultural center. It retains its original woodwork.
  • Old Davie School Historical Museum: The museum is housed in a former school building constructed in 1918 and features exhibits of the history of surrounding areas.
  • The Plantation Fire Station: The building was built in 1959 and maintained well over its lifetime. It currently serves as a fire station. 

With natural enemies like mold threatening your property, maintaining it in top condition for several decades takes many things, including timely remediation such as SERVPRO offers, replacing and upgrading some materials. Plantation, FL, has many notable businesses where you can access the products and services that you need. Several independent contractors like Sunstar Cooling & Heating, Prime Choice Commercial Heating and Air Conditioning, or Plantation AC Services can help keep your HVAC running correctly and avoid hidden leaks that breed molds.

The moisture that fuels mold proliferation can also attract pests such as termites. Service providers such as Arrest-A-Pest, Inc, On Demand Pest Control, and Costa Pest Control can help you regain control. 

SERVPRO of Plantation / Sunrise SE works diligently to guarantee successful mold removal. Call us at (954) 710-8544. 

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.

SERVPRO Can Conduct Mold Remediation in Your Sunrise Home

9/20/2022 (Permalink)

Mold remediation services by SERVPRO are second to none. We have all the equipment and experience needed for your home.

Mold Remediation in Sunrise Requires Professionals

Mold has adverse effects on the structural integrity of your house and the quality of its contents, which creates a huge menace to homeowners. Mold has also become a component that homebuyers and sellers frequently inspect. There is also the possibility of some restorers taking advantage of you since some types of molds can be critical.

You can count on SERVPRO to get out of this mess unscathed. We have qualified professionals who perform mold remediation in Sunrise homes. When hiring the team to handle your mold problem, some of the things that should determine your decision are:

  • Wearing safety gear when dealing with mold. SERVPRO requires this with all of our technicians.
  • Professional equipment like HEPA vacuums, air scrubbers, and commercial-grade dehumidifiers might not be available to the regular handyman.
  • The remediators who carry out the restoration process should be able to help you cut costs and save time.
  • As far as experience goes, it is good to go for companies with over ten years of experience in the restoration business.

After sealing the area mold has affected, our SERVPRO technicians can remove the mold physically from its source, after which we use air exchange techniques and air scrubbers with HEPA filters to clean the air of mold spores that become airborne. This process effectively replaces moldy air with fresh air using simple ventilation setups or even the more sophisticated negative air pressure controls, suitable for bigger tasks.

SERVPRO usually discards porous and moldy building materials like insulation, baseboards, and drywall since they are impossible to restore and inexpensive to replace. We can then apply antimicrobial products to eliminate the remaining mold before using an encapsulant or sealer to ensure that treated areas exhibit more water and mold damage resistance. The sealer also helps to control odor.

For comprehensive mold remediation in your home, contact SERVPRO of Plantation / Sunrise SE at (954) 280-8282. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

SERVPRO of Plantation: Why I Chose It

4/10/2019 (Permalink)

Why SERVPRO of Plantation?

SERVPRO of Plantation was the restoration company I had decided to purchase, but many people aren’t sure why I made this decision. The funny thing is, before I was an owner, I was a customer of SERVPRO! I had had water damage in my apartment and, like most, I wasn’t really sure who to call. In my mind, one restoration service must be as good as another, right?

Well I can tell you I was wrong. I decided to go with SERVPRO because I remembered them as industry leaders in restoration services. Their tagline “Like it never even happened.” had gotten stuck in my head somewhere along the line. I placed a call and within a day they were at my apartment giving me an assessment. Even though I found my self in a decidedly unpleasant situation (my apartment being flooded) I began to feel relief as soon as SERVPRO arrived on the scene. The speed of the response began to set me at ease

The Process

What happened next, I couldn’t believe. The entire experience was, for me, completely top-notch. The professionalism of the technicians, the superiority of their equipment and the overall quality and attention to detail of their work left me in awe. I was beyond satisfied, and after my apartment was restored I was left thinking.

My father worked in hospitality, and instilled in me from a young age the importance of good customer service. This core value of mine I saw reflected in all that SERVPRO had done for me. I was hooked.

From that point, I decided that I wanted to be a part of that outstanding experience for others, even though they may be in a hard situation. I made the move and became owner of SERVPRO of Plantation, and the rest, as they say, is History.  I'm glad to go by #TypoSERVPRO now!

Don't let it get worse before it gets better.

Contaminated Water: Three Tips for Oakland Park

4/3/2019 (Permalink)

Contaminated Water: Three tips

What you do right after a flood can have a major impact to your safety and health; the same goes for what you don't do.  When dealing with flood water damage, it's important to get the water out of the way, but you should be sure to pay attention to these tips when dealing with the flooding in the Oakland Park or Plantation Florida area.

1. Dangers of exposure to contaminated water

Water that has been still after a flood is many times considered black water or stage 3 water. It may contain dangerous pollutants that could harm your health if you come in contact with it. If it comes into contact with your skin or it accidentally gets in your system either by fumes, consuming or it entering a wound, it can have disastrous effects.  Keep your loved ones or your pets away from it.

When the time comes to get rid of the water and to resolve the water damage, be smart and call a professional like SERVPRO of Plantation.  If for some reason you choose to do it yourself despite the dangers or the fact that the issue may come back if not properly handled, make sure you at least use the correct safety equipment.  We highly advise against handling this kind of damage yourself. But if you must make sure you use heavy duty water proof equipment as well as a respirator and eye protection.

2. Be aware of, turn off and stay away from sources of electricity

ANY time there is a large flood or pooled water source, you must be aware that the water may be made even more dangerous by any possible electric wires nearby.  If you are working in a specific area within your home, it is highly advised to shut off all power sources to reduce the risk of getting shocked.  Even more so, doing this can help you reduce the amount of damage to your electric system within your home.

You should always reach out to a professional before putting your life at risk or your family's life at risk. Especially when handling a flood situation or a situation that may include short circuited electric systems or live wires.

3. Handle these problems immediately

Especially in the case of water damage, it is important for you to handle the situation as quickly as possible.  That is why it is highly important to call SERVPRO of Plantation because the more time that has passed, the more likely mold has begun to grow and to spread. Mold can begin to grow in a flooded home in 24 to 72 hours. 

In general it is important to remove yourself from the situation of dealing with contaminated water or water that may be exposed to open live power lines.  These situations may cause harm to your health or even danger to your life.

Don't let it get worse before it gets better.

Black Mold in your Sea Ranch Lakes or Davie home?

Black Mold Example

Black mold can be a tricky problem to handle - Learn the basics.

Your normal may not be so normal - is black mold affecting health?

Many mold types can cause allergic reactions and irritate your loved ones, especially Black Mold.  It's important that you reach out to a specialized black mold remediation company like SERVPRO of Plantation whenever you see any kind of mold.  Different types of mold can affect your home, even at the same time.  If you believe that you have a mold issue give a professional team like SERVPRO right away.  Black Mold grows and spreads very quickly, so every minute counts!

What We Need To Understand About Black Mold?

If you have any sort of water damage, mold can usually start to grow within the first 48 to 72 hours depending on the size of the leak.  Keep in mind these following facts about Black Mold:

  • Spores from mold are so tiny that you cannot see them.  Which makes their spread even more easy as they may travel through the home without you even knowing.  Travelling through moving air, they can pass through many openings in your home and even stick to surfaces like walls, clothing, pets etc.
  • Mold feeds off of moisture, so anywhere excess moisture is created or left or even trapped serves as a breeding ground for black mold.  Even worse is the fact that moisture isn't always immediately seen or felt.
  • Areas that may be affected by black mold have to be prepped properly so the spread doesn't continue or so that the problem doesn't come back or persist after treatment.  This is especially why it is important to reach out to a professional like SERVPRO who has the proper training and equipment to handle these areas and those situations.
  • Black mold can possibly produce strong odors and spores that may affect the health of those in contact with it.  On the contrary there are types of mold that don't have an immediately noticeable smell or health effect.  A specialist should be contacted so that they can truly test whatever microbial growth is in the area to see if it is mold and how to handle it.

Nobody will "know" what it is until it is tested.

After the Storm: Important Tips - SERVPRO Plantation

9/19/2018 (Permalink)

Be careful to take certain precautions after the storm has passed. Damage to your home can have a dramatic emotional impact, and it's best to have a plan before the storm strikes for how to reenter your home. Having a plan, and being aware of certain risks, will minimize the threat of harm to you or your family after the storm.  

Keep these after the storm tips in mind:

  • Make sure that you have current identification. You may have to pass through identification check points before being allowed access to your home/neighborhood.  
  • Avoid metal fences and other metal objects near downed lines. 
  • DO NOT use matches in a storm ravaged area until all gas lines are checked for leaks (keep flashlights and plenty of batteries at hand).   
  • Stay tuned to local news organizations, such as a radio or television station, for important announcements, bulletin, and instructions concerning the storm area.
  • Remember that, after the storm, you may not have immediate access to your home. Emergency rescue crews, power crews and other personnel may be attending to special needs. Roads could be blocked, power lines could be down and people may be trapped and in need of assistance.  
  • Use a camera or camcorder to record thoroughly any damage done to your home before any repairs are attempted.  
  • In certain areas, the flooding rains that accompany a storm can create pest problems. Be aware of potential pest problems in your area, such as mice, rats, insects or snakes that may have "come with the storm". 
  • Make sure that you have current identification. You may have to pass through identification check points before being allowed access to your home/neighborhood.  
  • Avoid driving as roads may be blocked after the storm.
  • Avoid sight-seeing or entering a storm ravaged area unnecessarily. You could be mistaken for a looter.  
  • Avoid downed power lines even if they look harmless.
  • Avoid turning the power on at your home if there is flooding present. Have a professional conduct a thorough inspection first.  
  • Consider having professionals/licensed contractors inspect your home for damage and help in repairs. This includes electricians, as well as professionals to inspect gas lines, remove uprooted trees and check plumbing.
  • Remember that downed or damaged trees can contain power lines that can be a hazard after the storm.  
  • Telephone lines will likely be busy in the area; use a phone only for emergencies.
  • Flooding brings with it the risk of waterborne bacterial contamination.
  • After the storm you should assume that the water is not safe and use properly stored water or boil your tap water.

These are just a few ideas to be thinking about before and after a severe storm hits. Remember to keep your radio tuned to a station issuing emergency bulletins and updates with the latest information.

We often only focus on the before when it comes to storms (you can see our tips for before the storm here) but knowing what to do after is just as important.
