What can SERVPRO do for you if you have water damage?

11/28/2022 (Permalink)

As a property owner, it might seem cheaper to handle water damage issues yourself than hire a professional. After all, it just requires getting rid of the water, right? But water damage restoration involves much more, and hiring a water removal company can save you a lot of money in the long run.

The team at SERVPRO of North Kenner Harahan & Lakeview, a full-service water damage restoration company in the Greater New Orleans area, has outlined the following benefits of hiring a restoration specialist instead of going the DIY route when dealing with water damage:

1. Quick reaction and restoration

Water damage incidents can leave you disoriented. You'll need time to get yourself back and ensure everyone is safe before getting on with the restoration. Unfortunately, the effects of the water on your property only get worse every minute you wait. Quick restoration is necessary, and a water removal professional can help you achieve that.

After receiving your initial call, most water damage restoration specialists will respond within 2 to 4 hours to assist in containing the damage and halting its progression.

These professionals also have specialized tools and extensive experience, so the restoration process will be faster than if you do it yourself.

2. Access to Professional-Grade Tools

Water damage restoration professionals use various cutting-edge tools to ensure that all extra water has been removed from a property.

Shop vacuums, air movers, and dehumidifiers are part of the sophisticated drying tools a reputable restoration company would have.

Air movers enhance evaporation, which aids in the drying process, and can reduce indoor humidity to a manageable level. On the other hand, dehumidifiers are used to eliminate water from the air, building materials, and belongings.

You most likely don't have any of these tools to do the job effectively, and buying them would cost you more than hiring a professional.

3. Identifying water leak sources

Sometimes it can be challenging to locate the source of water damage yourself. People often neglect the possibility of multiple causes for water leaks and just address the most obvious ones. However, this can be dangerous, as concealed sources of minor leaks through a wall or ceiling can cause massive damage to your property's structure.

Water removal professionals like SERVPRO of North Kenner, have modern tools to find water damage before it's too late. Their knowledge can be pretty helpful in swiftly locating the origins of water leaks and fixing them to protect your property.

4. Attention to detail

Water damage restoration requires attention to detail to ensure every drop of water has been dried up. This is often not the case if you go the DIY route. You may not have the patience to do the job as meticulously as a professional would, and even if you do, you may not know whether there's still moisture soaked into the structures.

On the other hand, water removal professionals are trained and certified and would give the job the attention it needs. They are also experienced in finding and eliminating any moisture on the property.

• Mold spores thrive on moisture
• Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water 
• Mold may produce health effects
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed, or the mold may return
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas

Does Your House Need A Breathing

2/10/2020 (Permalink)

Home lungs need care too!

Keeping your house properly maintained ensures you will have a place you love to call home for years.

Owning a home is a wonderful experience that comes with huge responsibilities. The list of what needs to be checked is a lengthy one that can honestly seem overwhelming at times – so let us handle a few of them for you! 

One area that many homeowners neglect is properly maintaining the air ducts. If you think about what the air ducts do for your home, it is very similar to what lungs do for your body. With that in mind, the industry standard for residential properties is to have the air ducts cleaned every two - five years. This process improves indoor air quality by moving debris within the duct work. It will increase the lifespan of your AC system and make it more efficient.

You may be thinking, “What could they possibly find in these units?” Well I am glad you asked!

We have removed things as crazy as a toy car, to the more serious discoveries of mold that people never knew existed. Fortunately, not only do we remove debris, we also treat it with an antimicrobial agent to eliminate mold and bacteria. This is a preventive measure that absolutely helps keep your system free of nasty airborne agents.

Do the smart thing and let us keep your house lungs clean. We will ensure your duct work, air handler and system are free of old toy cars and mold. We are equipped to handle any size unit whether you have a residential home that needs care or a building as large as a hospital. If we do find damaged duct-work or maybe the air duct was never connected, we can complete minor repairs such as reattaching them to the vent.

Warning Signs of Water Damage

11/18/2019 (Permalink)

Listen to SERVPRO and pay attention to your pipes!

Water Damage in N. Kenner, Harahan, & Lakeview Homes and Apartments Means Higher Humidity Levels

When a broken pipe happens inside your home, water coming out in a steady stream floods the area rapidly. Lost water like this can evaporate fast enough to cause other problems inside your home or apartment in N. Kenner, Harahan, & Lakeview. High amounts of water vapor can lead to a range of issues, from microbial infestations to loosened wall coverings.

We help property owners stabilize their home's humidity levels, which can prevent water damage in N. Kenner, Harahan, & Lakeviewfrom developing. We use thermal imaging equipment to locate water leaks, trapped water, and areas with higher-than-normal amounts of moisture content. Our drying equipment includes pumps of different sizes, air movers, desiccant machines, and dehumidifiers. Air scrubbers also play a role in making your home secure again, "Like it never even happened."

Water damage that occurs after water loss events can happen anywhere inside the house. Water does not stay confined to only the area where the pipe broke. This is why we use thermal imaging equipment in looking for damaged areas that might remain undetected otherwise. Peeling paint on ceilings is more evident than mold hidden inside wall spaces and under cabinet bottoms. However, both need mitigation and cleanup work to keep your home or apartment complex healthy.

When homeowners and property managers  call us immediately after an incident, we can extract the water and completely prevent water damage from spreading to other areas of the home or apartment complex . This process may seem highly intensive, but we must ensure that we extract the water as it spreads. Water travels to drier locations steadily, but extraction efforts can significantly slow this down.

Extracting water is only part of the work, and we set up the other machinery to ensure that water cannot settle in any location. Trapping it as either a liquid or as vapor in the air re-establishes dry conditions again. When a slow leak and not a broken pipe with sudden water loss caused the problem, we use similar methods. Either way, we restore dry conditions that protect your home from the effects of water damage.

SERVPRO of N. Kenner, Harahan, & Lakeview performs both preventative work against water damage and mitigation where current damage exists. Contact us for more information by calling (504) 496-0193. Our services line is always available, day or night, year-round!

While a leaking dishwasher may seem like a problem that can be set aside until you have time to find time for a solution, it is never a good idea to leave it waiting. Neglecting the issue until later can only cause more damage inside of your residence. As moisture builds, so too can further problems, such as mold damage.  

Calling professional water removal services to your New Orleans house after the first time your dishwasher leaks can prevent those future damages from occurring. The truth is that every time your dishwasher leaks gallons of water onto your floor, it compromises the hardwood flooring and the base of the cabinetry in your kitchen. As the wooden panels absorb excess moisture, the wood can begin to swell. As a result of the strain, the floorboard can start to blister and crack.  

After a particularly severe leak, it is wise to reach out to both an electrician and a professional cleanup and remediation company, such as SERVPRO. We are known for our swift service, as we always try to arrive at your home as soon as possible after your call. Our IICRC-certified technicians come equipped with advanced technology to help them tackle the damages in your home as quickly and effectively as possible.  

When we arrive, our SERVPRO techs can begin to remediation process as soon as possible. We can use pieces of equipment specifically designed for extracting water from your residence as swiftly as possible, such as wet/dry vacuums and extractors. However, removing the puddle of water isn't enough. Our SERVPRO technicians must also remove the moisture from your floorboards and the base of your cabinets, using devices such as flood drying mats, dehumidifiers, and axial fans. Once we finish, we can return your home to you feeling "Like it never even happened."  

When an appliance leaks and causes water damage inside of your kitchen, never hesitate. Reach out to SERVPRO of North Kenner, Harahan & Lakeview by phoning (504) 446-6496. Day or evening, we are ready to help you.

2/10/2019 (Permalink)

Even though flooding cannot be predicted or prevented, team SERVPRO's effective service can make it "Like it never even happened."

Levee Damage Can Flood Multiple New Orleans Homes

With New Orleans sitting so low beneath sea level, the threat is ever present for flood damage to occur. While the levee system works efficiently to prevent these breaches, severe weather systems can often threaten the structural integrity of these constructions and allow water to pour through vulnerabilities long enough to flood properties nearby. With so many homes that can become affected by this breach, contacting professional restoration technicians like ours right away is vital to protecting the investment you have made in your property.

While there are warning systems in place to alert homeowners to potential threats from the levees in New Orleans, the effect on the properties remains the same. Within a short period, water levels can rise considerably within the main floor of a home, causing irreparable damage to structural elements like flooring, drywall, and other construction materials. Our SERVPRO professionals can arrive quickly with effective mitigation solutions designed to extract water quickly from the affected areas and allow for drying efforts to begin immediately.

Flooding often requires build back and reconstruction services to play a role in between initial mitigation efforts and restoration. Our SERVPRO team features licensed contractors with the ability to not only build back walls and structural elements damaged by the flooding, but also rewire homes, reconstruct damaged plumbing, and run other utilities through the house as needed.

This comprehensive approach to restoration and reconstruction helps our recovery team to be a wise choice for those dealing with flooded homes throughout our service area. We can respond quickly to emergencies that threaten the property and its contents, and offer effective solutions to protect what matters most to you while our certified experts begin restoring the home to original condition.

Water Removal and Just as Important--Drying of Building Materials--Is SERVPRO's Method for Service to New Orleans Property Owners

In New Orleans, How to Choose the Right Provider for Water Extraction and Drying

Standing water can be exceptionally damaging to your home. Any wooden components in the structure of your home start to swell when introduced to water which can cause warping and lead to expensive, unnecessary replacement. There are also likely to be staining or soiling on your walls and skirtings left behind after the visible pooling is gone and any residual moisture can cause mold. As experienced practitioners in the industry, here are a few things you should ask for from your restoration provider.

Properties that require water removal in New Orleans are relatively common. Flash Floods are part of life for the communities in this part of the US, so it is only natural that there are a lot of service providers out there. Although it can be tempting to opt for the first one you find, spending a little time doing your research can pay dividends in the long run by ensuring you avoid secondary damages.

The first thing to look for is technicians that are qualified. Experience is valuable in any walk of life, but so too is training and expertise. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is an excellent place to start when checking if your provider has the necessary expertise. SERVPRO trains technicians in facilities all over the US and many of our technicians hold IICRC certificates in applied structural drying (ASD) and other vital areas of expertise.

Another important consideration for any homeowner looking to bring services into their home is resources. A company using outdated equipment and methods is incapable of completing a water removal service correctly. That is because water can easily escape the eye and reside in crawlspaces, wall cavities, subfloor or behind fittings. SERVPRO uses advanced drying mats and state-of-the-art injectidry systems. One of the reasons we can provide this type of equipment is that each franchise has access to national resources ensuring a better, advanced service.

When you invite restoration technicians into your home, you need to know they are qualified and armed with the right equipment. SERVPRO of North Kenner, Harahan & Lakeview is here to assist you 24 hours a day. Call us at (504) 468-3046

Did You Know That a Mold Infestation in New Orleans can Spread Within Hours?

11/18/2018 (Permalink)

When you see or smell the tell-tale signs of mold in your home, contact SERVPRO for effective remediation options.

Why SERVPRO Offers A Viable Mold Damage Solution For Your New Orleans Home

The journey from benign mold spores to damaging mold colonies can be a short one in New Orleans. When mold growth challenges homeowners in our community finding a reputable and reliable mold remediation company is crucial. Scare tactics or overblown promises are not helpful when microbial growth accelerates. Our professional approach and practical advice for mold remediation aftercare explain why to rely on our expertise.

Warm and humid climate makes mold damage in New Orleans a constant worry for homeowners. Mold spores are always ariborne and settled on surfaces. When moisture adds to the mix, the spores absorb even tiny amounts of water and begin their reproductive cycle. Flooding or water damage unresolved for more than 24 to 48 hours offer spores the fuel and the time to explode into full-blown colonies. Trained and certified mold remediators can halt the mold invasion through moisture control and manage mold damage with proven strategies.

If you wonder why SERVPRO is a leader in mold remediation look no further than the IICRC training and certification we require of our employees. Our mold remediation technicians use the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols to complete mold abatement projects safely and efficiently. We use physical barriers and negative pressure air scrubbers to contain the moldy spaces and vent the inevitable debris during removal. Mechanical scraping of moldy materials is effective, particularly when the mold grows on a flat, non-porous surface.

Even when the mold hyphae infiltrate porous materials, SERVPRO makes good use of modern technology to remove deeply embedded mold damage. Soda blasting uses sodium bicarbonate in a solution to abrade mold particles off surfaces gently yet effectively. These techniques help homeowners recover from mold infestations feared severe enough to require removal and replacement of building materials or disposal of belongings.

A solid reason why SERVPRO offers remarkable results is our treatment of the affected areas after mechanical removal with EPA registered antimicrobial agents. The combination of physical clearing of mold residues with the action of effective fungicides results in dependable mold remediation.

Mold remediation is incomplete until the moisture source is identified and eliminated. No reputable restoration company promises to rid a home entirely of mold as it is impossible to escape the constant quantity of mold spores. This is why SERVPRO is a trustworthy partner, bringing spore levels down to normal measurements and suggesting ways to limit the moisture that feeds a mold overgrowth.

Why choose SERVPRO of North Kenner, Harahan & Lakeview for your mold remediation needs? Our technicians, products, and research-proven methods make the difference. Call us at (504) 468-3046 to start the process to remediate the mold in your home.
